NexTech AR Solutions Corp.

34 Carlaw Avenue, Suite 304

Toronto, ON M4M 2T1

Attention: Evan Gappelberg, Chief Executive Officer

Dear Sir:

Based on the terms and conditions set out below, Mackie Research Capital Corporation (the “Underwriter”), as sole book-runner and underwriter hereby offers to purchase for resale from NexTech AR Solutions Corp. (the “Corporation”), and the Corporation, by its acceptance of this offer agrees to issue and sell to the Underwriter, at the Closing Time (as defined below), an aggregate of 2,610,000 units (the “Initial Units”) of the Corporation at a purchase price of $5.00 per Initial Unit (the “Offering Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation of $13,050,000.

The Corporation hereby grants to the Underwriter an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to an additional 391,500 units of the Corporation (the “Over-Allotment Units” and together with the Initial Units, the “Units”) at the Offering Price for additional gross proceeds of up to $1,957,500, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the Offering (as hereinafter defined) and for market stabilization purposes. The Over-Allotment Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, and from time to time, by the Underwriter, by giving written notice to the Corporation on or before a date that is not later than 30 days following the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) and shall be exercisable to acquire (i) Over-Allotment Units at the Offering Price, (ii) additional Common Shares (as hereinafter defined), at a purchase price of $4.7286 per Common Share (the “Over-Allotment Shares”), and/or (iii) additional Warrants (as hereinafter defined), at a purchase price of $0.5429 per Warrant (or $0.2714 per one-half of one Warrant) (the “Over-Allotment Warrants”, and together with the Over-Allotment Units and the Over-Allotment Shares, the “Over-Allotment Securities”), at the discretion of the Underwriter, provided that no more than the aggregate of 391,500 additional Common Shares and 195,750 additional Warrants are issued pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Any such election to purchase the Over-Allotment Units may be exercised only by written notice from the Underwriter to the Corporation by 8:00 a.m. (PST) on or before the 30th day following the Closing Date, such notice to set forth: (i) the aggregate number of Common Shares and/or Warrants to be purchased; and (ii) the Closing Date for the purchase of such securities, provided that such date shall not be less than three Business Days (as hereinafter defined) following the date of such notice. The Initial Units and the Over-Allotment Units are collectively referred to herein as the “Units” and the offering of the Units by the Corporation is hereinafter referred to as the “Offering”.

Each Unit shall be comprised of one Common Share of the Corporation (a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share of the Corporation (a “Warrant Share”) for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date at an exercise price of $6.00 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment in certain events. If the daily volume weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the Common Shares on the NEO Exchange Inc. (“NEO”) (or such other stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume occurs) for any period of 15 consecutive trading days exceeds $10.00, the Corporation may, at any time after such an occurrence, upon providing written notice (via news release) to the holders of the Warrants (the “Acceleration Notice”), accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of the Acceleration Notice.

The Warrants shall be duly and validly created and issued pursuant to, and governed by, a warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”) to be entered into between Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Warrant Agent”), in its capacity as warrant agent thereunder, and the Corporation to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined herein). The description of the Warrants herein is a summary only and is subject to the specific attributes and detailed provisions of the Warrants to be set forth in the Warrant Indenture. In case of any inconsistency between the description of the Warrants in this Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and the terms of the Warrants as set forth in the Warrant Indenture, the provisions of the Warrant Indenture shall govern.

The Units may be distributed in each of the provinces of Canada other than the Province of Québec (the “Qualifying Jurisdictions”) by the Underwriter pursuant to the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined). Any reference in this Agreement hereafter to “purchasers” shall be taken to be a reference to the Underwriter, as the initial committed purchaser. Subject to applicable Laws and the terms of this Agreement, the Units may also be distributed outside of Canada and the United States where they may be lawfully sold on a basis exempt from the prospectus, registration and similar requirements of any such jurisdictions, provided that the Corporation is provided notice of and consents to such sales and that no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arises and the Corporation does not thereafter become subject to continuous disclosure obligations in such jurisdictions.

In consideration of the agreement of the Underwriter to purchase the Units and to offer them to the public pursuant to the Prospectus, the Corporation agrees to pay to the Underwriter, at the Closing Time (as hereinafter defined), a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds arising from the Offering (the “Underwriting Fee”), such Underwriting Fee also being applicable on gross proceeds arising from the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, where any such exercise occurs. The obligation of the Corporation to pay the Underwriting Fee shall arise at the Closing Time and the Underwriting Fee shall be fully earned by the Underwriter at that time. As additional compensation for the services provided, the Corporation will grant to the Underwriter, upon and subject to the provisions of Section 12 hereof, such number of Compensation Options (as hereinafter defined) equal to 7.0% of the number of Units issued pursuant to the Offering, including the amount subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, as applicable. At the Closing Time, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Underwriter (or its agents, as the case may be) the Compensation Option Certificates (as hereinafter defined).

The Underwriter shall be entitled (but not obligated) in connection with the Offering to retain as sub-agents other registered securities dealers and may receive subscriptions for Units from subscribers from other registered dealers, at no additional cost to the Corporation. The fee payable to any such Selling Firm (as hereinafter defined) shall be for the account of the Underwriter.

The Underwriter may offer the Units at a price less than the Offering Price as described in further detail in Section 4(d) below, in compliance with Canadian Securities Laws (as hereinafter defined) and the disclosure concerning the same contained in the Offering Documents (as hereinafter defined).

Section 4 Distribution and Certain Obligations of the Underwriter

(a) The Underwriter shall, and shall require any investment dealer or broker (other than the Underwriter) with which the Underwriter has a contractual relationship in respect of the distribution of the Units (each, a “Selling Firm”) to agree to, comply with applicable Laws, including Canadian Securities Laws, in connection with the distribution hereunder and shall offer the Units for sale to the public directly and through Selling Firms upon the terms and conditions set out in the Offering Documents and this Agreement. The Underwriter shall, and shall require any Selling Firm to, offer for sale to the public and sell the Units only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale or sold, provided the Underwriter or Selling Firm is appropriately registered in such jurisdiction. The Underwriter shall: (i) use all reasonable efforts to complete and cause each Selling Firm to complete the distribution of the Units as soon as reasonably practicable; and (ii) promptly notify the Corporation when, in its opinion, the Underwriter and the Selling Firms have ceased distribution of the Units and provide a breakdown of the number of Units distributed in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions where such breakdown is required for the purpose of calculating fees payable to the Securities Commissions.

(d) Without affecting the obligation of the Underwriter to purchase the Initial Units from the Corporation at the Offering Price in accordance with this Agreement, after the Underwriter has made reasonable commercial efforts to sell all of the Initial Units at the Offering Price, the Offering Price may be decreased by the Underwriter and further changed from time to time to an amount not greater than the Offering Price specified herein.

(a) Subject to Section 14(f), the Corporation agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and its affiliates and subsidiaries and the directors, officers, partners, agents, employees and each other person, if any, controlling the Underwriter or its subsidiaries or affiliates and each of the shareholders of the Underwriter (each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses (other than losses of profits), expenses, claims (including shareholder actions, derivative or otherwise), actions, damages, not including indirect, special and consequential damages, and liabilities, joint or several, including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings, investigations or claims and the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel that may be incurred in advising with respect to and/or defending any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim that may be made or threatened against any Indemnified Party or in enforcing this indemnity (collectively, the “Claims”) to which any Indemnified Party may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity, insofar as the Claims relate to, are caused by, result from, arise out of or are based upon, directly or indirectly, from or in consequence of the performance of professional services rendered to the Corporation by the Indemnified Parties hereunder or otherwise in connection with the matters referred to in this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(i) any breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Corporation in this Agreement or the failure of the Corporation to comply with any of its obligations hereunder;

(ii) any information or statement (except any information or statement relating solely to an Indemnified Party and provided in writing by the Indemnified Party for inclusion in such document) contained in any of the Offering Documents or any other document or material filed or delivered by or on behalf of the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement being or being alleged to be a misrepresentation or untrue or any omission or alleged omission to state in those documents any material fact required to be stated in those documents or necessary to make any of the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made;

(iii) any order made or any inquiry, investigation or proceeding instituted, threatened or announced by any court, securities regulatory authority, stock exchange or by any other competent authority, based upon any untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation or alleged untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation (except a statement, omission or misrepresentation relating solely to an Indemnified Party provided in writing by the Indemnified Party) contained in any of the Offering Documents or any other document or material filed or delivered by or on behalf of the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement, preventing or restricting the trading in or the sale or distribution of the Common Shares;

(iv) the Corporation not complying with any requirement of the Canadian Securities Laws, including the Corporation’s non-compliance with any statutory requirement to make any document available for inspection; or

(v) any failure or alleged failure to make timely disclosure of a material change by the Corporation, where such failure or alleged failure occurs during the Offering or during the period of distribution or where such failure relates to the Offering or the Units and may give or gives rise to any liability under any Law in any jurisdiction which is in force on the date of this Agreement.

35 

(b) The Corporation agrees to waive any right they may have of first requiring an Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or claim payment from any other person before claiming under this indemnity. The Corporation also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Corporation or any person asserting Claims on behalf of or in right of the Corporation for or in connection with the Offering except to the extent any Losses suffered by the Corporation are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable to have resulted from the negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

(c) The Corporation will not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) unless the Corporation has acknowledged in writing that the Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified in respect of such Claim and such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such Claim without any admission of negligence, misconduct, liability or responsibility by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

(d) Promptly after receiving notice of a Claim against an Indemnified Party or receipt of notice of the commencement of any investigation which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Corporation, the Indemnified Party will notify the Corporation in writing of the particulars thereof, provided that the omission so to notify the Corporation shall not relieve the Corporation of any liability which the Corporation may have to the Indemnified Party except and only to the extent that any such delay in or failure to give notice as herein required prejudices the defense of such Claim or results in any material increase in the liability which the Corporation has under this indemnity. The Corporation shall have 14 days after receipt of the notice to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or defense of the Claim. If the Corporation undertakes, conducts and controls the settlement or defense of the Claim, the relevant Indemnified Parties shall have the right to participate in the settlement or defense of the Claim, at the expense of the relevant Indemnified Party to the extent additional counsel or other external advisors are retained by such Indemnified Party.

(e) In any such Claim, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate legal counsel to act on such Indemnified Party’s behalf, which counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation if: (i) the Corporation does not promptly assume the defence of the Claim; (ii) the Corporation agrees to separate representation for the Indemnified Party, or (iii) the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel in writing that there is an actual or potential conflict in the Corporation’s and the Indemnified Party’s respective interests or additional defences are available to the Indemnified Party, which makes representation by the same counsel inappropriate; provided that in any event the Corporation will not be responsible for the costs of more than one counsel for all of the Indemnified Parties.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing indemnity shall cease to apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that such Losses to which the Indemnified Party may be subject were caused by the negligence, dishonesty, fraud or wilful misconduct of the Indemnified Party. For greater certainty, the Corporation and the Underwriter agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Underwriter to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Underwriter with reasonable grounds for believing the Offering Documents contained no misrepresentation shall constitute “negligence”, “dishonesty”, “fraud” or “willful misconduct” for the purposes of this Section 14 or otherwise disentitle the Underwriter from indemnification hereunder.

36 

(g) The Corporation agrees that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Corporation and/or the Underwriter by any governmental commission or regulatory authority or any stock exchange or other entity having regulatory authority, either domestic or foreign, shall investigate the Corporation and/or the Indemnified Parties shall be required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of the performance of professional services rendered to the Corporation by the Underwriter, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ their own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Underwriter for time spent by the Indemnified Parties in connection therewith) and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Indemnified Parties in connection therewith shall be paid by the Corporation as they occur.

(h) To the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to this Agreement, the Underwriter shall obtain and hold the right and benefit of the above-noted indemnity in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

(i) The Corporation agrees to reimburse the Underwriter for the time spent by its personnel in connection with any Claim at their normal per diem rates.

(j) The indemnity and the contribution obligations of the Corporation pursuant to Section 15 shall be in addition to any liability which the Corporation may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the personnel of the Underwriter and shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Corporation and any of the Indemnified Parties. The foregoing provisions shall survive the completion of professional services rendered under this Agreement or any termination of the authorization given by this Agreement.

Section 15 Contribution

(a) In the event that the indemnity of the Corporation provided for in Section 14 hereof is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable as being contrary to public policy or is unavailable for any other reason, the Underwriter and the Corporation shall severally, and not jointly, contribute to the aggregate of all Claims and all Losses of the nature contemplated in Section 14 hereof and suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties in proportions as is appropriate to reflect: (i) the relative benefits received by the Underwriter, on the one hand (being the Underwriting Fee), and the relative benefits received by the Corporation, as applicable, on the other hand (being the gross proceeds derived from the sale of the Units less the Underwriting Fee), (ii) the relative fault of the Corporation, on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand, and (iii) relevant equitable consideration; provided that the Corporation shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claim any excess of such amount over the amount paid or payable to the Underwriter or any other Indemnified Party under this Agreement. For greater certainty and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Underwriter shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the Underwriting Fee or any portion thereof actually received. However, no party who has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgement to have engaged in any fraud, dishonesty, wilful misconduct or negligence shall be entitled to claim contribution from any person who has not been so determined to have engaged in such fraud, dishonesty, wilful misconduct or negligence.

37 

(b) Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receiving notice of commencement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this section, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it may have otherwise under this section, except to the extent that the party from whom contribution may be sought is materially prejudiced by such omission. The right to contribution provided herein shall be in addition and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Underwriter may have by statute or otherwise by law.

Section 16 Expenses

The Corporation will be responsible for all expenses related to the Offering, whether or not the Offering is completed, including, but not limited to, the fees and disbursements of the Corporation’s legal counsel, the fees and disbursements of the Underwriter’s legal counsel (up to an aggregate maximum of $100,000, exclusive of applicable taxes and disbursements, for legal fees for Canadian legal counsel to the Underwriter), the fees and disbursements of accountants and auditors, the fees and disbursements of translators, the fees and disbursements of other applicable experts, the expenses related to road-shows and marketing activities, printing costs, filing fees, stock exchange fees, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Underwriter and taxes on all of the foregoing.

Section 17 Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. In the event of any dispute regarding the Agreement, the parties hereto submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.

Section 18 Survival of Warranties, Representations, Covenants and Agreements

Except as expressly set out herein, all warranties, representations, covenants and agreements of the Corporation and the Underwriter herein contained or contained in documents submitted or required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the purchase by the Underwriter and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Underwriter or the Corporation, as the case may be, regardless of the Closing of the sale of the Units, any subsequent disposition of the Units by the Underwriter or the termination of the Underwriter’s obligations under this Agreement for a period ending on the date that is two years following the Closing Date and shall not be limited or prejudiced by any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter in accordance with the preparation of the Offering Documents or the distribution of the Units or otherwise, and the Corporation agrees that the Underwriter shall not be presumed to know of the existence of a claim against the Corporation under this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the purchase and sale of the Units as a result of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter in accordance with the preparation of the Offering Documents or the distribution of the Units or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions contained in this Agreement in any way related to indemnification or contribution obligations shall survive and continue in full force and effect, indefinitely.
