Exhibit 4.9

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S  SECURITIES REGISTERED UNDER SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

General
These summaries are not intended to be a complete discussion of the rights of Company securities holders and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and the various documents of the Company that are referred to in the summaries, as well as reference to the Second Amended and Restated Charter and Amended and Restated Bylaws.
Authorized Capital Stock
The Second Amended and Restated Charter authorizes the issuance of up to 400,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. On March 11, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Common Stock”) by 1,000,000,000 to a total of 1,400,000,000 (the “Certificate of Incorporation Amendment”) and directed that the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment be submitted for consideration by the stockholders of the Corporation. AMC, Eric Sprott, and Mudrick Distressed Opportunity Fund Global LP and its affiliate, Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A, Boston Patriot Batterymarch ST LLC, Mudrick Distressed Opportunity Drawdown Fund, L.P., Mudrick Distressed Opportunity Drawdown Fund II, L.P., Mercer QIF Fund PLC, Mudrick Distressed Opportunity Drawdown Fund II SC, L.P., and Boston Patriot Newbury ST LLC, who collectively constitute the holders of a majority of the Common Stock, approved the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment by written consent dated March 15, 2022. The Certificate of Incorporation Amendment will not become effective until at least April  22, 2022, 20 days after April 1, 2022, the date the Company expects to distribut an Information Statement on Schedule 14C to the stockholders of the Company.
Class A Common Stock
Voting Power
Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, under the Second Amended and Restated Charter, the holders of our Common Stock possess all voting power for the election of directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. The holders of Common Stock will at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s common stockholders under the Second Amended and Restated Charter.
Dividends
Subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock, the Second Amended and Restated Charter provides that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board in its discretion out of legally available funds and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.
Election of Directors
The Second Amended and Restated Charter and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Board will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders. The term of all directors shall be for one year and will expire at the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. With the approval of the stockholders at the special meeting of the stockholders on May 29, 2020, the Board was declassified. Under the Second Amended and Restated Charter, there is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders by the holders of Common Stock.
1

Liquidation Preference
The Second Amended and Restated Charter provides that in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Common Stock will be entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them, after the rights of creditors and the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied.
Business Combinations
The Second Amended and Restated Charter provides that the Company will not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL and includes a provision that is substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, but excludes the investment funds affiliated with Mudrick Capital Acquisition Holdings LLC and their respective successors and affiliates and the investment funds affiliated with or managed by Mudrick Capital, Whitebox, Highbridge, Aristeia and Wolverine and their respective successors and affiliates from the definition of “interested stockholder.”
Pre-emption Rights
The holders of the Common Stock will not have preemptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the Common Stock.
Removal of Directors; Vacancies on the Board of Directors
The Second Amended and Restated Charter and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of the Company preferred stock, directors may be removed only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Furthermore, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of the Company preferred stock, any vacancy on the Company’s Board, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of the Board, may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and shall not be filled by a vote of the stockholders.
Corporate Opportunity
The Second Amended and Restated Charter provides that, to the extent allowed by applicable law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, does not apply with respect to the Company or any of its officers or directors in circumstances where the application of such corporate opportunity doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have. Mudrick Capital, Whitebox, Highbridge, Aristeia and Wolverine and the investment funds affiliated with them, including their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, equity holders and/or employees (including any of the foregoing who serve as officers or directors of the Company) do not have any fiduciary duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except as may otherwise be provided in separate agreement between such person or entity and the Company.
Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
As required by the DGCL, any amendment of the Second Amended and Restated Charter must first be approved by a majority of the directors then in office and, if required by law or the Second Amended and Restated Charter, thereafter be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, and a majority of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote on the amendment as a class.
The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws may be amended, altered or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company directors then in office, and may also be amended, altered or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
Our Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “HYMC.”

Warrants
Public Warrants
Each public warrant of the Company issued in the initial public offering consummated on February 12, 2018 entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Recapitalization Transaction. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a public warrant holder may exercise its public warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. The public warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Recapitalization Transaction, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company is not obligated to deliver any shares of its Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a public warrant and will have no obligation to settle such public warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No public warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their public warrants, unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such warrant exercise have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the public warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to an public warrant, the holder of such public warrant will not be entitled to exercise such public warrant and such public warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any public warrant.
Once the public warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the public warrants for redemption:
◦in whole and not in part;
◦at a price of $0.01 per public warrant;
◦upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each public warrant holder; and
◦if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the public warrant holders.
If and when the public warrants become redeemable, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the public warrants, each public warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its public warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 per share warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
If the Company calls the public warrants for redemption as described above, the Company’s management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its public warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their public warrants on a “cashless basis,” the Company’s management will consider, among other factors, the Company’s cash position, the number of public warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of its public warrants. If the Board takes advantage of this option, all holders of public warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their public warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the public warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the public warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported closing price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading 
3

day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of public warrants. If the Company’s management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the public warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a public warrant redemption. 
A holder of a public warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such public warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the public warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as specified by the holder) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a stock split-up of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each public warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of shares of Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in determining the price payable for the Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.
In addition, if the Company, at any time while the public warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of shares of Common Stock on account of such Common Stock (or other shares of our share capital into which the warrants are convertible), other than as described above or certain ordinary cash dividends, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such event. 
If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each public warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding share of Common Stock.
Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the public warrants is adjusted, as described above, the public warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the public warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the public warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the Company’s assets or other property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the public warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon 
4

the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the public warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the public warrants would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of shares of Common Stock in such transaction is payable in the form of shares of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the public warrant properly exercises the public warrant within 30 days following public disclosure of such transaction, the public warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and the Company (the “Warrant Agreement”) based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the public warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the public warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the public warrants pursuant to which the holders of the public warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the public warrants.
The public warrants have been issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the public warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then issued and outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants, including any modification or amendment to increase the exercise price or shorten the exercise period.
The public warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the public warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the public warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to the Company, for the number of public warrants being exercised. The public warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their public warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the public warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the public warrants. If, upon exercise of the public warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the public warrant holder.
The public warrants are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “HYMCW.”
Assumed Warrants of Hycroft Mining Corporation
Stockholders of the predecessor of Hycroft Mining Corporation (the “Seller”) received warrants pursuant to the warrant agreement, dated as of October 22, 2015, by and between Seller and Computershare Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Computershare Trust Company, N.A., collectively as initial warrant agent with such warrant agreement being assumed by the Company  and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC as the successor warrant agent (the “Seller Warrant Agreement”). The Seller warrants have a 7-year term. Seller and the Company elected to treat the Recapitalization Transaction as if it constituted a Fundamental Change under the Seller Warrant Agreement and each Seller warrant outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time is now exercisable to purchase shares of Common Stock.
The initial number of shares of Seller’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Seller warrants was determined by the bankruptcy court pursuant to Seller’s predecessor’s plan of reorganization. Pursuant to the Seller Warrant Agreement, the number of shares of Seller’s common stock for which a Seller warrant is exercisable, and the exercise price per share, are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, including (i) any issuance of a dividend on Seller’s common stock, payable in cash or additional shares of Seller’s 
5

common stock, (ii) any subdivision, split, reclassification or recapitalization of outstanding Seller’s common stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) any combination, reclassification or recapitalization of outstanding Seller’s common stock into a smaller number of shares. As set forth in the Seller Warrant Agreement, the exercise price of the Seller warrants on any exercise date will be equal to the product of (x) the amount obtained by dividing (A) Seller’s adjusted equity value, as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement, as of such exercise date by (B) the total share number, as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement, as of such date multiplied by (y) the cheap stock factor, as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement, as of such date. Additionally, in the case of any reclassification or capital reorganization of Seller’s capital stock, the holder of each Seller warrant outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such reclassification or reorganization shall have the right to receive upon exercise of the applicable Seller warrant, the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash or other property that such holder would have received if such Seller warrant had been exercised. As of January 19, 2021, the exercise price of each Seller warrant was adjusted to equal to $40.31 per share and each Seller warrant is exercisable into approximately 0.28055 shares of Common Stock.
Under certain circumstances, such as a liquidity event, as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement, the Seller warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis to the extent that, as of the exercise date, the fair market value, as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement, of a share of Common Stock exceeds the exercise price, which cashless exercise would reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable. In the event of a liquidity event in which the fair market value, as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement, of a share of Common Stock, as of the exercise date, exceeds the exercise price, no cashless exercise would be available. If any exercise of a Seller warrant would result in a fraction of a share of Common Stock, in lieu of issuing such fractional share, the Company may elect to make a cash payment in respect of such fractional share, in an amount equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value, as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement, of a share of Common Stock, as of the exercise date.
In addition, if the Company issues (or, as provided in the Seller Warrant Agreement, is deemed to issue), after the effective date of the Seller warrants, any additional shares, as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement, of Common Stock, without consideration or for consideration per share less than the fair market value of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance or, if such additional shares are issued (or deemed to be issued) to any restricted person, as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement, then the cheap stock factor, as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement, shall be reduced, thereby increasing the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Seller warrant is exercisable and reducing the per share exercise price of the Seller warrants.
Pursuant to the Seller Warrant Agreement, holders of Seller warrants are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder or a holder of any other securities of the Company. Holders of Seller warrants have no right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company (including appraisal rights, dissenters rights, subscription rights or otherwise), or be deemed the holder of capital stock of the Company.
Pursuant to the Seller Warrant Agreement, if the Company issues or sells equity securities to any person who was a stockholder of Seller’s predecessor on the effective date of the Seller warrants for consideration per share that is greater than the then exercise price of the Seller warrants, then each registered holder (or in the case of Seller warrants evidenced by global warrant certificates, each beneficial holder) that is an accredited investor would have the right for a period of 20 days after the Company delivers notice of such issuance or sale to such eligible holder, to participate in such issuance or sale on a pro rata basis (based on such eligible holder’s percentage ownership of shares of Common Stock) and all other outstanding options, warrants, or convertible securities that also have a pro rata right to participate in such issuance or sale.
Following the Recapitalization Transaction, eligible holders are not entitled to participate in any of the following exempted issuances: (i) issuances of equity securities in connection with the refinancing or repayment of any indebtedness or debt securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) issuances of equity securities to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers pursuant to an equity compensation plan approved by the Board, (iii) issuances of equity securities by means of a pro rata distribution to all holders of Common Stock, (iv) issuances of equity securities in a public offering, and (v) issuances of equity securities upon exercise, conversion or 
6

exchange of any equity securities that were issued in any issuance described in any of the foregoing exempted issuances. If any holder of shares of Common Stock is granted piggy-back registration rights, the holders of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Seller warrants would also be granted piggyback registration rights on substantially the same terms as such other holder.
Pursuant to the Seller Warrant Agreement, in the event of a merger of the Company into, or a consolidation of the Company with, or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to, any other person, or any merger of another person into the Company, in each case, in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock are cancelled, reclassified or converted or changed into or exchanged for securities of the Company and/or other property (including cash), and such transaction is not a liquidity event, as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement, the holder of each Seller warrant would have the right upon any subsequent exercise (and payment of the applicable exercise price) to receive (out of legally available funds) the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash and assets that such holder would have received if such Seller warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such transaction.
Pursuant to the Seller Warrant Agreement, if the Company shall be a party to or otherwise engage in any transaction or series of related transactions constituting (x) a merger of the Company into, a consolidation of the Company with, or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to, any other person, or (y) any merger of another person into the Company in which, in the case of clause (x) or clause (y), the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be cancelled, reclassified or converted or changed into or exchanged for securities of the Company or other property (including cash) or any combination of the foregoing; and (ii) such transaction or series of related transactions is not a liquidity event (as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement) (any such transaction or series of related transactions, is referred to as a “Fundamental Change” under the Seller Warrant Agreement), the holder of each Seller warrant outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Change will have the right upon any subsequent exercise (and payment of the applicable exercise price) to receive the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash and assets that such holder of a Seller warrant would have received if such Seller warrant had been exercised pursuant to the terms provided in the Seller Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such Fundamental Change (assuming such holder of a Seller warrant failed to exercise his, her or its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of stock, securities, cash or other property receivable upon such Fundamental Change); provided, however, that the amount of such stock, other securities, cash and assets that would be received upon exercise of a Seller warrant following the consummation of such Fundamental Change shall be calculated on the applicable exercise date in a manner consistent with, and on terms as nearly as equivalent as practicable to, the provisions of the Seller Warrant Agreement regarding (i) the number of securities into which the Seller warrant shall be exercisable and (ii) the exercise price for the purchase of such securities under the Seller warrant, with respect to the aggregate consideration received by the Company stockholders in such Fundamental Change. The Seller Warrant Agreement further provides that upon each Fundamental Change, appropriate adjustment shall be deemed to be made, including, without limitation, with respect to the kind and amount of stock, securities, cash or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of each Seller warrant, such that the provisions of the Seller Warrant Agreement shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to any shares of stock, securities, cash or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of each Seller warrant. If the Company is not the surviving or resulting person from such Fundamental Change, the Company may not consummate a Fundamental Change transaction unless the surviving or resulting person assumes, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Agreement, the obligation to deliver to the holders of Seller warrants such shares of stock, securities, cash or assets which such holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise of each Seller warrant.
The Seller warrants are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “HYMCZ.”
Warrants Issued in October 2020
In October 2020 the Company issued 8,333,334 units in a public offering, with each unit consisting of one share of our Common Stock, and one warrant to purchase one share of our Common Stock (the “October 2020 Warrants”) The October 2020 Warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement dated October 6, 2020 (the “October 2020 Warrant Agreement”) between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and were initially represented only by one or more global warrants deposited with the warrant agent, as custodian on behalf of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a 
7

nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC. The October 2020 Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the October 2020 Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of October 2020 Warrants, including any modification or amendment to increase the October 2020 Warrant price or shorten the exercise period, requires the approval of the registered holder of the October 2020 Warrant.
The initial exercise price of the October 2020 Warrant is $10.50 per share of Common Stock. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Common Stock.
The October 2020 Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of issuance, and at any time up to the earlier to occur of (x) the date that is five years from the date of issuance and (y) the date fixed by the Company for redemption if the Company elects to redeem the October 2020 Warrants (as described below), at which time any unexercised October 2020 Warrants will expire and cease to be exercisable. The October 2020 Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to the Company, for the number of October 2020 Warrants being exercised. The October 2020 Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their October 2020 Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the October 2020 Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the October 2020 Warrants. If, upon exercise of the October 2020 Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the October 2020 Warrant holder.
The Company may call the October 2020 Warrants for redemption:
◦in whole and not in part;
◦at a price of $0.01 per October 2020 Warrant;
◦upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each October 2020 Warrant holder; and
◦if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $17.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the October 2020 Warrant holders.
If and when the October 2020 Warrants become redeemable, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the October 2020 Warrants, each October 2020 Warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its October 2020 Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Common Stock may fall below the $17.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $10.50 per share warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
If the Company calls the October 2020 Warrants for redemption as described above, the Company’s management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its October 2020 Warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their October 2020 Warrants on a “cashless basis,” the Company’s management will consider, among other factors, the Company’s cash position, the number of October 2020 Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of its October 2020 Warrants. If the Company’s Board takes advantage of this option, all holders of October 2020 Warrants would pay the exercise price 
8

by surrendering their October 2020 Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the October 2020 Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the October 2020 Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported closing price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of October 2020 Warrants. If the Company’s management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the October 2020 Warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a October 2020 Warrant redemption.
If the Common Stock is at the time of any exercise of a October 2020 Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule), the Company may, at its option, (i) require holders of the October 2020 Warrants who exercise the October 2020 Warrants to exercise such October 2020 Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule) as described in the October 2020 Warrant Agreement and (ii) in the event the Company so elects, the Company shall not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the October 2020 Warrants, notwithstanding anything in the October 2020 Warrant Agreement to the contrary.
In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the Company’s assets or other property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the October 2020 Warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the October 2020 Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the October 2020 Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its October 2020 Warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of shares of Common Stock in such transaction is payable in the form of shares of Common Stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the October 2020 Warrant properly exercises the New Warrant within 30 days following public disclosure of such transaction, the October 2020 Warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the New Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the October 2020 Warrant Agreement) of the October 2020 Warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the October 2020 Warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the October 2020 Warrants pursuant to which the holders of the October 2020 Warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the October 2020 Warrants.
The October 2020 Warrants are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “HYMCL.”

ARTICLE 2
THE FACILITY

The Facility
2.1Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender hereby establishes in favour of the Borrower, a senior secured multi-advance reducing term credit facility (the “Facility”) in an amount equal to the Commitment amount, which shall be made available to the Borrower, or as the Borrower may direct, by way of one or more Advances made in accordance with this Agreement.

Non-Revolvement
2.2The Facility is a non-revolving facility, and any repayment or prepayment of the Facility shall not be re-borrowed.  No amount cancelled under the Facility may be subsequently reinstated.
2.3The Commitment with respect to each Advance shall automatically reduce to zero on the last day of the applicable Availability Period unless cancelled, reduced, terminated earlier or extended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Intentionally Omitted
2.4Intentionally omitted.

Term
2.5Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding principal amount of the Facility, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and all costs, fees, charges or other amounts payable hereunder from time to time, will be immediately due and payable by the Borrower to the Lender on the Maturity Date.

Use of Proceeds
2.6Except with the prior written consent of the Lender, the Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Facility only permitted under Section 2.6 of the First ARCA:

Interest
2.7Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Facility from and including the date of each Advance, as well as on all overdue amounts outstanding in respect of interest, costs or other fees, expenses or other amounts payable under the Facility Documents, in each case at a floating rate equal to 7.00% per annum plus the greater of (i) LIBOR and (ii) 1.50%, per annum, accruing daily, calculated and compounded monthly on the last day of every Interest Period, and be payable on the last Business Day of each Interest Period (each an “Interest Payment Date”) by the Borrower by way of wire transfer, net of all applicable Taxes, as well as after each of maturity, default and judgment.  If a rate of interest is not determinable at the relevant time in accordance with the definition of LIBOR, whether by virtue of any disruption, replacement or abandonment of LIBOR or otherwise, the applicable rate of interest for LIBOR as used above for the determination of the applicable rate of interest payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.7, shall be equal to: (a) if LIBOR has been succeeded by another floating rate index that has a 3 month interest accrual period, is commonly accepted by market participants, and which has begun to be quoted by a recognized reporting service, such alternate index rate as determined by the Lender at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the first Business Day of the relevant Interest Period, or (b) in any other case, the rate, expressed as a rate of interest per annum on the basis of a year of 360 days, at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by leading 
19

prime banks in the London inter-bank market, as determined by the Lender at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the first Business Day of the relevant Interest Period. 
2.8Notwithstanding Section 2.7, all interest calculated during the period commencing on the First Tranche Closing Date and ending on the last day of the calendar month which is twelve months after the First Tranche Closing Date, shall be capitalized at the end of each applicable Interest Period and thereafter be added to, and form part of, the outstanding principal amount of the Facility.  All interest capitalized under this Section 2.8 shall bear interest at the rate set out in Section 2.7 from the date on which it is capitalized, until paid in full, without duplication.

Additional Interest
2.9In addition to interest calculated and payable under Section 2.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, for each three month period (ending on May 31, August 31, November 30 and February 28 (29 if a leap year) of each year) commencing on February 28, 2021 and ending on the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender as additional interest (“Additional Interest”) on the last Business Day of each such three month period, with the first Additional Interest payment coming due on May 31, 2021, in an amount equal to $549,880.55 for each quarterly Additional Interest payment. 
2.10On any prepayment in full of the total outstanding balance of the Facility and concurrently therewith, whether such prepayment is voluntary or mandatory (including for certainty, upon any acceleration of Facility Indebtedness pursuant to Section 9.2), the Borrower shall prepay all remaining unpaid Additional Interest payment amounts calculated under Section 2.9 to and including the Maturity Date.

Original Issue Discount
2.11The First Tranche Advance shall be made to the Borrower at an original issue discount of 2% of the principal amount of the First Tranche (for greater certainty, being $1,100,000), which original issue discount shall not be credited against the interest payable pursuant to Section 2.7, but shall constitute additional interest paid in advance, which additional interest represents an annual interest rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) on such First Tranche Advance equal to 2% divided by the number of days from the First Tranche Closing Date to the Maturity Date, multiplied by 365 (“First Tranche Original Issue Discount”). 
2.12Each Subsequent Tranche Advance shall be made to the Borrower at an original issue discount of 2% of the principal amount of each Subsequent Tranche Advance, which original issue discount shall not be credited against the interest payable pursuant to Section 2.7, but shall constitute additional interest paid in advance, which additional interest represents an annual interest rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) on each Subsequent Tranche Advance equal to 2% divided by the number of days from the date of such Subsequent Tranche Advance to the Maturity Date, multiplied by 365 (together with the First Tranche Original Issue Discount, the “Original Issue Discount”).

Computations
2.13The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields.  Unless otherwise stated, wherever in this Agreement reference is made to a rate of interest “per annum” or a similar expression is used, such interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which any such interest is payable.  For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to 
20

be ascertained and divided by 360.  The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that when LIBOR is used herein as a reference rate and that while such reference rate is based on the three-month LIBOR rate, such rate shall be reset to the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate as of the first day of each Interest Period.
2.14The Credit Parties acknowledge and confirm that this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, and all provisions relating to interest and other amounts payable hereunder or thereunder, satisfies the requirements of section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) to the extent that section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) applies to the expression, statement or calculation of any rate of interest or other rate per annum hereunder or thereunder; and the Credit Parties are each able to calculate the yearly rate or percentage of interest payable under this Agreement and any other Facility Document based on the methodology set out herein and therein.

23

such required prepayment amount exceeds the Sale Sweep Credit Amount at such time, such prepayment shall be deemed made only to the extent of the Sale Sweep Credit Amount at that time and the excess shall then be due and payable in cash by such Credit Party.

The Borrower further covenants and agrees to pay all of the Lender's legal fees (on a solicitor and own-client basis) and all other costs, charges and expenses of and incidental to the recovery of all amounts owing hereunder, including but not limited to those incurred in connection with any enforcement or realization proceedings under or in connection with this Agreement and/or any of the other Facility Documents, including the Security Documents.  All amounts referred to herein will be payable upon demand.  If not paid within three Business Days of demand, all such amounts shall accrue interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.7 from the date of demand.

8.5The Borrower shall timely file all documents that must be publicly filed pursuant to Applicable Securities Legislation within the time prescribed by such Applicable Securities Legislation and make such documents available on EDGAR within such prescribed time period.  If the Borrower is not at any time subject to Applicable Securities Legislation, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender: (i) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, copies of its annual report and audited annual financial statements, and (ii) within 45 days after the end of each of the first three Fiscal Quarters of each fiscal year, interim financial statements which shall, at a minimum, contain such information required to be provided in quarterly reports by a “reporting issuer” (as such term is defined in such Applicable Securities Legislation) under the Applicable Securities Legislation.  Each of such reports will be prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Applicable Securities Legislation.

To Pay Additional Amounts
8.6Each Credit Party will, from time to time, promptly pay or make provisions satisfactory to the Lender for the payment of any additional amounts, including Taxes, which may be imposed on such Credit Party by any Applicable Law (except income tax or security transfer tax, if any) which shall be payable with respect to the Facility.
8.7Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties hereunder or under any other Facility Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Credit Party is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then:
(a)the amount payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased so that after all such required deductions or withholdings are made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 8.7), the Lender receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made, and
(b)such Credit Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
41

8.8The Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Lender) pay to the Lender an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which the Lender determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by the Lender in respect of any Facility Document. 
8.9If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Facility Document, it shall deliver to the Credit Party, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Credit Party, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Credit Party as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lender, if reasonably requested by the Credit Party, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Credit Party as will enable the Credit Party to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
8.10If the Lender (referred to in this paragraph as an “indemnified party”) determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes in respect of which it has received additional amounts pursuant to Section 8.7 or as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 8.8, it shall promptly pay to the party that paid such additional amounts or indemnity payments, as applicable, (referred to in this paragraph as an “indemnifying party”) an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of additional amounts or indemnity payments made under Sections 8.7 and 8.8  with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 8.10 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.10, in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 8.10 the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 8.10 shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
8.11The obligation of a Credit Party to pay an amount pursuant to Sections 8.7 and 8.8 hereof to an assignee or participant of the Facility shall be no greater than the obligation of the Credit Party to pay such amounts to the Lender with respect to such Facility, determined as if it had not been assigned or participated.

Further Assurances
8.13Each of the Credit Parties shall, from time to time, as may be reasonably required by the Lender, execute and deliver such further and other documents and do all matters and things which are necessary to carry out the intention and provisions of this Agreement.

Lender May Perform Covenants
8.14If any of the Credit Parties shall fail to perform any of its respective covenants contained in this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, the Lender may, upon becoming aware of such failure and upon providing prior notice to the Borrower, in its discretion, but need not, itself perform any of such covenants capable of being performed by it, but is under no obligation to do so.  All reasonable sums so required to be paid in connection with the Lender’s performance of 
42

any covenant will be paid by the Credit Parties and all sums so paid shall be payable by the Credit Parties in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4.  No such performance by the Lender of any such covenant or payment or expenditure by any Credit Party of any sums advanced or borrowed by the Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall be deemed to relieve any of the Credit Parties from any default hereunder or their respective continuing obligations hereunder.

The foregoing provisions of this subsection do not apply in any circumstances where any Indemnified Party was grossly negligent acted with wilful misconduct or not in good faith in relation to their obligations hereunder. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any transfer and/or assignment by the Lender of any of its rights and/or obligations; and 
(b)the Lender may act and rely, and shall be protected in acting and relying upon, any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, letter, telegram, cable, facsimile or other paper or electronic document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by or on behalf of the proper party or parties.

(a)the presence or release of any Hazardous Material, by any means or for any reason, on the Secured Assets, whether or not the release or presence of such Hazardous Material was under the control, care or management of any Credit Party or of a previous owner, or of a tenant; or
51

(b)the breach or alleged breach of any Environmental Laws by the Credit Party.
The foregoing provisions of this Section do not apply in any circumstances where any Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or acted with wilful misconduct in relation to their obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE 13 
MISCELLANEOUS

Amendments and Waivers
13.1No amendment to any provision of the Facility Documents shall be effective unless it is in writing and has been signed by the Lender and the Credit Parties who are party to that Facility Document, and no waiver of any provision of any Facility Document, or consent to any departure by the relevant Credit Party therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and has been signed by the Lender.  Any such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative
13.2No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Facility Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies under the Facility Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to the Lender.

Survival
13.3All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in any of the Facility Documents shall, except to the extent otherwise provided therein, survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each Advance, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any part of the Facility Indebtedness remains outstanding or any other obligation remains unpaid or any obligation to perform any other act hereunder or under any other Facility Document remains unsatisfied.

Benefits of Agreement
13.4The Facility Documents are entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, and no other Person (other than the Indemnified Parties) shall be a direct or indirect beneficiary of, or shall have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, any Facility Document.

Binding Effect; Assignment; Syndication
13.5This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the parties hereto and thereafter shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  
13.6None of the Credit Parties shall have the right to transfer or assign any of their rights and obligations hereunder or under the other Facility Documents or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of the Lender, which may be withheld in the Lender’s sole discretion. 
53

13.7The Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer or grant participations in all or any portion of the Lender’s interests, rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents to any Person other than a Restricted Assignee upon notice to, and without the consent of, the Borrower.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing for a period of not less than 30 days, the Lender may sell, assign, transfer or grant participations in all or any portion of the Lender’s interests, rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents to any Person, including any Restricted Assignee, upon notice to, and without the consent of, the Borrower.  In the event of any sale, assignment or transfer by the Lender of all of its interests, rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents, upon notice thereof to the Borrower, the purchaser, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) shall be deemed the “Lender” for all purposes of the Facility Documents with respect to the rights and obligations sold, assigned or transferred (as the case may be) to it, the obligations of the Lender so sold, assigned or transferred (as the case may be) shall thereupon terminate and the selling, assigning or transferring (as the case may be) Lender shall be released from all obligations to the Credit Parties in respect thereof.  The Credit Parties shall, from time to time upon request of the Lender at the Lender’s expense, enter into such amendments to the Facility Documents and execute and deliver such other documents as shall be necessary to effect any such sales, assignments or transfers and maintain the first priority perfected Encumbrance (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) created by the Security Documents.  The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that the Lender is authorized to disclose to any purchaser, assignee, transferee or participant and any prospective purchaser, assignee, transferee or participant any and all financial and other information concerning the Credit Parties, their respective properties and assets and the Facility and any other transactions contemplated herein, whether received by the Lender or derivative thereof, in connection with the Lender’s credit evaluation, internal reporting, or other activities reasonably incidental to the management or administration of the Facility, including in connection with the enforcement thereof. 

Maximum Return
13.8Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document:
(a)in this Section 13.8, “interest” and “credit advanced” have the meanings ascribed to them in section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), and “Maximum Rate” means the highest effective annual rate of interest calculated in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles, on the credit advanced under an agreement or arrangement, which is lawfully permitted under section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada);
(b)if, by entering into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, the Lender has entered into an agreement or arrangement to receive interest, on the credit advanced under this Agreement, in an amount which exceeds the Maximum Rate, then the interest will be reduced to the extent required to eliminate such excess (in the manner specified below);
(c)if interest in the aggregate, on the credit advanced under this Agreement, is or is about to be received in an amount which exceeds the Maximum Rate, then the interest will be reduced, with retroactive effect, to the extent required to eliminate such excess (in the manner specified below), and if and to the extent so reduced the Lender will return the same; and
(d)any reduction of interest pursuant to Section 13.8(b) or Section 13.8(c) will be made in the following order (in each case, only to the extent required): firstly, a reduction of the amount or rate of interest payable under Section 2.7; secondly, a reduction of the amounts to be paid on account of the Lender’s legal fees and other out-of-pocket 
54

expenses; and lastly, a reduction of any other amounts which constitute interest, as the Lender may determine.
In the event of a dispute in relation to this Section 13.8, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries qualified for a period of at least ten (10) years and appointed by the Lender will be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.  A certificate of an authorized signing officer of the Lender as to each amount, rate and/or other component of interest payable hereunder or in connection herewith from time to time shall be conclusive evidence of such amount, rate and/or other component, absent manifest error.

Judgment Currency
13.9If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Lender could purchase Dollars with such other currency at the buying spot rate of exchange in the foreign exchange markets on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which any such judgment, or any relevant part thereof, is given.
13.10The obligations of the Credit Parties in respect of any sum due to the Lender hereunder and under the other Facility Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency the Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase Dollars with such other currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender in Dollars, each of the Credit Parties agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Lender against such loss.

Entire Agreement
13.11The Facility Documents reflect the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein and therein and supersede any prior agreements, commitments, drafts, communication, discussions and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto, including but not limited to the Term Sheet.

Joint and Several
13.12The covenants, agreements, representations, warranties, acknowledgments of the Credit Parties in this Agreement shall constitute the joint and several covenants, agreements, representations, warranties, acknowledgments of the Credit Parties and shall be read and construed accordingly.
55

Payments Set Aside
13.13To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Lender, or the Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of America, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), the Winding-up and Restructuring Act (Canada), the receivership laws of any Relevant Jurisdiction or other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws, or otherwise, then to the extent of such payment or the proceeds of such set-off, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred. 

Severability
13.4Whenever possible, each provision of the Facility Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all Applicable Laws. If, however, any provision of any of the Facility Documents shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such Applicable Law in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such Applicable Law, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of such Facility Document, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Counterparts and facsimile
13.15This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and such executed counterparts may be delivered by electronic transmission of an authorized signature (including in pdf) and each such counterpart shall be deemed to form part of one and the same document.

Confidentiality
13.16The Lender acknowledges the confidential nature of the financial and operational information and data provided and to be provided to it by the Credit Parties pursuant hereto (“Information”).  The Lender will only use such Information and data for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure thereof by it to any other Person in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature; provided however, that the Lender may disclose any part of such Information: 
(a)to its Affiliates, and to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, accountants or other representatives and professional advisors for purposes of the transactions contemplated by the Facility Documents, provided such recipient has been informed of the confidential nature of such Information;
(b)to any actual or potential participant or assignee which has agreed in writing to maintain such Information in confidence on terms substantially similar to this Section 13.16;
56

(c)to any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Lender in order to comply with any Applicable Law or as otherwise required by Applicable Law or pursuant to subpoena or other legal process;
(d)to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or other regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates;
(e)in connection with any action or proceeding or other exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, under any other Facility Documents or the Sprott Royalty;
(f)is available to the Lender or any of their Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; 
(g)which at the time it was provided to the Lender was in the public domain; 
(h)which after it was provided to the Lender is in the public domain other than through a breach by such Lender of this Section 13.16; and
(i)to the extent Borrower consents to such disclosure.

Accounting.
13.17Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with U.S. GAAP in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 7.1(bb); provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards Codification section 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein, or (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.  If at any time any change in U.S. GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Facility Document, and the Borrower or the Lender shall so request, the Lender and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in U.S. GAAP; provided, that until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP prior to such change therein and the Borrower shall provide to the Lender reconciliation statements showing the difference in such calculation, together with the delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements required hereunder.

Amendment and Restatement
13.18This Agreement shall amend and restate and supersede the First ARCA in its entirety and the First ARCA as so amended and restated is hereby ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto.  All references to the term “Credit Agreement” as defined and contained in any documents delivered in connection with the First ARCA shall, from and after the date hereof, be deemed to refer to this agreement without the need for any amendment to such documents.
13.19Each of the Credit Parties hereby acknowledges and confirms that it and all of its present and future property and assets are and continue to be bound by all of the provisions of each of the Guarantees and Security Documents to which such Credit Party is party, in the same manner, to 
57

the same extent and with the same effect notwithstanding the amendments and restatements reflected in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and confirms that (i) it is liable for and shall observe and perform the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Borrower contemplated in this Agreement, (ii) all present and future property and assets of whatever nature and kind of each of the Credit Parties shall be subject to the Encumbrances granted pursuant to the Security Documents, and (iii) each of the Facility Documents to which each Credit Party is party is, and shall continue, in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, in the same manner, to the same extent and with the same effect notwithstanding the amendments and restatements reflected in this Agreement.
