GENERAL

1.1.       Purpose

 

The Sprott Inc. 2020 Amended and Restated
Equity Incentive Plan for U.S. Service Providers (the "Plan") is designed to provide certain Key Persons (as defined
below) residing in the United States or who are otherwise U.S. taxpayers, whose initiative and efforts are deemed to be important
to the successful conduct of the business of Sprott Inc. (the "Company"), with incentives to (a) enter into and remain
in the service of the Company or its Affiliates (as defined below), (b) acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company,
(c) maximize their performance and (d) enhance the long-term performance of the Company.

 

1.2.       Administration

 

(a)       Administration.
The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or such
other committee of the Board as may be designated by the Board to administer the Plan (the "Administrator"); provided
that (i) in the event the Company is subject to Section 16 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"), the Administrator shall be composed of two or more directors, each of whom is a "Non-Employee Director" (a
"Non-Employee Director") under Rule 16b-3 (as promulgated and interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") under the 1934 Act, or any successor rule or regulation thereto as in effect from time to time ("Rule 16b-3")),
and (ii) the Administrator shall be composed solely of two or more directors who are "independent directors" under the
rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's Common Stock (as defined below) is traded; provided further, however,
that, (A) the requirement in the preceding clause (i) shall apply only when required to exempt an Award intended to qualify for
an exemption under the applicable provisions referenced therein, (B) the requirement in the preceding clause (ii) shall apply only
when required pursuant to the applicable rules of the applicable stock exchange and (C) if at any time the Administrator is not
so composed as required by the preceding provisions of this sentence, that fact will not invalidate any grant made, or action taken,
by the Administrator hereunder that otherwise satisfies the terms of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, applicable law
and the applicable rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for trading, and in addition
to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Administrator by the Plan, the Administrator shall have the full power
and authority to: (1) designate the Persons (as defined below) to receive Awards (as defined below) under the Plan; (2) determine
the types of Awards granted to a participant under the Plan; (3) determine the number of shares to be covered by, or with respect
to which payments, rights or other matters are to be calculated with respect to, Awards; (4) determine the terms and conditions
of any Awards; (5) determine whether, and to what extent, and under what circumstances, Awards may be settled in cash, shares,
other securities, other Awards or other property, or cancelled, forfeited or suspended, and the methods by which Awards may be
settled, cancelled, forfeited or suspended; (6) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances cash, shares, other
securities, other Awards, other property and other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred, either automatically
or at the election of the holder thereof or the Administrator; (7) construe, interpret and implement the Plan and any Award Agreement
(as defined below); (8) prescribe, amend, rescind or waive rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules governing
its operation, and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; (9) correct any
defect, supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award Agreement; and (10) make any other determination
and take any other action that the Administrator deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. Unless otherwise
expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to
the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion of the Administrator, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive
and binding upon all Persons.

(b)      
General Right of Delegation. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the applicable rules of a stock exchange
or any charter, by-laws or other agreement governing the Administrator, the Administrator may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities
to any Person or Persons selected by it; provided, however, that in no event shall an officer of the Company be delegated
the authority to grant Awards to, or amend Awards held by, the following individuals: (i) individuals who are subject to Section
16 of the 1934 Act, or (ii) officers of the Company (or directors of the Company) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has
been delegated hereunder; provided, further, that any delegation of administrative authority shall only be permitted to
the extent it is permissible under applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3, to the extent applicable)
and the rules of any applicable stock exchange. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the
Administrator specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Administrator may at any time rescind the authority so delegated
or appoint a new delegate. At all times, the delegate appointed under this Section 1.2(b) shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure
of the Administrator.

 

(c)      
Indemnification. No member of the Board, the Administrator or any employee of the Company or an Affiliate (each such
Person, a "Covered Person") shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made in
good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder. Each Covered Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company
against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such
Covered Person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Covered Person may be a party
or in which such Covered Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan or any Award
Agreement and (ii) any and all amounts paid by such Covered Person, with the Company's approval, in settlement thereof, or paid
by such Covered Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against such Covered Person; provided
that the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or proceeding and, once the
Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company shall have sole control over such defense with counsel of
the Company's choice. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to a Covered Person to the extent that a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment or other final adjudication, in either case not subject to further appeal, determines
that the acts or omissions of such Covered Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Covered Person's
bad faith, fraud or willful criminal act or omission or that such right of indemnification is otherwise prohibited by law or by
the Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws (in each case, as amended and/or restated). The foregoing right of indemnification
shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Covered Persons may be entitled under the Company's articles
of incorporation or bylaws (in each case, as amended and/or restated), as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any other power that
the Company may have to indemnify such Persons or hold them harmless.

 

(d)      
Delegation of Authority to Senior Officers. The Administrator may, in accordance with and subject to the terms of
Section 1.2(b) and applicable law, delegate, on such terms and conditions as it determines, to one or more senior officers of the
Company the authority to make grants of Awards to Key Persons who are employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined
below) or consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

(e)      
Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board may, in its
sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards to Key Persons who are Non-Employee Directors or administer the
Plan with respect to such Awards. In any such case, the Board shall have all the authority and responsibility granted to the Administrator
herein with respect to such Awards.

 

1.3.       Persons Eligible
for Awards

 

The Persons eligible
to receive Awards under the Plan are those directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates residing in the United States or who are otherwise U.S. taxpayers (collectively, "Key Persons") as the Administrator
shall select; provided that in no event shall Eric Sprott be deemed to be a Key Person eligible to receive Awards under
the Plan.

 

    D - 2

     

    

 

1.4.       Types of Awards

 

Awards may
be made under the Plan in the form of (a) restricted stock, (b) restricted stock units and (c) unrestricted stock, all as more
fully set forth in the Plan. The term "Award" means any of the foregoing that are granted under the Plan.

 

1.5.       Shares Available
for Awards; Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization

 

(a)      
Maximum Number. The aggregate number of common shares of the Company ("Common Stock") from treasury that
may be granted (whether vested or unvested) under the Plan and under all other securities based compensation arrangements (including
employee stock purchase plans, stock option plans or other share compensation arrangements of the Company) shall not exceed 10%
of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as at the date of such grant. If shares that have been distributed under the
Plan or the grantee's entitlement to benefits shall expire, terminate or be cancelled for any reason in accordance with the terms
of the Plan, the shares subject thereto shall again be available for the purpose of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything else contained
herein, the number of shares of Common Stock which are (i) issuable from treasury, at any time, and (ii) issued from treasury within
any one-year period, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, an Award Agreement and under any other security based compensation arrangement
to insiders (as defined in the applicable rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX")) of the Company, shall not exceed
10% of the Company's total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

(b)     
Sources of Shares; Certain Requirements/Limitations for Share Issuances. Except to the extent otherwise provided
in Section 2.4 of the Plan, shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued Common Stock or treasury shares or
shares of Common Stock obtained on the market by the Company. Any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan from treasury shall
provide for a minimum vesting period of three months. The Administrator may direct that any stock certificate evidencing shares
issued pursuant to the Plan shall bear a legend setting forth such restrictions on transferability as may apply to such shares.

 

(c)     
Adjustments. (i) Subject to any required approvals of the stock exchange(s) on which the Common Stock is listed,
the Administrator is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition
of unusual or nonrecurring events (including any stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
combination, repurchase or exchange of Company shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights
to purchase Company shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event) affecting the Company,
any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations
or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange, accounting principles or law, whenever the Administrator
determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to an Award, including providing for (A) adjustment to the number
of shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards
or to which outstanding Awards relate and (B) a substitution or assumption of Awards, accelerating the vesting of, or lapse of
restrictions on, Awards, or, if deemed appropriate or desirable, providing for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award
in consideration for the cancellation of such Award.

 

(i)       In
the event of (A) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (B) a sale of all or substantially all the Company's assets or (C)
a merger, reorganization or consolidation involving the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (as defined below), the Administrator
shall have the power to:

 

(1)               
provide that outstanding restricted stock units (including any related dividend equivalent right) shall either continue
in effect, be assumed or an equivalent award shall be substituted therefor by the successor corporation or a parent corporation
or subsidiary corporation; or

 

(2)                cancel,
effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, restricted stock units (including each dividend equivalent right
related thereto) outstanding immediately prior to such event and,in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the
holder of such Award a cash payment in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as of a date specified by the Administrator)
of the shares subject to such Award.

relationship or a dismissal from Board membership, for purposes of the Plan, the term "for Cause" shall be defined as
follows:

 

(i)               
if there is an employment, severance, consulting, service, change in control or other agreement governing the relationship
between the grantee, on the one hand, and the Company or an Affiliate, on the other hand, that contains a definition of "cause"
(or similar phrase), for purposes of the Plan, the term "for Cause" shall mean those acts or omissions that would constitute
"cause" under such agreement; or

 

(ii)              
if the preceding clause (i) is not applicable to the grantee, for purposes of the Plan, the term "for Cause" shall
mean any of the following:

 

(A)             
any failure by the grantee substantially to perform the grantee's employment or consulting/service or Board membership duties;

 

(B)             
any excessive unauthorized absenteeism by the grantee;

 

(C)             
any refusal by the grantee to obey the lawful orders of the Board or any other Person to whom the grantee reports;

 

(D)

form) relating to the Company or an Affiliate or the customers or clients of the Company or an Affiliate or (2) disclosure to any
Person of any of the Company's, or any Affiliate's, confidential or proprietary information;

 

(J)               
the grantee's being convicted of, or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any crime that constitutes a felony
or involves moral turpitude;

 

(K)             
the grantee's engaging in a reportable violation of banking or securities industry laws, rules or regulations that constitutes

    D - 4

determination of whether a grantee's employment, consultancy/service relationship or Board membership is (or is deemed to have
been) terminated "for Cause" shall be made by the Administrator. If, subsequent to a grantee's voluntary termination
of employment or consultancy/service relationship or voluntarily resignation from the Board or involuntary termination of employment
or consultancy/service relationship without Cause or removal from the Board other than "for Cause", it is discovered

expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or the grantee's, by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to
last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three
months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the grantee's employer. The existence of a Disability shall be determined
by the Administrator.

 

(e)               
The "Fair Market Value" of a share of Common Stock on any day shall be the closing price on the TSX, or such other
primary stock exchange upon which such shares are then listed, or, if no such price is reported for such day, the average of the
high bid and low asked price of Common Stock as reported for such day. If no quotation is made for the applicable day, the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on such day shall be determined in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence for the
next preceding trading day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no reported closing price or high bid/low asked price that
satisfies the preceding sentences, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on any day shall be determined by such methods
and procedures as shall be established from time to time by the Administrator. The "Fair Market Value" of any property
other than Common Stock shall be the fair market value of such property determined by such methods and procedures as shall be established
from time to time by the Administrator.

ARTICLE II

AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN

 

2.1. Agreements Evidencing Awards

 

Each Award granted under the Plan
shall be evidenced by a written certificate ("Award Agreement"), which shall contain such provisions as the
Administrator may deem necessary or desirable and which may, but need not, require execution or acknowledgment by a grantee.
The Award shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan, applicable law and the applicable Award
Agreement.

 

    D - 5

     

    

 

2.2.       Grant of Restricted
Stock

 

(a)               
Restricted Stock Grants. The Administrator may grant restricted shares of Common Stock to such Key Persons, in such
amounts and subject to such vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine,
subject to the provisions of the Plan and applicable law. A grantee of a restricted stock Award shall have no rights with respect
to such Award unless such grantee accepts the Award within such period as the Administrator shall specify by accepting delivery
of a restricted stock Award Agreement in such form as the Administrator shall determine.

 

(b)               
Issuance of Stock Certificate. Promptly after a grantee accepts a restricted stock Award in accordance with Section
2.2(a), subject to Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 3.13, the Company or its designated exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") shall
issue to the grantee a stock certificate or stock certificates for the shares of Common Stock covered by the Award or shall establish
an account evidencing ownership of the stock in uncertificated form. Upon the issuance of such stock certificates, or establishment
of such account, the grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the restricted stock, subject to: (i) the nontransferability
restrictions and forfeiture provisions described in the Plan (including paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section 2.2); (ii) in the
Administrator's sole discretion, a requirement, as set forth in the Award Agreement, that any dividends paid on such shares shall
be held in escrow and, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, shall remain forfeitable until all restrictions on such
shares have lapsed; and (iii) any other restrictions and conditions contained in the applicable Award Agreement.

 

(c)              
Custody of Stock Certificate. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, any stock certificates issued evidencing
shares of restricted stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such shares are free of any restrictions specified
in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator may direct that such stock certificates bear a legend setting forth the applicable
restrictions on transferability.

 

(d)              
Nontransferability. Shares of restricted stock granted under the Plan may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged
or otherwise encumbered or disposed of prior to the lapsing of all restrictions thereon, except by will, by the laws of descent
and distribution, or through gift or domestic relations orders to a "family member" of the grantee as permitted by Rule
701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or as may be otherwise specifically provided in the applicable
Award Agreement in accordance with applicable law. Following any such transfer, any transferred restricted stock shall continue
to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer. The Administrator at the time
of grant shall specify the date or dates (which may depend upon or be related to the attainment of performance goals and other
conditions) on which the nontransferability of the restricted stock shall lapse.

 

(e)              
Consequence of Termination of Employment/Service. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, (i)
a grantee's termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates
for any reason other than death or Disability shall cause the immediate forfeiture of all shares of restricted stock that have
not yet vested as of the date of such termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship and (ii) if a grantee incurs
a termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as the result
of his or her death or Disability, all shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested as of the date of such termination shall
immediately vest as of such date. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, all dividends paid on shares forfeited under
this Section 2.2(e) that have not theretofore been directly remitted to the grantee shall also be forfeited, whether by termination
of any escrow arrangement under which such dividends are held or otherwise. For greater certainty, shares of restricted stock shall
not be affected by any change of employment of the grantee or by the grantee ceasing to be an officer, director or consultant of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates so long as the grantee continues to be a director, officer, employee or consultant
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Administrator may, in writing, waive or modify the application of
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(e).

 

    D - 6

     

    

 

2.3.       Grant of Restricted
Stock Units

 

(a)               
Restricted Stock Unit Grants. The Administrator may grant restricted stock units to such Key Persons, and in such
amounts and subject to such vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions, as the Administrator shall determine,
subject to the provisions of the Plan and applicable law. A restricted stock unit granted under the Plan shall confer upon the
grantee a right to receive from the Company, conditioned upon the occurrence of such vesting event as shall be determined by the
Administrator and specified in the Award Agreement, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of such grantee's restricted
stock units that vest upon the occurrence of such vesting event. Payment upon vesting of a restricted stock unit shall be in shares
of Common Stock, and such payments shall be made to the grantee at such time as provided in the Award Agreement, which the Administrator
shall intend to be within the period required by Section 409A such that it qualifies as a "short-term deferral" pursuant
to Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, unless the Administrator shall otherwise provide for deferral of
the Award intended to comply with Section 409A.

 

(b)               
Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator may include in any Award Agreement with respect to a restricted stock unit
a dividend equivalent right entitling the grantee to receive amounts equal to the ordinary dividends that would be paid, during
the time such Award is outstanding and unvested, and/or, if payment of the vested Award is deferred, during the time of such deferral
following such vesting event, on the shares of Common Stock underlying such Award if such shares were then outstanding. In the
event such a provision is included in a Award Agreement, the Administrator shall determine whether such payments shall be (i) paid
to the holder of the Award, as specified in the Award Agreement, either (A) at the same time as the underlying dividends are paid,
regardless of the fact that the restricted stock unit has not theretofore vested, (B) at the time at which the Award's vesting
event occurs, conditioned upon the occurrence of the vesting event, (C) once the Award has vested, at the same time as the underlying
dividends are paid, regardless of the fact that payment of the vested restricted stock unit has been deferred, and/or (D) at the
time at which the corresponding vested restricted stock units are paid, (ii) made in cash, shares of Common Stock or other property
and (iii) subject to such other vesting and forfeiture provisions and other terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem
appropriate and as shall be set forth in the Award Agreement, subject to the provisions of the Plan and applicable law.

 

(c)               
Consequence of Termination of Employment/Service. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, (i)
a grantee's termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates
for any reason other than death or Disability shall cause the immediate forfeiture of all restricted stock units that have not
yet vested as of the date of such termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship and (ii) if a grantee incurs a
termination of employment or consultancy/service relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as the result
of his or her death or Disability, all restricted stock units that have not yet vested as of the date of such termination shall
immediately vest as of such date. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, any dividend equivalent rights on any restricted
stock units forfeited under this Section 2.3(c) that have not theretofore been directly remitted to the grantee shall also be forfeited,
whether by termination of any escrow arrangement under which such dividends are held or otherwise. For greater certainty, restricted
stock units shall not be affected by any change of employment of the grantee or by the grantee ceasing to be an officer, director
or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates so long as the grantee continues to be a director, officer,
employee or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Administrator may, in writing, waive or modify
the application of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(c).

 

(d)               
No Stockholder Rights. No grantee of a restricted stock unit shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company with respect to such Award unless and until a stock certificate is issued with respect to such vested Award, which issuance
shall be subject to Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 3.13. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.5(c), no adjustment to any restricted
stock unit shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash,
securities or other property) for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate, if any, is issued.

 

    D - 7

     

    

 

(e)       Nontransferability.
Restricted stock units granted under the Plan may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed
of prior to the lapsing of all restrictions thereon, except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or through gift or
domestic relations orders to a "family member" of the grantee as permitted by Rule 701 of the 1933 Act, or as may be
otherwise specifically provided in the applicable Award Agreement in accordance with applicable law. Following any such transfer,
any transferred restricted stock units shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately
prior to the transfer.

 

2.4.       Grant of Unrestricted
Stock

 

The Administrator may grant (or sell at
a purchase price at least equal to any par value) shares of Common Stock free of restrictions under the Plan to such Key Persons
and in such amounts and subject to such forfeiture provisions as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the provisions of
the Plan and applicable law. Shares may be thus granted or sold in respect of past services or other valid consideration. Grants
of Common Stock under this Section 2.4 shall be made using shares of Common Stock obtained on the market by the Company, and in
no event shall treasury shares be used to make grants under this Section 2.4.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Miscellaneous

 

3.1. Amendment of the Plan; Modification of Awards

 

(a)               
Subject to applicable regulatory requirements and except as provided herein, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion
and without shareholder approval, amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Plan and the Board and/or the Administrator may
amend the terms and conditions of Awards granted pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that if the Board wishes to increase
the maximum percentage in Section 1.5(a) hereof, shareholder approval will be required; provided further, however, that if the
Plan at the time does not comply with all conditions of Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the maximum percentage
in Section 1.5(a) hereof may not be increased above 30% of the then outstanding securities of the Company (counting convertible
preferred or convertible senior common shares of stock on an as if converted basis) unless approval of the shareholders holding
at least two-thirds of the outstanding securities entitled to vote is obtained; and provided further, however, that no such action
shall materially impair any rights or materially increase any obligations under any Award theretofore made under the Plan without
the consent of the grantee (or, upon the grantee's death, the Person having the rights to the Award). For purposes of this Section
3.1, any action of the Board or the Administrator that in any way alters or affects the tax treatment of any Award shall not be
considered to materially impair any rights of any grantee.

 

(b)               
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board may make the following amendments to the Plan, without obtaining
shareholder approval:

 

(i)               
amendments to the terms and conditions of the Plan necessary to ensure that the Plan complies with the applicable regulatory
requirements, including the rules of the TSX or other exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, U.S. federal and state securities
laws, the Canada Revenue Agency and the Code, in place from time to time;

 

(ii)

Plan;

 

(iii)

and

 

(iv)          
   amendments to the Plan that are of a "housekeeping" nature.

 

    D - 8

     

    

 

(c)               
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board and the Administrator may not, without the approval of the Company's
shareholders, make amendments with respect to the following:

 

(i)               
an increase to the Plan maximum or the number of securities issuable under the Plan (subject to the approval requirements
set forth in Section 3.1(a) above);

 

(ii)             
amendment provisions granting additional powers to the Board and/or the Administrator to amend the Plan or entitlements
thereunder; and

 

(iii)            
an increase in entitlements held by insiders of the Company, including extension of the termination or expiry dates thereof
or changes to insider participation limits.

 

3.2.       Consent Requirement

 

(a)               
No Plan Action Without Required Consent. If the Administrator shall at any time determine that any Consent (as defined
below) is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of any Award under the Plan, the issuance
or purchase of shares or other rights thereunder, or the taking of any other action thereunder (each such action being hereinafter
referred to as a "Plan Action"), then such Plan Action shall not be taken, in whole or in part, unless and until such
Consent shall have been effected or obtained to the full satisfaction of the Administrator.

 

(b)               
Consent Defined. The term "Consent" as used herein with respect to any Plan Action means (i) any and all
listings, registrations, exemptions or qualifications in respect thereof upon any securities exchange or under any federal, state
or local law, rule or regulation, (ii) any and all written agreements and representations by the grantee with respect to the disposition
of shares, or with respect to any other matter, which the Administrator shall deem necessary or desirable to comply with the terms
of any such listing, registration or qualification or to obtain an exemption from the requirement that any such listing, qualification
or registration be made and (iii) any and all consents, clearances and approvals in respect of a Plan Action by any governmental
or other regulatory bodies or any other Person.

 

3.3.       Nonassignability

 

Except as provided
in Sections 2.2(d) or 2.3(e), (a) no Award or right granted to any Person under the Plan or under any Award Agreement shall be
assignable or transferable, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or through a gift or domestic relations
orders to a "family member" of the grantee as permitted by Rule 701 of the 1933 Act, or as may be otherwise specifically
provided in the applicable Award Agreement in accordance with applicable law and (b) all rights granted under the Plan or any Award
Agreement shall be exercisable during the life of the grantee only by the grantee or the grantee's legal representative or the
grantee's permissible successors or assigns. All terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreements will be binding
upon any permitted successors or assigns.

 

3.4.       Taxes

 

(a)       Withholding. A
grantee or other Award holder under the Plan shall be required to pay, in cash, to the Company, and the Company and its
Affiliates shall have the right and are hereby authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made
under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to such grantee or other Award holder, the
amount of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of an Award, its grant, its vesting, or any payment or transfer under
an Award or under the Plan, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all
obligations for payment of such taxes. Whenever shares of Common Stock are to be delivered pursuant to an Award under the
Plan, with the approval of the Administrator, which the Administrator shall have sole discretion whether or not to give, the
grantee may satisfy the foregoing condition by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery shares having a value
equal to the amount of minimum tax required to be withheld. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the
date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such a
withholding election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the shares to be delivered pursuant to an Award as may
be approved by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

 

    D - 9

     

    

 

(b)       Liability
for Taxes. Grantees and holders of Awards are solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties
that may arise in connection with Awards (including, without limitation, any taxes arising under Sections 409A and 457A of the
Code) and the Company shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold any such Person harmless from any or all of
such taxes. The Administrator shall have the discretion to organize any deferral program, to require deferral election forms, and
to grant or, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any Award Agreement, to unilaterally modify any Award in a
manner that (i) conforms with the requirements of Sections 409A and 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable), (ii) voids any
participant election to the extent it would violate Sections 409A or 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable) and (iii) for
any distribution event or election that could be expected to violate Section 409A of the Code, make the distribution only upon
the earliest of the first to occur of a "permissible distribution event" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code
or a distribution event that the participant elects in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. The Administrator shall have the
sole discretion to interpret the requirements of the Code, including, without limitation, Sections 409A and 457A, for purposes
of the Plan and all Awards.

 

3.5.       Information
Requirements

 

If the Plan at any
time does not comply with all conditions of Rule 701 of the 1933 Act, then the Company shall provide security holders under the
Plan financial statements of the Company at least annually.

 

3.6.       Operation and
Conduct of Business

 

Nothing in the Plan
or any Award Agreement shall be construed as limiting or preventing the Company or any Affiliate from taking any action with respect
to the operation and conduct of their business that they deem appropriate or in their best interests, including any or all adjustments,
recapitalizations, reorganizations, exchanges or other changes in the capital structure of the Company or any Affiliate, any merger
or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, any issuance of Company shares or other securities or subscription rights, any
issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or other securities or
rights thereof, any dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, any sale or transfer of all or any part of the
assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or
otherwise.

 

3.7.       No Rights to Awards

 

No Key Person or other Person shall have
any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan.

 

3.8.       Right of Discharge
Reserved

 

Nothing in the Plan
or in any Award Agreement shall confer upon any grantee the right to continue his or her employment with the Company or any Affiliate,
his or her consultancy/service relationship with the Company or any Affiliate, or his or her position as a director of the Company
or any Affiliate, or affect any right that the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate such employment or consultancy/service
relationship or service as a director.

 

3.9.       Non-Uniform Determinations

 

The
Administrator's determinations and the treatment of Key Persons and grantees and their beneficiaries under the Plan need not
be uniform and may be made and determined by the Administrator selectively among Persons who receive, or who are eligible to
receive, Awards under the Plan (whether or not such Persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrator shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, and to
enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements, as to (a) the Persons to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) the types
of Awards granted under the Plan,(c) the
number of shares to be covered by, or with respect to which payments, rights or other matters are to be calculated with
respect to, Awards and (d) the terms and conditions of Awards.

 

    D - 10

     

    

 

3.10.       Other Payments or Awards

 

Nothing contained in
the Plan shall be deemed in any way to limit or restrict the Company from making any award or payment to any Person under any other
plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in effect.

 

3.11.       Headings

 

Any section, subsection,
paragraph or other subdivision headings contained herein are for the purpose of convenience only and are not intended to expand,
limit or otherwise define the contents of such subdivisions.

 

3.12.       Effective Date and Term of Plan

 

(a)               
Adoption; Stockholder Approval. The Plan was adopted by the Board on March 23, 2020 and by a majority of the outstanding
securities of the Company entitled to vote on May 18, 2020. The Board may, but need not, make the granting of any Awards under
the Plan subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders.

 

(b)               
Termination of Plan. The Board may terminate the Plan at any time. All Awards made under the Plan prior to its termination
shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan
and the applicable Award Agreements. No Awards may be granted under the Plan following the tenth anniversary of the date on which
the Plan was adopted by the Board or approved by the Company's security holders, whichever is earlier.

 

3.13.       Restriction on Issuance of Stock Pursuant to Awards

 

The Company shall not
permit any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan unless such shares of Common Stock are
fully paid and non-assessable under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any Award Agreement,
at the time of vesting of any Award, at the time of payment of shares of Common Stock in exchange for, or in cancellation of, any
Award, or at the time of grant of any unrestricted shares under the Plan, the Company and the Administrator may, if either shall
deem it necessary or advisable for any reason, require the holder of an Award to represent in writing to the Company that it is
the Award holder's then-intention to acquire the shares with respect to which the Award is granted for investment and not with
a view to the distribution thereof; and no shares shall be issued or transferred in connection with any Award unless and until
all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or transfer of such shares have been complied with to the satisfaction of the
Company and the Administrator. The Company and the Administrator shall have the right to condition any issuance of shares to any
Award holder hereunder on such Person's undertaking in writing to comply with such restrictions on the subsequent transfer of such
shares as the Company or the Administrator shall deem necessary or advisable as a result of any applicable law, regulation or official
interpretation thereof, and all share certificates delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other
restrictions as the Company or the Administrator may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement or the rules,
regulations and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such shares are listed, and any applicable securities
or other laws, and certificates representing such shares may contain a legend to reflect any such restrictions. The Administrator
may refuse to issue or transfer any shares or other consideration under an Award if it determines that the issuance or transfer
of such shares or other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle the Company to recover the same
under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award granted under the Plan shall be
construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Administrator
has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of any applicable securities
laws.

 

    D - 11

     

    

 

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

 

If an Award recipient,
in connection with the acquisition of Company shares under the Plan, makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (to include
in gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of the Code), the grantee shall notify the Administrator
of such election within ten days of filing notice of the election with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, in addition to any filing
and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under Section 83(b) of the Code. No Award recipient may make an election
under Section 83(b) of the Code without first seeking and obtaining the written permission of the Administrator, which the Administrator
may provide in its discretion.

 

3.15.       Severability

 

If any provision of
the 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 the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Administrator, such provision shall
be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the
determination of the Administrator, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as
to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

 

3.16.       Sections 409A and 457A

 

To the extent applicable,
the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and Department of Treasury
regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any applicable Award
Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A or 457A
of the Code, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies
and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator
determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Plan and Award from Sections 409A and 457A of the Code and/or preserve
the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Sections
409A and 457A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes under
Sections 409A and 457A of the Code.

 

3.17.       Forfeiture; Clawback

 

The Administrator may,
in its sole discretion, specify in the applicable Award Agreement that any realized value with respect to any Award shall be subject
to forfeiture or clawback, in the event of (a) a grantee's breach of any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or
other restrictive covenants with respect to the Company or any Affiliate, (b) a grantee's breach of any employment or consulting
agreement with the Company or any Affiliate, (c) a grantee's termination for Cause or (d) a financial restatement that reduces
the amount of compensation under the Plan previously awarded to a grantee that would have been earned had results been properly
reported.

 

3.18.       No Trust or Fund Created

 

Neither
the 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 or any Affiliate and an Award recipient or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right
to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right
of any unsecured general creditor of the Company

or its Affiliate.

 

    D - 12

     

    

 

3.19.       No Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares shall be issued or
delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Administrator shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property
shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be
canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.

 

3.20.       Governing Law

 

The Plan will be construed and administered
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.Exhibit 4.5

ARTICLE 5

MEMBERS' ACCOUNTS

Member's Account:

 

		(a)	The Trustee, in the name of the Trust, shall from time to time purchase Shares in the capital stock
of the Corporation in such amounts, at such times and in accordance with the written directions of the Corporation. Such Shares
may be purchased in the open market, from a third party or from the treasury of the Corporation. The price at which such Shares
may be issued from treasury shall equal the closing sale price of such Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the trading day
immediately preceding such date. In the event that such Shares did not trade on such trading day, the price shall be the average
of the bid and ask prices in respect of such Shares at the close of trading on such trading day. If no quotation is made for the
applicable day, the price on such day shall be determined in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence for the next preceding
trading day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no reported closing price or high bid/low asked price that satisfies the
preceding sentences, the price on any day shall be determined by such methods and procedures as shall be established from time
to time by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Corporation shall provide such direction
in accordance with the requirements of the Member's Contract. At the time of purchase the Shares so purchased shall be designated
for the account of the particular Member (the "Member's Account") in accordance with the Corporation's
written direction. The Member’s Account shall also record the amount of any debt incurred by the Trust in connection with
the purchase of such Shares. The Member shall have no interest in nor entitlement to the Shares in the Member's Account until such
time as the Shares have been distributed to him or disposed of by the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Member's Contract
and the Plan. For the purpose of the ITA, no amount shall be allocated to a Member under the Plan in respect of any vested Shares,
except as set out in the relevant Member’s Contract and the terms of the Plan that govern each Member’s Allocated Account
(as set out below).

 

    	 	C-3	 

     

    

 

Member's Vested Account:

 

		(b)	All or a part of the Shares in a Member's Account shall vest in the Member from time to time in
accordance with the Member's Contract, subject to a minimum vesting period of three months for Shares issued from treasury in accordance
with paragraph (a) of Article 5. For greater certainty, in accordance with the Member's Contract, as the preconditions specified
in the Member's Contract are satisfied a specified number of Shares shall vest in the Member for the purposes of the Plan. The
entitlement of a Member to the vested Shares may be subject to any debt incurred and owing by the Trust in connection with the
purchase of the Shares. At such time as Shares vest in the Member, the Trustee shall, upon written direction from the Corporation,
designate the Shares which have so vested to a sub-account for the Member created for such purpose. The sub-account so created
shall be referred to as the "Member's Vested Account". At such time as all of the preconditions specified in the Member's
Contract are satisfied, all of the Shares in the Member's Account shall have been designated to the Member's Vested Account. The
Member’s Vested Account shall also record the amount of any debt incurred by the Trust in connection with the purchase of
such Shares. The terms and conditions governing a Member’s ability to acquire Shares in his or her Vested Account shall be
governed by the relevant Member’s Contract and the terms of the Plan.

 

Member's Allocated Account:

 

		(c)	From time to time the Trustee shall, upon written direction from the Corporation, allocate the
Contributions, profits, capital gains and capital losses incurred, realized, received or accrued by the Shares in a Member's Vested
Account to an account to be known as the "Member's Allocated Account". The Corporation shall make such determination
in accordance with the Member's Contract and the Plan which in conjunction shall specify at what time and upon the happening of
what contingency the profits, capital gains and capital losses incurred, realized, received or accrued by the Shares in a Member's
Vested Account shall be allocated to the Member's Allocated Account. Such allocation shall be as further described in paragraph
(d) of Article 5.

 

		(d)	The Member's Allocated Account shall be a complete record of:

 

		(i)	all Contributions allocated to the Member in accordance with paragraph (c);

 

		(ii)	any dividends or other profits from the Shares in the Member's Vested Account (computed without
reference to capital gains and losses) and any capital gains and capital losses derived from the Shares in the Member's Vested
Account to the extent that such profits, net value, capital gains or capital losses have been allocated to the Member in accordance
with the preceding paragraphs.

 

		(iii)	all amounts or property distributed to the Member or to his or her Beneficiary;

 

		(iv)	all Expenses of the Trust Fund allocated to the Member at the direction of the Corporation which
have not been deducted for the purpose of determining the profits from the Shares in the Member's Vested Account allocated pursuant
to subparagraph (ii) above; and

 

		(v)	any amount allocated to the Member of the total amount another Employee is entitled to deduct under
subsection 144(9) of the ITA.

 

    	 	C-4	 

     

    

 

Such Member's Allocated Account
shall be maintained for the Member until full distribution is made to the Member or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan.

 

		(e)	Allocation of Contributions: Immediately upon receipt thereof, and in no case later than the end
of the Taxation Year, the Trustee, acting upon the written direction of the Corporation (such direction to specify the amount to
be so allocated to each Member's Allocated Account), shall allocate the Contributions (net of Expenses incurred during the year)
received during the Taxation Year to a Member's Allocated Account or Members' Allocated Accounts.

 

		(f)	Allocation of Profits from the Trust Property, Capital Gains and Capital Losses: Subject to the
provisions of Article 7 and the provisions of a Member's Contract, upon written direction of the Corporation, the following items
shall be allocated to a Member's Allocated Account:

 

		(i)	all net profits (after Expenses of the Trust and not including capital gains) from the Shares in
the Member's Vested Account on a yearly basis;

 

		(ii)	capital gains net of any capital losses derived from dispositions of Shares in the Member's Vested
Account; and

 

		(iii)	such other property or amounts out of the Trust Fund as the Trustee shall determine are payable
to the Member in accordance with the Member's Contract and the Plan shall be allocated to the Member during the Taxation Year in
which a distribution is to be made to a Member in accordance with Article 7 and with paragraphs (b) and (c) of Article 6 of the
Plan, to the extent that they have not been allocated in Taxation Years preceding that Taxation Year.

 

In the event that a Member's
employment or service with the Participating Entity is terminated for cause, the Corporation shall advise the Trustee in writing
and thereupon all Shares and amounts contained in or allocated to such Member's Vested Account and such Member's Allocated Account
shall be forfeited and the amounts thereof shall be reallocated to the Members of the Plan at the end of the Taxation Year in accordance
with the Corporation's written direction. Such reallocated amounts shall be divided in such Shares and proportions between the
participating Members of the Plan as the Corporation shall direct.

 

		(g)	Valuation of Members' Accounts: Each Member's Allocated Account shall be valued as of the last
business day of each fiscal year, and as of any other date on which such Member's Allocated Account or any portion thereof must
be valued for the purpose of the Plan, to reflect the Member's allocated share of earnings (consisting of all profits, capital
gains and capital losses from the Shares in the Member's Vested Account), Contributions, distributions and Expenses of the Trust
Fund not deducted in determining the profits from the Trust Property.

 

		(h)	Payment of Income Tax: The Corporation shall provide the Trustee with an estimate of the amount
of income tax which will be payable by each Member with respect to the allocations made in favour of each Member and the Trustee
shall remit the amount of income tax so estimated to Canada Revenue Agency on behalf of each such Member. The Trustee shall provide
the Corporation with a report with respect to amounts remitted by it to Canada Revenue Agency pursuant to this section.

ARTICLE 6

VESTING AND DISTRIBUTION

 

(a)       Vesting: All
amounts designated by the Trustee to a Member's Vested Account in a particular Taxation Year shall vest in such Member in the
manner provided for in such Member's Contract. As set out in Article 5 above, vesting in and of itself does not constitute an
allocation to a Member in respect of the relevant Shares.

 

In the event of death or termination
of employment or service, other than resignation or termination for cause, the Board of Directors of the Corporation in its sole
discretion, may deem vested and designate to a Member’s Vested Account, as soon as practicable and in any event prior to
the distribution as set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Article 6, such number of Shares as would otherwise have been vested
up to:

 

		(i)	one year thereafter, in the event of death, and

 

		(ii)	three months thereafter, in the event of termination of employment or service, other than resignation or termination for cause,

 

(or such longer period as determined
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) had death or termination of employment or service not occurred.

 

(b)       Distribution: An
amount equal to the net value (after Expenses of the Trust and any unpaid debt owing by

 

the Trust on any Shares in the
Member's Vested Account) of the assets which have been allocated to the Member's Vested Account shall be transferred by the Trustee
to the Member's Allocated Account and distributed by the Trustee to a Member no later than three months after the earliest of the
date of the happening of the following events:

 

		(iii)	the termination of employment or service including retirement, resignation, and dismissal without cause of the Member; and

 

		(iv)	the termination of the Plan.

 

The Trustee shall be entitled
to rely on the Corporation's determination of the net value of the assets to be transferred to the Member in accordance with this
Article 6. In the event that the Member’s Contract provides that any unpaid debt owing by the Trust is to be assumed by the
Member or paid by the Member, then the amount of any such debt may be reflected in the calculation of the relevant Member’s
Allocated Account.

 

(c)       Distribution
upon death: Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, when a Member dies there shall be allocated to his or
her Member's Allocated Account and distributed to his or her Beneficiary within three months after the date of death the net
value (after Expenses of the Trust) of the amount in the Member's Vested Account.

 

ARTICLE 7

DISTRIBUTIONS AND WITHDRAWALS

 

Subject to the terms of a Member’s
Contract, distributions of cash or in specie, as provided below, may be made from a Member's Allocated Account to such Member at
any time upon the written direction of the Corporation.

 

Any distribution to a Member from a
Member's Allocated Account shall be in cash or in specie, provided that the Trustee shall distribute to a Member out of the
Member's Allocated Account only the net amount available for distribution to the Member. For greater certainty, any Shares
which have been allocated to a Member's Allocated Account in accordance with the Member's Contract may be distributed to the
Member in specie only upon the discharge of any debt owing by the Trust in respect of the Shares at the time of distribution.
Such debt may be discharged by a Participating Entity or the Member in accordance with the relevant provisions of the
Member’s Contract.

 

    	 	C-6	 

     

    

 

In the event that property other
than the money is received by a Member from the Plan, then the income tax consequences to the Plan and the Member shall be governed
by subsection 144(7.1) of the ITA.

ARTICLE 8

CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS

 

		(a)	Subject to the provisions of Article 10, if at any time after the grant
of any benefits under the Plan to any Member and prior to the termination of such Member’s entitlement thereto, there occurs
any subdivision or redivision of the Shares into a greater number of Shares or any consolidation of Shares into a lesser number
of Shares, the Corporation shall deliver to such Member at the time of any subsequent distribution out of the Member’s Allocated
Account in accordance with the terms hereof, in lieu of the number of Shares to which he or she was theretofore entitled upon such
distribution, such number of Shares as such Member would have held as a result of such subdivision, redivision or consolidation,
as the case may be, if, on the record date thereof, the Member had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which
he or she was theretofore entitled upon such distribution.

 

		(b)	Subject to the provisions of Article 10, if at any time after the grant
of any benefits under the Plan to any Member and prior to the termination of such Member’s entitlement thereto, (i) the Shares
shall be reclassified, reorganized or otherwise changed, otherwise than as specified in Sections 8(a), (ii) the Corporation shall
consolidate, merge or amalgamate with or into another corporation (the corporation resulting or continuing from such consolidation,
merger or amalgamation being herein called the “Successor Corporation”) or (iii) the Corporation shall pay a stock
dividend (other than any dividends in the ordinary course), the Member shall be entitled to receive upon the subsequent distribution
out of the Member’s Allocated Account in accordance with the terms hereof and shall accept in lieu of the number of Shares
to which he or she was theretofore entitled upon such distribution, the aggregate number of shares of the appropriate class and/or
other securities of the Corporation or the Successor Corporation (as the case may be) that the Member would have been entitled
to receive as a result of such reclassification, reorganization or other change or as a result of such consolidation, merger, amalgamation
or stock dividend, if on the record date of such reclassification, reorganization, other change, consolidation, merger, amalgamation
or dividend payment, as the case may be, he or she had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which he or she was
theretofore entitled upon such distribution.

 

ARTICLE 9

ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

The management of the Corporation
is responsible for the administration of the Plan; it will administer the Plan in all its details which, without being limited
thereto, include:

 

		(a)	the establishment and application of rules and regulations necessary and
proper for an efficient administration of the Plan;

 

		(b)	the interpretation of the Plan;

 

		(c)	the determination by the Corporation of the Contributions or amounts on
which Contributions are based; and

 

		(d)	furnishing information in writing to the Members regarding their rights
under the Plan. all of which shall be final and binding on the Trustee, the Members and shall not be subject to review in any manner
by any of them or any other person claiming under the Plan.

 

    	 	C-7	 

     

    

 

The Corporation shall only be
accountable for reasonable diligence in the exercise of their powers and the performance of their duties and shall only be liable
for their own fraud, willful misconduct or negligence.

 

The aggregate number of Shares
from treasury that may be granted (whether vested or unvested) under the Plan and under all other securities based compensation
arrangements (including employee stock purchase plans, stock option plans or other Share compensation arrangements of the Corporation)
shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares as at the date of such grant. If Shares have been distributed under the
Plan or the Member’s entitlement to benefits shall expire, terminate or be cancelled for any reason in accordance with the
terms of the Plan, the Shares subject thereto shall again be available for the purpose of the Plan.

 

Notwithstanding anything else
contained herein, the number of Shares of the Corporation which are (i) issuable from treasury, at any time, and (ii) issued from
treasury within any one-year period, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, a Member’s Contract and under any other security
based compensation arrangement to insiders (as defined in the applicable rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange) of the Corporation,
shall not exceed 10% of the Corporation’s total issued and outstanding Shares.

 

From time to time, the Plan
may borrow monies from a third party or a Participating Employer (including the Corporation) and use such borrowed funds to acquire
Shares of the Corporation or other property. For greater certainty, any funds borrowed by the Plan or other indebtedness incurred
by the Plan shall not be considered to be amounts contributed to the Plan by a Participating Employer (including the Corporation)
and any Shares or other property acquired with any such borrowed funds or indebtedness shall not be required to be designated or
allocated to any particular Member’s Account, although such a designation or allocation may be made at a subsequent time
pursuant to the terms of a particular Member’s Contract.

 

Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein any taxes or interest that are assessed against Members and that relate in any way to their participation in
the Plan shall be the sole responsibility of the Members, including any amounts that arise as a direct or indirect result of the
Plan failing at any time to qualify as an “Employee Profit Sharing Plan” as defined in subsection 144(1) of the ITA.

 

The Corporation and the Trustee
shall be entitled to rely upon tables, valuations, certificates, reports and opinions made or given by an actuary or by any accountant
or legal counsel being in the Corporation's employ or under contract for such purpose with the Corporation.

 

The Trustee shall be entitled
and required to rely upon the written directions and determinations provided or made by the Corporation in respect of the terms
of a Member's Contract or the entitlement of a Member to any Shares or other assets of the Trust Fund. The Trustee is fully protected
in such reliance.

 

ARTICLE 10

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF
THE PLAN

 

It is the intention of the Corporation
to continue the Plan in effect indefinitely (subject to the term below) but the Corporation necessarily reserves the right to amend,
modify or discontinue the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time, provided, however, that any such amendment or modification which
may affect the rights, duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall not become effective until the Corporation has received
the written consent of the Trustee thereto.

 

No amendment or modification
to the Plan shall adversely affect the rights of the Members up to the date of such amendment or modification.

 

Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may make the following amendments to the Plan, without obtaining shareholder
approval:

 

    	 	C-8	 

     

    

 

		(a)	amendments to the terms and conditions of the Plan necessary to ensure that the Plan complies with
the applicable regulatory requirements, including the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange and Canada Revenue Agency, in place from
time to time;

 

		(b)	amendments to the provisions of the Plan respecting administration of the Plan and eligibility
for participation under the Plan;

 

		(c)	amendments to the provisions of the Plan respecting the terms and conditions on which allocations
may be made to a Member’s Allocated Account pursuant to the Plan, including the provisions relating to the vesting schedule
(subject to the minimum vesting period set out in paragraph (b) of Article 5); and

 

		(d)	amendments to the Plan that are of a “housekeeping” nature.

 

Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Board of Directors may not, without the approval of the Corporation’s shareholders, make amendments with respect
to the following:

 

		(a)	an increase to the Plan maximum or the number of securities issuable under the Plan;

 

		(b)	amendment provisions granting additional powers to the Corporation or the Board of Directors to
amend the Plan; and

 

		(c)	an increase in entitlements held by insiders of the Corporation, including extension of the termination
or expiry dates thereof or changes to insider participation limits.

 

If the Plan is terminated, each Participating
Entity shall not recover any amounts paid into the Trust Fund up to the date of such termination and all of the Trust Fund must
and shall be used for the sole benefit of the Members and/or their Beneficiaries, according to the balance in their Member's Account
as determined by a special valuation of the Trust Fund as of the date of the termination of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if on a termination of the Plan there exist Plan assets that have not vested in any Member’ s Vested Account on or before
the Plan termination date, then the Trustee, on the direction of the Corporation, shall distribute such assets to a successor “Employee
Profit Sharing Plan” as defined in subsection 144(1) of the ITA (a “Successor EPSP”) provided that all of the
individuals who participate in the Successor EPSP shall be permanent full time employees of the Corporation or an Affiliated Entity
of the Corporation or hold such other position(s) with the Affiliated Entity upon which they have been designated as Members in
accordance with Article 3 (other than Eric S. Sprott). For greater certainty, the members who participate in the Successor EPSP
may include individuals who are not Members of the Plan immediately before it terminates. The Corporation shall provide the Trustee
with the information and direction the Trustee requires in the distribution of Plan assets among the Members or Beneficiaries or
to a Successor EPSP at the time of termination of the Plan.

 

To the extent required by any national
exchange on which the Shares are listed, no Shares may be issued from treasury pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary
of May 18, 2020 provided that for the purpose of clarity, Shares may be credited to a Member’s Allocated Account beyond that
date.

 

ARTICLE 11

ALIENATION

 

All benefits payable under the Plan shall
be personal and the Member cannot anticipate, assign, convert, charge, surrender or alienate them in any way. No part of the Trust
Fund shall be transferred to a Member by way of loan or advance. Amounts vested in a Member under the Plan shall not be available
for the claims of his or her creditors.

 

    	 	C-9	 

     

    

 

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

 

		(a)	No Deemed Employment or Service Contract: The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be
deemed to constitute a contract of employment, service or partnership between a Participating Entity and any of its Employees or
to be a consideration for or condition of employment or appointment of any person. No provision of the Plan shall be deemed to
give any person the right to continue in the employ or service of a Participating Entity or to interfere with the right of a Participating
Entity to discharge, discipline or layoff any of its Employees at any time without regard to the effect which such action might
have upon such Employee's participation in the Plan or upon the benefits of such Employees or any Beneficiary.

 

		(b)	Beneficiary: Provided there are no legal restrictions preventing it, a Member may in writing name
a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any amount payable under the Plan in the event of his or her death and, where legally
permissible, he may change such beneficiary or beneficiaries. Unless a Member advises the Participating Entity otherwise in writing,
such Member's beneficiary shall be the Member's estate.
