(1) The Company hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Underwriters and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, agents and shareholders (collectively, the "**Indemnified Parties**" and individually, an "**Indemnified Party**") from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, liabilities or expenses of whatsoever nature or kind (excluding loss of profits or other consequential damages), including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings, investigations or claims and the reasonable fees, disbursements and taxes of their counsel in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim that is made or threatened against any Indemnified Party or in enforcing their rights under this Section 9 (each, a "**Claim**" and collectively, the "**Claims**") to which an Indemnified Party becomes subject or otherwise involved in any capacity insofar as the Claims relate to, are caused by, result from, arise out of, are based upon or are a consequence of, directly or indirectly:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) (i) any information or statement contained in any Offering Document which at the time and in light of the circumstances under which it was made contains or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in an Offering Document, in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or (B) in any Marketing Documents, or (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Offering Document, in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the U.S. Securities Act or in any Marketing Documents, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent such liabilities, claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses arise out of or are based upon any such misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation, untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Lead Underwriter expressly for use therein;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any omission or alleged omission to state (A) in an Offering Document, in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the U.S. Securities Act or (B) in any Marketing Documents, any material fact required to be stated in such document or necessary to make any statement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in such document not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent such liabilities, claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses arise out of or are based upon any such omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Lead Underwriter expressly for use therein;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any order made or any enquiry, investigation or proceedings commenced or threatened by any securities commission or other competent authority based upon any actual or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make any statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made or any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation contained in or omitted from (A) any Offering Document, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the U.S. Securities Act or (B) any Marketing Documents, preventing or restricting the trading in or the sale or distribution of the Offered Shares; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent such order made or any enquiry, investigation or proceedings arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Lead Underwriter expressly for use therein;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the non-compliance or alleged non-compliance by the Company with any requirement of Applicable Securities Laws relating to or connected with the Distribution of the Offered Shares; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations to be complied with under this Agreement,

and to reimburse each Indemnified Party forthwith, upon demand, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any Claim; except that, if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgement that has become non-appealable determines that a Claim was caused by or resulted from an Indemnified Party's breach of this Agreement or breach of applicable laws, or the fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct of the Indemnified Party claiming indemnity, such Indemnified Party shall reimburse any funds advanced by the Company to such Indemnified Party in respect of such Claim and thereafter this Section 9(1) shall cease to apply to such Indemnified Party in respect of such Claim. Without limiting any of the rights of an Indemnified Party under this Section 9, following demand by an Indemnified Party for payment by the Company of any such legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any Claim, if the Company fails to pay to such Indemnified Party in full such legal or other expenses within sixty days, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle any such ongoing Claims without consent of the Company, subject to applicable laws.

(2) The Company agrees to waive any right they may have of first requiring the Indemnified Parties to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or claim payment from any other Person before claiming under this Section 9.

(3) Promptly after receiving notice of an action, suit, proceeding or claim against an Indemnified Party or receipt of notice of the commencement of any investigation which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Company, such Indemnified Party will notify the Company and the Underwriters in writing of the particulars thereof, provided that the omission to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any liability which the Company may have to any Indemnified Party except and only to the extent that any such delay in or failure to give notice as herein required materially prejudices the Company's substantive rights or the defense of such action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation or results in any material increase in the liability which the Company has under this Section 9. The Company may at its election and at its own expense, assume the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 9, provided, however, that the defence shall be conducted through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably. If the Company undertakes, conducts and controls the settlement or defence of any action, suit, proceeding or claim, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or defence of same. Any Indemnified Party may retain counsel of its own choice to separately represent it in the defence of a Claim, which shall be at the expense of the Company if: (i) the Company does not promptly (or in any event, within ten days of notice thereof) assume the defence of the Claim; (ii) the Company agrees to separate representation; or (iii) such Indemnified Party is advised by counsel in writing that there is an actual or potential conflict in the Company's or such Indemnified Party's respective interests or additional defences are available to such Indemnified Party such that representation by the same counsel would be inappropriate. The Company will not, without the Indemnified Party's and the Underwriters' prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned of delayed), settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 9 (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto).

------

(4) If for any reason the foregoing indemnification under this Section 9 is unavailable (other than in accordance with the terms of this Section 9) to the Indemnified Parties (or any of them) or insufficient to hold them harmless, the Company will contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Indemnified Parties on the other, but also the relative fault of the parties and other equitable considerations which may be relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will in any event, to the extent permitted by applicable law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claims any amount in excess of the Underwriting Fee actually received by the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

(5) The Company hereby acknowledges that each of the Underwriters acts as trustee for each of the other Indemnified Parties related thereto of the Company's covenants and obligations under this Section 9 to such Persons and each of the Underwriters agrees to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants and obligations on behalf of such Persons.

(6) The Company agrees that, in the event that the Company is held to be entitled to contribution from any Indemnified Party under the provisions of any statute or at law, such contribution shall be limited to an amount not exceeding the lesser of: (a) the portion of the full amount of the loss or liability giving rise to such contribution for which such Indemnified Party is responsible; and (b) the amount of the fees actually received by such Indemnified Party from the Company.

(7) The Company agrees that, in any event, no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (either direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or any Person asserting claims on any Company's behalf or in right for or in connection with the performance of professional services rendered by the Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, whether performed before or after the execution of this Agreement, or otherwise in connection with the matters referred to in this Agreement, except to the extent that any losses, expenses, claims, actions, damages or liabilities incurred by the Company are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgement that has become non-appealable to have resulted from the breach of this Agreement or breach of applicable laws by, or the fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct of, such Indemnified Party.

(8) The indemnity, contribution and other obligations and agreements of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any liability which the Company may otherwise have at law or in equity, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to all of the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company and the Indemnified Parties. The foregoing provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the completion of the Offering.

------

(1) The Company covenants and agrees with the Underwriters that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the issuance by any Canadian Securities Commission, the SEC, the TSX or the NYSE of any order having the effect of ceasing or suspending the Distribution of the Common Shares or the trading in any securities of the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any requests made by any Canadian Securities Commission or the SEC for amending or supplementing any of the Offering Documents or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information;

and the Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order referred to in subparagraph (b)(i) above or subparagraph (b)(ii) above and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the conditional listing of the Offered Shares on the TSX by the Closing Time, subject only to the Standard Listing Conditions, and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to have the Offered Shares listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the NYSE by the Closing Time, subject only to the official notice of issuance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 18 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the U.S. Securities Act), the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Lead Underwriter an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the U.S. Securities Act and Rule 158 under the U.S. Securities Act; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Company will use the net proceeds from the Offering as described in, and subject to the qualifications set out in, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectuses.

(2) Prior to the completion of the Distribution of the Offered Shares, the Company will file all documents required to be filed with or furnished to the Canadian Securities Commissions and the SEC pursuant to Applicable Securities Laws.

------

(3) The Company agrees not to issue any Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares for a period of 90 days from the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Lead Underwriter, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, except in conjunction with (i) the grant or exercise or vesting of stock options, restricted share units, deferred share units and other similar issuances pursuant to the equity incentive plans of the Company and other stock-based compensation arrangements including, for greater certainty the sale of any shares issued thereunder; (ii) the exercise or conversion of outstanding convertible securities; and (iii) any obligations in respect of existing agreements or as otherwise previously publicly announced by the Company, which for certainty does not include the Company's previously announced at-the-market program.

(4) The Company will cause each of its executive officers and directors to enter into a lock-up agreement to be executed concurrently with the closing of the Offering, that for a period of 90 days from the Closing Date, each will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of, or transfer, or announce any intention to do so, any Common Shares, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, directly or indirectly, or under their control or direction, or with respect to which each has beneficial ownership, or enter into any transaction or arrangement that has the effect of transferring, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Shares, whether such transaction is settled by the delivery of Common Shares, other securities, cash or otherwise other than pursuant to a take-over bid or any other similar transaction made generally to all of the shareholders of the Company, for tax purposes to the Company in connection with the vesting or exercise of stock options or other incentive plan securities, or with the consent of the Underwriters, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

**Section 11 All Terms to be Conditions**

The Company agrees that the conditions contained in this Agreement will be complied with insofar as the same relate to acts to be performed or caused to be performed by the Company. It is understood that the Underwriters may waive, in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to the rights of the Underwriters in respect of any such terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on the Underwriters any such waiver or extension must be in writing and signed by the Underwriters.

**Section 12 Termination by Underwriters**

(1) Each Underwriter shall also be entitled to terminate its obligation to purchase the Offered Shares by written notice to that effect to the Company and the Lead Underwriter, at or prior to the Closing Time or the Option Closing Time, as applicable, if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) there shall be any material change or change in a material fact, or there should be discovered any previously undisclosed material fact required to be disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus Supplements, or any amendment thereto, in each case which, in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriters (or any one of them), has or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the market price or value of the Common Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) (i) there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, condition (including without limitation, terrorism, pandemic, plague or accident) or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence, or a new or change in any law or regulation which in the sole opinion of the Underwriters (or any one of them), materially and adversely affects or would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the financial markets or the business, operations or affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or the market price or value of the securities of the Company; (ii) any inquiry, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether formal or informal) is commenced, announced or threatened in relation to the Company or any one of the officers or directors of the Company or any of its principal shareholders where a material wrong-doing is alleged or any order is made by any federal, provincial, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality including without limitation the TSX, NYSE or securities commission which involves a finding of wrong-doing that significantly and adversely affects or would reasonably be expected to significantly and adversely affect the business, operations or affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or the market price or value of the securities of the Company, and such inquiry, action, suit, proceeding or investigation has not been rescinded, revoked or withdrawn; or (iii) any order, action or proceeding which cease trades or otherwise operates to prevent or restrict the trading of the Common Shares or any other securities of the Company is made or threatened by a securities regulatory authority, and such order, action or proceeding has not been rescinded, revoked or withdrawn; or

(2) If this Agreement is terminated by any of the Underwriters pursuant to Section 12(1) or if this Agreement terminates automatically under Section 13, there shall be no further liability on the part of such Underwriter or of the Company to such Underwriter, except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Section 9 and Section 16.

The Company will be solely responsible for all expenses related to the Offering, including all fees and disbursements of its counsel, its "out of pocket" costs, printing costs, translation costs, filing fees, the Underwriters' reasonable "out of pocket" costs, and all fees, taxes, and disbursements of the Underwriters' counsel, whether or not the Offering is completed. At the option of the Underwriters, such fees and expenses may be deductible from the gross proceeds of the Offering at the Closing Time.

**Section 17 No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship**

The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the Offering Price of the Offered Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the Offering and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or its shareholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favour of the Company with respect to the Offering or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company with respect to the Offering except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the Offering and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deems appropriate.

**Section 19 Actions on Behalf of the Underwriters**

All steps which must or may be taken by the Underwriters in connection with this Underwriting Agreement, with the exception of the matters contemplated by Section 9 and Section 12, shall be taken by the Lead Underwriter on the Underwriters' behalf and the execution of the Agreement by the Underwriters shall constitute the Company's authority for accepting notification of any such steps from, and for giving notice to, and for delivering any electronic deposits or definitive certificate(s) representing the Offered Shares to, or to the order of, the Lead Underwriter.

**Section 20 Survival**

The representations, warranties, obligations and agreements of the Company and of the Underwriters contained herein or delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the purchase by the Underwriters of the Offered Shares for a period of three years following the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any subsequent disposition by the Underwriters of the Offered Shares and the Underwriters shall be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties of the Company contained in or delivered pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any investigation which the Underwriters may undertake or which may be undertaken on the Underwriters' behalf.

**Section 21 Underwriters' Obligations**

(1) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Underwriters' obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Offered Shares shall be several and not joint and several and the liability of each of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Shares shall be limited to the following percentages of the purchase price paid for the Offered Shares:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Canaccord Genuity Corp. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 35.0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; CIBC World Markets Inc. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 15.0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; National Bank Financial Inc. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 15.0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Ventum Financial Corp. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 15.0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10.0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Raymond James Ltd. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10.0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **TOTAL:** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **100%** |

---

(2) In the event that an Underwriter shall at the Closing Time or the Option Closing Time, as the case may be, fail to purchase its percentage of the Firm Shares or Additional Shares as provided in Section 21(1) (a "**Non-Purchasing Underwriter**"), whether upon the exercise of any termination rights or otherwise, and the percentage of Firm Shares or Additional Shares that have not been purchased by one or more Non-Purchasing Underwriters represents 10% or less of the aggregate Firm Shares or Additional Shares, the other Underwriters shall be severally and not jointly (or jointly and severally) obligated to purchase all of the Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, that the Non-Purchasing Underwriter has failed to purchase; the Underwriters shall purchase such Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, *pro rata* to their respective percentages as provided in Section 21(1) or in such other proportions as they may otherwise agree. In the event that the percentage of Firm Shares or Additional Shares that have not been purchased by one or more Non-Purchasing Underwriters represents in aggregate more than 10% of the aggregate Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, the other Underwriters shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase all of the Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which would otherwise have been purchased by the Non-Purchasing Underwriters and the Underwriters exercising such right shall purchase such Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, *pro rata* to their respective percentages as provided in Section 21(1) or in such other proportions as they may otherwise agree. In the event that the continuing Underwriters purchase more Offered Shares pursuant to this Section 21(2) than they otherwise would have pursuant to this Agreement, the continuing Underwriters shall have the right, by notice to the Company, to postpone the Closing Time or the Option Closing Time, as the case may be, for such period not exceeding five Business Days as they shall determine and notify the Company in order that required changes, if any, to the Offering Document or to any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing in this Section 21(2) shall oblige the Company to sell to the Underwriters less than all of the Firm Shares or, in the event of the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in whole or in part, the Additional Shares in respect of which the Over-Allotment Option has been exercised, or relieve from liability to the Company any Underwriter which shall be in default of its obligations under this Agreement.

------

(3) Without affecting the firm obligation of the Underwriters to purchase from the Company the Firm Shares at the Offering Price in accordance with this Agreement (assuming due satisfaction of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement), after the Underwriters have made reasonable effort to sell all of the Firm Shares at the Offering Price, the price payable by the Purchasers may be decreased by the Underwriters and further changed from time to time to an amount not greater than US$3.00 per Firm Share in compliance with applicable Canadian Securities Laws. In such case, the Underwriting Fee realized by the Underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by the Purchasers for the Firm Shares is less than the gross proceeds to be paid by the Underwriters to the Company for the Firm Shares and such reduced price sales will not affect the net proceeds to be received by the Company under the Offering.

**Section 22 Market Stabilization**

In connection with the distribution of the Offered Shares, the Underwriters (or any of them) may effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail in the open market, but in each case as permitted by Applicable Securities Laws. Such stabilizing transactions, if any, may be discontinued by the Underwriters at any time.

**Section 23 Entire Agreement**

Any and all previous agreements with respect to the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares, whether written or oral, including for the avoidance of doubt, the engagement letter dated June 22, 2025 between the Company and the Lead Underwriter, are terminated and this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares.

------

**Section 24 Governing Law**

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws in force in the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

**Section 25 Relationship with the TMX Group Limited**

Certain of the Underwriters or affiliates thereof, each own or control an equity interest in TMX Group Limited ("**TMX Group**") and may have a nominee director serving on the TMX Group's board of directors. As such, such investment dealers may be considered to have an economic interest in the listing of securities on any exchange owned or operated by TMX Group, including the Toronto Stock Exchange. No Person is required to obtain products or services from TMX Group or its affiliates as a condition of any such dealer supplying or continuing to supply a product or service.

**Section 26 Time of the Essence**

Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
