**MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR**

**SOLICITATION OF PROXIES BY MANAGEMENT**

This Management Information Circular (this "**Circular**") is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the management of Bitfarms Ltd. (the "**Corporation**") of proxies to be used at the annual general and special meeting (the "**Meeting**") of the holders (the "**Shareholders**") of common shares of the Corporation ("**Common Shares**") to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set out in the Notice of Meeting. It is expected that the solicitation will be made primarily by mail. However, officers and employees of the Corporation may also solicit proxies by telephone, e-mail or in person. These persons will receive no compensation for such solicitation, other than their ordinary salaries or fees. The total cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Corporation. Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 – *Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer* ("**NI 54-101**"), arrangements have been made with clearing agencies, brokerage houses and other financial intermediaries to forward proxy-related materials to the beneficial owners of the Common Shares. See "*Appointment and Revocation of Proxies – Notice to Beneficial Holders of Shares*" below. The Corporation will provide, without cost to such person, upon request to the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation, additional copies of the foregoing documents for this purpose.

**NOTICE AND ACCESS**

The Corporation has elected to use the notice-and-access process ("**Notice-and-Access**") that came into effect on February 11, 2013 under NI 54-101 – *Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer* ("**NI 54-101**") and National Instrument 51-102 – *Continuous Disclosure Obligations*, for distribution of this Circular and other meeting materials to registered Shareholders of the Corporation and Non-Registered Holders (as defined herein).

Notice-and-Access allows issuers to post electronic versions of meeting materials, including circulars, annual financial statements and management discussion and analysis, online, via SEDAR+ and one other website, rather than mailing paper copies of such meeting materials to Shareholders. The Corporation anticipates that utilizing the Notice-and-Access process will substantially reduce both postage and printing costs.

Meeting materials including the Circular and the Corporation's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the Corporation's management discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 are available on the Corporation's website at https://investor.bitfarms.com/financial-information, on the Corporation's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca, on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR website at www.sec.gov/EDGAR and on the website of the Corporation's registrar and transfer agent at https://docs.tsxtrust.com/2253. For more information regarding the Corporation, please also refer to the Annual Information Form, available on the Corporation's SEDAR+ profile and on EDGAR.

Although the Circular and related materials (collectively, the "**Meeting Materials**") will be posted electronically online, as noted above, the registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Holders (subject to the provisions set out below under the heading "**Voting by Beneficial Holders of Shares of the Corporation**") will receive a "notice package" (the "**Notice-and-Access Notification"**), by prepaid mail, which includes the information prescribed by NI 54-101, and a proxy form or voting instruction form from their respective intermediaries. Shareholders should follow the instructions for completion and delivery contained in the proxy or voting instruction form. Shareholders are reminded to review the Circular before voting.

Management of the Corporation intends to pay for intermediaries to forward the Notice-and-Access Notification to OBOs (as defined herein) under NI 54-101.

Shareholders will not receive a paper copy of the Meeting Materials unless they request paper copies from the Corporation. Hosting a virtual meeting is environmentally beneficial as it eliminates travel, reduces paper use, and minimizes waste. In order to receive a paper copy in time to vote before the meeting, requests for paper copies should be received by the Corporation's registrar and transfer agent, TSX Trust Company ("TSX Trust") by 4:00 pm on June 19, 2025. Shareholders who wish to receive paper copies of the Meeting Materials, or who have questions about Notice-and-Access may contact TSX Trust toll free at 1 (866) 600-5869 or email tsxtis@tmx.com.

**GENERAL INFORMATION RESPECTING THE MEETING**

No person has been authorized to give any information or make any representations in connection with the matters being considered herein other than those contained in this Circular, and, if given or made, any such information or representations should be considered not to have been authorized by the Corporation. This Circular does not constitute the solicitation of a proxy by any person in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such solicitation.

References in this Circular to the Meeting include any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

**Shareholders are reminded to review this Circular before voting.**

**APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES**

**Appointment of Proxy**

A Shareholder who does not plan on attending the Meeting in person is requested to complete and sign the enclosed form of proxy and to deliver it to TSX Trust Company: (i) by mail delivery to 301 – 100 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1; or (ii) by facsimile at (416) 595-9593. In order to be valid and acted upon at the Meeting, the form of proxy must be received no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 26, 2025 or be deposited with the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation before the commencement of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The deadline for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the Chair of the Meeting at his discretion, without notice.

If you are a non-registered holder of Common Shares and have received these materials through your broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary, please complete and return the form of proxy or voting instruction form provided to you by your broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary in accordance with the instructions provided therein.

The document appointing a proxy must be in writing and executed by the Shareholder or his attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

**A Shareholder submitting a form of proxy has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Shareholder) to represent him or her at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the form of proxy furnished by the Corporation. To exercise that right, the name of the Shareholder's appointee should be legibly printed in the blank space provided. In addition, the Shareholder should notify the appointee of the appointment, obtain his or her consent to act as appointee and instruct the appointee on how the Shareholder's Common Shares are to be voted.**

Shareholders who are not registered shareholders of the Corporation should refer to "*Notice to Beneficial Holders of Common Shares*" below.

**Revocation of Proxy**

A Shareholder who has submitted a form of proxy as directed hereunder may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof. If a person who has given a proxy personally attends the Meeting at which that proxy is to be voted, that person may revoke the proxy and vote in person. In addition to the revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or his attorney or authorized agent and deposited with TSX Trust Company at any time up to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 26, 2025: (i) by mail delivery to Suite 301 – 100 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1; or (ii) by facsimile to (416) 595-9593, or deposited with the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation before the commencement of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, and upon either of those deposits, the proxy will be revoked.

**Notice to Beneficial Holders of Common Shares**

Only registered Shareholders or proxyholders duly appointed by registered Shareholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Shareholders of the Corporation are "non-registered" shareholders because the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other intermediary or in the name of a clearing agency. Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to herein as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only registered Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in such Shareholder's name on the records of the Corporation. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co Trust (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc., which company acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). In the United States, the majority of such Common Shares are registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for the Depository Corporation Company, which is the United States equivalent of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. Common Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker's client can only be voted (for or against resolutions) at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting Common Shares for the brokers' clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

Regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders' meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided by the Corporation to the registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (i.e. the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate the responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. ("**Broadridge**"). Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to Broadridge, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (by way of the internet or telephone, for example). Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder who receives a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares must be communicated to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting) in order to have the Common Shares voted.

The notice-and-Access Notification is being sent to both registered Shareholders and indirectly to Beneficial Shareholders. Beneficial Shareholders fall into two categories – those who object to their identity being known to the issuers of securities which they own ("**Objecting Beneficial Owners", or "OBOs")** and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities they own ("**Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners**", or "**NOBOs**").

Although Beneficial Shareholders may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of their broker, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. **Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the proxy or voting instruction card provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker.**

All references to Shareholders in this Circular, instrument of proxy and Notice of Meeting are to registered shareholders of the Corporation unless specifically stated otherwise.

**Voting**

Common Shares represented by any properly executed proxy in the accompanying form will be voted for or against, or withheld from voting, as the case may be, on any ballot that may be called for in accordance with the instructions given by the Shareholder. **In the absence of such direction, such Common Shares will be voted in favour of the matters set out herein.**

The accompanying form of proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named in it with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting or other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date hereof, management of the Corporation is not aware of any such amendments, variations or other matters which may come before the Meeting. In the event that other matters come before the Meeting, then the management designees intend to vote in accordance with the judgment of management of the Corporation.

**INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON**

No person who has been a director or an executive officer of the Corporation at any time since the beginning of its last completed financial year, no proposed nominee for election as a director of the Corporation nor any associate of any such director, director nominee or officer has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, except as disclosed in this Circular.

**VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF**

The authorized share capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of Class A Preferred Shares without par value. The Corporation's Common Shares are listed on the TSX and on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "BITF".

As at close of business on May 22, 2025, there are 555,961,590 Common Shares issued and outstanding and nil Class A Preferred Shares outstanding. Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters to be acted upon at the Meeting.

The Corporation has fixed the close of business on May 27, 2025 (the "**Record Date**") as the record date. Shareholders whose names have been entered in the register of Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of, and to vote, at the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. Persons registered on the books of the Corporation at the close of business on the Record Date and persons who are transferees of any Common Shares acquired after such Record Date and who have produced properly endorsed certificates evidencing such Common Shares or who otherwise establish ownership thereof and demand, not later than ten (10) days before the Meeting, that their names be included in the list of Shareholders, are entitled to vote at the Meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors and officers of the Corporation, as at the date of this Circular, no person or corporation beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, 10% or more of the Common Shares other than as set forth below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name of Shareholder** | **Number of<br> Common Shares<sup>(1)(2)</sup>** | **Percentage of<br> Common Shares<sup>(1)(2)</sup>** |
| Riot Platforms, Inc. | 90110912 | 16.21% |

---

Notes:

(1) The information as to Common Shares beneficially owned, controlled or directed, not being within the knowledge of the Corporation,
has been obtained by the Corporation from publicly disclosed information and/or furnished by the relevant Shareholder.

(2) On a non-diluted basis.

**PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON**

To the knowledge of the board of directors of the Corporation (the "**Board**"), the only matters to be brought before the Meeting are those matters set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

1. Receipt of Financial Statements

The financial statements of the Corporation for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the report of the auditors thereon, will be submitted to the Meeting. Receipt at the Meeting of the auditor's report and the Corporation's audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 will not constitute approval or disapproval of any matters referred to therein.

2. Election of Directors

The Corporation's articles provide that the Board will consist of a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of ten (10) directors. The Board currently consists of six (6) directors. At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and, if thought fit, approve with or without variation a resolution re-electing the six (6) current members of the Board, namely: Benjamin Gagnon, Brian Howlett, Edith Hofmeister, Fanny Philip, Amy Freedman and Andrew J. Chang. Except for Amy Freedman, all nominated directors have each previously been elected as a director of the Corporation at a Shareholders' meeting for which a circular was issued.

Due to an executive transition, following which Geoffrey Morphy departed from his role as Chief Executive Officer and director of the Corporation, and Nicolas Bonta and Andres Finkielsztain departed from their roles as directors of the Corporation, five (5) of the six (6) directors are now independent. This reflects the Corporation's ongoing commitment to aligning its leadership structure with its strategic priorities and ensuring a seamless transition during this period of organizational change.

3. Appointment of Auditors

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("**PwC**") are the independent registered certified auditors of the Corporation. PwC was first appointed as auditor of the Corporation on June 18, 2020. Management of the Corporation intends to nominate PwC for re-appointment as auditors of the Corporation.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass an ordinary resolution to re-appoint PwC to serve as auditors of the Corporation until the next annual meeting of Shareholders and to authorize the directors of the Corporation to fix their remuneration as such. To be adopted, this resolution is required to be passed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting.

**Unless the Shareholder has specifically instructed that his or her Common Shares are to be withheld from voting in connection with the appointment of PwC, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote FOR the re-appointment of PwC as the auditors of the Corporation to hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until a successor is appointed, and to authorize the Board to fix their remuneration.**

**4.** **Approval of the Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan** 

As part of an ongoing review of the Corporation's compensation strategies, the Board has determined that it is advisable to adopt a new form of omnibus equity incentive plan (the "**LTIP**"), a copy of which is attached as Schedule "B" to this Circular, which shall supersede and replace the Corporation's existing long term incentive plan (the "**Old LTIP**").

 

*Background*

The Company currently maintains the Old LTIP, which is a rolling plan pursuant to which stock options ("**Options**") and restricted share units ("**RSUs**") may be issued, up to a maximum amount of Options and RSUs which together equal 10% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding at the time of any grant. Following a review by the Compensation Committee and the Board, it was determined that the adoption of a new long-term incentive plan, under which performance share units ("**PSUs**") and deferred share units ("**DSUs**") may be awarded, would provide a more balanced approach to incentive compensation through awards tied to longer-term growth.

The Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the LTIP on May 13, 2025. In accordance with the requirements of the TSX, all security based compensation arrangements must be approved by an ordinary resolution of all Shareholders. Accordingly, Shareholders will be asked to approve the LTIP at the Meeting.

 

*Overview of the LTIP*

Consistent with the Old LTIP, the objective of the LTIP is to promote the long-term success of the Corporation and the creation of Shareholder value by: (a) encouraging the attraction and retention of eligible persons under the LTIP; (b) encouraging such eligible persons to focus on critical long-term objectives; and (c) promoting greater alignment of the interests of such eligible persons with the interests of the Corporation. To this end, the LTIP provides for the grant of Options, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs (collectively, the "**Compensation Securities**") to eligible persons as further described in the LTIP, a copy of which is attached as Schedule "B" to this Circular.

It is anticipated that the LTIP will supersede the Old LTIP and all future awards of Compensation Securities will be governed by the LTIP. All Compensation Securities currently outstanding under the Old LTIP shall continue to be governed by the Old LTIP.

As of the date of this Circular, there are 29,318,393 Options and 2,920,858 RSUs outstanding under the Old LTIP, leaving a total of 23,356,908 Common Shares available for reservation pursuant to new grants of Compensation Securities under the LTIP. In monitoring and adjusting long-term incentive compensation, the Board takes into account its own observations on individual performance and its assessment of individual contributions to shareholder value, previous option grants and the objectives set for the NEOs. The scale of RSUs, PSUs, DSUs and Options is and will be generally commensurate to the appropriate level of base compensation for each level of responsibility. The Board will consider the overall number of RSUs, PSUs, DSUs and Options that are outstanding relative to the number of outstanding Common Shares in determining whether to make any new grants of RSUs, PSUs, DSUs and Options and the size of such grants.

 

*Summary of the LTIP*

The following is a summary of the LTIP, which is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the LTIP attached hereto as Schedule "B". Capitalized terms used in the summary below and not otherwise defined have the meaning ascribed thereto in the LTIP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The aggregate maximum number of Common Shares available for issuance from treasury under the LTIP and
any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Corporation at any given time shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding Common

under the LTIP and which has been cancelled, repurchased, expired, exercised or terminated in accordance with the terms of the LTIP will
again be available under the LTIP;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained, the aggregate number of Common Shares for which
Compensation Securities under the LTIP may be granted to any one participant under the LTIP in any twelve (12) month period shall not
exceed five (5%) percent of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated as of the grant date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Unless disinterested Shareholder approval is obtained, the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares issuable
to insiders of the Company (as a group) pursuant to the LTIP and any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Corporation
shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company at any time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Unless disinterested Shareholder approval is obtained, the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares issued

only with the written permission of the Board, by a net exercise whereby the Option holder will receive only the number of Common Shares
underlying the Option that is the equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (a) the product of the number of Options being exercised
multiplied by the difference between the VWAP of the underlying Common Shares and the exercise price of the subject Options by, (b) the
VWAP of the underlying Common Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) If an Eligible Person's employment or service is terminated, the Compensation Security granted or
issued to such eligible person under the LTIP is subject to certain termination and expiry provisions as further described in the LTIP,
depending on whether the Eligible Person was terminated for cause, without cause or as a result of disability or death;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) The unallocated entitlements under the LTIP must be re-approved by Shareholders every three years after
institution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) In the event of a change of control (as defined in the LTIP), pursuant to which an Eligible Person ceases
to be an Eligible Person, all Compensation Securities outstanding shall be immediately exercisable.

**"RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION, THAT:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** The Company's long term incentive plan, under which up to 10% of the outstanding common shares of
the Company may be awarded as share-based compensation to eligible persons, in the form attached as Schedule "B" to the management
information circular dated May 23, 2025, is hereby approved and confirmed, and the unallocated entitlements thereunder are approved until
May 23, 2028;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** Any one director or officer of the Corporation be and the same is hereby authorized, for and on behalf
of the Corporation, to execute or cause to be executed, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, all such documents and filings, and to
do or cause to be done all such acts and things, as in the opinion of such director or officer may be necessary or desirable in order
to carry out the terms of this resolution, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of such documents
or the doing of any such act or thing.

**Unless the Shareholder has specifically instructed that his or her Common Shares are to be withheld from voting in connection with the above resolution, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote FOR the above resolution.** To be effective, the resolution must be passed by the affirmative votes cast by holders or more than 50% of the Common Shares represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting that vote on the resolution.

5. Approval of Consolidation

**Basis for Consolidation**

At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to approve a special resolution (the "**Common Share Consolidation Resolution**") to consolidate all of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common Shares (the "**Consolidation**") on the basis of a maximum ratio of 10:1 (the "**Ratio**"), i.e., not more than ten (10) pre-consolidation Shares for one (1) post-consolidation Share, effective as at the discretion of the Board, provided that the effective date shall be no later than June 30, 2027 (the "**Effective Time**").

If the Common Share Consolidation Resolution is approved, the Consolidation will be implemented only upon a determination by the Board that the Consolidation is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders at that time. In connection with any determination to implement a proposed Consolidation, the Board will set the timing for such Consolidation. The special resolution will also authorize the Board to elect not to proceed with, and abandon, the Consolidation at any time if it elects in its sole discretion to do so. The Consolidation is subject to approval by the shareholders and acceptance by the TSX. No further action on the part of the shareholders will be required in order for the Board to implement the Consolidation if the resolution is approved.

Under Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "**Minimum Bid Price Requirement**"), a company is required to maintain a minimum share price of US$1.00. The Corporation believes that existing and prospective investors will perceive an investment in the Common Shares more favourably if the Common Shares continue to be listed on Nasdaq. Delisting of the Common Shares from Nasdaq could adversely affect the Corporation's ability to raise equity financing, as and when needed, and may increase the dilution that existing Shareholders would experience as a result of any such equity financing or other transaction involving the future issuance of Common Shares. The proposed Consolidation would facilitate the Corporation's continued compliance with the policies of the Nasdaq and, specifically, the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. There have been a number of benefits to the Corporation as a result of listing on the Nasdaq, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Expansion of the Corporation's investor base;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Increased access to a larger domestic and global financial market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Greater coverage by industry and financial analysts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The ability to disseminate information regarding the Corporation's financial performance, business milestones and other information
to a larger audience.

The Corporation also believes that the Consolidation may lead to an increase in the trading price of the Common Shares, as it could potentially heighten the interest of the analyst and financial community in the Corporation and potentially broaden the pool of potential investors in the Common Shares, including certain institutional investors. Investors may also benefit from lower trading costs associated with a higher trading price for post-Consolidation Common Shares. Many investors pay commissions based on the number of Common Shares traded when they buy or sell Common Shares. If the trading price for post-Consolidation Common Shares is higher, Shareholders may pay lower commissions to trade a fixed dollar amount of post-Consolidation Common Shares than they would if they traded the same dollar amount of pre-Consolidation Common Shares. The proposed Ratio will help Directors to mitigate potential dilution, depending on the circumstances under which the Consolidation is implemented.

Accordingly, the Corporation is seeking approval by the shareholders of the Common Share Consolidation Resolution. If the Common Share Consolidation Resolution is approved, it would be valid until the Effective Time (being the date which is two years from the date of the Meeting).

**Risks of the Consolidation**

There is no assurance that the market price of the consolidated Common Shares will increase as a result of the Consolidation. The marketability and trading liquidity of the consolidated shares of the Corporation may not improve. The Consolidation may result in some shareholders owning "odd lots" of less than 100 or 1,000 Common Shares, which may be more difficult for such shareholders to sell or which may require greater transaction costs per Common Share to sell.

**Principal Effects of the Consolidation**

The Consolidation will not have a dilutive effect on the Corporation's shareholders since each shareholder will hold the same percentage of Common Shares outstanding immediately following the Consolidation as such shareholder held immediately prior to the Consolidation. The Consolidation will not affect the relative voting and other rights that accompany the Common Shares.

If the Board decides to proceed with the Consolidation at some point prior to the Effective Time, the principal effects of the Consolidation will include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The fair market value of each Common Share may increase and will, in part, form the basis upon which further
Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation will be issued (recognizing that the Board may elect to consolidate on the basis
of a lesser ratio that it deems appropriate);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Based on the 555,961,590 issued and outstanding Common Shares as at May 22, 2025, if a Consolidation were
effected at any of the ratios set forth in the table below, the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares would be reduced as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Ratio** | **Number of<br> Post-Consolidation<br> Common Shares** | **Number of<br> Post-Consolidation<br> Common Shares** |
| 2 for 1 |  | 277980795 |
| 3 for 1 |  | 185320530 |
| 4 for 1 |  | 138990398 |
| 5 for 1 |  | 111192318 |
| 6 for 1 |  | 92660265 |
| 7 for 1 |  | 79423084 |
| 8 for 1 |  | 69495199 |
| 9 for 1 |  | 61773510 |
| 10 for 1 |  | 55596159 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The exercise prices and the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of any
stock options or other convertible or exchangeable securities of the Corporation will be automatically adjusted based on the consolidation
ratio selected by the Board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) As the Corporation currently has an unlimited number of Common Shares authorized for issuance, the Consolidation
will not have any effect on the number of Common Shares of the Corporation available for issuance.

**Effect on Fractional Shareholders**

No fractional shares will be issued, and no cash consideration will be paid if, as a result of the Consolidation, a shareholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional Common Share. After the Consolidation, the then-current shareholders of the Corporation will have no further interest in the Corporation with respect to their fractional Common Shares. This is not, however, the purpose for which the Corporation is effecting the Consolidation.

**Effect on Share Certificates**

If the Consolidation is approved by the shareholders and implemented by the Board, registered shareholders will be required to exchange their Common Share certificates representing pre-consolidation Common Shares for new Common Share certificates representing the post-Consolidation Common Shares. Following the determination of the Consolidation ratio by the Board and as soon as possible following the effective date of the Consolidation, registered shareholders will be sent a letter of transmittal by the Corporation's transfer agent, TSX Trust Company (the "**Transfer Agent**"). The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how to surrender Common Share certificate(s) representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent will forward to each registered shareholder who has sent the required documents a new Common Share certificate representing the number of post-Consolidation Common Shares to which the shareholder is entitled. Until surrendered, each Common Share certificate representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole post-Consolidation Common Shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. Shareholders should not destroy any Common Share certificates and should not submit any Common Share certificates until requested to do so. The method of delivery of certificates representing Common Shares and the letter of transmittal, along with all other required documents, will be at the option and risk of the person surrendering them. It is recommended that such documents be delivered by hand to the Transfer Agent, at the address noted in the letter of transmittal, and a receipt obtained therefore, or, if mailed, that registered mail, with return receipt requested, be used and that proper insurance be obtained.

No new Common Share certificates will be issued to a shareholder until such shareholder has surrendered the corresponding pre-Consolidation certificates, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the Transfer Agent. Consequently, following the Consolidation, shareholders will need to surrender their old Common Share certificates before they will be able to sell or transfer their Common Shares. If an old Common Share certificate has any restrictive legends on the back thereof, the new Common Share certificate will be issued with the same restrictive legends.

If the Consolidation is implemented by the Board, intermediaries will be instructed to effect the Consolidation for Non-Registered Holders. However, such intermediaries may have different procedures than registered shareholders for processing the Consolidation. If you hold your Common Shares with such an intermediary and if you have any questions in this regard, the Corporation encourages you to contact your intermediary.

**Procedure for Implementing the Share Consolidation**

If the Common Share Consolidation Resolution is approved by the shareholders and the Board decides to implement the Consolidation, the Corporation will file Articles of Amendment pursuant to the *Business Corporations Act* (Ontario) (the "**OBCA**") to amend the articles of the Corporation. The Consolidation will become effective on the date shown in the certificate of Amendment issued pursuant to the Act.

In order to complete the Consolidation, regulatory approval from TSX will be required and registered shareholders will be required to return a letter of transmittal in order to receive their post-consolidation shares. Detailed procedures for the Consolidation will be set out in a future press release, if Corporation determines to proceed.

**Dissent Rights**

Under the Act, shareholders do not have dissent and/or appraisal rights with respect to the Consolidation.

**Special Resolution**

Pursuant to the OBCA, a share consolidation requires approval of the shareholders by way of a special resolution, being a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by holders of Common Shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting. The text of the Common Share Consolidation Resolution to be voted at the Meeting by shareholders is set forth below and if passed, shall be valid until the Effective Time:

**"RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION, THAT:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The articles of the Corporation be amended to change the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares
of the Corporation by consolidating the issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for
up to ten (10) pre-consolidation Common Shares of the Corporation, or for such other lesser whole or fractional number of existing Common
Shares that the directors, in their sole direction, determine to be appropriate (the "**Consolidation** "), and in the event
that the Consolidation would otherwise result in a holder of Common Shares holding a fraction of a Common Share, such holder shall not
receive any whole new Common Shares or any cash consideration for each such fraction, such amendment to become effective at a date in
the future to be determined by the board of directors of the Corporation (the "**Board**") which date shall not be later
than June 30, 2025 (the "**Effective Time** ").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Any director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the Corporation,
to execute and deliver or cause to be delivered Articles of Amendment to the Director under the *Business Corporations Act* (Ontario)
at such time as the Board determines to implement the Consolidation not later than the Effective Time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Notwithstanding that this special resolution has been duly passed by the holders of the Common Shares,
the directors of the Corporation are hereby authorized in their sole discretion to revoke this special resolution in whole or in part
at any time prior to its being given effect without further notice to, or approval of, the holders of the Common Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Any one director or officer of the Corporation be and the same is hereby authorized, for and on behalf
of the Corporation, to execute or cause to be executed, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, all such documents and filings, and to
do or cause to be done all such acts and things, as in the opinion of such director or officer may be necessary or desirable in order
to carry out the terms of this resolution, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of such documents
or the doing of any such act or thing.

The Board recommends that the Shareholders vote FOR the Common Share Consolidation Resolution. **To be effective, the Common Share Consolidation Resolution must be approved by the affirmative vote of not less than two thirds or the votes cast by the holders of Common Shares present in person, or represented by proxy, at the Meeting.**

6. Other Matters

Management of the Corporation knows of no amendment, variation or other matter to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the notice of meeting accompanying this Circular. However, if any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, valid forms of proxy will be voted on such matter in accordance with the best judgment of the persons voting the proxy.

**STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION**

**Named Executive Officers**

The following discussion describes the significant elements of our executive compensation program, with particular emphasis on the process for determining compensation payable to the Corporation's chief executive officer ("**CEO**"), chief financial officer ("**CFO**"), and, other than the CEO and CFO, each of the Corporation's three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000 (collectively, the "**Named Executive Officers**" or "**NEOs**") for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the NEOs were:

● Geoffrey Morphy former President and CEO of the Corporation;

● Jeffrey Lucas, CFO of the Corporation;

● Benjamin Gagnon, CEO and former Chief Mining Officer of the Corporation;

● Benoit Gobeil, Former Executive Vice President of Operations and Infrastructure,

● Philippe Fortier, Executive Vice President Corporate Development

● Tracy Krumme, Senior Vice President, Head of Investor Relations & Corporate Communications

**Compensation Discussion and Analysis**

**Oversight and description of Directors and NEO Compensation**

Compensation plays an important role in achieving short and long-term business objectives that ultimately drive business success. The Corporation's compensation philosophy is to foster entrepreneurship at all levels of the organization through, among other things, the granting of Options and RSUs, which will be a significant component of each NEO's compensation. This approach is based on the assumption that the performance of the Common Share price over the long term is an important indicator of long-term performance.

The Corporation's compensation philosophy is based on the following fundamental principles:

● *Compensation programs align with Shareholder interests* – the Corporation aligns the goals of executives with maximizing long-term Shareholder value;

● *Performance sensitive* – compensation for executive officers is linked to operating and market performance of the Corporation and should fluctuate with the performance; and

● *Offer market competitive compensation to attract and retain talent* – the compensation program provides market competitive pay in terms of value and structure in order to retain existing employees who are performing according to their objectives and to attract new individuals of the highest calibre.

The objectives of the compensation program in compensating all NEOs has been developed based on the above-mentioned compensation philosophy and aims to:

● attract and retain highly qualified executive officers;

● align the interests of NEOs with Shareholders' interests and with the execution of the Corporation's business strategy;

● evaluate NEOs performance on the basis of key measurements that correlate to long-term Shareholder value; and

● tie compensation directly to those measurements and reward based on achieving and exceeding predetermined objectives.

The Corporation believes that transparent, objective and easily verified corporate goals, combined with individual performance goals, play an important role in creating and maintaining an effective compensation strategy for the NEOs. The Corporation's objective is to establish benchmarks and targets for its NEOs that will enhance Shareholder value if achieved.

Aggregate compensation for each NEO is designed to be competitive. The compensation committee of the Board (the "**Compensation Committee**") reviews from time to time the compensation practices of similarly situated companies when considering the Corporation's NEOs compensation practices. The Compensation Committee reviews each element of compensation for market competitiveness, and although it may weigh a particular element more heavily based on the NEO's role within the Corporation, it is primarily focused on remaining competitive in the market with respect to total compensation.

From time to time, on an ad hoc basis, the Compensation Committee, along with the head of human resources reviews data related to compensation levels and programs of various companies that are similar in size to the Corporation and operate within technology industries or other emerging sectors. The Compensation Committee also relies on the experience of its members as officers and/or directors at other companies in similar lines of business as the Corporation in assessing compensation levels. These other companies are identified in this Circular under the heading "*CORPORATE GOVERNANCE – Directorships*".

**Compensation Governance**

The Compensation Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Corporation has in place an appropriate plan for NEOs compensation and for making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of the Corporation's NEOs. The Compensation Committee will ensure that total compensation paid to all NEOs is fair, reasonable, and consistent with the Corporation's compensation philosophy.

From time to time the Compensation Committee makes, and the Board reviews and may approve, recommendations regarding compensation to executive officers and directors. A combination of fixed and variable compensation is used to motivate NEOs to achieve overall corporate goals. The three basic components of the Corporation's NEOs compensation program are:

● base salary;

● annual incentive (bonus) payments; and

● RSUs and option-based compensation (and, starting in 2025, DSUs and PSUs).

Base salaries are paid in cash and constitute the fixed portion of the total compensation paid to NEOs. Annual incentives comprise the remainder and represent compensation that is "at risk" and thus may or may not be paid to the respective NEO depending on: (i) whether the NEO is able to meet or exceed his or her applicable performance targets; and, (ii) market performance of the Common Shares. With 2024 being a year of management and board transition, no specific formula was developed to assign a specific weighting to each of these components. Instead, the Board had considered each performance target and the Corporation's performance overall and assigned compensation based on this assessment and the recommendations of the Compensation Committee. Starting in 2025 a revised compensation plan is being put in place with STIP set as a percentage of base salary and a more defined annual scorecard for performance. In addition, LTIP awards will be granted annually with a mix of time based and performance-based awards. This is part of an ongoing effort of the Compensation Committee to ensure compensation is in keeping with best practices, measurably tied to objectives and shareholder value creation.

**Base Salary**

The Compensation Committee recommends, and the Board approves the salary ranges for the NEOs. The base salary review for each NEO is based on an assessment of factors such as current competitive market conditions, compensation levels and practices of similarly situated companies and particular skills, such as leadership ability and management effectiveness, experience, responsibility and proven or expected performance of the particular individual. The Corporation may consider comparative data for the Corporation's peer group that are accumulated from a number of external sources including independent consultants.

**Annual Incentive Discretionary Performance Bonus (Cash Bonus) Payments**

Cash annual incentive awards are discretionary and based on various personal and company-wide achievements. Performance goals for annual incentive payments are subjective and include achieving individual and corporate targets and objectives, as well as general performance in day-to-day corporate activities, and industry competitive factors.

The Board approves target annual incentive amounts for each NEO at the beginning of each financial year. The Compensation Committee determines target amounts based on a number of factors including comparable compensation of similar companies.

In order to develop a recommendation to the Board regarding annual incentive payments, the Compensation Committee assesses NEO performance subjectively, considering each NEO's respective success in achieving his or her individual objectives, contributions to the achievement of the Corporation's goals, and contributions to meeting the needs of the Corporation that arise on a day-to-day basis.

The Board relies heavily on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee in granting annual incentives. However, the Board reserves ultimate discretion in determining whether each NEO has met his or her targets, and has the right make positive or negative adjustments to any annual incentive payment recommended by the Compensation Committee that it deems appropriate.

**Long-Term Incentive Plan**

Under the Corporation's Old LTIP, last approved by the Shareholders on April 16, 2024, Options and RSUs have been granted by, and at the discretion of, the Board upon recommendation from the Compensation Committee. Since the time the Corporation adopted the Old LTIP, Options to purchase a total of 44,640,927 Common Shares have been issued to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation. As of the date of this Circular, a total of 29,318,393 Options and 2,920,858 RSUs are outstanding under the Old LTIP. If the LTIP is approved at the Meeting, all future awards of Compensation Securities will be governed by the LTIP, and all Options and RSUs currently outstanding under the Old LTIP will continue to be governed by the Old LTIP.

Grants of long-term equity incentives are an integral component of the Corporation's NEO compensation structure. Equity-based awards are a variable element of compensation that allows the Corporation to reward NEOs for their sustained contributions to the Corporation while aligning with share price performance.

In monitoring and adjusting long term incentive compensation, the Board takes into account its own observations on individual performance and its assessment of individual contributions to shareholder value, previous option grants and the objectives set for the NEOs. The scale of RSUs and Options is generally commensurate to the appropriate level of base compensation for each level of responsibility. The Board will consider the overall number of RSUs and Options (and, if the LTIP is approved, DSUs and PSUs) that are outstanding relative to the number of outstanding Common Shares in determining whether to make any new grants of RSUs, PSUs, DSUs and Options and the size of such grants.

The Old LTIP is a rolling incentive plan, under which 10% of the outstanding Common Shares at any given time are available for issuance thereunder. The purpose of the Old LTIP is to advance the interests of the Corporation by (i) providing certain employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Corporation (collectively, the "**Award Holders**") with additional performance incentive; (ii) encouraging Common Share ownership by the Award Holders; (iii) increasing the proprietary interest of the Award Holders in the success of the Corporation; (iv) encouraging the Award Holders to remain with the Corporation; and (v) attracting new employees, officers, directors and consultants to the Corporation.

The following information is intended to be a brief description and summary of the material features of the Old LTIP:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) The aggregate maximum number of Common Shares available for issuance from treasury under the Old LTIP
and all of the Company's other security-based compensation arrangements at any given time is 10% of the outstanding Common Shares
as at the date of grant of an option under the Old LTIP, subject to adjustment or increase of such number pursuant to the terms of the
Old LTIP. Any Common Shares subject to an award ()"**Award**") of options or RSUs which has been granted under the Old LTIP
and which have been cancelled, repurchased, expired or terminated in accordance with the terms of the Old LTIP without having been exercised,
or any Award which has been vested or exercised, as applicable, will again be available under the Old LTIP;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) Each RSU entitles the holder to receive one Common Share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) The exercise price of an option shall be determined by the Board at the time each option is granted, provided
that such price shall not be less than (i) if the Common Shares are listed on the Exchange (as such term is defined in the Old LTIP),
the last closing price of the Common Shares on the Exchange; or (ii) if the Common Shares are not listed on the Exchange, in accordance
with the rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed at the time of the grant; or (iii) if the Common Shares are
not listed on any stock exchange, the minimum exercise price as determined by the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) The aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted to insiders of
the Corporation at any given time, or within a 12-month period, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Common Shares then outstanding,
unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained. The aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to awards
granted to any one person or entity within any twelve-month period shall not exceed 5% of the total number of Common Shares then outstanding
unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) The aggregate number of Common Shares issued to insiders within any 12-month period, or issuable to insiders
at any time, under the Plan and any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Corporation, may not exceed 10% of the total
number of issued and outstanding Common Shares during any such period of time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) The total number of Shares issuable pursuant to RSUs to any Participant (as such term is defined in the
Old LTIP) under the Old LTIP shall not exceed 1.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the Award;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g) Directors, officers, consultants and employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, and employees of
a person or company which provides management services to the Corporation or its subsidiaries, are eligible to participate in the Old
LTIP. Subject to compliance with requirements of the applicable regulators, Awards Holders (as such term is defined in the Old LTIP) may
elect to hold Awards granted to them in an incorporated entity wholly owned by them and such entity is bound by the Old LTIP in the same
manner as if the Awards were held by the Award Holder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h) Award and all rights thereunder shall expire on the date set out in the Award agreement, provided that
in no circumstances shall the duration of an Award exceed ten (10) years, or the maximum term permitted by the applicable regulators;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i) If any Awards expire during a period when trading of the Corporation's securities by certain persons
as designated by the Corporation is prohibited or within 10 business days after the end of such a period, the term of those Awards will
be extended to 10 business days after the end of the prohibited trading period, unless such extension is prohibited by any applicable
law or the policies of the applicable regulators;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j) The Board may determine when any Award will become exercisable and may determine that the Award will be
exercisable immediately upon the date of grant, or in instalments or pursuant to a vesting schedule. However, unless the Board determines
otherwise, Awards issued pursuant to the Old LTIP are generally subject to a vesting schedule as follows: (i) 1/3 upon the date of grant;
(ii) 1/3 upon the first anniversary of the date of grant; and (iii) 1/3 upon the second anniversary of the date of grant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k) In the event an Award Holder ceases to be eligible for the grant of Awards under the Old LTIP, Awards
previously granted to such person will cease to be exercisable within a period of 90 days after the date such person ceases to be eligible
under the Old LTIP, or such longer or shorter period as determined by the Board, provided that no Award shall remain outstanding for any
period which exceeds the earlier of: (i) the expiry date of such Award; and (ii) 12 months following the date such person ceases to be
eligible under the Old LTIP;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l) If an Option Holder (as such term is defined in the Old LTIP) ceases to be a director or officer of the
Company, or its subsidiaries, for any reason (other than death, and for cause), such Option Holder may exercise their Options to the extent
that the Option Holder was entitled to exercise it at the date of such cessation, provided that such exercise must occur within 12 months
after the Award Holder ceases to be a director, or officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;m) If an Option Holder ceases to be director or officer of the Corporation or its subsidiaries for Cause
(as such term is defined in the Old LTIP), any vested Options or unvested Options held by the Option Holder at the time of such termination
shall be cancelled and forfeited upon the Termination Date (as such term is defined in the Old LTIP);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;n) If an Option Holder ceases to be a consultant or employee of the Corporation, or its subsidiaries, for
any reason (other than death and for Cause), such Option Holder may exercise their Options to the extent that the Option Holder was entitled
to exercise it at the date of such cessation, provided that such exercise must occur within 90 days after the Award Holder ceases to be
a consultant or employee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o) If an Option Holder ceases to be a consultant or employee of the Corporation or its subsidiaries for Cause,
any vested Options or unvested Options held by the Option Holder at the time of such termination shall be cancelled and forfeited upon
the Termination Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;p) In the event of death of an Award Holder, the Award previously granted shall pass to the Personal Representative,
as defined in the Old LTIP, and any vested Awards shall be exercisable at the earliest between 12 months after such death and the applicable
Expiry Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;q) In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Old LTIP), all restrictions upon any RSUs shall
lapse immediately and become fully vested and will accrue to the Participant.

**Compensation Consultants**

The Corporation retained Corporate Governance Partners, Inc. ("**CGP**") as an independent executive compensation consultant with significant global executive and director compensation experience. On January 10, 2025, CGP was retained to review the Corporation's compensation philosophy and the compensation levels of the directors and NEOs to ensure they were commensurate with industry standards. CGP has not provided any other services to the Corporation other than executive and director compensation consulting services. The aggregate fees related to the executive and directors' consulting services for 2025 paid to CGP is $39,000 and the aggregate fees paid prior to 2025 were Nil.

**Annual Burn Rate**

In accordance with the requirements of section 613 of the TSX Company Manual, the following table sets out the burn rate of the awards granted under the Corporation's security-based compensation arrangements as of the end of the financial years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. As of May 23, 2025, the only security-based compensation arrangement is the Old LTIP. The table below sets out the burn rate for the Options and RSUs granted under the Old LTIP and the previous options plan for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. The burn rate is calculated by dividing the number of Options or RSUs granted under the respective plans during the relevant fiscal year by the weighted average number of securities outstanding for the applicable fiscal year.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended<br> December 31, <br> 2024** | **Year Ended<br> December 31, <br> 2023** |
| Number of Options granted under the Old LTIP | 9010000 | 13156250 |
| Number of RSUs granted under the Old LTIP | 706000 | 475000 |

<u>Notes</u>

(1) Grant date fair value calculations are based on the Black-Scholes
Option Pricing Model and weighted average assumptions. Option-pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions
including the expected stock price volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and
therefore, in management's opinion, existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of share- and
option-based awards.

(2) "Annual incentive plan" means any plan that provides
compensation intended to motivate performance to occur within one fiscal year but does not include option or share-based awards.

(3) "Long term incentive plan" means any plan that provides
compensation intended to motivate performance to occur over a period greater than one fiscal year but does not include option or share-based
awards.

(4) Amounts reflect monthly car allowance and contributions to the
retirement savings benefits.

(5) Geoffrey Morphy became a director of the Corporation on May 19,
2020. On August 31, 2020, Mr. Morphy resigned as a Director of the Corporation and became Executive Vice-President Finance, Administration

the Common Shares were listed for trading on Nasdaq.

There is no direct correlation between the performance of the Common Shares and executive compensation. The Common Share price may be affected by a number of factors beyond the control of directors and management, including general and industry-specific economic and market conditions. The Compensation Committee evaluates performance by reference to the overall direction and success of the Corporation rather than by any short-term fluctuations in the trading price of the Common Shares.

**Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans**

31, 2024.

(3) Based on 555,961,590 Common Shares issued and outstanding at
the close of business on May 22, 2025.

**Compensation Risk Considerations**

The Compensation Committee is responsible for considering, establishing and reviewing executive compensation programs and whether the programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. The Corporation anticipates the programs will be balanced and will not motivate unnecessary or excessive risk taking.

Base salaries are fixed in amount and do not encourage risk taking. While annual incentive awards will focus on the achievement of short-term or annual goals, and while short-term goals may encourage the taking of short-term risks at the expense of long-term results, the Corporation's annual incentive award program will represent a small percentage of employees' compensation opportunities.

Stock option awards are important to further align employees' interests with those of the Shareholders. The ultimate value of the awards is tied to the price of the Common Shares and since awards are expected to be staggered and subject to long-term vesting schedules, they will help ensure that NEOs have significant value tied in long-term stock price performance.

**Compensation of Directors**

Pursuant to its Articles, the Corporation may have a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of ten (10) directors. At the date of the Circular, the Corporation has six (6) directors.

The Corporation regularly reviews the competitiveness of non-executive director compensation levels against the competitive marketplace. While the results of that review have generally demonstrated that non-executive director compensation levels at the Corporation were competitive with the market, adjustments to annual fees have been made throughout the Corporation's growth cycle in recent years to further strengthen the Corporation's competitiveness while also reflecting the greater time and commitment required of the roles. In particular, and most recently, an adjustment was made effective February 13, 2025 to the annual fees for non-executive directors. Director compensation will also include an annual grant of equity awards in the form of RSU's or DSU's. A summary of the changes in compensation provided to the Corporation's non-executive directors is as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Item** | **Effective February 13,**<br> **2025 (US$)** |
| Chairman of the Board | $150000 |
| Non-Executive Director Annual Cash Retainer | $100000 |
| Board Committee Chair | $20000 |
| Audit Committee Chair | $30000 |

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE**

National Policy 58-201 – *Corporate Governance Guidelines* of the Canadian Securities Administrators sets out a series of guidelines for effective corporate governance (the "**Guidelines**"). The Guidelines address matters such as the constitution and independence of corporate boards, the functions to be performed by boards and their committees and the effectiveness and education of board members. National Instrument 58-101 – *Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices* ("**NI 58-101**") requires the disclosure by each listed corporation of its approach to corporate governance with reference to the Guidelines as it is recognized that the unique characteristics of individual corporations will result in varying degrees of compliance.

Set out below is a description of the Corporation's approach to corporate governance in relation to the Guidelines.

**Board of Directors**

NI 58-101 defines an "independent director" as a director who has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation. A "material relationship" is in turn defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with such member's independent judgment.

The Board is currently comprised of six (6) members, five (5) of whom the Board has determined to be "independent directors" within the meaning of NI 58-101. Brian Howlett, Edith Hofmeister, Fanny Philip, Amy Freedman and Andrew J. Chang are considered independent directors within the meaning of NI 58-101 since they are each independent of management and free from any material relationship with the Corporation. The basis for this determination is that, since the date of incorporation of the Corporation, none of the independent directors has worked for the Corporation, received remuneration from the Corporation or had material contracts with or material interests in the Corporation which could interfere with their ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Corporation. Ben Gagnon is not considered an independent director because of his status as Chief Executive Officer and the professional fees he received of more than $150,000.

Brian Howlett serves as Chairman of the Board. The Chairman is responsible for providing leadership to enhance Board effectiveness and be explicitly accountable for ensuring that the Board carries out its responsibilities effectively, overseeing all aspects of its direction and administration, adopting procedures to ensure that the Board can conduct its work effectively and efficiently, responding to conflict of interest situation, managing relations with external stakeholders and facilitating effective communication with independent directors and management.

The Board functions independently of management. When appropriate, the Board and the Committees of the Board may meet in the absence of members of management, or the independent directors may hold *in camera* sessions at which ne the officers of the Corporation are in attendance. The Compensation Committee is composed by independent directors who hold meetings from time to time and makes recommendations to the Board on matters pertaining to their mandate.

The Board has adopted a written mandate, a copy of which is available on the Corporation's website at <u>www.bitfarms.com</u> and under the Corporation's SEDAR+ profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>. The Board has not adopted written position descriptions for the Chair of the Board or the committee chairs on the basis that the roles are well understood by all of the directors. The Board has also not adopted a written position description for the Chief Executive Officer on the same basis, however, the Board has developed corporate goals and objectives for the Chief Executive Officer by setting out key responsibilities.

**Directorships**

Certain of the directors and proposed directors of the Corporation are also current directors of other reporting issuers (or equivalent) in a jurisdiction or a foreign jurisdiction as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| <br> **Name of Director** | **Other reporting issuer**<br> **(or equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction)** | <br> **Trading Market** |
| Edith Hofmeister | OR Royalties Inc. <br> Prime Mining Corp. | TSX: OR and NYSE: OR<br> TSX.V: PRYM / OTCQX: PRMNF / FRA: O4V3 |
| Brian Howlett | Rocky Shore Gold Ltd.<br> Voyageur Mineral Explorers Inc. | CSE:RSG<br> CSE:VOY |
| Amy Freedman | Mandalay Resources Corporation <br> Irish Residential Properties REIT plc<br> American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP | TSX: MND, OTCQB: MNDJF <br> ISE: IRES<br> TSX: HOT.UN, HOT.U |

Please refer to "*Business of the Meeting – Election of Directors".*

 

**Orientation and Continuing Education**

The Board participated in a number of continuing education sessions during the year, including the topics finance and M&A trends presented by Moelis & Company and Stifel Financial Corp. The CEO and other executives of the Corporation also made presentation on Bitcoin operation and HPC/AI as part of ongoing continuing education. The CEO and Fanny Philip have undertaken specialized training in corporate governance with Governance Partners. The presentations allowed the Board Members to gain knowledge of the Corporation's operations, challenges, and opportunities. In addition, information (such as recent financial statements, annual information form, and various other operating, property and budget reports) is provided to new Board members to ensure that new directors are familiarized with the Corporation's business and the procedures of the Board. Directors also visit and meet with management on a regular basis, and new directors receive a copy of the Corporation's Corporate Governance policies to familiarize themselves with the Corporation's rules and procedures. The Corporation encourages continuing education of its directors and officers, where appropriate, in order to ensure that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to meet their respective obligations towards the Corporation. The Board's continuing education also includes meetings with the Corporation's legal counsel to remain up to date with developments in relevant corporate and securities law matters.

**Ethical Business Conduct**

The Board has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (the "Code of Business Conduct and Ethics") to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct amongst the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the corporation. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Corporation's website at <u>www.bitfarms.com</u>, and copies are available upon written request from the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation at <u>legal@bitfarms.com</u>. The Board is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. There have been no departures therefrom since its adoption.

In addition to the Corporation's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Board has adopted a series of corporate policies which include a <u>Securities Trading Policy</u>, a <u>Disclosure and Confidentiality Policy</u>, an <u>Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy</u>, and a <u>Whistleblower Policy</u>. The Board also relies on director adherence to the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation's governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director's participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest will ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Corporation.

Under corporate legislation, a director is required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. In addition, as some of the directors and proposed directors of the Corporation also serve as directors and officers of other companies engaged in similar business activities, directors must comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the OBCA, as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or officer has a material interest.

Any interested director will be required to declare the nature and extent of his or her interest and will not be entitled to vote at meetings of directors at which matters that give rise to such a conflict of interest are considered.

A copy of the Corporation's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Corporation's website at <u>www.bitfarms.com</u>, and under the Corporation's SEDAR+ profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>. The Corporation believes that it has adopted corporate governance procedures and policies that encourage ethical behaviour by directors, officers and employees.

**Board Committees**

The Board currently has four committees:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Audit Committee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Governance and Nominating Committee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Compensation Committee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Environmental and Social Responsibility Committee.

The members of the Audit Committee are provided in this Circular under the heading "*Audit Committee"* above, and the members of the other committees are provided below. The Board has adopted the Audit Committee Charter, which is attached as Schedule "A" to this Circular. Copies of the charters for the other Board committees are available on the Corporation's website at <u>www.bitfarms.com</u>.

**Governance and Nominating Committee**

The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for: (i) assisting management in developing responsible corporate governance policies and practices for the Corporation; (ii) overseeing adherence to corporate governance rules, policies and principles; (iii) identifying individuals qualified to be nominated as members of the Board; (iv) the structure and composition of Board committees; (v) evaluating the performance and effectiveness of the Board and its committees; and (vi) overseeing compliance with the Corporation's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The current members of the Governance and Nominating Committee are Edith Hofmeister (Chair), Fanny Philip and Amy Freedman.

**Compensation Committee**

The Corporation's Compensation Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Corporation has in place an appropriate plan for executive compensation and for making recommendations with respect to the compensation of the Board and the Corporation's executive officers. The Board ensures that compensation paid to named executive officers (NEOs) and executives is fair, reasonable, and consistent with the Corporation's compensation policies and best practices.

The current members of the Compensation Committee are Fanny Philip (Chair), Amy Freedman and Edith Hofmeister. The strategy of the Compensation Committee is described further in the "*Statement of Executive Compensation"* section above.

**Environmental and Social Responsibility Committee**

The Corporation has recently created an Environmental and Social Responsibility Committee, which is responsible for assisting the Board in overseeing the Corporation's programs, policies and practices relating to health and safety, environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility. The current members of the Environmental and Social Responsibility Committee are Edith Hofmeister (Chair), Fanny Philip, Ben J. Gagnon and Andrew J. Chang (since March 24, 2025).

**Other Board Committees**

The Board has no committees other than those discussed above. The Board may establish additional committees depending on the needs of the Corporation.

**Assessments**

The Board assesses, on an annual basis, the contributions of the Board as a whole and each of the individual directors in order to determine whether each is functioning effectively. The Board satisfies itself that the Board, its committees, and its individual directors are performing effectively through ongoing informal assessments made and discussed at the meetings of the Board. The Board has also implemented a formal evaluation procedure whereby each director is required to fill out a skills and experience matrix pertaining to, among other things, the skills and experience of the director, and the performance of the director and the Board as a whole. The skills and experience matrix allows the Board to identify gaps in experience or skills on the Board and assists the Governance and Nominating Committee in making recommendations to the Board. The Board will also from time to time assess its policies, procedures and guidelines to ensure that they remain current and relevant.

**Board Renewal & Diversity**

The Corporation recognizes the benefits of promoting diversity among its employees, management team and Board of Directors to enhance organisational strength, problem solving ability and opportunity for innovation.

The Corporation is working to put programs in place to improve its representation and retention of women and other underrepresented groups. On February 17, 2022, the Corporation adopted a written corporate diversity policy (the "**Diversity Policy**") that sets out the Corporation's objectives for shaping the composition of its Board, its workforce and management.

The Corporation's current senior management and Board are composed of professionals from varying backgrounds and expertise and were selected on the belief that the Corporation and its stakeholders would benefit from such a broad range of talent and cumulative experience. Management periodically reviews the Corporation's recruitment and selection practices at all levels to ensure they are appropriately structured so that a diverse range of candidates are considered and that there are no conscious or unconscious biases that might discriminate against certain candidates. Management will lead the implementation of the Diversity Policy by regarding it as a key business issue and an essential part of the Corporation's daily business activities. Furthermore, management will annually report to the Board on the number and proportion, in percentage terms, of women in the executive and management teams of the Corporation and in the Board of its subsidiaries. The Corporation will conduct regular reviews of its workforce diversity and take steps to ensure that the diversity and inclusion objectives set out in the Diversity Policy are met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f. The Committee may act by unanimous written consent in lieu
of a meeting.

The Committee shall report to the Board on its activities after each of its meetings. The Committee shall review and assess the adequacy of this Charter annually and, where necessary, recommend changes to the Board for its approval.

| **SECTION 4.** | **SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS** |

---

(a) LIMITATIONS ON SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The aggregate number of Shares issuable under this Plan alone
or when combined with all other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements of the Company shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding
Shares at any point in time. In the event that an Award is exercised, cancelled, repurchased, expires unexercised, or is terminated in
accordance with the Plan, the Shares that were reserved for issuance in connection with such Award will be returned to the pool of available
Awards authorized for issuance under the Plan and will be available for reservation pursuant to a new Award grant under the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained, the
aggregate number of Shares which may be issued to any one Participant, under this Plan alone or when combined with all other Security-Based
Compensation Arrangement of the Company, in any twelve (12) month period shall not exceed five (5%) percent of the issued and outstanding
Shares, calculated as of the Grant Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 4, unless
disinterested shareholder approval is obtained, the number of the Shares: i) issued to Insiders, within any one-year period, and ii)
issuable to Insiders, at any time, under the Plan, or when combined with all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation
Arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares, respectively.

(b) ACCOUNTING FOR AWARDS.

For purposes of this Section 4:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If an Award is denominated in Shares, the number of Shares
covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, shall be counted on the Grant Date of such Award against the aggregate number
of Shares available for granting Awards under this Plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Shares
related to Awards which terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance of such Shares, are settled
in cash in lieu of Shares, or are exchanged with the Board's permission, prior to the issuance of Shares, for Awards not involving
Shares, shall be available again for granting Awards under this Plan.

(c) ANTI-DILUTION. If the number
of outstanding Shares is increased or decreased as a result of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger,
amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation, reclassification, spin-off or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of the
Company's assets to shareholders, or any other change in the capital of the Company affecting the Shares, the Board will make appropriate
proportionate adjustments, if any, in accordance with the terms of this Plan, the policies of the Exchange, and applicable laws, to the
number and price (or other basis upon which an Award is measured) of Restricted Share Units, Performance Share Units, Deferred Share
Units and/or Options credited to a Participant. Any additional Awards credited to a Participant in lieu of dividends declared by the
Company based on Awards held by the Participant will be included in calculating the limits enumerated in Section 4(a) of the Plan. If
such additional Awards result in the Company breaching any of the limits in Section 4(a) of the Plan, the Company shall settle
such Awards in cash on the basis of the difference between the price the Participant is required to pay to exercise the Award, if any,
and the Current Market Price. Such cash settlement shall only be to the extent that the additional Awards granted in lieu of dividends
declared by the Company do not breach the limits enumerated in Section 4(a). Any determinations by the Board as to appropriate adjustments,
if any, shall be made in its sole discretion and all such determinations and adjustments shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes
under this Plan.

(d) FORMER PLAN. From and after the Effective Date, the Former
Plan shall be cancelled and deemed to be cancelled, and all awards granted thereunder shall be governed and deemed to be governed by
the provisions of this Plan as existing Awards under this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION.
Subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe, the Board may, from time to time,
grant Awards of Restricted Share Units to Eligible Persons. Restricted Share Units granted to a Participant shall be credited, as of
the Grant Date, to the Participant's Account. The number of Restricted Share Units to be credited to each Participant shall be determined

restrictions, represent one (1) Share. The number of Restricted Share Units granted pursuant to an Award and the Restriction Period
in respect of such Restricted Share Units shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreement. The form of Restricted Share Unit Award
Agreement is attached hereto as Schedule "A". The Company reserves the right to use such other form of Restricted Share Unit
Award Agreement as the Company may determine in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) RESTRICTIONS. Restricted Share Units shall be subject to
such restrictions as the Board, in its sole discretion, may establish in the applicable Award Agreement, which restrictions may lapse
separately or in combination at such time or times and on such terms, conditions and satisfaction of objectives as the Board may, in
its discretion, determine at the time an Award is granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) VESTING. All Restricted Share Units will vest and become
payable by the issuance of Shares at the end of the Restriction Period if all applicable restrictions have lapsed, as such restrictions
may be specified in the Award Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event a Participant that was granted
Restricted Share Units ceases to be an Eligible Person during the 12-month period following a Change of Control due to the Company terminating
the Participant's service to the Company without cause, or pursuant to a Constructive Dismissal, all restrictions upon any Restricted
Share Units held by such Participant shall lapse immediately and all such Restricted Share Units shall become fully vested in the Participant
and will accrue to the Participant in accordance with Section 5(a)(ix) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) DEATH. Other than as may be set forth in the applicable Award
Agreement, upon the death of a Participant, any Restricted Share Units granted to such Participant which, prior to the Participant's

by the Participant, all Restricted Share Units granted to the Participant under this Plan that have not vested will, unless the applicable
Award Agreement provides otherwise and subject to the provisions below, immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled
and shall be of no further force or effect as of the Termination Date, provided, however, that any Restricted Share Units granted to
such Participant which, prior to the Participant's termination without cause, voluntary termination or Retirement, had vested pursuant
to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement will accrue to the Participant in accordance with Section 5(a)(ix) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Upon termination of a Participant's employment with the Company

of Restricted Share Units under this Plan shall cease as of the Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) DISABILITY. Where, in the case of Key Employees or Consultants,
a Participant becomes afflicted by a Disability, all Restricted Share Units granted to the Participant under this Plan will continue

the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise and subject to the provisions below, immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited
and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect as of the Termination Date, provided, however, that any Restricted Share Units
granted to such Participant which, prior to the Participant's termination due to Disability, had vested pursuant to terms of the applicable
Award Agreement will accrue to the Participant in accordance with Section 5(a)(ix) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) CESSATION OF DIRECTORSHIP. Where, in the case of Directors,

any Restricted Share Units granted to such Participant which, prior to the Cessation Date for any reason, had vested pursuant to the
terms of the applicable Award Agreement will accrue to the Participant in accordance with Section 5(a)(ix) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) PAYMENT OF AWARD. As soon as practicable after each Vesting
Date of an Award of Restricted Share Units and in any event within 10 Business Days following the Vesting Date and no later than December
31 of the calendar year which is three (3) years after the calendar year in which the Restricted Share Units are granted, and subject
to the applicable Award Agreement which in no case shall provide that such Restricted Share Units expire in a period greater than 12
months from the Termination Date, the Restricted Share Units shall be settled in either cash or Shares, as the Company may so determine,
unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. the Company shall issue from treasury to the Participant,
or if Section 5(a)(v) applies, to the Participant's estate, a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Share Units credited
to the Participant's Account that become payable on the Vesting Date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. a cash payment in an amount equal to the Current Market Price
on the trading date prior to the Vesting Date multiplied by the quantity of Restricted Share Units credited to a Participant's Account,
and certified funds shall be paid for the Restricted Stock Units, net of applicable withholdings.

Where the Vesting Date of a Restricted Share Unit occurs during a Blackout Period, the settlement period for such Restricted Share Unit shall be extended to the date that is 10 Business Days following the end of such Blackout Period.

As of the Vesting Date, the Restricted Share Units in respect of which such Shares are issued shall be cancelled and no further payments shall be made to the Participant under this Plan in relation to such Restricted Share Units.

**(b)**  **<u>PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION. Subject to the provisions
of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe, the Board may, from time to time, grant Awards of Performance
Share Units to Eligible Persons. Performance Share Units granted to a Participant shall be credited, as of the Grant Date, to the Participant's
Account. The number of Performance Share Units to be credited to each Participant shall be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion,
in accordance with this Plan. Each Performance Share Unit shall, contingent upon the attainment of the Performance Criteria within the
Performance Cycle, represent one (1) Share, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement. The number of Performance Share
Units granted pursuant to an Award, the Performance Criteria which must be satisfied in order for the Performance Share Units to vest
and the Performance Cycle in respect of such Performance Share Units shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreement. The form of
Performance Share Unit Award Agreement is attached hereto as Schedule "B". The Company reserves the right to use such other
form of Performance Share Unit Award Agreement as the Company may determine in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) PERFORMANCE CRITERIA. The Board will select, settle and determine
the Performance Criteria (including without limitation the attainment thereof), for purposes of the vesting of the Performance Share
Units, in its sole discretion. An Award Agreement may provide the Board with the right, during a Performance Cycle or after it has ended,
to revise the Performance Criteria and the Award amounts if unforeseen events (including, without limitation, changes in capitalization,
an equity restructuring, an acquisition or a divestiture) occur which have a substantial effect on the financial results and which in
the sole judgment of the Board make the application of the original Performance Criteria unfair or inappropriate unless a revision is
made. Notices will be provided by the Company to applicable regulatory authorities or stock exchanges as may be required with respect
to the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) VESTING. All Performance Share Units will vest and become
payable to the extent that the Performance Criteria set forth in the Award Agreement are satisfied for the Performance Cycle, at a time
no earlier than the Restriction Period, the determination of the satisfaction of which shall be made by the Board on the Determination
Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event
a Participant that was granted Performance Share Units ceases to be an Eligible Person during the 12-month period following a Change
of Control due to the Company terminating the Participant's service to the Company without cause, or pursuant to a Constructive
Dismissal, all Performance Criteria applicable to such Performance Share Units and any other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved
at 100% of target levels, all other terms and conditions will be deemed met, and such Performance Share Units shall become fully
vested in such Participant and shall become payable to the Participant in accordance with Section 5(b)(viii) hereof, provided that the
Performance Cycle for all such Performance Share Units shall be deemed to have ended on the date the Participant ceased to be an Eligible
Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) DEATH. Other than as may be set forth in the applicable Award
Agreement and below, upon the death of a Participant, all Performance Share Units granted to the Participant which, prior to the Participant's
death, have not vested, will immediately and automatically be forfeited and cancelled without further action and without any cost or
payment, and the Participant or his or her estate, as the case may be, shall have no right, title or interest therein whatsoever, provided,
however, the Board may determine, in its sole discretion, the number of the Participant's Performance Share Units that will vest based
on the extent to which the applicable Performance Criteria set forth in the Award Agreement have been satisfied in that portion of the
Performance Cycle that has lapsed. The Performance Share Units that the Board determines to have vested shall become payable in accordance
with Section 5(b)(viii) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Where, in the case of Key Employees or Consultants, a Participant's
employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for cause, or consulting contract, subject to the applicable Award Agreement,
is terminated as a result of the Consultant's breach, all Performance Share Units granted to the Participant under this Plan will
immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect as of the Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Where, in the case of Key Employees or Consultants, other
than as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and below, a Participant's employment or consulting contract is terminated
by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause, by voluntary termination or due to Retirement, all Performance Share Units granted to the
Participant which, prior to the Participant's termination without cause, by voluntary termination or due to Retirement, have not vested,
will immediately and automatically be forfeited and cancelled without further action and without any cost or payment, and the Participant
shall have no right, title or interest therein whatsoever as of the Termination Date, provided, however, the Board may determine, in
its sole discretion, the number of the Participant's Performance Share Units that will vest based on the extent to which the applicable
Performance Criteria set forth in the Award Agreement have been satisfied in that portion of the Performance Cycle that has lapsed. The
Performance Share Units that the Board determines to have vested shall become payable in accordance with Section 5(b)(viii) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. In the case of Key Employees, upon termination of a Participant's
employment with the Company or a Subsidiary, the Participant's eligibility to receive further grants of Awards of Performance Share Units
under this Plan shall cease as of the Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) DISABILITY. Where, in the case
of Key Employees or Consultants, a Participant becomes afflicted by a Disability, all Performance Share Units granted to the Participant
under this Plan will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of such Performance Share Units, provided, however, that no Performance
Share Units may be redeemed during a leave of absence. Where, in the case of Key Employees or Consultants, a Participant's employment
or consulting contract is terminated due to Disability, all Performance Share Units granted to the Participant under this Plan that have
not vested will, unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise and subject to the provisions below, immediately and automatically
be forfeited and cancelled without further action and without any cost or payment, and the Participant shall have no right, title or
interest therein whatsoever as of the Termination Date, provided, however, that the Board may determine, in its sole discretion, the
number of the Participant's Performance Share Units that will vest based on the extent to which the applicable Performance Criteria set
forth in the Award Agreement have been satisfied in that portion of the Performance Cycle that has lapsed. The Performance Share
Units that the Board determines to have vested shall become payable in accordance with Section 5(b)(viii) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) PAYMENT OF AWARD. Subject to the applicable Award Agreement,
which in no case shall provide that such Performance Share Units expire in a period greater than 12 months from the Termination Date,
payment to Participants in respect of vested Performance Share Units shall be made after the Determination Date for the applicable Award
and in any case within ninety (90) days after the last day of the Performance Cycle to which such Award relates. Such payments shall
be made entirely in Shares, unless otherwise provided for in the applicable Award Agreement. The Company shall issue from treasury to
the Participant, or if Section 5(b)(v) applies, to the Participant's estate, a number of Shares equal to the number of Performance Share
Units that have vested. As of the Vesting Date, the Performance Share Units in respect of which such Shares are issued shall be cancelled
and no further payments shall be made to the Participant under this Plan in relation to such Performance Share Units.

**(c)**  **<u>DEFERRED SHARE UNITS</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION. Subject to the provisions
of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe, the Board may, from time to time, grant Awards of Deferred
Share Units to Directors. Directors become Participants effective as of the date he or she is first appointed or elected as a Director
and cease to be Participants on the Cessation Date for any reason. Deferred Share Units granted to a Participant in accordance with Section
5(c) hereof shall be credited, as of the Grant Date, to the Participant's Account. The form of Deferred Share Unit Award Agreement is
attached hereto as Schedule "C". The Company reserves the right to use such other form of Deferred Share Unit Award Agreement
as the Company may determine in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) ELECTION. Each Director may elect to receive any part or
all of his or her Fees and/or Awards, as applicable, in Deferred Share Units under this Plan. Elections by Participants regarding the
amount of their Awards that they wish to receive in Deferred Share Units shall be made no later than 90 days after this Plan is adopted
by the Board, and thereafter no later than December 31 of any given year with respect to Awards for the following year. Any Director
who becomes a Participant during a fiscal year and wishes to receive an amount of his or her Awards for the remainder of that year in
Deferred Share Units must make his or her election within 60 days of becoming a Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) CALCULATION. The number of Deferred Share Units to be credited
to the Participant's Account shall be calculated by dividing the amount of Fees selected by a Director in the applicable Election Form
by the Current Market Price on the Grant Date, or if more appropriate, another trading range that best represents the period for which
the award was earned (or such other price as required under Exchange policies). If, as a result of the foregoing calculation, a Participant
shall become entitled to a fractional Deferred Share Unit, the Participant shall only be credited with a full number of Deferred Share
Units (rounded down) and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional Deferred Share Unit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) PAYMENT OF AWARD. Each Participant shall be entitled to receive,
after the effective date that the Participant ceases to be a Director for any reason or any earlier vesting period(s) as may be set forth
in the applicable Award Agreement and following the end of the Restriction Period, by providing written notice of settlement to the Company
setting out: (a) whether the Deferred Share Units will be settled in cash or Shares, and (b) if applicable, the particulars regarding
the registration of the Shares issuable on settlement, and if no such notice is given, then on the first anniversary of the Cessation
Date or any earlier period on which the DSUs vested, as the case may be, at the sole discretion of the Participant, either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. that number of Shares equal to the number of Deferred Share
Units credited to the Participant's Account, such Shares to be issued from treasury of the Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. a cash payment in an amount equal to the Current Market Price
on the Cessation Date multiplied by the quantity of Deferred Share Units credited to a Participant's Account, net of applicable withholdings.

For greater certainty, any vesting period as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement that is earlier than the date the Participant ceases to be a Director, must be no less than twelve (12) months following the date the Deferred Share Unit is granted to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) EXCEPTION. In the event that the value of a Deferred Share
Unit would be determined with reference to a period commencing at a fiscal quarter-end of the Company and ending prior to the public
disclosure of interim financial statements for the quarter (or annual financial statements in the case of the fourth quarter), the cash
payment of the value of the Units will be made to the Participant with reference to the five (5) Trading Days immediately following the
public disclosure of the interim financial statements for that quarter (or annual financial statements in the case of the fourth quarter).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) DEATH. Upon death of a Participant, the Participant's estate
shall be entitled to receive, within 120 days after the Participant's death and at the sole discretion of the Board, a cash payment or
Shares that would have otherwise been payable in accordance with Section 5(c)(iv) hereof to the Participant upon such Participant ceasing
to be a Director.

**(d)**  **<u>OPTIONS</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION. Subject to the provisions
of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Board may determine, the Board may, from time to time, in its discretion, grant
Awards of Options to Eligible Persons. Options granted to a Participant shall be credited, as of the Grant Date, to the Participant's
Account. The number of Options to be credited to each Participant shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion in accordance
with this Plan. The form Option Award Agreement is attached hereto as Schedule "D". The Company reserves the right to use
such other form of Option Award Agreement as the Company may determine in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of the Options shall be
determined by the Board at the time the Option is granted and shall not be lower than the Current Market Price on the Grant Date. The
Board shall not reprice any Options previously granted under this Plan, except in accordance with the rules and policies of the Exchange.
For greater certainty, the Company will be required to obtain Disinterested Shareholder Approval in respect of any reduction in the exercise
price of Options, or the extension of the term of an Option, granted to any Participant if the Participant is an Insider at the time
of the proposed reduction or extension, if and to the extent required by the rules and policies of the Exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) TIME AND CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE. The Board shall determine
the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, provided that the term of any Option granted under this Plan
shall not exceed ten years. The Board shall also determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before
all or part of an Option may be exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) EVIDENCE OF GRANT. All Options shall be evidenced by a written
Award Agreement. The Award Agreement shall reflect the Board's determinations regarding the exercise price, time and conditions of exercise
(including vesting provisions) and such additional provisions as may be specified by the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) EXERCISE. The exercise of any Option will be contingent upon
receipt by the Company of a written notice of exercise in the manner and in the form set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, which
written notice shall specify the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and which shall be accompanied
by a cash payment, certified cheque or bank draft for the full purchase price of such Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised.
Certificates for such Shares shall be issued and delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time following the receipt of such
notice and payment. Neither the Participants nor their legal
representatives, legatees or distributees will be, or will be deemed to be, a holder of any Shares unless and until the certificates for
the Shares issuable pursuant to Options under this Plan are issued to such Participants under the terms of this Plan. Where the expiry
date for an Option occurs during a Blackout Period, the expiry date for such Option shall be extended to the date that is 10 business
days following the end of such Blackout Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event a Participant that was granted
Options ceases to be an Eligible Person during the 12-month period following a Change of Control due to the Company terminating the Participant's
service to the Company without cause, or pursuant to a Constructive dismissal, each outstanding Option issued to such Participant, to
the extent that it shall not otherwise have become vested and exercisable, and subject to the applicable Award Agreement, shall automatically
become fully and immediately vested and exercisable, without regard to any otherwise applicable vesting requirement, and may be exercised
or surrendered in accordance with this Section 5(d) at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of the relevant Option's
expiry date and the 90<sup>th</sup> day after such Participant ceased to be an Eligible Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) DEATH. Where a Participant shall die, any Option held by
such Participant at the date of death shall be exercisable in whole or in part only by the person or persons to whom the rights of the
Participant under the Option shall pass by the will of the Participant or the laws of descent and distribution for a period of 120 days
after the date of death of the Participant or prior to the expiration of the option period in respect of the Option, whichever is sooner,
and then only to the extent that such Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death of such Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Where, in the case of Key Employees or Consultants, a Participant's
employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for cause, or consulting contract, subject to the applicable Award Agreement,
is terminated as a result of the Consultant's breach, no Option held by such Participant shall be exercisable from the Termination
Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Where, in the case of Key Employees or Consultants, a Participant's
employment or consulting contract is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause, by voluntary termination by the Participant
or due to Retirement, subject to the applicable Award Agreement, any Option held by such Participant at such time shall remain exercisable
in full at any time, and in part from time to time, for a period of 60 days after the Termination Date (subject to any longer period
set out in the applicable Award Agreement, which period shall not, in any event, exceed 12 months from the Termination Date) or prior
to the expiration of the option period in respect of the Option, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such Participant
was entitled to exercise the Option at the Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Where, in the case of Key Employees or Consultants, a Participant
becomes afflicted by a Disability, all Options granted to the Participant under this Plan will continue to vest in accordance with the
terms of such Options. Where, in the case of Key Employees or Consultants, a Participant's employment or consulting contract is terminated
due to Disability, subject to the applicable Award Agreement, any Option held by such Participant shall remain exercisable for a period
of 120 days after the Termination Date (subject to any longer period set out in the applicable Award Agreement, which period shall not,
in any event, exceed 12 months from the Termination Date) or prior to the expiration of the option period in respect of the Option, whichever
is sooner, and then only to the extent that such Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) CESSATION OF DIRECTORSHIP.
Where, in the case of Directors, a Participant ceases to be a Director for any reason, subject to the applicable Award Agreement and
the provisions below, any Option held by such Participant at such time shall remain exercisable in full at any time, and in part
from time to time, for a period of 60 days after the Cessation Date (subject to any longer period set out in the applicable Award Agreement,
which period shall not, in any event, exceed 12 months from the Participant ceasing to be a Director) or prior to the expiration of the
Option in respect of the Option, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such Participant was entitled to exercise the
Option as of the Cessation Date. Where, in the case of Directors, a Participant becomes afflicted by a disability, all Options granted
to the Participant under this Plan will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of such Options, provided that if a Participant
ceases to be a Director due to Disability, subject to the applicable Award Agreement, any Option held by such Participant shall remain
exercisable for a period of 120 days after the Cessation Date (subject to any longer period set out in the applicable Award Agreement,
which period shall not, in any event, exceed 12 months from the Cessation Date) or prior to the expiration of the option period in respect
of the Option, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such Participant was entitled to exercise the Option as of the Cessation
Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) NET EXERCISE. In lieu of the exercise price of each Share
underlying an Option being paid in cash, the Option may be exercised, at the discretion of the Option holder and only with the written
permission of the Board and as permitted by the policies of the Exchange, by a "**Net Exercise** ", whereby the Option
holder will receive only the number of Shares underlying the Option that is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. the product of the number of Options being exercised multiplied
by the difference between the VWAP of the underlying Shares and the exercise price of the subject Options by

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. the VWAP of the underlying Shares.

In the event of a Net Exercise, the number of Options exercised, surrendered or converted, and not the number of Shares actually issued, must be included in calculating the limits set forth in Section 4 of the Plan, and must otherwise comply with the rules of the Exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) CASHLESS EXERCISE. In lieu of the exercise price of each
Share underlying an Option being paid in cash, the Option may be exercised, except Options granted to persons performing Investor Relations
Activities, at the discretion of the Option holder and only with the written permission of the Board and as permitted by the policies
of the Exchange, by a "**Cashless Exercise**" whereby the Option holder will may elect for a broker-assisted cashless
exercise and shall receive:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. an amount in cash equal to the cash proceeds realized upon
the sale in the capital markets of the Shares underlying the Option (or portion thereof being exercised) by a securities dealer designated
by the Company, less the aggregate exercise price, any applicable withholding taxes, and any transfer costs charged by the securities
dealer to sell the Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. an aggregate number of Shares that is equal to the number
of Shares underlying the Option (or portion thereof being exercised) minus the number of Shares sold in the capital markets by a securities
dealer designated by the Company as required to realize cash proceeds equal to the aggregate exercise price, any applicable withholding
taxes and any transfer costs charged by the securities dealer to sell the Shares; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. a combination of Section 5(d)(xi)(A) and 5(d)(xi)(B).

In the event of a Cashless Exercise, the number of Options exercised, surrendered or converted, and not the number of Shares actually issued, must be included in calculating the limits set forth in Section 4 of the Plan, and must otherwise comply with the rules of the Exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) SURRENDER OF OPTION FOR CASH. In lieu of the exercise price
of each Share underlying an Option being paid in cash, an Option holder may elect to surrender for cancellation, unexercised, any vested
Option that is otherwise then exercisable and, in consideration for such surrender for cancellation, to receive a cash payment in an
amount equal to the positive difference, if any, obtained by subtracting the aggregate Exercise Price of the surrendered Option from
the then current Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the surrendered Option, less Applicable Withholding Taxes. The Board has
the sole discretion to consent to or disapprove of the election of the Option holder to surrender any vested Option pursuant to this
Section 5(d)(xii). If the Board disapproves of the election, the Option holder may (i) exercise the Option under this Section 5(d), or
(ii) retract the request to surrender such Option and retain the Option. If the Board consents to the election, the Company shall make
the cash payment to the Option holder in respect of the surrendered Option within 30 days. Any cash payment in accordance with this Section
5(d)(xii) shall be payable in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise agreed by the Board and the Option holder.

Section (5)(e), Awards may, in the discretion of the Board, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution

granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards, or in addition to or in tandem with awards granted under any other Security-Based
Compensation Arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary, may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the
grant of such other Awards or awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. No Award and no right under
any such Award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. No Award and no right under any such Award, may be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any purported
pledge, alienation, attachment, or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. The Company does not intend
to make Awards assignable or transferrable, except where required by law or in certain estate proceedings described herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
UPON SECURITIES SUBJECT TO AWARDS. The Board may provide that the Shares issued under an Award shall be subject to such further
agreements, restrictions, conditions or limitations as the Board in its sole discretion may specify, including without limitation, conditions

Award. Without limiting the foregoing, such restrictions may address the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other
subsequent transfers by the Participant of any Shares issued under an Award, including without limitation: (A) restrictions under an
insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable law; (B) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales

Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of any securities commission, the Exchange, and any applicable securities legislation,
regulations, rules, policies or orders, and the Board may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) CONFORMITY TO PLAN. In the event that an Award is granted
which does not conform in all particulars with the provisions of this Plan, or purports to grant an Award on terms different from those
set out in this Plan, the Award shall not be in any way void or invalidated, but the Award shall be adjusted by the Board to become,
in all respects, in conformity with this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) DIVDEND EQUIVALENTS. At the discretion of the Board, each
RSU, DSU and PSU (representing one Share) may be credited with cash and stock dividends paid by the Company in respect of one Share ()"**Dividend Equivalents** "). Dividend Equivalents will be deemed re-invested in additional RSUs, DSUs, or PSUs, as the case may be, based
on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the applicable dividend payment date and rounded down to the nearest whole share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) ACCELERATION. The Board may elect, at any time, to accelerate
the vesting schedule of one or more Awards, including, without limitation, on a Triggering Event, and such acceleration will not be considered
to be an amendment to the Award in question requiring the consent of the Participant under Section 6(c) of this Plan.

(f) <u>GENERAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) PERFORMANCE EVALUATION; ADJUSTMENT OF GOALS. At the time

at any time, and from time to time, may amend or suspend any provision of an Award or the Plan, or terminate the Plan, subject to those
provisions of Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies of the Exchange), if any, that require
the approval of security holders or any governmental or regulatory body regardless of whether any such amendment or suspension is material,
fundamental or otherwise, and notwithstanding any rule of common law or equity to the contrary.

the generality of the foregoing, the Board may make the following types of amendments to this Plan or any Awards without seeking security
holder approval:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) amendments of a "housekeeping" or administrative

any provision of this Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of this Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) amendments necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable

under this Plan, other than pursuant to Section 4(c);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any amendment to this Plan that increases the length of the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any amendment that would result in the Exercise Price for

|:---|:---|
| **SECTION 7.** | **GENERAL PROVISIONS** |

---

(a) NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS. No Director, Key Employee, Consultant
or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under this Plan, or, having been selected to receive an Award under this
Plan, to be selected to receive a future Award, and further there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Directors, Key Employees,
Consultant or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under this Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect
to each recipient.

(b) WITHHOLDING. The Company shall be authorized to withhold
from any Award granted or any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under this Plan the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities,
or other Awards) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under such Award or under
this Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy statutory withholding obligations
for the payment of such taxes. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, whenever cash is to be paid on the redemption,
exercise or vesting of an Award, the Company shall have the right to deduct from all cash payments made to a Participant any taxes required
by law to be withheld with respect to such payments. Whenever Shares are to be delivered on the redemption, exercise or vesting of an
Award, the Company shall have the right to deduct from any other amounts payable to the Participant any taxes required by law to be withheld
with respect to such delivery of Shares, or if any payment due to the Participant is not sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation,
to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes required by law to be withheld.
At the sole discretion of the Board, a Participant may be permitted to satisfy the foregoing requirement by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) electing to have the Company withhold from delivery Shares
having a value equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable
direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or a portion of the Shares and to deliver to the Company from the
sales proceeds an amount sufficient to pay the required withholding taxes.

(c) NO LIMIT ON OTHER SECURITY-BASED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS.
Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company or a Subsidiary
from adopting or continuing in effect other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable
or applicable only in specific cases.

(d) NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. The grant of an Award shall not constitute
an employment contract nor be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company. Further, the Company
may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability, or any claim under this Plan, unless otherwise expressly
provided in this Plan or in any Award Agreement.

(e) NO RIGHT AS SHAREHOLDER. Neither the Participant nor any
representatives of a Participant's estate shall have any rights whatsoever as Shareholders in respect of any Shares covered by such Participant's
Award, until the date of issuance of a share certificate to such Participant or representatives of a Participant's estate for such Shares.

(f) GOVERNING LAW. This Plan and all of the rights and obligations
arising herefrom shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada
applicable therein.

(g) SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Plan or any Award
is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify
this Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Board, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to
applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board, materially altering the
intent of this Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person, or Award, and the remainder of this
Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(h) NO TRUST OR FUND CREATED. Neither this Plan nor any Award
shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant
or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right
shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor of the Company.

(i) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Shares shall be issued
or delivered pursuant to this Plan or any Award, and the Board shall determine whether cash, or other securities shall be paid or transferred
in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated, or otherwise
eliminated.

(j) HEADINGS. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections
of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the
construction or interpretation of this Plan or any provision thereof.

(k) NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY. The Company makes no representation
or warranty as to the value of any Award granted pursuant to this Plan or as to the future value of any Shares issued pursuant to any
Award.

(l) NO REPRESENTATIONS OR COVENANTS WITH RESPECT TO TAX QUALIFICATION.
Although the Company may, in its discretion, endeavor to (i)
qualify an Award for favourable tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment, the Company makes no representation to that effect
and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment. The Company shall be unconstrained in its
corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on holders of Awards under this Plan.

(m) CONFLICT WITH AWARD AGREEMENT. In the event of any inconsistency
or conflict between the provisions of this Plan and an Award Agreement, the provisions of this Plan shall govern for all purposes.

(n) COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The granting of Awards and the issuance
of Shares under this Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental
agencies or stock exchanges on which the Company is listed as may be required. The Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver
evidence of title for Shares issued under this Plan prior to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the
Company determines are necessary or advisable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) completion of any registration or other qualification of
the Shares under any applicable national or foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary
or advisable or at a time when any such registration or qualification is not current, has been suspended or otherwise has ceased to be
effective.

The inability or impracticability of the Company to obtain or maintain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

(o) EQUITY PLAN MANAGEMENT PORTAL. Any Awards granted or issued
under this Plan shall be permitted to be exercisable through a platform, system, portal or such other program that permits the exercise
of Awards that the Company may adopt from time to time, to the extent that such a platform, system, portal or program is made available
by the Company to Participants.
