MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This management information circular (this "Management Information Circular") is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of The Real Brokerage Inc. ("Real" or the "Corporation") for use at the Annual General and Special Meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders ("Shareholders") of common shares ("Common Shares") in the capital of the Corporation. The Meeting will be held on Thursday, August 20, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at 133 Richmond Street West, Suite 302, Toronto, Ontario, or at such other time or place to which the Meeting may be adjourned, for the purposes set forth in the notice of annual general and special meeting accompanying this Management Information Circular (the "Notice"). Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone, facsimile or other means of electronic communication. In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer, arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Common Shares held of record by such persons and the Corporation may reimburse such persons for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in doing so. The costs thereof will be borne by the Corporation.

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and the issuer or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings or securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf.

Accompanying this Management Information Circular (and filed with applicable securities regulatory authorities) is a form of proxy for use at the Meeting ("Instrument of Proxy"). Each Shareholder who is entitled to attend at Shareholders' meetings is encouraged to participate in the Meeting and Shareholders are urged to vote on matters to be considered in person or by proxy.

Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this Management Information Circular is given as of July 16, 2020 (the "Effective Date").

All time references in this Management Information Circular are in Eastern Daylight Time (Toronto time).

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Appointment of a Proxy

Those Shareholders who wish to be represented at the Meeting by proxy must complete and deliver a proper form of proxy to Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") either in person, or by mail or courier, to 100 University Ave., Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1.


The persons named as proxyholders in the Instrument of Proxy accompanying this Management Information Circular are directors or officers of the Corporation and are representatives of the Corporation's management for the Meeting. A Shareholder who wishes to appoint some other person (who need not be a Shareholder) as his or her representative at the Meeting may do so by either: (i) crossing out the names of the management nominees AND legibly printing the other person's name in the blank space provided in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy; or (ii) completing another valid form of proxy. In either case, the completed form of proxy must be delivered to the Transfer Agent, at the place and within the time specified herein for the deposit of proxies. A Shareholder who appoints a proxy who is someone other than the management representatives named in the Instrument of Proxy should notify the nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee's consent to act as proxy, and provide instructions on how the Common Shares are to be voted. The nominee should bring personal identification to the Meeting. In any case, the form of proxy should be dated and executed by the Shareholder or an attorney authorized in writing, with proof of such authorization attached (where an attorney executed the proxy form).

In order to validly appoint a proxy, instruments of proxy must be received by the Transfer Agent (the address is stated above or in the Instrument of Proxy) at least 48 hours prior to the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. After such time, the chairman of the Meeting may accept or reject a form of proxy delivered to him in his discretion but is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late form of proxy.

Revoking a Proxy

A Shareholder who has validly given a proxy may revoke it for any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast by the proxyholder appointed therein. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked with an instrument in writing signed and delivered to either the registered office of the Corporation or the Transfer Agent, 100 University Ave, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or deposited with the chairman of such Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof. The document used to revoke a proxy must be in writing and completed and signed by the Shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

Also, a Shareholder who has given a proxy may attend the Meeting in person (or where the Shareholder is a corporation, its authorized representative may attend), revoke the proxy (by indicating such intention to the chairman before the proxy is exercised) and vote in person (or withhold from voting).

Signature on Proxies

The form of proxy must be executed by the Shareholder or his or her duly appointed attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer whose title must be indicated. A form of proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity should indicate that person's capacity (following his signature) and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act (unless such instrument has been previously filed with the Corporation).

Voting of Proxies

Each Shareholder may instruct his proxy how to vote his or her Common Shares by completing the blanks on the Instrument of Proxy.


The Common Shares represented by the enclosed proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on any motion, by ballot or otherwise, in accordance with any indicated instructions. In the absence of such direction, such Common Shares will be voted IN FAVOUR OF PASSING THE RESOLUTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUMENT OF PROXY AND BELOW. If any amendment or variation to the matters identified in the Notice is proposed at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or if any other matters properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the accompanying Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority to vote on such amendments or variations or such other matters according to the best judgment of the appointed proxyholder. Unless otherwise stated, the Common Shares represented by a valid Instrument of Proxy will be voted in favour of the election of nominees set forth in this Management Information Circular except where a vacancy among such nominees occurs prior to the Meeting, in which case, such Common Shares may be voted in favour of another nominee in the proxyholder's discretion. As at the Effective Date, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments or variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Advice to Beneficial Shareholders

The information set forth in this section is of importance to many Shareholders, as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through their brokers, intermediaries, trustees or other persons, or who otherwise do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to in this Management Information Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders who are registered shareholders (that is, shareholders whose names appear on the records maintained by the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares as registered holders of Common Shares) will be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Beneficial Shareholder by a broker, those Common Shares will, in all likelihood, not be registered in the Shareholder's name. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker's client can only be voted at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker's clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is substantially similar to the Instrument of Proxy provided directly to registered shareholders by the Corporation. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The vast majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("BFS") in Canada. BFS typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to BFS, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to BFS (by way of the Internet or telephone, for example). BFS then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder who receives a BFS voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction forms must be returned to BFS (or instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares must otherwise be communicated to BFS) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted. If you have any questions respecting the voting of Common Shares held through a broker or other intermediary, please contact that broker or other intermediary for assistance.


Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his broker, CDS & Co. or another intermediary, the Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder, should enter their own names in the blank space on the Instrument of Proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker.

All references to Shareholders in this Management Information Circular and the accompanying Instrument of Proxy and Notice are to registered Shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Circular sets out the objectives of the Corporation's executive compensation arrangements, the Corporation's executive compensation philosophy and the application of this philosophy to the Corporation's executive compensation arrangements.

When determining the compensation arrangements for the Named Executive Officers and directors, the Board considers the objectives of: (i) retaining an executive critical to the success of the Corporation and the enhancement of shareholder value; (ii) providing fair and competitive compensation; (iii) balancing the interests of management and shareholders of the Corporation; and (iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to the business in general.

Benchmarking

In determining the compensation level for each executive, the Board looks at factors such as the relative complexity of the executive's role within the organization, the executive's performance and potential for future advancement, the compensation paid by other companies in the same industry as the Corporation, and pay equity considerations.

Elements of Compensation

The compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers and directors in any year consists of two (2) primary components:

1. base salary; and 2. long-term incentives in the form of Options granted under the Stock Option Plan.

The Corporation believes that making a significant portion of the Named Executive Officers' and directors' compensation based on long-term incentives supports the Corporation's executive compensation philosophy, as these forms of compensation allow those most accountable for the Corporation's long-term success to acquire and hold the Corporation's shares. The key features of these two primary components of compensation are discussed below:

1. Base Salary

Base salary recognizes the value of an individual to the Corporation based on his or her role, skill, performance, contributions, leadership and potential. It is critical in attracting and retaining executive talent in the markets in which the Corporation competes for talent. Base salaries for the Named Executive Officers and directors are reviewed annually. Any change in the base salary of a Named Executive Officer or a director is generally determined by an assessment of such executive's performance, a consideration of competitive compensation levels in companies similar to the Corporation and a review of the performance of the Corporation as a whole and the role such executive officer played in such corporate performance.

2. Stock Option Awards

The Corporation provides long-term incentives to the Named Executive Officers and directors in the form of Options as part of its overall executive compensation strategy. The Board believes that Option grants serve the Corporation's executive compensation philosophy in several ways: they help attract, retain, and motivate talent; they align the interests of the Named Executive Officers and directors with those of the shareholders by linking a specific portion of the officer's total pay opportunity to share price; and they provide long-term accountability for Named Executive Officers and directors. The Corporation does not have any policies which permit or prohibit a Named Executive Officer or director to purchase financial instruments.


Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution to approve amendments to the Stock Option Plan as well as a new restricted share unit plan at the Meeting. See "Matters to be Considered at the Meeting".

Pension Disclosure

There are no pension plan benefits in place for the Named Executive Officers or the directors of the Corporation.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

No option-based or share-based awards were granted, vested or earned during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The following table sets forth the securities of the Corporation that are authorized for issuance under the equity compensation plans as at December 31, 2019.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

At no time since the commencement of the Corporation's most recently completed financial period has the Corporation relied on the exemption in Section 2.4 of NI 52-110 (De Minimis Non-audit Services), or an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 of NI 52-110.

Audit Committee Charter

The Audit Committee has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non- audit services as described in Schedule "A" attached hereto.

External Auditor Service Fees (By Category)

The aggregate fees billed by the Corporation's external auditors for the financial year ended December 31, 2019 are approximately as follows:

Financial Period Ending Audit Fees(1) Audit Related Fees(2) Tax Fees(3) All Other Fees

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. The Corporation has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, the Corporation's practices comply with the guidelines; however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Corporation at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted. National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices, which disclosure is set out below.

(a) Independence of Members of Board

There are four directors on the Board, of which Larry Klane and Guy Gamzu are independent directors based upon the tests for independence set forth in National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees ("NI 52-110").

 4) Approval of the Stock Option Plan Amendments

The existing Stock Option Plan (the "Existing Stock Option Plan") is a "rolling" stock option plan under the policies of the TSXV, as under the Existing Stock Option Plan the Corporation is authorized to grant Options of up to 10% of its issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the stock option grant, from time to time. The purpose of the Existing Stock Option Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation by encouraging the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation to acquire Common Shares, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in the Corporation and furnishing them with additional incentive in their efforts on behalf of the Corporation in the conduct of its business and affairs.

Under the terms of the Existing Stock Option Plan, a maximum of 14,133,758 Common Shares (representing approximately 10% of the currently outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation) are reserved for issuance. The Board and management is of the view that the Existing Stock Option Plan does not have enough Common Shares reserved for option grants to meet the Corporation's future needs in the short term. Accordingly, management believes that it is appropriate to amend the Existing Stock Option Plan from a "rolling" 10% plan to a "fixed" 20% plan. Under a fixed 20% plan, the maximum number of Common Shares issuable would be 28,267,516 Common Shares, which will represent approximately 20% of the Corporation's current issued and outstanding Common Shares.

In making the decision to seek Shareholder approval of the amendment to the Existing Stock Option Plan, management noted that the utilization of Options has been and will continue to be an important factor in attracting and keeping superior quality personnel. Management believes that, at this stage of the Corporation's growth and development, it is imperative that the Corporation have sufficient flexibility in its incentive arrangements to permit it to compete with other entities in its industry which utilize share incentive options in hiring and retaining key personnel.


In light of the above, Shareholders are being requested to pass an ordinary resolution, the text of which is set forth below, approving an amended and restated stock option plan to change the Existing Stock Option Plan from a "rolling" 10% stock option plan to a "fixed" 20% stock option plan together with certain other amendments (the "Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan"). Under the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, as Options are granted, the number of Options available for future grants is reduced by an amount equal to the number of Options granted.

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan which is set out in Schedule "C" to this Management Information Circular. The Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board, which has full and final authority with respect to the granting of all options thereunder subject to the requirements of the TSXV. Options may be granted under the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan to such directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation and its affiliates, if any, as the Board may from time to time designate. Under the policies of the TSXV, options granted under such a fixed plan are not required to have a vesting period, although the directors may continue to grant options with vesting periods, as the circumstances require. The Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan authorizes the Board to grant Options to the optionees (the "Optionee") on the following terms (capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Existing Stock Option Plan):

  • If Options expire or otherwise terminate for any reason without having been exercised, the number of Common Shares in respect of the expired or terminated Options will again be available for the purposes of the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan.

  • The Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan may be terminated by the Board at any time, but such termination will not alter the terms or conditions of any options awarded prior to the date of such termination. Any Options outstanding when the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan is terminated will remain in effect until they are exercised or expire or are otherwise terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan.

  • The Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan provides that it is solely within the discretion of the Board to determine who should receive Options and in what amounts. The Board may issue a majority of the options to insiders of the Corporation. However, in no case will the issuance of common shares upon the exercise of Options granted under the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan result in:

    i. The total number of Options awarded to any one individual in any twelve month period shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Corporation at the Award Date (unless the Corporation has obtained disinterested shareholder approval);

    ii.
    The total number of Options awarded to any one Consultant for the Corporation shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Corporation at the Award Date without consent being obtained from the Exchange; and

    iii.
    The total number of Options awarded to all persons employed by the Corporation who perform Investor Relations Activities for the Corporation shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Corporation, in any twelve month period, calculated at the Award Date without consent being obtained from the Exchange.


 

Options granted under the Amended Stock Option Plan will be for a term so fixed by the Board at the time the Option is awarded, provided that such date shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of its grant (which is a change from a five (5) year term under the Existing Stock Option Plan). Unless the Corporation otherwise decides, in the event an Option Holder ceases to be a consultant or employee of the Corporation (other than by reason of death), vested options will expire on the 90th day following the date the holder ceases to be an Employee (or on the 30th day in the case of an Optionee who is engaged in investor relations activities). In the case that the Option Holder ceases to be such as a result of termination for cause, the Expiry Date shall be the date the Option Holder ceases to be an Employee of the Corporation.

The Exercise Price shall be that price per Share, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, and announced as of the Award Date, at which an Option Holder may purchase a Share upon the exercise of an Option, provided that it shall not be less than the closing price of the Corporation's Shares traded through the facilities of the Exchange (or, if the Shares are no longer listed for trading on the Exchange, then such other exchange or quotation system on which the Shares are listed or quoted for trading) on the day preceding the Award Date, less any discount permitted by the Exchange, or such other price as may be required or permitted by the Exchange.

In no case will a stock option be exercisable at a price less than the minimum prescribed by each of the organized trading facilities or the applicable regulatory authorities that would apply to the award of the stock option in question.

Options may not be assigned or transferred, and all Option Certificates will be so legended, provided however that the Personal Representatives of an Option Holder may exercise the Option within the Exercise Period. Common shares will not be issued pursuant to Options granted under the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan until they have been fully paid for.

Upon a Change of Control (as that term is defined in the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan), the Board may require that an Option granted under the Plan may be exercised (whether or not such Option as vested) by the Optionee at any time up to an including the expiry time of the Option and the Board may require the acceleration of the time for exercise of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no acceleration of the vesting of Options held by Optionees performing Investor Relations Activities shall occur without the prior written consent of the Exchange.

In order to be effective, the Stock Option Plan Resolution requires the approval of not less than 50% of the votes cast by the disinterested Shareholders represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. To the knowledge of the Corporation, a total of 38,188,099 Common Shares (being approximately 27.02% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares) are held by Shareholders who are considered insiders and to whom Stock Options may be granted, and the associates thereof, and will be excluded from voting on the Stock Option Plan Resolution.

If the Stock Option Plan Resolution is approved, the Board retains the power to revoke it at all times without any further approval by the Shareholders. The Board will only exercise such power in the event that it is, in its opinion, in the best interest of the Corporation. If the Stock Option Plan Resolution is not approved then the Existing Stock Option Plan will remain in force.


At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution approving the amendments to the Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan Resolution") in the following form:

"BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED as an ordinary resolution that

(1) subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan including the amendment from a 10% "rolling" plan to a 20% "fixed" plan, under which the maximum number of common shares of the Corporation ("Common Shares") reserved for issuance will be increased from 14,133,758 to 28,267,516 Common Shares, all of which such amendments are set out in an amended and restated stock option plan set out in Schedule "C" to this Management Information Circular is hereby approved;

(2) any director or officer of the Corporation be, and such director or officer of the Corporation hereby is, authorized, instructed and empowered, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such documents and instruments, and to do or to cause to be done all such other acts and things as in the opinion of such director or officer of the Corporation may be necessary or desirable in order to fulfill the intent of this resolution; and

(3) the board of directors of the Corporation, in its sole and complete discretion, may act upon this resolution to effect the adoption of the amended and restated Stock Option Plan, or if deemed appropriate and without any further approval from the shareholders of the Corporation, may choose not to act upon this resolution notwithstanding shareholder approval of the amended and restated Stock Option Plan and are authorized to revoke this resolution in their sole discretion."

(the "Stock Option Plan Resolution")

The Board has unanimously approved the amendments to the Stock Option Plan and recommends that shareholders vote FOR the Stock Option Plan Resolution.

In order to be effective, the Stock Option Plan Resolution must be approved by at least a majority of the votes cast by shareholders who vote in respect of the Stock Option Plan Resolution.

Unless the shareholder has specified in the enclosed Proxy that the common shares represented by such Proxy are to be voted against the Stock Option Plan Resolution, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy will vote FOR the Stock Option Plan Resolution.

 5) Approval of RSU Plan

The Stock Option Plan of the Corporation requires that the addition of a deferred or restricted share unit or any other provision which results in participants under the Stock Option Plan receiving securities while no cash consideration is received by the Corporation requires the approval of the Board of Directors, the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and the shareholders of the Corporation.


At the Meeting, shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, pass an ordinary resolution in the form set out below, approving a new restricted share unit plan for the Corporation (the "RSU Plan").

A summary of the material terms of the RSU Plan is set forth below. The summary information is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the RSU Plan, a copy of which is attached as Schedule "D" to this Management Information Circular.

  • Eligible Persons. The Board of Directors or a committee delegated by the Board of Directors under the RSU Plan (the "Committee") may grant RSUs to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation (the "Participants"), other than persons performing Investor Relations Activities, provided that the Board, together with such individuals or companies, are responsible for ensuring and confirming that such person is a bona fide Participant.

  • Fixed Plan. The RSU Plan is a fixed plan, such that the aggregate number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to the Plan shall not exceed 28,267,516 common shares, less the number of Shares issuable pursuant to all other security based compensation arrangements (including the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan).

  • Ceasing to be a director, officer, employee or consultant. The RSU Plan provides that that if a Participant shall cease to be a director or officer of or be in the employ of, or a consultant or other Participant to, the Corporation or a subsidiary for any reason whatsoever including, without limitation, retirement, resignation or involuntary termination (with or without cause), as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, before all of the awards respecting RSUs credited to the Participant's account have vested or are forfeited pursuant to any other provision hereof, (i) such Participant shall cease to be a Participant as of the forfeiture date, (ii) the former Participant shall forfeit all unvested awards respecting RSUs credited to the Participant's account effective as at the forfeiture date, (iii) any award value corresponding to any vested RSUs remaining unpaid as of the forfeiture date shall be paid to the former Participant and (iv) the former Participant shall not be entitled to any further payment from the RSU Plan:


 

  • Change of control In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the RSU Plan), the Board or the Committee shall have absolute discretion to determine if all issued and outstanding RSUs shall vest (whether or not then vested) upon the Change of Control and the vesting date shall be the date which is immediately prior to the time such Change of Control takes place, or at such earlier time as may be established by the Board of Directors or the Committee, in its absolute discretion, prior to the time such Change of Control takes place.

In addition, the Board of Directors may, by resolution, make any amendment to the RSU Plan or any RSU granted under it (together with any related RSU agreement) without shareholder approval, provided however, that the Board will not be entitled to amend the RSU Plan or any RSU granted under it without shareholder (disinterested shareholder approval if applicable) and, if applicable, TSXV approval, in order to: (i) increase the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to the RSU Plan; (ii) cancel an RSU and subsequently issue to the holder of such RSU a new RSU in replacement thereof; (iii) extend the term of an RSU, but not beyond the Expiry Date; (iv) permit the assignment or transfer of an RSU other than as provided for in the RSU Plan; (v) add to the categories of persons eligible to participate in this Plan; or (vi) in any other circumstances where TSXV and shareholder approval is required by the TSXV.

In order to be effective, the RSU Plan Resolution requires the approval of not less than 50% of the votes cast by the disinterested Shareholders represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy.

6.3 If an Optionee dies before the Expiry Time of an Option, the Optionee's legal representative(s) may, subject to the terms of the Option and the Plan, exercise any vested Options to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to do so at the date of the Optionee's death at any time up to and including, but not after, a date 12 months following the date of the Optionee's death or on the Expiry Time, whichever is earlier.

The Optioned Shares so purchased shall be issued and delivered to the Optionee within a reasonable time following the receipt of such notice and payment. The transfer and delivery of any Optioned Shares issued upon exercise of any Option shall be effected according to the procedures established by the transfer agent of the Corporation for the transfer and delivery of the Shares.


7.2 In addition to any resale restrictions under the BCSA or other applicable legislation, all Options granted under this Plan where the exercise price is less than the Market Price and all Optioned Shares issued on the exercise of such Options (before the expiry of the hold period) will be subject to a four-month Exchange hold period from the date the Options are granted, and the option agreements and the certificates representing such Shares will bear the following legend:

"Without prior written approval of TSX Venture Exchange and compliance with all applicable securities legislation, the securities represented by this certificate may not be sold, transferred, hypothecated or otherwise traded on or through the facilities of TSX Venture Exchange or otherwise in Canada or to or for the benefit of a Canadian resident until [insert date that is four months and a day after the date of issuance of the Options]."

Options shall be evidenced by a share option agreement, instrument or certificate in such form not inconsistent with this Plan as the Board may from time to time determines provided for under Subsection 3.2(e) (substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule A).

8. Certain Adjustments

8.1 In the event of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering or any other corporate change involving a change to the Shares at any time after the grant of any Option to any Optionee and prior to the expiration of the term of such Option, the Corporation shall deliver to such Optionee at the time of any subsequent exercise of his or her Option in accordance with the terms hereof, in lieu of the number of Optioned Shares to which he or she was entitled upon such exercise, but for the same aggregate consideration therefore, such number of Optioned Shares as such Optionee would have held as a result of such change if on the record date thereof the Optionee had been the registered holder of the number of Optioned Shares to which he was previously entitled upon such exercise.


8.2 In the event the Corporation should declare and pay a special cash dividend or other distribution out of the ordinary course, a special dividend in specie on the Shares, or a stock dividend other than in the ordinary course, the Option Price of all Options outstanding on the record date of such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by an amount equal to the cash payment or other distribution or the fair market value of the dividend in specie or stock dividend or other distribution, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion but subject to all necessary regulatory approvals.

9. Change of Control Event

9.1 If at any time when an Option granted under this Plan remains unexercised with respect to any Shares and:

(a) a bona fide offer to purchase all of the issued Shares of the Corporation is made by a third party;

(b) the Corporation proposes to sell all or substantially all of its assets and undertakings;

(c) the Corporation proposes to merge, amalgamate or be absorbed by or into any other corporation (save and except for a Subsidiary) under any circumstances which involve or may involve or require the liquidation of the Corporation, a distribution of its assets among its shareholders, or the termination of the corporate existence of the Corporation;

(d) the Corporation proposes an arrangement as a result of which all of the outstanding Shares of the Corporation would be acquired by a third party; or

(e) any other form of transaction is proposed which the majority of the Board determines is reasonably likely to have similar effect any of the foregoing (each a "Change of Control Event"),

(f) then upon completion of any of the foregoing transactions, the Board may require that an Option granted under this Plan may be exercised (whether or not such Option has vested), as to all or any of the Optioned Shares in respect of which such Option has not previously been exercised, by the Optionee at any time up to and including (but not after) the Expiry Time of the Option; and

(g) the Corporation may, require the acceleration of the time for the exercise of the said Option and of the time for the fulfillment of any conditions or restrictions on such exercise, and all such changes shall be final and binding on all Options granted under this Plan.

9.2 Upon completion of any of the transactions referred to in Section 9.1, an Optionee who thereafter shall exercise an Option granted under this Plan shall accept in lieu of the number of Optioned Shares to which such Optionee was entitled upon such exercise, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property which such Optionee would have been entitled to receive as a result of such transaction if, on the effective date, the Optionee had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which such Optionee was entitled to upon exercise, except that if the Corporation is not able to procure compliance with this provision by the issuer or payee of the shares, securities or other property then the Optionee shall accept the Optioned Shares that the Optionee would be entitled to receive on exercise of the Option.


9.3 For greater certainty, and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Plan, the Board shall have the power, in its sole discretion, in any Change of Control Event which may or has occurred, to make such arrangements as it shall deem appropriate for the exercise of outstanding Options including, without limitation, to modify the terms of this Plan and/or the Options, to amend or accelerate the vesting of any Option, to permit the exercise of any or all remaining Options prior to or in conjunction with completion of such transaction provided that, no acceleration of the vesting of Options held by Optionees performing Investor Relations Activities shall occur without the prior written consent of the Exchange. If the Board shall exercise such power, the Options shall be deemed to have been amended to permit the exercise thereof in whole or in part by the Optionee at any time or from time to time as determined by the Board prior to or in conjunction with completion of such transaction.

10. Amendment or Discontinuance of the Plan

10.1 The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, or from time to time amend the terms of the Plan or of any Option granted under the Plan and any stock option agreement relating thereto, provided that any such suspension, termination or amendment:

(a) complies with applicable law and the requirements of the Exchange, including applicable requirements relating to requisite shareholder approval and prior approval of the Exchange or any other relevant regulatory body;

(b) is, in the case of an amendment that materially adversely affects the rights of any Optionee, made with consent of such Optionee; and

(c) is, in the case of any reduction in the Option Price of Options held by Optionees that are Insiders at the time of the proposed reduction, subject to approval by disinterested shareholders of the Corporation in accordance with the Exchange Manual.

10.2 If the Plan is terminated, the provisions of the Plan and any administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations adopted by the Board and in force on the date of termination will continue in effect as long as any Option or any rights pursuant thereto remain outstanding and, notwithstanding the termination of the Plan, the Board will remain able to make such amendments to the Plan or the Options as they would have been entitled to make if the Plan were still in effect.

10.3 No amendment, suspension or discontinuance of the Plan may contravene the requirements of the Exchange or any securities commission or regulatory body to which the Plan or the Corporation is now or may hereafter be subject.


11. Withholding Obligations

11.1 The Corporation may withhold from any amount payable to an Optionee, either under the Plan or otherwise, such amounts as are required by law to be withheld or deducted as a consequence of his or her exercise of Options or other participation in this Plan ("Withholding Obligations"). The Corporation shall have the right, in its discretion, to satisfy any Withholding Obligations by:

(a) selling or causing to be sold, on behalf of any Optionee, such number of Shares issued to the Optionee on the exercise of Options as is sufficient to fund the Withholding Obligations;

(b) retaining the amount necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligations from any amount which would otherwise be delivered, provided or paid to the Optionee by the Corporation, whether under this Plan or otherwise;

(c) requiring the Optionee, as a condition of exercise under Article 3 to (i) remit the amount of any such Withholding Obligations to the Corporation in advance; (ii) reimburse the Corporation for any such Withholding Obligations; or (iii) cause a Broker who sells Shares acquired by the Optionee on behalf of the Optionee to withhold from the proceeds realized from such sale the amount required to satisfy any such Withholding Obligations and to remit such amount directly to the Corporation; and/or

(d) making such other arrangements as the Corporation may reasonably require.

The sale of Shares by the Corporation, or by a broker engaged by the Corporation (the "Broker"), under clause 11.1 above will be made on the Exchange. The Optionee consents to such sale and grants to the Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to effect the sale of such Shares on his or her behalf and acknowledges and agrees that (i) the number of Shares sold shall, at a minimum, be sufficient to fund with Withholding Obligations net of all selling costs, which costs are the responsibility of the Optionee and which the Optionee hereby authorizes to be deducted from the proceeds of such sale; (ii) in effecting the sale of any such shares, the Corporation or the Broker will exercise its sole judgement as to the timing and the manner of sale and will not be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price; and (iii) neither the Corporation nor the Broker will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale of such Shares including any loss relating to the pricing, manner or timing of such sales or any delay in transferring any Shares to an Optionee or otherwise. The Optionee further acknowledges that the sale price of Shares will fluctuate with the market price of the Corporation's Shares and no assurance can be given that any particular price will be received upon any sale.

12. Miscellaneous Provisions

12.1 The operation of this Plan and the issuance and exercise of all Options and Optioned Shares contemplated by this Plan are subject to compliance with all applicable laws, and all rules and requirements of the Exchange.

12.2 As a condition of participating in the Plan, each Optionee agrees to comply with all applicable law and the requirements of the Exchange, and to fully cooperate with the Corporation in doing all such things, including executing and delivering all such agreements, undertakings or other documents or furnishing all such information as is reasonably necessary to facilitate compliance with such laws, rules and requirements, including all Withholding Obligations.


12.3 Participation in the Plan is voluntary and does not constitute a condition of employment or continued employment or service. An Optionee shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to any of the Optioned Shares underlying any Option until the date of issuance of a certificate for Shares upon the exercise of such Option, in full or in part, and then only with respect to the Shares represented by such certificate or certificates. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such share certificate is issued.

12.4 Nothing in the Plan or any Option shall confer upon an Optionee any right to continue or be re-elected as a director of the Corporation or any right to continue in the employ or engagement of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or affect in any way the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate his or her employment or engagement at any time; nor shall anything in the Plan or any Option be deemed or construed to constitute an agreement, or an expression of intent, on the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to extend the employment or engagement of any Optionee beyond the time which he or she would normally be retired pursuant to the provisions of any present or future retirement plan of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or any present or future retirement policy of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or beyond the time at which he or she would otherwise be retired pursuant to the provisions of any contract of employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

12.5 An Option shall be personal to the Optionee and shall be non-assignable and non- transferable (whether by operation of law or otherwise), except as provided for herein. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of an Option contrary to the provisions of the Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon an Option, the Option shall, at the election of the Corporation, cease and terminate and be of no further force or effect whatsoever. Notwithstanding the above, if the Optionee is a Company that is wholly-owned by an Eligible Person, the Option may be transferred or assigned between the Optionee and the Eligible Person associated with the Optionee.

12.6 The Plan (including any amendment to the Plan), the terms of the issue or grant of any Option under the Plan, the grant and exercise of Options hereunder, and the Corporation's obligation to sell and deliver Optioned Shares upon the exercise of Options, shall be subject to all applicable law and the requirements of the Exchange, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, be necessary or advisable. The Corporation shall not be obliged by any provision of the Plan or the grant of any Option hereunder to issue or sell Shares in violation of such laws, rules and regulations or any condition of such approvals.

12.7 The Plan and all matters to which reference is made herein shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

12.8 This Plan shall be effective as of August 20, 2020.

2.2 Administration of the Plan

Subject to Section 2.4, this Plan shall be administered by the Board.

2.3 Authority of the Board

The Board shall have the full power to administer this Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to:

(b) adopt, amend, suspend and rescind such rules and regulations for administration of this Plan as the Board may deem necessary in order to comply with the requirements of this Plan, or in order to conform to any law or regulation or to any change in any laws or regulations applicable thereto;

(c) determine the individuals or companies to whom RSUs may be awarded provided that the Board, together with such individuals or companies, are responsible for ensuring and confirming that such person is a bona fide employee, consultant or management company employee of any member of the Real Group and therefore eligible as a Participant;

(d) award such RSUs on such terms and conditions as it determines including, without limitation: the time or times at which RSUs may be awarded; the time or times when each RSU shall vest and the term of each RSU; whether restrictions or limitations are to be imposed on the Shares the Corporation may elect to issue in settlement of all or a portion of the Award Value of vested RSUs and the nature of such restrictions or limitations, if any; any acceleration or waiver of termination or forfeiture regarding any RSU; in each case, based on such factors as the Board may determine appropriate, in its sole discretion;

(e) take any and all actions permitted by this Plan; and

(f) make any other determinations and take such other action in connection with the administration of this Plan that it deems necessary or advisable.


5

2.4 Delegation of Authority

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may, from time to time, delegate to a committee (the "Committee") of the Board all or any of the powers conferred on the Board under this Plan. In such event, the Committee will exercise the powers delegated to it by the Board in the manner and on the terms authorized by the Board. Any decision made or action taken by the Committee arising out of or in connection with the administration or interpretation of this Plan in this context is final and conclusive.

The Board or the Committee may delegate or sub-delegate to any director or officer of the Corporation the whole or any part of the administration of this Plan and shall determine the scope of such delegation or sub-delegation in its sole discretion.

2.5 Discretionary Relief

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any condition set out herein if it determines that specific individual circumstances warrant such waiver.

2.6 Amendment or Discontinuance of the Plan

(a) The Board may amend this Plan in any way, or discontinue this Plan altogether, and may amend, in any way, any RSU granted under this Plan at any time without the consent of a Participant, provided that such amendment shall not adversely alter or impair any RSU previously granted under the Plan or any related RSU Agreement, except as otherwise permitted hereunder and further provided that no amendment will cause the Plan or any RSU to cease to comply with paragraph (k) of the definition of "salary deferral arrangement" in subsection 248(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada). In addition, the Board may, by resolution, make any amendment to this Plan or any RSU granted under it (together with any related RSU Agreement) without shareholder approval, provided however, that the Board will not be entitled to amend this Plan or any RSU granted under it without shareholder (disinterested shareholder approval if applicable) and, if applicable, TSXV approval, in order to: (i) increase the maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to this Plan; (ii) cancel an RSU and subsequently issue to the holder of such RSU a new RSU in replacement thereof; (iii) extend the term of an RSU, but not beyond the Expiry Date; (iv) permit the assignment or transfer of an RSU other than as provided for in this Plan; (v) add to the categories of persons eligible to participate in this Plan; (vi) remove or amend Sections 4.4 (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Plan; (vii) remove or amend this Section 2.6(a); or (viii) in any other circumstances where TSXV and shareholder approval is required by the TSXV.

(c) On termination of this Plan, any outstanding awards of RSUs under this Plan shall immediately vest and the Award Value underlying the RSUs shall be paid to the Participants in accordance with and upon compliance with Section 4.6. This Plan will finally cease to operate for all purposes when (i) the last remaining Participant receives payment in respect of the Award Value underlying all RSUs credited to the Participant's Account, or (ii) all unvested RSUs expire in accordance with the terms of this Plan and the relevant RSU Agreements.


6

2.7 Final Determination

Any determination or decision by, or opinion of, the Board, the Committee or a director or officer of the Corporation made or held pursuant to the terms set out herein shall be made or held reasonably and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned, including, but not limited to, the Corporation, the Participants and their beneficiaries and legal representatives.

Subject to Section 2.5, all rights, entitlements and obligations of Participants under this Plan are set forth in the terms hereof and cannot be modified by any other documents, statements or communications, except by amendment to the terms set out herein referred to in Section 2.6.

2.8 Withholding Taxes

When a Participant or other person becomes entitled to receive a payment in respect of any RSUs, the Corporation or a member of the Real Group shall have the right to require the Participant or such other person to remit to the Corporation or to a member of the Real Group, as the case may be, an amount sufficient to satisfy any withholding tax requirements relating thereto. Unless otherwise prohibited by the Committee or by applicable law, satisfaction of the withholding tax obligation may be accomplished by any of the following methods or by a combination of such methods:

(a) the tendering by the Participant of a cash payment to the Corporation, or a member of the Real Group, as the case may be;

(b) where the Corporation has elected to issue Shares to the Participant, the withholding by the Corporation or a member of the Real Group, as the case may be, from the Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant such number of Shares as it determines are required to be sold by the Corporation, or a member of the Real Group, as the case may be, as agent for and on behalf of the Participant, to satisfy the total withholding tax obligation (net of selling costs, which shall be paid by the Participant). The Participant consents to such sale and grants to the Corporation, or a member of the Real Group, as the case may be, an irrevocable power of attorney to effect the sale of such Shares and acknowledges and agrees that neither the Corporation nor any member of the Real Group accepts any responsibility for the price obtained on the sale of such Shares; or

(c) the withholding by the Corporation or a member of the Real Group, as the case may be, from any cash payment otherwise due to the Participant;

provided, however, that the sum of any cash so paid or withheld and the Fair Market Value of any Shares so withheld is sufficient to satisfy the total withholding tax obligation. Any reference in this Plan to the Award Value or payment of cash or issuance of Shares in settlement thereof is expressly subject to this Section 2.8.

2.9 Taxes

Participants (or their beneficiaries) shall be responsible for reporting and paying all taxes with respect to any RSUs under the Plan, whether arising as a result of the grant or vesting of RSUs or otherwise. Neither the Corporation nor the Board make any guarantees to any person regarding the tax treatment of an RSU or payments made under the Plan and none of the Corporation or any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to a Participant with respect thereto. In the event the Corporation applies in a local jurisdiction for a favourable and/or reduced tax route in such jurisdiction, and if the Plan or the grant fails to qualify for this reduced tax route, for any reason, the Participant in this jurisdiction shall bear the full responsibility for the taxes and the Corporation shall bear no liability what so ever to the Participant for such tax treatment. The Corporation will provide each Participant with (or cause each Participant to be provided with) a T4 slip or such information return as may be required by applicable law to report income, if any, arising upon the grant or vesting of rights under this Plan by a Participant for income tax purposes.


7

2.10 Information

Each Participant shall provide the Corporation with all of the information (including personal information) that it requires in order to administer this Plan.

2.11 Account Information

Information pertaining to the RSUs in Participants' Accounts will be made available to the Participants at least annually in such manner as the Corporation may determine and shall include such matters as the Board or the Committee may determine from time to time or as otherwise may be required by law.

2.12 Indemnification

Each member of the Board or Committee is indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation against any cost or expense (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Corporation) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the terms hereof to the extent permitted by applicable law. This indemnification is in addition to any rights of indemnification a Board or Committee member may have as director or otherwise under the by-laws of the Corporation, any agreement, any vote of shareholders, or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

ARTICLE III

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN

3.1 Participation

The Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine, or shall delegate to the Committee the authority to determine, which Participants will participate in this Plan.

3.2 RSU Agreement

A Participant shall confirm acknowledgement of an award of RSUs made to such Participant in such form as determined by the Board from time to time (the "RSU Agreement"), within such time period and in such manner as specified by the Board. If acknowledgement of an award of RSUs is not confirmed by a Participant within the time specified, the Corporation reserves the right to revoke the crediting of RSUs to the Participant's Account.

3.3 Participant's Agreement to be Bound

Participation in this Plan by any Participant shall be construed as irrevocable acceptance by the Participant of the terms and conditions set out herein and all rules and procedures adopted hereunder and as amended from time to time.


8

ARTICLE IV TERMS OF THE PLAN

4.1 Grant of RSUs

Subject to Section 3.2, an award of RSUs pursuant to this Plan will be made and the number of such RSUs awarded will be credited to each Participant's Account, effective as of the Award Date. The number of RSUs to be credited to each Participant's Account shall be determined by the Board, or the Committee delegated by the Board to do so, each in its sole discretion.

4.2 Credits for Dividends

Following the declaration and payment of dividends on the Shares, the Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine to make a cash payment to a Participant in respect of outstanding vested RSUs credited to the Participant's Account and subject to the Participant providing an executed exercise notice (a "Dividend Equivalent"). Such Dividend Equivalent, if any, shall be computed by dividing: (a) the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid per Share by the number of RSUs recorded in the Participant's Account on the record date for the payment of such dividend, by (b) the Dividend Market Value, with fractions computed to three decimal places. Payment of any such Dividend Equivalent will be made forthwith following any such determination by the Board and in any event within thirty (30) days of such determination.

4.3 Vesting

The Board or the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine the time during which RSUs shall vest (except that no RSU, or portion thereof, may vest after the Expiry Date) and whether there shall be any other conditions or performance criteria to vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, at its sole discretion at any time or in the RSU Agreement in respect of any RSUs granted, accelerate or provide for the acceleration of vesting in whole or in part of RSUs previously granted. The Award Value of any RSU shall be determined as of the applicable Vesting Date.

4.4 Limits on Issuances

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan:

(a) the maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to RSUs under this Plan shall be limited to 28,267,516 (being 20% of the issued and outstanding Shares as at July 16, 2020), less the number of Shares issuable pursuant to all other Security Based Compensation Arrangements;

(b) the number of Shares reserved for issuance to any one Participant retained as a consultant to provide services to any of the entities comprising the Real Group under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements in any 12 month period shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Shares;

(c) unless the Corporation has received disinterested shareholder approval to do so, the number of Shares reserved for issuance to any one Participant under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements in any 12 month period will not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares calculated as at the date of the grant to such Participant;

(d) unless the Corporation has received disinterested shareholder approval to do so the number of Shares issuable to Insiders, at any time, under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares; and

(e) unless the Corporation has received disinterested shareholder approval to do so the number of Shares issued to Insiders, within any one year period, under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares calculated at the date of the grant to any Insider.


9

For the purposes of this Section 4.4, any increase in the issued and outstanding Shares (whether as a result of the issue of Shares from treasury in settlement of the Award Value underlying vested RSUs or otherwise) will not increase the number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to this Plan. Shares issued from treasury in settlement of an Award Value underlying vested RSUs will not become available for grant under this Plan.

RSUs (or the Award Value thereof) that are cancelled, surrendered, terminated or that expire prior to the final Vesting Date or in respect of which the Corporation has not elected to issue Shares from treasury in respect thereof shall result in such Shares that were reserved for issuance thereunder being available to be issued, at the election of Corporation, in respect of a subsequent grant of RSUs pursuant to this Plan to the extent of any Shares which have not been issued from treasury in respect of any such RSU.

For purposes of the calculations in this Section 4.5 only, it shall be assumed that all issued and outstanding RSUs will be settled by the issuance of Shares from treasury, notwithstanding the Corporation's right pursuant to Section 4.6 to settle the Award Value underlying vested RSUs in cash (if applicable) or by purchasing Shares on the open market.

In addition to the terms set out herein, the administration and limitations of this Plan will be subject to the provisions of TSXV Policy 4.4 - Incentive Stock Options, as applicable.

4.5 RSU Terms

The term during which a RSU may be outstanding shall, subject to the provisions of this Plan requiring or permitting the acceleration or the extension of the term, be such period as may be determined from time to time by the Board or the Committee, but subject to the rules of any stock exchange or other regulatory body having jurisdiction (but in no case shall the term of an RSU extend beyond the Expiry Date).

In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee, or unless the Corporation and a Participant agree otherwise in an RSU Agreement or other written agreement (including an employment or consulting agreement), each RSU shall provide that if a Participant shall cease to be a director or officer of or be in the employ of, or a consultant or other Participant to, any of the entities comprising the Real Group for any reason whatsoever including, without limitation, retirement, resignation or involuntary termination (with or without cause), as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, before all of the awards respecting RSUs credited to the Participant's Account have vested or are forfeited pursuant to any other provision hereof, (i) such Participant shall cease to be a Participant as of the Forfeiture Date, (ii) the former Participant shall forfeit all unvested awards respecting RSUs credited to the Participant's Account effective as at the Forfeiture Date, (iii) any Award Value corresponding to any vested RSUs remaining unpaid as of the Forfeiture Date shall be paid to the former Participant in accordance with Section 4.6, and (iv) the former Participant shall not be entitled to any further payment from this Plan.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph or anything else contained in this Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee, or unless the Corporation and a Participant agree otherwise in an RSU Agreement or other written agreement (including an employment or consulting agreement), if a Participant shall cease to be a director or officer of or be in the employ of, or a consultant or other Participant to, any of the entities comprising the Real Group due to the death of the Participant, any unvested RSUs in the deceased Participant's Account effective as at the time of the Participant's death shall be deemed to have vested immediately prior to the Forfeiture Date with the result that the deceased Participant shall not forfeit any unvested RSUs and the Award Value corresponding to all RSUs credited to such Participant's Account shall be paid to the legal representative of the deceased former Participant's estate in accordance with Section 4.6 after receipt of satisfactory evidence of the Participant's death from the authorized legal representative of the deceased Participant.


10

Where a Vesting Date occurs on a date when a Participant is subject to a Black-Out Period, such Vesting Date shall be extended to a date which is within ten (10) business days following the end of such Black-Out Period, and further provided that (i) if any such extension would cause the Vesting Date or Vesting Dates to extend beyond the Expiry Date, the amounts to be paid on such Vesting Date or Vesting Dates shall be paid on the Expiry Date notwithstanding the Black-Out Period, and (ii) if a Forfeiture Date occurs in respect of a Participant after the original Vesting Date then any unvested RSUs credited to the Participant's Account effective as of the Forfeiture Date that would have vested as of the original Vesting Date but for the Black-Out Period, shall be deemed to have vested immediately prior to the Forfeiture Date, but, subject to subparagraph (i), the Award Value of any such-vested RSUs shall be determined as of the Vesting Date as so extended by the provisions above, and any payment thereof shall be made only after such determination.

This Plan does not confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuation of employment by or service provision to any of the entities comprising the Real Group, nor does it interfere in any way with the right of the Participant or any of the entities comprising the Real Group to terminate the Participant's employment or service provision at any time.

4.6 Payment in Respect of RSUs

On the Vesting Date, the Corporation, at its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the option of settling the Award Value payable in respect of an RSU by any of the following methods or by a combination of such methods:

(a) payment in cash

(b) payment in Shares acquired by the Corporation on the Exchange; or

(c) payment in Shares issued from the treasury of the Corporation.

The Corporation shall not determine whether the payment method shall take the form of cash (if applicable) or Shares until the Vesting Date, or some reasonable time prior thereto. A holder of RSUs shall not have any right to demand, be paid in, or receive Shares in respect of the Award Value underlying any RSU at any time. Notwithstanding any election by the Corporation to settle the Award Value of any vested RSUs, or portion thereof, in Shares, the Corporation reserves the right to change its election in respect thereof at any time up until payment is actually made, and the holder of such vested RSUs shall not have the right, at any time to enforce settlement in the form of Shares of the Corporation.

Any amount payable to a Participant in respect of vested RSUs shall be paid to the Participant as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date and in any event within thirty (30) days of the Vesting Date and prior to the Outside Payment Date (provided that any amount payable with respect to a Vesting Date that occurs after the Forfeiture Date, but before the RSU has terminated in accordance with an applicable provision of Section 4.6, must occur not later than the Expiry Date).

Where the Corporation elects to pay any amounts pursuant to vested RSUs by issuing Shares, and the determination of the number of Shares to be delivered to a Participant in respect of a particular Vesting Date would result in the issuance of a fractional Share, the number of Shares deliverable on the Vesting Date shall be rounded down to the next whole number of Shares. No certificates representing fractional Shares shall be delivered pursuant to this Plan nor shall any cash amount be paid at any time in lieu of any such fractional interest.

ARTICLE V
EFFECT OF CORPORATE EVENTS

5.1 Alterations in Shares

In the event:

(a) of any change in the Shares through subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, merger or otherwise; or

(b) that any rights are granted to all or substantially all shareholders to purchase Shares at prices substantially below Fair Market Value; or

(c) that, as a result of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other transaction, the Shares are converted into or exchangeable for any other securities or property;

then the Board may make such adjustments to this Plan, to any RSUs and to any RSU Agreements outstanding under this Plan as the Board may, in its sole discretion, consider appropriate in the circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement of amounts to be paid to Participants hereunder.

5.2 Merger and Sale, etc.

Except in the case of a transaction that is a Change of Control and to which Section 5.3 applies, if the Corporation enters into any transaction or series of transactions whereby the Corporation or all or substantially all of the assets would become the property of any other trust, body corporate, partnership or other person (a "Successor"), whether by way of takeover bid, acquisition, reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, transfer, sale or otherwise, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction the Corporation and the Successor will execute such instruments and do such things as the Board or the Committee may determine are necessary to establish that upon the consummation of such transaction the Successor will assume the covenants and obligations of the Corporation under this Plan and the RSU Agreements outstanding on consummation of such transaction. Any such Successor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation under this Plan and RSU Agreements with the same effect as though the Successor had been named as the Corporation herein and therein and thereafter, the Corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Plan and such RSU Agreements and the obligation of the Corporation to the Participants in respect of the RSUs shall terminate and be at an end and the Participants shall cease to have any further rights in respect thereof including, without limitation, any right to acquire Shares upon vesting of the RSUs.

5.3 Change of Control

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan but subject to any provision to the contrary contained in an RSU Agreement or other written agreement (such as an agreement of employment) between the Corporation and a Participant, if there takes place a Change of Control, the Board or the Committee shall have the absolute discretion to determine if all issued and outstanding RSUs shall vest (whether or not then vested) upon the Change of Control and the Vesting Date shall be the date which is immediately prior to the time such Change of Control takes place, or at such earlier time as may be established by the Board or the Committee, in its absolute discretion, prior to the time such Change of Control takes place.

ARTICLE VI GENERAL

6.1 Compliance with Laws

The Corporation, in its sole discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of any Shares that it elects to issue pursuant to any RSU to such date as the Committee may consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, except that in no event may the issuance of such Shares in respect of a RSU occur after the Outside Payment Date. The Corporation shall not be required to qualify for resale pursuant to a prospectus or similar document any Shares that it elects to issue pursuant to the Plan, provided that, if required, the Corporation shall notify the Exchange and any other appropriate regulatory bodies in Canada and the United States of the existence of the Plan and the granting of RSUs hereunder in accordance with any such requirements.

6.2 General Restrictions and Assignment

Except as required by law, the rights of a Participant hereunder are not capable of being assigned, transferred, alienated, sold, encumbered, pledged, mortgaged or charged and are not capable of being subject to attachment or legal process for the payment of any debts or obligations of the Participant.

The rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned by the Corporation to a Successor to the business of the Corporation.

6.3 Market Fluctuations

No amount will be paid to, or in respect of, a Participant under this Plan to compensate for a downward fluctuation in the price of Shares, nor will any other form of benefit be conferred upon, or in respect of, a Participant for such purpose. The Plan will be unfunded.

The Corporation makes no representations or warranties to Participants with respect to this Plan or the RSUs whatsoever. Participants are expressly advised that the value of any RSUs and Shares under this Plan will fluctuate as the trading price of Shares fluctuates.

In seeking the benefits of participation in this Plan, a Participant agrees to exclusively accept all risks associated with a decline in the market price of Shares and all other risks associated with the holding of RSUs.

6.4 No Shareholder Rights

Until Shares have actually been issued and delivered should the Corporation elect to so issue Shares in accordance with the terms of the Plan, a Participant to whom RSUs have been granted shall not possess any incidents of ownership of such Shares including, for greater certainty and without limitation, the right to receive dividends, if any, on such Shares and the right to exercise voting rights in respect of such Shares.

6.5 Section 409A

This Plan, the RSUs and payments made to U.S. Participants pursuant to this Plan are intended to comply with, or qualify for an exemption from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed consistently therewith and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with that intention. Terms defined in this Plan shall have the meanings given to such terms under Section 409A of the Code if and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Corporation reserves the right, to the extent it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend the Plan to ensure that all RSUs issued to U.S. Participants are awarded in a manner that qualifies for exemption from, or complies with, Section 409A, provided, however, that the Corporation makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to an award of RSUs, and the U.S. Participant or his or her estate, as the case may be, is and shall at all times be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes and penalties under Section 409A. The Corporation, its affiliates, directors, officers and agents shall have no liability to a U.S. Participant, or any other party, if an RSU that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant, or for any action taken by the Committee.

6.6 Governing Law

The validity, construction and effect of this Plan and any actions taken or relating to this Plan shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

6.7 Currency

All amounts paid or values to be determined under this Plan shall be in Canadian dollars.

6.8 Severability

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this document shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision and any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be severed from this document.

6.9 Effective Time

This Plan shall be effective as of August 20, 2020.
