Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by an Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities.

In addition, effective upon the filing of the Initial Material Change Report, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Buyers or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate. 


(2) Additional Closings. The Company shall, on or before 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the first (1st) Trading Day after the Company receives (or delivers to any Buyer) an Additional Closing Notice either issue a press release (each, an "Additional Press Release") or file a material change report with the Securities Commissions in the Reporting Jurisdictions describing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by applicable Canadian Securities Laws (the "Additional Material Change Report", and together with the Initial Material Change Report, the "Material Change Reports"), in each case reasonably acceptable to such Buyer participating in such Additional Closing, disclosing that "an institutional investor" has elected to deliver an Additional Closing Notice to the Company or the Company has elected to effect an Additional Closing, as applicable.

In addition, effective upon the filing of the Additional Material Change Report, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Buyers or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate

(ii) Limitations on Disclosure. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Buyer with any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the date hereof without the express prior written consent of such Buyer (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer's sole discretion). In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing covenants, including, without limitation, Section 4(r) of this Agreement, or any of the covenants or agreements contained in any other Transaction Document, by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of such Buyer), in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the Transaction Documents, subject to at least two (2) Trading Day prior written notice to the Company, such Buyer shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such breach or such material, non-public information, as applicable, without the prior approval by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. No Buyer shall have any liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, shareholders or agents, for any such disclosure. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any Buyer shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make the Press Release and any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the Material Change Reports and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) each Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Without the prior written consent of the applicable Buyer (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer's sole discretion), the Company shall not (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and affiliates to not) disclose the name of such Buyer in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise, except as required under applicable Canadian Securities Laws.

(iii) Other Confidential Information. Disclosure Failures; Disclosure Delay Payments. In addition to other remedies set forth in this Section 4(k), and without limiting anything set forth in any other Transaction Document, at any time after any Closing Date if the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, provides any Buyer with material non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, the "Confidential Information"), the Company shall, on or prior to the applicable Required Disclosure Date (as defined below), publicly disclose such Confidential Information on a material change report or otherwise (each, a "Disclosure"). From and after such Disclosure, the Company shall have disclosed all Confidential Information provided to such Buyer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon such Disclosure, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Buyers or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate. In the event that the Company fails to effect such Disclosure on or prior to the Required Disclosure Date and such Buyer shall have possessed Confidential Information for at least two (2) consecutive Trading Days (each, a "Disclosure Failure"), then, as partial relief for the damages to such Buyer by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to buy or sell Common Shares after such Required Disclosure Date (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to such Buyer an amount in cash equal to the greater of (I) one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate principal of Notes purchased by such Buyer hereunder and (II) the applicable Disclosure Restitution Amount, on each of the following dates (each, a "Disclosure Delay Payment Date"): (i) on the date of such Disclosure Failure and (ii) on every thirty (30) day anniversary such Disclosure Failure until the earlier of (x) the date such Disclosure Failure is cured and (y) such time as all such non-public information provided to such Buyer shall cease to be Confidential Information (as evidenced by a certificate, duly executed by an authorized officer of the Company to the foregoing effect) (such earlier date, as applicable, a "Disclosure Cure Date"). Following the initial Disclosure Delay Payment for any particular Disclosure Failure, without limiting the foregoing, if a Disclosure Cure Date occurs prior to any thirty (30) day anniversary of such Disclosure Failure, then such Disclosure Delay Payment (prorated for such partial month) shall be made on the second (2nd) Business Day after such Disclosure Cure Date. The payments to which an Investor shall be entitled pursuant to this Section (iii) are referred to herein as "Disclosure Delay Payments." In the event the Company fails to make Disclosure Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Disclosure Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. 


(iv) For the purpose of this Agreement the following definitions shall apply:

(1) "Disclosure Failure Market Price" means, as of any Disclosure Delay Payment Date, the price computed as the quotient of (I) the sum of the five (5) highest VWAPs (as defined in the Notes) of the Common Shares during the applicable Disclosure Restitution Period (as defined below), divided by (II) five (5) (such period, the "Disclosure Failure Measuring Period").

(2) "Disclosure Restitution Amount" means, as of any Disclosure Delay Payment Date, the product of (x) difference of (I) the Disclosure Failure Market Price less (II) the lowest purchase price, per Common Share, of any Common Shares issued or issuable to such Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, multiplied by (y) 10% of the aggregate daily dollar trading volume (as reported on Bloomberg (as defined in the Notes)) of the Common Shares on the Principal Market for each Trading Day (as defined in the Notes) either (1) with respect to the initial Disclosure Delay Payment Date, during the period commencing on the applicable Required Disclosure Date through and including the Trading Day immediately prior to the initial Disclosure Delay Payment Date or (2) with respect to each other Disclosure Delay Payment Date, during the period commencing the immediately preceding Disclosure Delay Payment Date through and including the Trading Day immediately prior to such applicable Disclosure Delay Payment Date (such applicable period, the "Disclosure Restitution Period").


(3) "Required Disclosure Date" means (x) if such Buyer authorized the delivery of such Confidential Information, either (I) if the Company and such Buyer have mutually agreed upon a date (as evidenced by an e-mail or other writing) of Disclosure of such Confidential Information, such agreed upon date or (II) otherwise, the seventh (7th) calendar day after the date such Buyer first received any Confidential Information or (y) if such Buyer did not authorize the delivery of such Confidential Information, the first (1st) Business Day after such Buyer's receipt of such Confidential Information.

(l) Additional Registration Statements. Until the 60th calendar day after the Initial Closing Date (the "Applicable Date"), the Company shall not, without consent of the Buyers, file (or complete a distribution of securities pursuant to) a prospectus, registration statement or an offering statement under the 1933 Act or Canadian Securities Laws relating to securities that are not the Underlying Securities.

(m) Additional Issuance of Securities. The Company agrees that for the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of (i) the date immediately following the 60th calendar day after the Initial Closing Date, and (ii) the date on which the Common Shares are listed for trading on NASDAQ (the "Restricted Period"), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any "equity security" (as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the 1933 Act), any Common Share Equivalents (as defined below), (any such issuance, offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement (whether occurring during the Restricted Period or at any time thereafter) is referred to as a "Subsequent Placement"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(m) shall not apply in respect of the issuance of (i) Common Shares or any Common Shares Equivalents, as applicable; provided that, any such Person enters into a lock up agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Buyers which shall prohibit the direct or indirect sale, transfer or disposition of such Common Shares or Common Stock Equivalents, as applicable, to any Person during the Restricted Period; provided further, that (x) no lock-up agreement shall be required to the extent such Common Shares and/or Common Shares issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Shares and/or Common Share Equivalent, as applicable, are restricted securities ineligible to be resold by any holder thereof on the Principal Market (and any Eligible Market) during the Restricted Period and (y) the Required Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive the requirement for such Person to enter into a lock up agreement; (ii) the Conversion Shares, (iii) the Commitment Shares and (iv) Common Shares issued pursuant to the Permitted ATM (as defined below) (each of the foregoing in clauses (i) through (iv), collectively the "Excluded Securities").

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Notes. 


(n) Reservation of Shares. Until the later of (A) the Additional Closing Expiration Date and (B) such date no Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than the maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of all the Notes then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof (z) the Notes are convertible at the Conversion Price as of such date of determination, and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes set forth in the Notes) (collectively, the "Required Reserve Amount"); provided that at no time shall the number of Common Shares reserved pursuant to this Section 4(n) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any conversion and/or redemption, as applicable of Notes. If at any time the number of Common Shares authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company's obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount.

(o) Limitations on Issuances or Conversions. The Company shall not effect the issuance of any Underlying Securities, as applicable, and the Buyers shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Notes or receive Commitment Shares hereunder, as applicable, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof of thereof and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, any Buyer together with the other Attribution Parties (as defined below) collectively would beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, in excess of 9.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Buyer and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares held by the Buyer and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Common Shares which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Notes beneficially owned by the Buyer or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred shares or warrants) beneficially owned by the Buyer or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 4(o). "Attribution Parties" means, collectively, the following Persons and entities: (i) any investment vehicle, including, any funds, feeder funds or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after any applicable Closing Date, directly or indirectly managed or advised by the Buyer's investment manager or any of its Affiliates or principals, (ii) any direct or indirect Affiliates of the Buyer or any of the foregoing, (iii) any Person acting or who could be deemed to be acting as a "group" (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and as defined in Rule 13d-5 thereunder) together with the Buyer or any of the foregoing and (iv) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership or control, whether directly or indirectly, of the Common Shares would or could be aggregated (including if such Persons were acting jointly or in concert within the meaning of Canadian Securities Laws) with the Buyer's and the other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act, the provisions of the Securities Act (Ontario), the provisions of National Instrument 62-104 (Take-over Bids and Issuer Bids), and any applicable Canadian Securities Laws. For clarity, the purpose of the foregoing is to subject collectively the Buyer and all other Attribution Parties to the Maximum Percentage. "Affiliate" means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person, it being understood for purposes of this definition that "control" of a Person means the power directly or indirectly either to vote 10% or more of the shares having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of such Person or direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person whether by contract or otherwise. This Section 4(o) may not be amended, modified or waived by the parties hereof.


(p) Conduct of Business. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Entity, except where such violations would not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

(q) Variable Securities. Until the later of (A) the Additional Closing Expiration Date and (B) such date no Notes remain outstanding, the Company and each Subsidiary shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Placement (as defined below) involving a Variable Rate Transaction (other than a Permitted ATM). "Variable Rate Transaction" means a transaction in which the Company or any Subsidiary (i) issues or sells any Common Share Equivalents either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such Common Share Equivalents, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Common Share Equivalents or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Shares, other than pursuant to a customary "weighted average" anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line of credit or an "at-the-market" offering) whereby the Company or any Subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary "preemptive" or "participation" rights. Each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company and its Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.


(r) Participation Right. At any time on or prior to the third anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (or such later date that no Notes remain outstanding), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(r). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the right set forth in this Section 4(r) is a right granted by the Company, separately, to each Buyer

(i) At least five (5) Trading Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, the Company shall deliver to each Buyer a written notice (each such notice, a "Pre-Notice"), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including, without limitation, material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes or contains material, non-public information, a statement asking whether the Buyer is willing to accept material non-public information or (B) if the proposed Offer Notice does not constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement that the Company proposes or intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement that the statement in clause (x) above does not constitute material, non-public information and (z) a statement informing such Buyer that it is entitled to receive an Offer Notice (as defined below) with respect to such Subsequent Placement upon its written request. Upon the written request of a Buyer within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's delivery to such Buyer of such Pre-Notice, and only upon a written request by such Buyer, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver to such Buyer a written notice (the "Offer Notice") of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the "Offer") of the securities being offered (the "Offered Securities") in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (A) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (B) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, and (C) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Offer such Buyer's pro rata portion of 25% of the Offered Securities, provided that the number of Offered Securities which such Buyer shall have the right to subscribe for under this Section 4(r) shall be (x) based on such Buyer's pro rata portion of the aggregate original principal amount of the Notes purchased hereunder by all Buyers (the "Basic Amount"), and (y) with respect to each Buyer that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Buyers as such Buyer shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the "Undersubscription Amount"), which process shall be repeated until each Buyer shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.

(ii) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Buyer's receipt of the Offer Notice (the "Offer Period"), setting forth the portion of such Buyer's Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Buyer elects to purchase (in either case, the "Notice of Acceptance"). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Buyer who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the "Available Undersubscription Amount"), each Buyer who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to each Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Buyer's receipt of such new Offer Notice.


(iii) The Company shall have the right, following expiration of the Offer Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by a Buyer (the "Refused Securities") pursuant to a definitive agreement(s) (the "Subsequent Placement Agreement"), but only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (B) to publicly announce (x) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (y) either (I) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (II) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed on a Material Change Report with the Securities Commissions with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.

(iv) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 1(a)(ii) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, withdraw its Notice of Acceptance or proportionally reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance based on the actual size of such offering.

(v) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, such Buyer shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to such Buyer, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 1(a)(iii) above if such Buyer has so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by such Buyer of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and such Buyer of a separate purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Buyer and its counsel.

(vi) [Intentionally Omitted.] 

 


(vii) The Company and each Buyer agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer while any Notes are outstanding, (x) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the "Subsequent Placement Documents") shall include any term or provision whereby such Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities of the Company (other than with respect to the Offered Securities, if any) or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, any agreement previously entered into with the Company or any instrument received from the Company, and (y) representation and warranties of an Investor in the Subsequent Placement Documents that would prevent such Investor's participation in such Subsequent Placement (or otherwise breach clause (x) of this clause 4(r)(vii)), if any, must be necessary to comply with applicable law, rules and regulations of a Governmental Authority or the Principal Market.

(viii) shall not be more restrictive than those of the Buyers in this Agreement (other than as).

(ix) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(r) and unless otherwise agreed to by such Buyer, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Buyer that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case, in such a manner such that such Buyer will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by such tenth (10th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Buyer, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Buyer shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(x) The restrictions contained in this Section 4(r) shall not apply in connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities. The Company shall not circumvent the provisions of this Section 4(r) by providing terms or conditions to one Buyer that are not provided to all.

(s) Passive Foreign Investment Company. The Company shall conduct its business, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses, in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.

(t) Restriction on Redemption and Cash Dividends. Until the later of (A) the Additional Closing Expiration Date and (B) such date no Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, any securities of the Company without the prior express written consent of the Buyers, except (i) in the case of cash dividends where (A) at the time the dividend is declared, the value of the Company's "Liquid Assets", being cash, cash equivalents and digital assets, has been 175% or greater of the Company's Indebtedness for fifteen (15) of the twenty (20) Trading Days preceding the date of declaration, and (B) such dividend, together with any other cash dividends paid over the course of the twelve (12) preceding months, does not exceed 15% of the value of the Company's Liquid Assets as of the date of declaration, and (ii) the Company shall not declare any dividend that would be payable in Note Purchased SOL. Each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company and its Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.


(u) Corporate Existence. Until the later of (A) the Additional Closing Expiration Date and (B) such date no Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not be party to any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Notes) unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes.

(v) Conversion Procedures. Each of the form of Conversion Notice (as defined in the Notes) included in the Notes set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Buyers in order to convert the Notes. Except as provided in Section 5(d), no additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Buyers to convert their Notes. The Company shall honor conversions of the Notes and shall deliver the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Notes.

(w) Regulation M. The Company will not take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the 1934 Act, in connection with the distribution of the Securities contemplated hereby.

(x) Potential Conflicts with Subsequent Placements. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act), or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the 1933 Act) or other Subsequent Placement which will be integrated or aggregated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act or would reduce aggregate number of Common Shares available for issuance pursuant to the terms of the Notes under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market and the Company will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities or other Subsequent Placements will not be integrated or aggregated for purposes of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, with the issuance of Securities contemplated hereby.

(y) Notice of Disqualification Events.

The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.

(b) Transfer Agent Instructions. In connection with any conversion of a Note or legend removal in accordance with Section 5(d) below, as applicable, the Company shall provide irrevocable instructions to its Transfer Agent and any subsequent transfer agent in a form acceptable to each of the Buyers (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions") to either (i) (A) at any time on or after any Closing Date (each, an "Canadian Resale Eligibility Date"), provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Canadian Depository for Securities ("CDS"), credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which such Buyer is entitled pursuant to such exercise or conversion, as applicable, (the "Applicable Resale Shares") to such Investor's or its designee's balance account with CDS or (B) if the Applicable Resale Shares are eligible to be resold by such Investor pursuant to an available registration statement or are being resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act that permits the removal of U.S. restrictive legends from such Applicable Resale Shares upon the resale of such Applicable Resale Shares, provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program ("FAST"), credit such aggregate number of Applicable Resale Shares to such Investor's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, (each such issuance and delivery of Applicable Resale Shares pursuant to this clause (i), an "Electronic Share Issuance") or (ii) otherwise, to issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Legend Removal Notice (as defined below), Conversion Notice and/or Exercise Notice, as applicable, a certificate, registered in the name of such Investor (or its designee), for such Applicable Resale Shares (each such issuance and delivery of Applicable Resale Shares pursuant to this clause (ii), a "Certificated Share Issuance", and together with each Electronic Share Issuance, each, a "Share Issuance"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) whether or not the Applicable Resale Shares are eligible for an Electronic Share Issuance, if an Investor elects to effect such applicable Share Issuance pursuant to a Certificate Share Issuance in the Legend Removal Notice, Conversion Notice and/or Exercise Notice, as applicable, such Share Issuance shall be consummated as a Certificate Share Issuance and (II) if such Applicable Resale Shares are eligible to be delivered pursuant to both CDS and DTC in accordance with clause (i) of this Section 5(b), the Legend Removal Notice, Conversion Notice and/or Exercise Notice, as applicable, shall specify which method of delivery shall apply with respect thereto (or, in the absence of any such election or an election to deliver as a Certificate Share Issuance, such Applicable Resale Shares shall be delivered to such Investor (or its designee) in accordance with clause (i)(A) of this Section 5(b)). The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the treasury direction referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(g), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to affect each Share Issuance in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Investor to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Conversion Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144 or Regulation S, the transfer agent shall issue such shares to such Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 5(d) below. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the issuance of any opinion in connection with any resale of Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Company.

(a) In the event that the Initial Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer within ten (10) Trading Days of the date hereof, then such Buyer shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to itself at any time on or after the close of business on such date without liability of such Buyer to any other party; provided, however, (i) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8 shall not be available to such Buyer if the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to have been consummated by such date is the result of such Buyer's breach of this Agreement and (ii) the abandonment of the sale and purchase of the Notes and Commitment Shares shall be applicable only to such Buyer providing such written notice, provided further that no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Company under this Agreement to reimburse such Buyer for the expenses described in Section 4(i) above.

(b) In the event that the Initial Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, then the Company shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement at any time on or after the close of business on such date without liability of the Company to any other party; provided, however, (i) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8 shall not be available to the Company if the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to have been consummated by such date is the result of the Company's breach of this Agreement; (ii) the abandonment of the sale and purchase of the Notes and Commitment Shares shall be applicable only to such Buyer providing such written notice, and (iii) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8 shall not be available to the Company if the Company has not satisfied the conditions set out under Section 7(a), except to the extent those conditions can only be satisfied by closing; provided further that no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Company under this Agreement to reimburse such Buyer for the expenses described in Section 4(i) above.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision of law or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. The Company hereby appoints C T Corporation System (28 Liberty Street, New York, NY 10005) ("CT") as its agent for service of process in New York, provided that the Company shall be permitted to change such appointment on written notice to the Holder. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company's obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. The choice of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law of this Agreement is a valid choice of law and would be recognized and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Canada, except for those laws (i) which such court considers to be procedural in nature, (ii) which are revenue or penal laws or (iii) the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of Canada. The choice of laws of the State of New York as the governing law of this Agreement will be honored by competent courts in the province of Ontario, Canada, subject to compliance with relevant Ontario civil procedural requirements. The Company or any of its properties, assets or revenues does not have any right of immunity, or to the extent that the Company or any of its properties, assets, or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity, under Canadian or New York law, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any Canadian, New York or United States federal court, from service of process, attachment upon or prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of a judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment, in any such court, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement; and, to the extent that the Company, or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity in any such court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, the Company hereby waives such right to the extent permitted by law and hereby consents to such relief and enforcement as provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.


(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof. 


(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms "including," "includes," "include" and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words "without limitation." The terms "herein," "hereunder," "hereof" and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

(d) Severability; Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as "interest" under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of "interest" or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.


(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with respect to Common Shares or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders (as defined below), and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable; provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (B) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer's prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer's sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer's prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer's sole discretion). No consideration (other than reimbursement of legal fees) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, all holders of the Notes. From the date hereof and while any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not be permitted to receive any consideration from a Buyer or a holder of Notes that is not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order to, directly or indirectly, induce the Company or any Subsidiary (i) to treat such Buyer or holder of Notes in a manner that is more favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers or holders of Notes, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of Notes in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer or holder of Notes that is paying such consideration; provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated more or less favorably than another Buyer shall disregard any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any Buyer. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such Buyer's right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is expressly preceded by the phrase "except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents," nothing contained in any of the Disclosure Documents shall affect such Buyer's right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. "Required Holders" means ATW SOLANA VENTURES SPV LLC ("ATW"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this sentence and Section 4(o) above may not be amended, modified or waived by the parties hereto.


(f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided that such sent email is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient's email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The mailing addresses, and e-mail addresses for such communications shall be:

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of any of the Notes (but excluding any purchasers of Underlying Securities, unless pursuant to a written assignment by such Buyer). The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including, without limitation, by way of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Notes) (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes). A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with any transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Indemnitees referred to in Section 9(k).

(i) Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive each Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) Indemnification.

(i) In consideration of each Buyer's execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer (and any affiliate of any such Buyer that holds any Notes, from time to time)and all of their shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons' agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(k), or (D) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.


(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 9(k), deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Company if: (A) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (B) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (C) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Company, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the Company (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company), provided further, that in the case of clause (C) above the Company shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(k), except to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.


(iii) [Intentionally Omitted.]

(iv) The indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the Company or others, and (B) any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to the law.

(l) Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, Common Shares and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Shares shall be automatically adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, share combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Shares after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect to the borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order for such Buyer (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect short sales or similar transactions in the future.

(m) Remedies; Enforcement.

(i) Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such Subsidiary's (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law would inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).


(ii) In addition to, but not in limitation of, Sections 4(i) and 9(k) hereof, if (A) any Transaction Document is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection of any amounts due thereunder or enforcement, as applicable, or such amounts due thereunder are collected or such Transaction Document enforced, as applicable, through any legal proceeding or an Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under thereunder or to enforce the provisions thereof, as applicable, or (B) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors' rights and involving a claim under any Transaction Document, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Investor for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements.

(n) Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company or any Subsidiary does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

(o) Payment Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration 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 enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts and references to "$" in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in U.S. Dollars ("U.S. Dollars"), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. "Exchange Rate" means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.


(p) Judgment Currency.

(i) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 9(p) referred to as the "Judgment Currency") an amount due in US Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding:

(1) the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or

(2) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9(p)(2) being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Conversion Date").

(ii) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(p)(2) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

(iii) Any amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.


(q) Independent Nature of Buyers' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Buyer's investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each Subsidiary and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

Sol Strategies, Inc.

Convertible Note

Issuance Date: <*>, 2025 Original Principal Amount: $[___]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Sol Strategies, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the province of Ontario, Canada (the "Company"), hereby promises to pay to the order of <*> or its registered assigns ("Holder") the amount set forth above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the "Principal") when due, whether upon the Maturity Date, or upon acceleration, prepayment, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or Staking Interest Payment Date (as defined below), and to pay interest ("Interest") on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Default Rate (as defined below) at any such time as such Interest shall be due and payable hereunder, whether upon the Maturity Date, or upon acceleration, conversion, prepayment, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Convertible Note (including all Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, together with all amendments hereto or thereto, this "Note") is one of an issue of Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2025 (the "Subscription Date"), by and among the Company and the investors (the "Buyers") referred to therein, as amended from time to time (collectively, the "Notes", and such other Convertible Notes, the "Other Notes"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 29.

1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, and any accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in Section 22(c)) on such Principal and Interest. Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay any portion of the outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest or accrued and unpaid Late Charges on Principal and Interest, if any.

2. DEFAULT INTEREST; STAKING INTEREST.

(a) Default Interest. Other than Staking Interest (as defined below), no Interest shall accrue hereunder unless and until an Event of Default has occurred. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Interest shall accrue hereunder at the Default Rate, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of calendar days in any such calendar month, and shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month (each, an "Interest Date") in cash. In addition and without duplication, accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, shall also be payable by way of inclusion of such Interest in the Conversion Amount (as defined below) on each Conversion Date (as defined below) in accordance with Section 3(b)(i), upon any redemption in accordance with Section 11 or upon any required redemption upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default in accordance with Section 4(b). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured or waived (and no other Event of Default then exists (including, without limitation, for the Company's failure to pay such Interest at the Default Rate on the applicable Interest Date)), Interest shall cease to accrue hereunder as of the date of such cure or waiver; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure or waiver of such Event of Default.


(b) Validator; Staking Interest. At any time any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall delegate all Note Purchased Sol with a validator majority owned and controlled by the Company that does not charge any commissions with respect to such Note Purchased Sol, and which validator shall initially be Orange Fin Ventures. This Note shall accrue staking interest at any time the Company, directly or indirectly, is entitled to Staking Rewards with respect to Note Purchased SOL (the "Staking Interest", and such aggregate amount accrued and unpaid to the Holder from time to time, each a "Staking Interest Amount"). Within three (3) Business Days of the end of each calendar month (as applicable, each, a "Staking Interest Payment Date"), the Company shall pay any outstanding accrued Staking Interest Amount as of such applicable Staking Interest Payment Date to the Holder in SOL to the wallet address provided by the Holder and such Staking Interest Amount shall be calculated based on the outstanding Principal as follows:

(i) in respect of any day where the outstanding Principal of this Note and the Other Notes is between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000, the Holder shall be entitled to 85% of the Staking Rewards earned by the Company in respect of the Note Purchased SOL;

(ii) in respect of any day where the outstanding Principal of this Note and the Other Notes is between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000, the Holder shall be entitled to 62.5% of the Staking Rewards earned by the Company in respect of the Note Purchased SOL;

(iii) in respect of any day where the outstanding Principal of this Note and the Other Notes is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, the Holder shall be entitled to 37.5% of the Staking Rewards earned by the Company in respect of the Note Purchased SOL;

(iv) in respect of any day where the outstanding Principal of this Note and the Other Notes is between $2,500,000 and $5,000,000, the Holder shall be entitled to 18.8% of the Staking Rewards earned by the Company in respect of the Note Purchased SOL;


(v) in respect of any day where the outstanding Principal of this Note and the Other Notes is $2,500,000 or less, the Holder shall be entitled to 6.3% of the Staking Rewards earned by the Company in respect of the Note Purchased SOL; and

(vi) in respect of any day where the outstanding Principal of this Note and the Other Notes is zero, the Holder is not entitled to any Staking Rewards earned by the Company.

3. CONVERSION OF NOTES. At any time after the Issuance Date set forth above, this Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares (as defined below), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a Common Share upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Common Share, the Company shall round such fraction of a Common Share down to the nearest whole Common Share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price then in effect (the "Conversion Rate").

(i) "Conversion Amount" means the sum of (x) the portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made and (y) all accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such portion of the Principal amount and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such portion of such Principal and such Interest, if any.

(ii) "Conversion Price" means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares as of the Trading Day ended immediately prior to such date of determination, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.


(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Common Shares on any date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company. For greater certainty, a Conversion Notice received by the Company after 4:00 p.m., New York time, shall be deemed to have been received on the following Trading Day. If required by Section 3(c)(iii), within one (1) Trading Days following a conversion of this Note as aforesaid, the Holder shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 16(b)). On or before the first (1st) the Trading Day on which the Company has received a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail a treasury direction substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"), with a copy to the Holder, to issue the Common Shares in accordance with the registration instructions in the Conversion Notice. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received a Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Deadline"), the Company shall either (x) (A) at any time on or after the Issuance Date, provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Canadian Depository for Securities ("CDS"), credit such aggregate number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such Conversion Notice (the "Applicable Conversion Shares") to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with CDS or (B) if the Applicable Conversion Shares are eligible to be resold by the Holder pursuant to an available registration statement or are being resold pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act (and (x) the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Securities are eligible for resale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 and (y) an opinion of counsel with respect to such resale, assignment or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 is provided to the Transfer Agent if required by the Transfer Agent), provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program ("FAST"), credit such aggregate number of Applicable Conversion Shares to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, (each such issuance and delivery of Applicable Conversion Shares pursuant to this clause (x), an "Electronic Share Issuance") or (y) otherwise, to issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the applicable Conversion Notice a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder (or its designee), for such Applicable Conversion Shares (each such issuance and delivery of Applicable Conversion Shares pursuant to this clause (y), a "Certificated Share Issuance", and together with each Electronic Share Issuance, each, a "Share Issuance"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) whether or not the Applicable Conversion Shares are eligible for an Electronic Share Issuance, if the Holder elects to effect such applicable Share Issuance pursuant to a Certificated Share Issuance in such Conversion Notice, such Share Issuance shall be consummated as a Certificated Share Issuance and (II) if such Applicable Conversion Shares are eligible to be delivered pursuant to both CDS and DTC in accordance with clause (x) of this Section 3(c)(i), the Company shall cause the Applicable Conversion Shares to be delivered to the Holder (or its designee) in accordance with the election of the Holder as set forth in such Conversion Notice (or, in the absence of any such election or an election to deliver as a Certificated Share Issuance, such Applicable Conversion Shares shall be delivered to the Holder (or its designee) in accordance with clause (x)(A) of this Section 3(c)(i) above). If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Note (in accordance with Section 16(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the applicable Conversion Notice shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares on the Conversion Date; provided, that the Holder shall be deemed to have waived any voting rights of any such Common Shares during the period commencing on such Conversion Date, through, and including, such applicable Share Delivery Deadline (each, an "Conversion Period"), as necessary, such that the aggregate voting rights of any Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and/or any Attribution Parties, collectively, on any such date of determination shall not exceed the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) as a result of any such conversion of this Note.


(ii) Company's Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline (or, solely with respect to an Electronic Share Issuance by DTC, an Electronic Share Issuance that is not keyed into CDS as an "Instant Deposit" or a Certificated Share Issuance, the first Trading Day after such Share Delivery Deadline) (each, a "Conversion Failure Deadline"), to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder (or its designee) by such Conversion Failure Deadline, in compliance with Section 3(c)(i) above, such Applicable Conversion Shares in the manner specified by Section 3(c)(i) above (each, a "Conversion Failure"), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (1) the Company shall pay in cash (each, a "Conversion Failure Amount") to the Holder for each Trading Day after such Conversion Failure Deadline that the issuance of such Common Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Common Shares not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Conversion Failure Deadline and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) the quotient of (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Shares of each Trading Day during the period beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Conversion Failure Deadline, divided by (y) that aggregate number of Trading Days in such period and (2) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make payment of any Conversion Failure Amount which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) or otherwise. Such Conversion Failure Amount shall be due and payable to the Holder on or before the second (2nd) Business Day following the cure or waiver of such Conversion Failure or voiding of a Conversion Notice. In addition to the foregoing, if a Conversion Failure occurs and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline, the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Shares corresponding to all or any portion of the number of Common Shares issuable upon such conversion that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure (a "Buy-In"), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, in the Holder's discretion, either: (I) within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request, pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other actual out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Shares so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to so issue and deliver the Applicable Conversion Shares shall terminate, or (II) within two (2) Business Days after the Holder's request, promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder the Applicable Conversion Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of Common Shares to which such Buy-In relates multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II) (the "Buy-In Payment Amount"). Nothing shall limit the Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver the Applicable Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's failure to issue and deliver Applicable Conversion Shares by way of an Electronic Share Issuance via CDS or DTC by the Share Delivery Deadline, if due to the failure of the Holder to provide a Deposit ID or DWAC Control Number valid on such date of issuance, respectively, shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Note and shall not constitute a Conversion Failure.


(iii) Registration. The Company shall maintain a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Note by the holder thereof that is in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 16, provided that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of all or part of any Note that is in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein within two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3, following conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company following conversion thereof as contemplated by Section 3(c)(i)) or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence.


(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder's portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of Common Shares issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Common Shares not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 21. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer any Common Shares subject to dispute.


(d) Limitations on Issuances. The Company shall not issue any Common Shares pursuant to this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to receive any Common Shares pursuant to this Note and any such issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, in excess of 9.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Common Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of any remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred shares or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3(d). For purposes of this Section 3(d), a person shall be deemed to be the "beneficial owner" of, and to have "beneficial ownership" of, any securities as to which such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates own, either directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, including exercising one or both of voting or investment power. A Person shall be deemed to own beneficially securities beneficially owned by a company controlled by the Person or by any of such Person's Affiliates. Beneficial ownership shall include ownership through a trustee, legal representative, agent or other intermediary and shall include the interest of an entitlement holder, as defined in the Securities Transfer Act, 2006, with respect to that security, but does not include the interest of an entitlement holder that is a securities intermediary, as defined in the Securities Transfer Act, 2006, that has established a security entitlement, as defined in the Securities Transfer Act, 2006, in favour of its entitlement holder with respect to that security. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding Common Shares the Holder may acquire pursuant to this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on a written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding (the "Reported Outstanding Share Number"). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of Common Shares then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder's beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Common Shares to be issued pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In the event that the issuance of Common Shares to the Holder upon conversion of this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage, the number of shares so issued by which the Holder's and the other Attribution Parties' aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the "Excess Shares") shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct all or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be amended, modified or waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.


4. RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

(a) Event of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" and each of the events in clauses (v), (vi) and (vii) shall constitute a "Bankruptcy Event of Default":

(iii) the Company's or any Subsidiary's failure to pay to the Holder any amount of Principal, Interest, Late Charges or other amounts when and as due under this Note (including, without limitation, the Company's failure to pay any redemption payments or amounts hereunder) or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or any other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except, in the case of a failure to pay Interest and Late Charges when and as due, in which case only if such failure remains uncured for a period of at least three (3) Trading Days;

(iv) subject to the terms of any curative provisions in the documents evidencing such Indebtedness, the occurrence of any default under, redemption prior to maturity of or acceleration prior to maturity of at least an aggregate of $1,000,000 of Indebtedness (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than with respect to any Other Notes;

(ix) the Company and/or any Subsidiary, individually or in the aggregate, either (i) fails to pay, when due, as extended by any applicable grace period, any payment with respect to any Indebtedness in excess of $1,000,000 due to any third party (other than with respect to any Other Notes, with respect to unsecured Indebtedness only, payments contested by the Company and/or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) in good faith by proper proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside for the payment thereof in accordance with IFRS) or is otherwise in breach or violation of any agreement for monies owed or owing in an amount in excess of $1,000,000, which breach or violation permits the other party thereto to accelerate amounts due thereunder, or (ii) suffer to exist any other circumstance or event that would, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a default or event of default under any agreement binding the Company or any Subsidiary, which default or event of default would or is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement);


(x) other than as specifically set forth in another clause of this Section 4(a), the Company or any Subsidiary breaches any representation or warranty, in any material respect (other than representations or warranties subject to material adverse effect or materiality, which may not be breached in any respect) or any covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition that is curable, only if such breach remains uncured for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days;

(xv) greater than 10% of the Note Purchased SOL is subject to a Slashing Event, provided that if the Company restores the number of Note Purchased SOL to the amount that comprised the Note Purchase SOL prior to the Staking Event within five (5) Trading Days, the foregoing shall not constitute an Event of Default; or

(xvi) any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs with respect to any Other Notes.

(b) Notice of an Event of Default; Redemption Right. Upon becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note or any Other Note, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days of becoming aware of such occurrence of an Event of Default (but, in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days after such occurrence of an Event of Default) deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (an "Event of Default Notice") to the Holder in accordance with the terms hereof. At any time after the earlier of the Holder's receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether the circumstances giving rise to such Event of Default remain in effect) all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the "Event of Default Redemption Notice") to the Company which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) the Redemption Premium (the "Event of Default Redemption Price"). Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(b), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Event of Default Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 4(b) (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Shares pursuant to the terms of this Note. In the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 4(b), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. Any redemption upon an Event of Default shall not constitute an election of remedies by the Holder, and all other rights and remedies of the Holder shall be preserved.


(c) Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default, whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date, the Company shall immediately pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing (i) all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges on such Principal and Interest, multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Premium, in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder, without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by the Holder or any other person or entity, provided that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of the Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Event of Default, any right to conversion, and any right to payment of the Event of Default Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.


5. RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.

(a) Notice of a Fundamental Transaction; Redemption/Assumption Elections. By no later than the first (1st) Trading Day after the public announcement of a Fundamental Transaction with a Successor Entity, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) to the Holder (each, a "Fundamental Transaction Notice"). At any time beginning after the Holder's receipt of any such Fundamental Transaction Notice (or, if earlier, such time as the Holder becomes aware of such Fundamental Transaction) and ending fifteen (15) Trading Days after the date delivery of the Fundamental Transaction Notice (or such later date as the Company may elect in such Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice with respect thereto) (the "Fundamental Transaction Election Period"), the Holder may either (a) require the Company to redeem (each, a "Fundamental Transaction Redemption") all of Conversion Amount of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (such notice, a "Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice", and such election, a "Fundamental Transaction Redemption Election", and the date thereof, the "Fundamental Transaction Redemption Election Date"), or (b) elect to have the Successor Entity succeed to, and be substituted for the Company in this Note and the other Transaction Documents (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity) (each, an, "Assumption Election"), and the Successor Entity shall assume, in writing, all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents (with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the "Company" herein). If the Holder fails to make any election during an applicable Fundamental Transaction Election Period, the Holder shall be automatically deemed to have made a Fundamental Transaction Redemption Election during the applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Period.

(b) Mechanics.

(i) Disclosures in Fundamental Transaction Notice. Each Fundamental Transaction Notice shall be duly executed by an authorized officer of the Company and shall (i) state that the public disclosure of a Fundamental Transaction has occurred (and include a hyperlink to any such disclosure document and/or release), (ii) request the Holder either elect to effect a Fundamental Transaction Redemption Election or Assumption Election with respect thereto by a specified deadline (which shall be the last calendar day in such Fundamental Transaction Election Period or such later date as the Company may elect in such Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice), and (iii) specify the proposed Fundamental Transaction Redemption Date (as defined below) and the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (as defined below), if any.

(ii) Confirmation of Assumption. Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction in which the Holder has made an Assumption Election, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Common Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Section 6 which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) (as applicable, the "Successor Shares") which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. 


(iii) Mechanics of Fundamental Transaction Redemption. If the Holder makes (or is deemed to have made) a Fundamental Transaction Redemption Election during the applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Period, on or prior to the later of (x) the time of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and (y) the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such Fundamental Transaction Redemption Election Date (such later date, the "Fundamental Transaction Redemption Date"), the Note shall be redeemed in cash at a redemption price equal to the product of (x) the Redemption Premium and (y) the Conversion Amount being redeemed (the "Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price"). Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. In the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 5, the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.

6. [Intentionally deleted.]

7. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE UPON SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON SHARES.

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. Without limiting any provision of Section 6 or this Section 7, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date (i) subdivides or , redivides one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares or (ii) reduces, combines or consolidates one or more class of its outstanding Common Shares, the Conversion Price on and at any time after the effective date of such subdivision, re-division, reduction, combination or consolidation, will be reduced, in the case of the events referred to in (i) in the proportion which the number of Common Shares outstanding before such subdivision or re-division bears to the number of Common Shares outstanding after such subdivision or re-division, or will be increased, in the case of (ii) above, in the proportion which the Common Shares outstanding before such reduction, combination, or consolidation bears to the number of Common Shares outstanding after such reduction, combination or consolidation.



(b) Adjustments Upon Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any special dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Special Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case, any Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive the Special Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date multiplied by the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the fair market value of the Special Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors), and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date multiplied by the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the trading day immediately preceding such record date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 7(b) shall not be applicable in the case of regular periodic cash dividends paid by the Company to the holders of Common Shares.

(c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of Common Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Shares.

(d) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the CSE, the Company may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), reduce the then current Conversion Price of each of the Notes to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

8. VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, on no less than fifteen (15) Trading Days' written notice to the Holder, to prepay all or any part of the outstanding Principal of the Notes in cash for an amount equal to 107.5% of the Principal, accrued Interest, Later Charges and other amounts being repaid (or, if during an applicable Fundamental Transaction Election Period (unless the Holder has made an Assumption Election with respect thereto), the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (as defined below) with respect thereto). 


9. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Note or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any Common Shares receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after sixty (60) calendar days following the Issuance Date, the Holder is not permitted to convert this Note in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 3(d) hereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to permit such conversion into Common Shares.

10. RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times authorize at least 100% of the number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversions and assuming such Notes remain outstanding until the Maturity Date) at the Conversion Price then in effect.

11. REDEMPTIONS.

(a) Mechanics. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash within six (6) Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Holder's Event of Default Redemption Notice (each, an "Event of Default Redemption Date"). If the Holder has submitted a Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice in accordance with Section Error! Reference source not found., the Company shall deliver the applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder on the applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Date. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Note, upon delivery of this Note to the Company, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 16(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount or Designated Redemption Amount, as the case may be, that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company's receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount or Designated Redemption Amount, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 16(d)), to the Holder, and in each case the principal amount of this Note or such new Note (as the case may be) shall be increased by or shall reflect (as the case may be) an amount equal to the difference between (1) the applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be, and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 11, if applicable) minus (2) the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount subject to redemption or Designated Redemption Amount pursuant to which the Holder delivered a notice voiding redemption. The Holder's delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such Redemption Notice with respect to the Conversion Amount subject to such notice.


(b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company's receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4(b) or Section Error! Reference source not found. (each, an "Other Redemption Notice"), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day after its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by electronic mail a copy of such Other Redemption Notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Company's receipt of the Holder's applicable Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days after the Company's receipt of the Holder's applicable Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes (including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.

12. VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law and as expressly provided in this Note.

13. COVENANTS. Until all of the Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms:

(a) Rank. All payments due under this Note shall rank pari passu with all Other Notes and all other unsecured Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided that if the Company incurs additional Indebtedness (the "Additional Debt") following the Subscription Date which Indebtedness is guaranteed by any of its Subsidiaries, at the option of the Holder, this Note shall be guaranteed and secured, as applicable, on substantially the same basis as the Additional Debt and rank pari passu with such Additional Debt; provided further, that the Holder shall enter into substantially the same credit support and security documents as the lender of such Additional Debt.

(b) Existence of Liens. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, allow or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance (collectively, "Liens") upon any Note Purchased SOL.

The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, redeem, defease, repurchase, repay or make any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or cash equivalents (in whole or in part, whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or otherwise), all or any portion of any Indebtedness (other than the Notes) whether by way of payment in respect of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, such Indebtedness or make any Investment, as applicable, if at the time such payment with respect to such Indebtedness and/or Investment, as applicable, is due or is otherwise made or, after giving effect to such payment, (i) an event constituting an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) an event that with the passage of time and without being cured would constitute an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d) Restriction on Redemption and Cash Dividends. Until the later of (A) the Additional Closing Expiration Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), and (B) such date no Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, any securities of the Company without the prior express written consent of the Holder, except (i) in the case of cash dividends where (A) at the time the dividend is declared, the value of the Company's "Liquid Assets" being cash, cash equivalents and digital assets has been 175% or greater of the Company's Indebtedness for 15 of the 20 Trading Days preceding the date of declaration, and (B) such dividend, together with any other cash dividends paid over the course of the 12 preceding months, does not exceed 15% of the value of the Company's Liquid Assets as of the date of declaration, and (ii) the Company shall not declare any dividend that would be payable in Note Purchased SOL. The Holder shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company and its Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

(e) Restriction on Transfer of Assets. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, spin-off, split-off, close, convey or otherwise dispose of any Note Purchased SOL.

(f) Change in Nature of Business. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, engage in any material line of business outside of the cryptocurrency and digital asset industry; provided that expanding operations into jurisdictions where the Company or any Subsidiary's business becomes legal or permitted after the date hereof shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, modify its or their corporate structure or purpose other than in the circumstances contemplated by paragraphs (i), (ii), and (iii) of the definition of "Change of Control".

(g) Preservation of Existence, Etc. The Company shall maintain and preserve, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, its existence, material rights and privileges, and become or remain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to become or remain, duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary.


(h) Maintenance of Properties, Etc. The Company shall maintain and preserve, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, all of its properties which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to materially comply, at all times with the provisions of all leases to which it is a party as lessee or under which it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.

(i) Maintenance of Intellectual Property. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take all action necessary or advisable to maintain all of the Intellectual Property Rights (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries that are necessary or material to the conduct of its business in full force and effect.

(j) Maintenance of Insurance. The Company shall maintain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations (including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability, hazard, rent and business interruption insurance) with respect to its properties (including all real properties leased or owned by it) and business, in such amounts and covering such risks as is required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated.

(k) Transactions with Affiliates. Other than in respect of transactions between the Company and its Subsidiaries and other than the loan from Antanas Guoga to the Company as described in the Company's continuous disclosure documents filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities, the Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into, renew, extend or be a party to, any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease, transfer or exchange of property or assets of any kind or the rendering of services of any kind) with any affiliate, except transactions in the ordinary course of business in a manner and to an extent consistent with past practice and necessary or desirable for the prudent operation of its business, or for fair consideration and on terms no less favorable to it or its Subsidiaries than would be obtainable in a comparable arm's length transaction with a Person that is not an affiliate thereof.

(l) Restricted Issuances. Until the later of (A) the Additional Closing Expiration Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), and (B) such date no Notes remain outstanding, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), (i) issue any Notes (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), other than as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes) or (ii) issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting any term or condition of the Notes, nothing in this Section 13(l) shall otherwise limit the issuance by the Company of any other Indebtedness to any other Person.


(m) Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Holder by this Note, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(n) Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall pay when due all taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever (together with any related interest or penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against the Company and its Subsidiaries or their respective assets or upon their ownership, possession, use, operation or disposition thereof or upon their rents, receipts or earnings arising therefrom (except where the failure to pay would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). The Company and its Subsidiaries shall file on or before the due date therefor all personal property tax returns (except where the failure to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, taxes for which they maintain adequate reserves therefor in accordance with IFRS.

(o) Available Cash Test; Announcement of Operating Results.

(i) Available Cash Test. At any time any Notes remains outstanding, the Company's Available Cash as of the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing with May 31, 2025 (as applicable, each an "Available Cash Test Measuring Date"), shall equal or exceed $1,000,000 (or the Canadian dollar equivalent thereof) (the "Available Cash Test").

(ii) Financial Covenant Notices. Commencing on the Issuance Date, the Company shall publicly disclose and disseminate (such date, the "Announcement Date"), if the Financial Test fails to be satisfied (each such failure, a "Financial Covenant Failure"), a statement to that effect no later than the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the end of such Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable, and such announcement shall include a statement to the effect that a Financial Covenant Failure by the Company exists (or does not exist, as applicable) for such Fiscal Quarter. On the Announcement Date, the Company shall also provide to the Holder a certification, executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, certifying that the Company satisfied the Financial Test for such Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable, if that is the case. If a Financial Covenant Failure by the Company exists for a Fiscal Quarter, on or prior to the Announcement Date, the Company shall provide to the Holders a written certification, executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, certifying that a Financial Covenant Failure exists for such Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable (a "Financial Covenant Event Notice"). Concurrently with the delivery of each Financial Covenant Event Notice to the Holders, the Company shall also make publicly available (as part of a Material Change Report (as defined below), or otherwise) the Financial Covenant Event Notice and the fact that an Event of Default has occurred under the Notes.


(p) Independent Investigation.

For greater certainty, for the purposes of this Section 32, the Holder shall include any successor of the Holder and any transferee and assignee in respect of the Holder in respect of this Note or any of the other Transaction Documents.

A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by the Holder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. For greater certainty, "Indemnified Taxes" will include any taxes imposed under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or any otherTransaction Document, the provisions of this Section 32 shall survive the conversion, redemption, prepayment, termination or cancellation of this Note or any other Transaction Document, as applicable, and any transfer by a Holder of this Note or any Warrant or its rights under any Transaction Document, and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any Successor Entity to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Sol Strategies, Inc.

217 Queen Street West, Suite 401

Toronto, Ontario, M5V 0R2, Canada

ATW SOLANA VENTURES SPV LLC

[Redacted - Contact Information]

May[__], 2025

Dear Sirs:

This agreement (this "Agreement") is being delivered to you in connection with that certain understanding by and between Sol Strategies Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the province of Ontario, Canada with offices located at 217 Queen Street West, Suite 401, Toronto, Ontario M5V 0R2 (the "Company") and the undersigned ("Holder").

The Company and certain investors (including the Holder) have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May [__], 2025 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Holder and the Holder has agreed to purchase certain Notes (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), which will be convertible into shares (the "Conversion Shares") of the Company's common shares, no par value per share (the "Common Shares"), in accordance with the terms of the Notes. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

During the period commencing on the date hereof ("Execution Date") and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) such date as the Holder and its Affiliates no longer hold any Notes (including, without limitation, any Additional Notes and any underlying Conversions Shares), or (ii) such date upon which any breach or default by the Company of any term of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes)) or this Agreement occurs, regardless of whether such breach is subsequently cured (such period, the "Restricted Period"), the Holder shall not have Net Sales (as defined below) on any given Trading Day during such Restricted Period (each, an "Applicable Trading Day"), of any Common Shares then held by the Holder (the "Restricted Securities") in an aggregate amount representing more than the greater of (x) US $50,000 in aggregate sale price of Restricted Securities and (y) with respect to each trading market in which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted for trading (each, an "Applicable Market"), 10% of the daily aggregate trading volume of the Common Shares on such Applicable Market on such Applicable Trading Day, as reported by Bloomberg, LP ("Bloomberg") on such Applicable Trading Day (the "Trading Limit"); provided that the Trading Limit shall increase to 20% of the daily aggregate trading volume of the Common Shares, as reported by Bloomberg on any Applicable Trading Day on which the aggregate daily dollar trading volume (as reported on Bloomberg) of the Common Shares on the Applicable Market is greater than US $7,500,000. "Net Sales" means, with respect to any Applicable Trading Day, the gross number of Common Shares sold by the Holder on such Applicable Trading Day, minus the gross number of Common Shares purchased by the Holder on such Applicable Trading Day. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall prohibit the Holder from tendering any Restricted Securities or other securities to any Person in a tender offer or other Fundamental Transaction.


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on or after the date hereof, the Holder may, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer all, or any part, of any Restricted Securities to any Person and may transfer the Notes in accordance with the terms thereof to any Person (an "Assignee") without complying with (or otherwise limited by) the restrictions set forth in this Agreement; provided, that as a condition to any such sale or transfer an authorized signatory of the Company and such Assignee duly execute and deliver a leak-out agreement in the form of this Agreement (without the right of assignment in this paragraph) with respect to such Restricted Securities, as applicable (an "Assignee Agreement"), and sales of the Holder and its Affiliates and all Assignees shall be aggregated for all purposes of this Agreement and all Assignee Agreements. It shall be the responsibility of the Holder to monitor such Affiliate's and Assignee's compliance with the Assignee Agreement and this paragraph.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Common Shares if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.

Administrative Expense Reimbursement

Letter Agreement

May 1, 2025

ATW Partners Opportunities Management, LLC

[Redacted - Contact Information]

Re: ATW Partners Opportunities Management, LLC Expense Reimbursement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to (a) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of April 23, 2025 (the "Agreement"), by and among Sol Strategies, Inc., company organized under the laws of the province of Ontario, Canada (the "Company"), and ATW SOLANA VENTURES SPV LLC (the "Buyer"); and (b) the other documents and agreements entered into in connection therewith (collectively, with the Agreement, the "Transaction Documents"), in connection with a transaction contemplated in the Transaction Documents (the "Transaction"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

The Company hereby agrees to pay directly to ATW Partners Opportunities Management, LLC (the "Manager", and together with the Company and the Buyer, "Parties", and each individually, a "Party") for its own account, in its capacity as investment manager to the Buyer, a non- accountable amount, as set forth herein, to reimburse the Manager for expenses and the commitment of internal resources, certain legal and administrative obligations in connection with this Transaction, including, without limitation, diligence, legal, structuring and documentation, ongoing administration and maintenance, and other expenses incurred.

The reimbursement amount of $25,000.00 is due at the Initial Closing and an amount equal to $85,000 (the applicable amount being the "Expense Reimbursement") is due annually, in advance, until such time as there is no principal outstanding under the Note held by the Buyer and shall be fully earned when due, initially at the Initial Closing (as defined in the Agreement) and upon each subsequent anniversary of the Initial Closing provided there is principal outstanding under the Note on such date. The initial payment of the Expense Reimbursement is payable from the Purchase Price (as defined in the Agreement) to be paid by the Buyer to the Company at the Initial Closing.

The Buyer shall be permitted to withhold any Expense Reimbursement amount due and unpaid from the funding of Additional Closings; provided, however, that in the event the Buyer does not fund any Additional Closings, then on the Additional Closing Expiration Date such accrued but unpaid Expense Reimbursement amount will be deemed waived by the Manager.

For greater certainty, only one Expense Reimbursement shall be payable in respect of any one year period, regardless of the number of Additional Closings held during such period.

Failure of any Party to enforce any of the provisions of this letter agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provisions or of the right thereafter to enforce such provisions. If any provisions of this letter agreement shall be held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall not be affected or impaired and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.


This letter agreement has been prepared through the joint efforts of all of the parties. Neither the provisions of this letter agreement nor any alleged ambiguity shall be interpreted or resolved against any Party on the ground that such Party's counsel drafted this letter agreement, or based on any other rule of strict construction. Each of the parties hereto represents and declares that such Party has carefully read this letter agreement and that such Party knows the contents hereof and signs the same freely and voluntarily.

This letter agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Manager and the Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This letter agreement may not be amended or waived except by an instrument signed by the Company and the Manager.

THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT.

THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this letter agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof and (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same.

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this letter agreement by fax or electronic mail shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this letter agreement.
