Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the respective meanings specified in the Purchase Agreement.  The Purchase Agreement, as Amended by this Amendment, is referred to herein as the "Agreement".

WHEREAS, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Investor purchased 3,000 shares of convertible Preferred Stock of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of US$3,000,000.00 (the "Transaction");

WHEREAS, as part of the Transaction, the Company agreed (i) on or prior to the fourteenth day after the Closing, to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of the Preferred Shares underlying the Preferred Stock (the "Registrable Securities"), and (ii) to have the registration statement declared effective by the 90th day following the Closing;

WHEREAS, the Company has breached their obligations to file a registration statement within 14 days of the Closing and to have a registration statement for the Registrable Securities declared effective by the 90th day following the Closing;

WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this First Amendment; and

WHEREAS,  the  Company  and  Investor  now  desire  to  amend  the  Purchase

Agreement as provided below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby amend and restate the First Amendment in its entirety as follows:

Rights; Other.

SECTION 1.Issuance of Additional Common Shares; Registration

(a) The Company initially agreed that on or prior to the fourteenth day following the Closing, it would prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of all Preferred Shares (collectively, the "Registrable Securities") not already covered by an existing and effective registration statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the 1933 Act. The Company further agreed to have such Registration Statement declared effective within 90 days of the Closing. In consideration for not having timely filed the registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities, the Company agrees to issue, register, and deliver, if certificated, to Investor 250,000 Common Shares of the Company (the "Additional Shares") upon obtaining Nasdaq's approval of the listing of the Additional Shares on Nasdaq within the time period set forth below.

- 1 -

(b) The Company has paid the dividends owing to date, and shall pay on April 1, 2021, all outstanding dividends accrued from January 1, 2021 through to the date of conversion, or in the event of no conversion then March 31, 2021, on the convertible Preferred Stock of the Company to the Investor.

(c) The Company further agrees that if requested by Investor to permit resales by Investor of the Additional Shares and the Preferred Shares underlying the Preferred Stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (to the extent not previously registered) ("Rule 144") any other available securities law exemption, and the Company agrees to pay the reasonable legal fees and expenses of Investor in connection with such resales.

(d) If the Company fails to issue to Investor the Additional Shares and/or prepare and file a Registration Statement covering the Additional Shares within thirty (30) days of the Amendment Effective Date for their registration and listing on Nasdaq, and no other Registration Statement is effective to cover the registration of the Additional Shares for listing on Nasdaq (the "Late Fee Trigger Date"), for so long as any of the conditions that have caused the Late Fee to accrue continue to exist (excluding the regulatory approval of the issuance of Additional Shares and their registration on Nasdaq as freely tradable shares, but including the failure by the Company to file a Listing of Additional Shares or file a registration statement for the Additional Shares on Nasdaq), the Company agrees to pay Investor a two percent (2%) monthly penalty on Investor's aggregate value of the Additional Shares, calculated for such purposes as the product of 250,000 multiplied by the Nasdaq official closing price as of the Amendment Effective Date, from and after the Late Fee Trigger Date, accruing daily, compounded annually, and payable on the 1st day of each calendar month ("Late Fee").

(e) Investor acknowledges that the Company may include the Additional Shares in a Registration Statement to be filed under an SEC Form F-1 (as the Company is currently a foreign private issuer for purposes of SEC filings) as part of an additional financing (the "Subsequent Financing"). The Investor waives any objections to the Company completing the first Subsequent Financing to occur after the Amendment Effective Date, and only to the extent that all of the Additional Shares are covered by the Registration Statement for such Subsequent Financing.

(f)  Section 7.7 of the Purchase Agreement, which restricted short sales by Investor, is hereby deleted in its entirety.

SECTION 2.Follow-On Closing. The Company shall deliver to the Investor a certificate or DRS representing the Additional Shares, registered in such name or names as the Investor may designate, representing the Additional Shares, upon approval by Nasdaq of such issuance, to be released to the Investor immediately upon the Amendment Effective Date (the "Follow-On Closing Date").

SECTION 3.Investment Representations and Covenants.

(b) The Company hereby represents, warrants, and covenants that the conditions to the Follow-On Closing Date listed in Section 4(a)(i) through (v) are all true and correct in all material respects and all actions required to be taken to make sure such statement are true and correct, have been taken by the Company.
