COVID-19 GUIDANCE

In the context of the effort to mitigate potential risk to the health and safety associated with COVID-19 and in compliance with the orders and directives of the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the City of Guelph, the shareholders are being discouraged from attending the Meeting in person. All shareholders are encouraged to vote on the matters before the Meeting by proxy in the manner set out herein and in the accompanying management information circular of the Corporation dated August 19, 2021 (the "Circular"). If a shareholder wishes to attend to Meeting in person, shareholders must provide the Corporation with proof that they have been fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.

Voting

All Shareholders are invited to attend the Meeting and may attend in person or may be represented by proxy. A "beneficial" or "non-registered" Shareholder will not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting common shares registered in the name of his/her/its broker; however, a beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder and vote the common shares in that capacity. Only Shareholders as of the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting. Shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting in person, or any adjournments or postponements thereof, are requested to complete, date and sign the enclosed form of proxy (registered holders) or voting instruction form (beneficial holders) and return it in the envelope provided. To be effective, the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form must be mailed or faxed so as to reach or be deposited with Capital Transfer Agency ULC (in the case of registered holders) at 390 Bay Street, Suite 920, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2Y2, Fax Number: 416.350.5008, prior to the Proxy Deadline, failing which such votes may not be counted, or your intermediary (in the case of beneficial holders) with sufficient time for them to file a proxy by the Proxy Deadline.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

Notice is also hereby given that the Corporation has decided to use the notice-and-access method of delivery of meeting materials for the Meeting for beneficial owners of common shares of the Corporation (the "Non-Registered Holders") and for registered shareholders. The notice-and-access method of delivery of meeting materials allows the Corporation to deliver the meeting materials over the internet in accordance with the notice-and-access rules adopted by the Ontario Securities Commission under National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer. Under the notice-and-access system, registered shareholders will receive a form of proxy and the Non-Registered Holders will receive a voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of a paper copy of the notice of Meeting, the management information circular, the annual consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the financial year ended March 31, 2021 and related management's discussion and analysis and other meeting materials (collectively the "Meeting Materials"), shareholders receive a notification with information on how they may access such materials electronically. The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and will also reduce the cost of printing and mailing the Meeting Materials to shareholders. Shareholders are reminded to view the Meeting Materials prior to voting. The Corporation will not be adopting stratification procedures in relation to the use of notice-and access provisions.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

GENERAL INFORMATION RESPECTING THE MEETING

This management information circular ("Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Zen Graphene Solutions Ltd. (the "Corporation") for use at the annual meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders (the "Shareholders") of common shares ("Common Shares") of the Corporation to be held on Monday, September 27, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) at Delta Guelph Hotel, 50 Stone Rd W, Guelph, ON N1G 0A9 for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of annual meeting of Shareholders (the "Notice of Meeting").

These persons will receive no compensation for such solicitation other than their regular fees or salaries. The cost of the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Corporation.

Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), arrangements have been made with clearing agencies, brokerage houses and other financial intermediaries to forward proxy-related materials to the beneficial owners of the Common Shares.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Appointment of Proxies

A Shareholder who is unable to attend the Meeting, in person is requested to complete and sign the enclosed form of proxy and to deliver it to Capital Transfer Agency ULC: (i) by mail or hand delivery to 390 Bay Street, Suite 920, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2Y2; or (ii) by facsimile at 416.350.5008; and (iii) by Email at info@capitaltransferagency.com. In order to be valid and acted upon at the Meeting, the form of proxy must be received no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on Thursday, September 23, 2021. Late instruments of proxy may be accepted or rejected by the Chairman of the Meeting in his discretion and the Chairman is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late instruments of proxy.

If you are a beneficial holder of Common Shares and have received these materials through your broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary, please complete and return the form of proxy or voting instruction form provided to you by your broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary in accordance with the instructions provided therein.

The document appointing a proxy must be in writing and executed by the Shareholders or his attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers of the Corporation. A Shareholder submitting a form of proxy has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Shareholder) to represent him or her at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the form of proxy furnished by the Corporation. To exercise that right, the name of the Shareholder's appointee should be legibly printed in the blank space provided. In addition, the Shareholder should notify the appointee of the appointment, obtain his or her consent to act as appointee and instruct the appointee on how the Shareholder's Common Shares are to be voted. Shareholders who are not registered shareholders should refer to "Notice to Beneficial Holders of Common Shares" below.

Revocation of Proxy

A Shareholder who has submitted a form of proxy as directed hereunder may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof. If a person who has given a proxy personally attends the Meeting at which that proxy is to be voted, that person may revoke the proxy and vote in person. In addition to the revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or his attorney or authorized agent and deposited with Capital Transfer Agency ULC at any time up to 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on Thursday, September 23, 2021 (i) by mail or by hand delivery to 390 Bay Street, Suite 920, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2Y2; or, (ii) by facsimile to 416.350.5008,or (iii) by Email at info@capitaltransferagency.com, or deposited with the Secretary of the Corporation before the commencement of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, and upon either of those deposits, the proxy will be revoked.

Notice to Beneficial Holders of Common Shares

The information set out 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 do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to herein as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name in the records of the Corporation. Those Common Shares will most 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). Shares held by brokers or their nominees can be voted (for or against resolutions or withheld from voting) only upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, the broker/nominees are prohibited from voting shares for their clients. Subject to the following discussion in relation to NOBOs (as defined herein), the Corporation does not know for whose benefit the Common Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co., a broker or another nominee, are held.

- 3 -

There are two categories of Beneficial Shareholders under applicable securities regulations for purposes of dissemination to Beneficial Shareholders of proxy-related materials and other security holder materials and requests for voting instructions from such Beneficial Shareholders. Non-objecting beneficial owners ("NOBOs") are Beneficial Shareholders who have advised their intermediary (such as brokers or other nominees) that they do not object to their intermediary disclosing ownership information to the Corporation, consisting of their name, address, e-mail address, securities holdings and preferred language of communication. Canadian Securities Laws restricts the use of that information to matters strictly relating, to the affairs of the Corporation. Objecting beneficial owners ("OBOs") are Beneficial Shareholders who have advised their intermediary that they object to their intermediary disclosing such ownership information to the Corporation.

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Corporation has elected to send the proxy-related materials for use in connection with the Meeting (the "Meeting Materials") via Notice-and-Access. NOBOs who are resident in the United States will directly receive Meeting Materials. The Corporation will not be mailing the Meeting, Materials to the OBOs. The Corporation does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward the Meeting Materials to OBOs, and an OBO will not receive the Meeting Materials unless the OBO's intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

Applicable securities regulations require intermediaries, on receipt of Meeting Materials that seek voting, instructions from Beneficial Shareholders indirectly, to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings on Form 54-101F7. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to appear in person and vote at the Meeting should be appointed as their own representatives at the Meeting in accordance with the directions of their intermediaries and Form 54-101F7. Beneficial Shareholders can also write the name of someone else whom they wish to appoint to attend the Meeting and vote on their behalf. Unless prohibited by law, the person whose name is written in the space provided in Form 54- 101F7 will have full authority to present matters to the Meeting and vote on all matters that are presented at the Meeting, even if those matters are not set out in Form 54- 10IF7 or this Circular. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"). Broadridge typically mails a voting instruction form in lieu of a form of proxy. Beneficial Shareholders are requested to complete and return the voting instruction form to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders can call a toll-free telephone number to vote the shares held by them or access Broadridge's dedicated voting website to deliver their voting instructions. Broadridge will then provide aggregate voting instructions to the Corporation's transfer agent and registrar, which will tabulate the results and provide appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

All references to Shareholders in this Circular, instrument of proxy and Notice of Meeting are to registered Shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.

Voting

Common Shares represented by any properly executed proxy in the accompanying form will be voted for or against, or withheld from voting, as the case may be, on any ballot that may be called for in accordance with the instructions given by the Shareholder. In the absence of such direction, such Common Shares will be voted in favour of the matters set out herein.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the applicable notice of meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this Circular, management of the Corporation does not know of any such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meetings. However, if any other matters that are not now known to management should properly come before the Meetings, the form of proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES

IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Other than as disclosed herein, no director or executive officer of the Corporation who has held such position at any time since the beginning of the Corporation's last financial year, each proposed nominee for election as a director of the Corporation, and associates or affiliates of the foregoing persons, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matters to be acted upon at the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The authorized share capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value. As of August 19, 2021, there are 89,189,935 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters to be acted upon at the Meeting. The record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive notice of the Meeting has been fixed at Friday, August 13, 2021 (the "Record Date"). All such holders of record of Common Shares on the Record Date are entitled either to attend and vote thereat in person the Common Shares held by them or, provided a completed and executed proxy shall have been delivered to the Corporation's transfer agent, Capital Transfer Agency Inc., within the time specified in the Notice, to attend and to vote thereat by proxy the Common Shares held by them.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation, as of the date hereof, no person or company beneficially owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, voting securities of the Corporation carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The purpose of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis is to provide information about the Corporation's executive compensation philosophy, objectives, and processes and to discuss compensation decisions relating to the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and, if applicable, its three most highly compensated individuals acting as, or in a like capacity as, executive officers of the Corporation whose total compensation for the most recently completed financial year was individually equal to more than $150,000 (the "NEOs" or "Named Executive Officers"), during, the Corporation's most recently complete financial year, being the financial year ended March 31, 2021 (the "Last Financial Year"). The only NEOs of the Corporation during the Last Financial Year were Francis Dube, Executive Chairman of the Corporation, Brian Bosse, Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, Greg Fenton, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and Peter Wood, President of the Corporation.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee of the Board ("Compensation Committee") is currently comprised of three directors, namely Greg Fenton (Chair), Frank Klees and Eric Wallman CPA, CA. Messrs. Klees and Wallman are independent within the meaning of Canadian Securities Administrator's National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101").

The Compensation Committee's purpose is, among other things, to: (i) review and make recommendations to the Board at least annually regarding, the Corporation's remuneration and compensation policies, including short and long-term incentive compensation plans and equity- based plans, bonus plans, pension plans (if any), executive stock option plans (including the Corporation's incentive stock option plan) and grants, and benefit plans; (ii) have the sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant to assist in the evaluation of director compensation, including sole authority to approve fees and other terms of the retention; (iii) review and approve at least annually all compensation arrangements with the senior executives of the Corporation; (iv) review and approve at least annually all compensation arrangements with the directors of the Corporation; and (v) review the executive compensation sections disclosed in the Corporation's management proxy circular distributed to the Shareholders in respect of the Corporations annual meetings of Shareholders.

Compensation Process

The Board relies on the knowledge and experience of the directors thereon and the members of the Compensation Committee to set appropriate levels of compensation for senior officers. Neither the Corporation nor the Board, nor the Compensation Committee currently has any contractual arrangement with any executive compensation consultant who has a role in determining, or recommending the amount or form of senior officer compensation.

The Compensation Committee reviews the various elements of the NEOs' compensation in the context of the total compensation package (including salary, consulting fees and prior awards under the Corporation's stock option plan) and recommends to the Board the NEOs' compensation packages. The Compensation Committee's recommendations regarding NEO compensation are presented to the independent members of the Board for their consideration and approval.

- 6 -

Principles/Objectives of the Compensation Program

The primary goal of the Corporation's executive compensation program is to attract, motivate and retain top quality individuals at the executive level. The program is designed to ensure that the compensation provided to the Corporation's senior officers is determined with regard to the Corporation's business strategy and objectives and financial resources, and with the view of aligning the financial interests of the senior officers with the financial interests of the shareholders of the Corporation.

Compensation Program Design and Analysis of Compensation Decisions

Standard compensation arrangements for the Corporation's senior officers are composed of the following elements, which are linked to the Corporation's compensation and corporate objectives as follows:

Compensation Element	Link to Compensation Objectives	Link to Corporate Objectives
Base Salary and/or Consulting Fees	Attract and Retain	Competitive pay ensures access to skilled employees necessary to achieve corporate objectives.
Stock Options	Motivate and Reward Align interests with shareholders	Long-term incentives motivate and reward senior officers to increase shareholder value by the achievement of long- term corporate strategies and objectives.

Performance and Compensation

The Corporation is an emerging nano-technology company and has not generated any revenue from operations to date. As a result, the use of traditional performance standards such as corporate profitability is not considered by the Board or Compensation Committee to be appropriate in the evaluation of corporate or NEO performance. The compensation of senior officers is based, in part, on achievement of the Corporation's business plans. The Board did not establish any quantifiable criteria during the Last Financial Year with respect to base compensation payable or the amount of equity compensation granted to NEOs and did not benchmark against a peer group of companies.

Base Salaries and Consulting Fees

The Corporation provides senior officers with base salaries or consulting fees which represent their minimum compensation for services rendered, or expected to be rendered. NEOs' base compensation depends on the scope of their experience, responsibilities, leadership skills, performance, length of service, generally industry trends and practices competitiveness, and the Corporation's existing financial resources. Base salaries are reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee.

- 7 -

Stock Options

The grant of options pursuant to the Corporation's stock option plan is an integral component of the compensation arrangements of the senior officers of the Corporation. The Board believes that the grant of options to senior officers and common share ownership by such officers serves to motivate such officers to strive towards achievement of the Corporation's long-term strategic objectives, which will benefit all shareholders of the Corporation. Options are awarded to employees of the Corporation by the Board, based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee. Decisions with respect to options granted are based upon the individual's level of responsibility and their contribution towards the Corporation's goals and objectives, and additionally may be awarded in recognition of the achievement of a particular goal or extraordinary service. The Board considers the overall number of options that are outstanding relative to the number of outstanding Common Shares in determining whether to make any new grants of options and the size of such grants.

Compensation Risk Considerations

The Compensation Committee is responsible for considering, establishing and reviewing executive compensation programs, and whether the programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. The Corporation believes the programs are balanced and do not motivate unnecessary or excessive risk taking. The Corporation does not currently have a policy that restricts directors or NEOs from purchasing financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity. However, to the knowledge of the Corporation, as of the date of hereof, no director or NEO of the Corporation has participated in the purchase of such financial instruments.

Base salaries are fixed in amount thus do not encourage risk taking. While annual incentive awards focus on the achievement of short term or annual goals and short- term goals may encourage the taking of short-term risks at the expense of long term results, the Corporation's annual incentive award program represents a small percentage of employee's compensation opportunities. Annual incentive awards are based on various personal and company-wide achievements. Such performance goals are subjective and include achieving individual and/or corporate targets and objectives, as well as general performance in day-to-day corporate activities which would trigger the award of a bonus payment to the NEO. The determination as to whether a target has been met is ultimately made by the Board (after receiving recommendations of the Compensation Committee) and the Board reserves the right to make positive or negative adjustments to any bonus payment if they consider them to be appropriate. Funding of the annual incentive awards is capped at the Corporation level and the distribution of funds to the executive officers is at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Stock option awards are important to further align employees' interests with those of the Shareholders. The ultimate value of the awards is tied to the Corporation's stock price and since awards are staggered and subject to long-term vesting schedules, they help ensure that NEOs have significant value tied in long-term stock price performance.

Notes:

Corporation's financial statements.

(2)Dr. Dube resigned as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation on December 8, 2020. Mr. Fenton was appointed the Chief Executive Officer in his stead.

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER
EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

Stock Option Plan

The Corporation adopted an incentive stock option plan dated August 1, 2010 (the "Plan"), and the Plan is the Corporation's only equity compensation plan. As of the date of this Circular, the Corporation has 6,873,334 options outstanding to purchase Common Shares. The plan was last approved by shareholders at the Corporation's last annual meeting of Shareholders on September 28, 2020.

The Plan is a rolling stock option plan, under which 10% of the outstanding Common Shares at any given time are available for issuance thereunder. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation by (i) providing certain employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation (collectively, the "Optionees") with additional performance incentives; (ii) encouraging Common Share ownership by the Optionees; (iii) increasing the proprietary interest of the Optionees in the success of the Corporation; (iv) encouraging the Optionees to remain with the Corporation; and (v) attracting new employees, officers, directors and consultants to the Corporation.

The following information is intended to be a brief description and summary of the material features of the Plan.

(b)The aggregate maximum number of Common Shares available for issuance from treasury under the Plan and all of the Corporation's other security based compensation arrangements at any given time is 10% of the outstanding Common Shares as at the date of grant of an option under the Plan, subject to adjustment or increase of such number pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Any Common Shares subject to an option which has been granted under the Plan and which has been cancelled, repurchased, expired or terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan without having been exercised will again be available under the Plan.

(c)The exercise price of an option shall be determined by the Board at the time each option is granted, provided that such price shall not be less than (i) if the Common Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX- V"), the last closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX-V; or (ii) if the Common Shares are not listed on the TSX-V, in accordance with the rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed at the time of the grant; or (iii) if the Common Shares are not listed on any stock exchange, the minimum exercise price as determined by the Board.

(d)The aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to insiders of the Corporation at any given time, or within a 12 month period, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Common Shares then outstanding, unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained. The aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to any one person or entity within any 12 month period shall not exceed 5% of the total number of the Common Shares then outstanding unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained.

(e)The Board may determine when any option will become exercisable and may determine that the option will be exercisable immediately upon the date of grant, or in instalments or pursuant to a vesting, schedule. However, unless the Board determines otherwise, options issued pursuant to the Plan are generally subject to a vesting schedule as follows: (i) ⅓ upon the date of grant; (ii) ⅓ upon the first anniversary of the date of grant; and (iii) ⅓ upon the second anniversary of the date of grant.

- 14 -

(f)In the event an Optionee ceases to be eligible for the grant of options under the Plan, options previously granted to such person will cease to be exercisable within a period of 90 days after the date such person ceases to be eligible under the Plan, or such longer or shorter period as determined by the Board, provided that no option shall remain outstanding for any period which exceeds the earlier of: (i) the expiry date of such option; and (ii) 12 months following the date such person ceases to be eligible under the Plan.

(g)In the event of a change of control (as defined in the Plan), all options outstanding shall be immediately exercisable.

Adoption of Omnibus Long Term Incentive Plan

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve the adoption of the Corporation's Omnibus Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"), and pass the special resolution set forth below (the "LTIP Resolution"). The complete text of the LTIP is set out in Schedule "B" to this Circular and a summary of its material terms is provided below.

Any existing options that were granted prior to the effective date of the LTIP pursuant to the Corporation's existing stock option plan (the "Legacy Stock Option Plan"), which was last approved by the Shareholders on September 28, 2020, will continue in accordance with their terms. Upon the effective date of the LTIP, however, options shall no longer be granted pursuant to the Legacy Option Plan and shall only be granted pursuant to the LTIP.

The LTIP will allow for a variety of equity-based awards that provide different types of incentives to be granted to certain of our executive officers, employees and consultants (in the case of options ("Options"), performance share units (''PSUs'') and restricted share units (''RSUs'')). Options, PSUs and RSUs are collectively referred to herein as ''Awards''. Each Award will represent the right to receive Common Shares, or in the case of PSUs and RSUs, Common Shares or cash, in accordance with the terms of the LTIP. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the text of the LTIP.

Under the terms of the LTIP, the Board, or if authorized by the Board, the Compensation Committee, may grant Awards to eligible participants, as applicable. Participation in the LTIP is voluntary and, if an eligible participant agrees to participate, the grant of Awards will be evidenced by a grant agreement with each such participant. The interest of any participant in any Award is not assignable or transferable, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

The LTIP will provide those appropriate adjustments, if any, will be made by the Board in connection with a reclassification, reorganization or other change of the Corporation's Common Shares, share split or consolidation, distribution, merger or amalgamation, in the Common Shares issuable or amounts payable to preclude a dilution or enlargement of the benefits under the LTIP.

The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of Options in the aggregate, under the Option portion of the LTIP and the Legacy Stock Option Plan, collectively, will be 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time, which represents 8,918,993 Common Shares as of the date of this Circular. As of the date of this Circular, a total of 6,863,334 Options are issued and outstanding under the Legacy Stock Option Plan representing approximately 7.7% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

In addition, the aggregate number of PSUs and RSUs issuable to all Participants must not exceed 8,918,993. For the purposes of calculating the maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the LTIP and the Legacy Stock Option Plan, any issuance from treasury by the Corporation that is issued in reliance upon an exemption under applicable stock exchange rules applicable to equity-based compensation arrangements used as an inducement to person(s) or company(ies) not previously employed by and not previously an insider of the Corporation shall not be included. All of the Common Shares covered by the cancelled or terminated Awards will automatically become available Common Shares for the purposes of Awards that may be subsequently granted under the LTIP.

- 20 -

The maximum number of Common Shares that may be: (i) issued to insiders of the Corporation within any one-year period; or (ii) issuable to insiders of the Corporation at any time, in each case, under the LTIP alone, or when combined with all of the Corporation's other security-based compensation arrangements, including the Legacy Stock Option Plan, cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time determined on a non-diluted basis.

An Option shall be exercisable during a period established by the Board which shall commence on the date of the grant and shall terminate no later than ten years after the date of the granting of the Option or such shorter period as the Board may determine. The minimum exercise price of an Option will be determined based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX-V on the last trading day before the date such Option is granted. The LTIP will provide that the exercise period shall automatically be extended if the date on which it is scheduled to terminate shall fall during a black-out period. In such cases, the extended exercise period shall terminate 10 business days after the last day of the black-out period. In order to facilitate the payment of the exercise price of the Options, the LTIP has a cashless exercise feature pursuant to which a participant may elect to undertake either a broker assisted ''cashless exercise'' or a ''net exercise'' subject to the procedures set out in the LTIP, including the consent of the Board, where required.

The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the rights of holders of Options under the LTIP, including termination for cause, resignation, retirement, termination other than for cause, and death or long-term disability, subject to the terms of a participant's employment agreement, grant agreement and the change of control provisions described below:

Event Provisions	Provisions
Termination for cause	Immediate forfeiture of all vested and unvested options.
Resignation	The earlier of the original expiry date and 90 days after resignation to exercise vested options or such longer period as the Board may determine in its sole discretion, so long as it is not more than one year following the date of resignation.
Retirement	All unvested options will vest in accordance with their vesting schedules, and all vested options held may be exercised until the earlier of the expiry date of such options or one (1) year following the retirement date.
Termination or cessation	All unvested options may vest subject to pro ration over the applicable vesting or performance period and shall expire on the earliest of ninety (90) days after the effective date of the termination date, or the expiry date of such option.
Death or long-term disability	Forfeiture of all unvested options and the earlier of the original expiry date and 12 months after date of death or long-term disability to exercise vested options.

Change of Control If a participant is terminated without "cause" or resigns for good reason during the 12-month period following a Change of Control, or after the Corporation has signed a written agreement to effect a change of control but before the change of control is completed, then any unvested options will immediately vest and may be exercised prior to the earlier of thirty (30) days of such date or the expiry date of such options

The terms and conditions of grants of RSUs and PSUs, including the quantity, type of award, grant date, vesting conditions, vesting periods, settlement date and other terms and conditions with respect to these Awards, will be set out in the participant's grant agreement. Impact of certain events upon the rights of holders of these types of Awards, including termination for cause, resignation, retirement, termination other than for cause and death or long-term disability, will be set out in the participant's grant agreement.

In connection with a change of control of the Corporation, the Board will take such steps as are reasonably necessary or desirable to cause the conversion or exchange or replacement of outstanding Awards into, or for, rights or other securities of substantially equivalent (or greater) value in the continuing entity, as applicable. If the surviving successor or acquiring entity does not assume the outstanding Awards, or if the Board otherwise determines in its discretion, the Corporation shall give written notice to all participants advising that the LTIP shall be terminated effective immediately prior to the change of control and all Awards, as applicable, shall be deemed to be vested and, unless otherwise exercised, settle, forfeited or cancelled prior to the termination of the LTIP, shall expire or, with respect to the RSUs and PSUs be settled, immediately prior to the termination of the LTIP. In the event of a change of control, the Board has the power to: (i) make such other changes to the terms of the Awards as it considers fair and appropriate in the circumstances, provided such changes are not adverse to the participants; (ii) otherwise modify the terms of the Awards to assist the participants to tender into a takeover bid or other arrangement leading to a change of control, and thereafter; and (iii) terminate, conditionally or otherwise, the Awards not exercised or settled, as applicable, following successful completion of such change of control. If the change of control is not completed within the time specified therein (as the same may be extended), the Awards which vest shall be returned by the Corporation to the participant and, if exercised or settled, as applicable, the common shares issued on such exercise or settlement shall be reinstated as authorized but unissued common shares and the original terms applicable to such Awards shall be reinstated.

The Board may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate the LTIP at any time, or from time to time, amend, revise or discontinue the terms and conditions of the LTIP or of any securities granted under the LTIP and any grant agreement relating thereto, subject to any required regulatory and TSX-V approval, provided that such suspension, termination, amendment, or revision will not adversely alter or impair any Award previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the LTIP or as required by applicable laws.

The Board may amend the LTIP or any securities granted under the LTIP at any time without the consent of a participant provided that such amendment shall: (i) not adversely alter or impair any Award previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the LTIP; (ii) be in compliance with applicable law and subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the TSX-V; and (iii) be subject to shareholder approval, where required by law, the requirements of the TSX-V or the LTIP, provided however that shareholder approval shall not be required for the following amendments and the Board may make any changes which may include but are not limited to:

- 22 -

•amendments of a general "housekeeping" or clerical nature that, among others, clarify, correct or rectify any ambiguity, defective provision, error or omission in the Plan;

•changes that alter, extend or accelerate the terms of vesting or settlement applicable to any Award (other than in respect of any Options held by persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities for which prior approval of the TSX-V shall be required at all times when the Corporation is listed on the TSX-V);

Change of Business

Background

The Corporation commenced operations as a junior mineral exploration company focused primarily on mineral deposits in Northern Ontario, Canada, and was actively engaged in exploring mining projects and held an interest in exploration licences on properties in the "Arc of Fire" area in Northern Ontario, Canada. The properties, located north of Lake Superior and west of James Bay in north-western Ontario, Canada, were unpatented, non-contiguous, and consisted of nine claim blocks, including 234 claims comprised of 3,549 claim units over a total of 56,784 ha.

Within such claim blocks, the Corporation still holds a 100% undivided interest in Claim Block 4F, which hosts the igneous-hosted, fluid-derived graphite deposit (the "Albany Graphite Project).

The Corporation filed an independent preliminary economic assessment technical report (the "PEA") in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") on the Albany Graphite Project. The PEA, titled "Technical Report on the Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Albany Graphite Project, Northern Ontario, Canada" dated July 9, 2015 has been filed on SEDAR under the Corporation's issuer profile.

During the following years, the Corporation did extensive work to determine potential uses for the graphite materials extracted from the Albany Graphite Project, including engaging in testing and studies on graphene materials. Based on this work, the Corporation made numerous announcements relating to its work with graphene, as more particular set out below.

On April 4, 2019, the Corporation announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with The University of Manchester in the United Kingdom to explore opportunities of collaboration in the areas of development and commercialization of graphene and other 2D materials and accelerate the adoption of these materials into commercially viable markets.

On May 30, 2019, the Corporation announced that it had signed an initial agreement to in-license certain intellectual properties from a Canadian University that, when combined with the graphite from the Albany Graphite Project, produced low cost, environmentally friendly graphene.

On June 10, 2019, the Corporation entered into a memorandum of understanding with the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus, School of Engineering, pursuant to which the Corporation agreed to contribute a minimum of $300,000 over three years in support of graphene research and application development. Pursuant to the agreement, the parties agreed to collaborate on graphene-focused research projects relevant to applications of interest to potential end-user partners.

In November 2019, the Corporation entered into an 18-month exclusive initial option agreement with the University of Guelph for intellectual property regarding an electrochemical exfoliation ("ECE") process to product Graphene Oxide ("GO").

On June 8, 2020, the Corporation reported that it would be providing Albany Pure™ Graphene Oxide produced by its Guelph facility for development of a rapid, ultrasensitive and low-cost biosensor to detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen and/or antibodies in COVID-19 suspected patients. This research was funded by an initial grant of approximatively $400,000 from the National Sciences and Engineering Council ("NSERC"). Additionally, the Corporation announced that it continues development of a potential virucidal graphene oxide-based ink that could be applied to fabrics including N95 face masks and other personal protective equipment ("PPE") for significantly increased protection.

On July 9, 2020, the Corporation announced that Evercloak Inc. ("Evercloak") and the Corporation had been awarded $125,000 each as part of a Next Generation Manufacturing Canada Project. The project entitled "Advancing Large-Scale Graphene and Thin-Film Membrane Manufacturing" will support the scale-up of GO production by the Corporation to supply GO to Evercloak for their scale up and optimizing activities.

On September 3, 2020, the Corporation announced that it received two NSERC Alliance COVID- 19 project grants, a Mitacs Elevate Postdoctoral Fellowship grant, and two Mitacs Accelerate grants for a total of $355,000 to its university collaborators.

On September 22, 2020, the Corporation reported that after 5 months of optimization, it had developed a novel graphene-based virucidal ink with 99% effectiveness against the COVID-19 virus, and had filed its first provisional patent relating to certain medical uses for this graphene- based virucidal product. The Corporation reported, among other things, that: its Virucidal ink is 99% effective against the COVID-19 virus; the Corporation's Virucidal ink was still 99% effective a minimum of thirty-five days after application to N95 mask material; and the Corporation was developing plans to expedite commercialization of this product, pending regulatory approval. The Corporation further reported that it received results from the latest round of testing of its proprietary, virucidal graphene based ink formulation at a Western University laboratory. Two graphene-based ink samples at different concentrations were applied to N95 mask filtration media and then exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 and tested for antiviral properties in accordance with ISO 18184:2019. Very significant virucidal activity was recorded and reported, achieving 99% inactivation of the virus for both samples in three separate tests each, and verified through a second round of testing. Of significance, the antiviral effect of the second round of testing was on material that was prepared thirty-five days earlier demonstrating the ongoing virucidal activity of the Corporation's proprietary ink.

On September 28, 2020, the Corporation announced that the University of Guelph filed a patent application for its ECE process to produce graphene oxide from Albany Pure^TM Graphite. This process was designed to be scalable, low cost, low energy, and environmentally friendly to produce high-quality, few-layer graphene oxide at the Corporation's Guelph facility. The Corporation holds an exclusive worldwide license from the University of Guelph in respect of this patent application.

On September 30, 2020, the Corporation announced that the Naval Material Technology Management section of the Royal Canadian Navy has partnered with the Corporation and Evercloak as a testing organization, and has agreed to provide in-kind donations of test services from the Naval Engineering Test Establishment. The tests will compare the efficiency of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") unit produced with the Evercloak dehumidification membrane technology to the incumbent HVAC system that is currently in use on the Royal Canadian Navy's Halifax-class frigates.

On October 9, 2020, the Corporation announced that it signed a two-year extension with Chemisar Laboratories Inc. to provide various consulting services which will include the use of 4,300 square feet of office and laboratory space in Guelph, Ontario commencing on January 1, 2021. The additional 2000 sq ft will be utilized to manufacture the Corporation's patent-pending virucidal coating. The Corporation was granted a right of first refusal for the purchase of the facility.

On October 15, 2020, the Corporation announced that it signed a new research collaboration agreement with the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt ("DLR"), the German Aerospace Center, to investigate the use of Albany Pure^TM graphene-based nanomaterials in the fabrication of novel carbon aerogel composites. The goal of this collaborative research project titled, "Development of Innovative Composites based on Carbon Aerogels", is to develop electrode materials for new generation batteries and will build on the collaboration between the Corporation, DLR, and Dr. Lukas Bichler at the University of British Columbia-Okanagan Campus.

On November 9, 2020, the Corporation announced that it had entered into a letter of intent dated November 6, 2020 (the "First Trebor LOI") with Trebor Rx Corp. ("Trebor"), a Canadian PPE mask manufacturer with an initial production facility located in Collingwood, Ontario. The First Trebor LOI sets out the framework for an agreement between the parties, including the initial purchase of the Corporation's patent-pending graphene-based virucidal coating for a minimum of 100 million masks/filters, with pricing of these mask/filters being variable based on a number of factors. This initial minimum order is contemplated to be for the first year, and is subject to approvals from Health Canada.

On November 12, 2020, the Corporation announced that it has signed a three-year lease with an option for another three years on 25,680 square feet of newly built B.1 industrial zoning space in Guelph, Ontario, which is now the Corporation's manufacturing facility and which is intended to be the Corporation's future corporate headquarters.

On November 30, 2020, the Corporation announced that it had purchased, for immediate delivery, approximately 200 kg of GO, a key ingredient in the manufacturing of the Corporation's patent- pending graphene based virucidal coating. In addition, the Corporation has negotiated terms to purchase additional GO by the tonne commencing in January 2021. The contemplated purchase is intended to be used by the Corporation in order to fulfill the deliverables contemplated under the First Trebor LOI and to provide additional supply capacity for the Corporation's virucidal coating in the PPE and HVAC filtration markets.

On December 7, 2020, the Corporation announced that in partnership with Professor Arjmand, the Corporation was awarded a $780,000 alliance grant ($480,000 from NSERC and $300,000 from a combination of cash and in-kind contributions from the Corporation). Alliance Grants are awarded through a competitive peer review process, and this proposal, titled "Synthesis of Graphene Nanomaterials and Development of Their Multifunctional Polymer Nanocomposites", is the Corporation's highest single monetary grant award from NSERC to date and supports NSERC's growing interest in nanomaterials.

On December 22, 2020, the Corporation announced that it had developed a potential graphene- based antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal compound. Recently received testing results from the University Health Network/Mount Sinai Hospital Department of Microbiology in Toronto indicated that this patent-pending formulation could be a medical breakthrough in the treatment of numerous human contracted pathogens including, upper and lower respiratory tract infections, where COVID-19 is a major contributor, as well as drug resistant organisms. Significantly, the Corporation also reported that it had further filed for patent protection for these graphene-based compounds and uses.

On January 13, 2021 the Corporation provided an update in respect of its proprietary, graphene- based coating that is 99.9% effective against aerobic bacteria (gram-positive and gram-negative), fungal and viral activity, including COVID-19: Updates included receipt of confirmation from a major Canadian certification company that filter material flow rates and pressure drop were not affected by the application of the coating; and confirmation from The BIG-nano Corporation that treated mask material achieved excellent dispersion and coverage, and the coating did not block fiber pores. Both of such confirmations help to validate that the Corporation's coating does not inhibit breathability in polypropylene mask material or flow rates in air filtration media.

On January 18, 2021, the Corporation announced that it had reached a second agreement in principle (together with the First Trebor LOI, the "Trebor Agreements in Principle") with Trebor for the application of its antimicrobial coating on nitrile gloves sourced or produced by Trebor. The agreement in principle respecting the nitrile gloves contemplates substantially the same terms as the non-binding First Trebor LOI. The Corporation intends to negotiate and finalize a binding definitive agreement with Trebor upon receipt by Trebor of confirmation from Health Canada that Trebor can market and sell the coated PPE products.

On February 4, 2021 the Corporation announced initial phase 2 results of seven day repeated dose safety testing for potential human pharmaceutical use of its graphene-based compound. The Corporation reported that groups of three males and three females were dosed with either 50 mg/kg, 250 mg/kg, or 1,000 mg/kg of the Corporation's patent-pending antimicrobial compound once per day for seven days. The compound was administered orally close to the throat area of the rats daily for seven days at dose levels of 50 mg/kg, 250 mg/kg, or 1,000 mg/kg. Based on the clinical observations, food consumption, body weights, blood clinical pathology and post-mortem examination, there were no test article related findings of concern in any of the dose levels evaluated in the study. Tissues from the main organs were then prepared for histopathology examination and these results will be included with the final report.

On March 2, 2021 the Corporation announced successful phase 2 results from cytotoxicity testing of its graphene-based compound. No adverse effects were recorded after seven days of repeated dosing with concentrations many thousands of times higher than those found to be 99.9% effective against viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The Corporation reported that testing was conducted by a fully accredited Pharmaceutical Contract Research Organization that is inspected by and in compliance with each of the US Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada. Results included: no significant abnormal clinical observations noted during the seven day repeated dose study; no findings in blood clinical pathology attributed to the dosing; no significant or clinically relevant alterations in absolute organ weights, organ/body weight, or organ/brain weight ratios; no abnormal findings from histopathology attributed to the dosing; analysis of all generated data indicated that the Corporation's compound was well tolerated following a seven-day repeated oral dose administration.

On March 3, 2021 the Corporation announced that it has been advised by Trebor that their surgical masks treated with the Corporation's antimicrobial coating have passed Health Canada testing requirements as a level 2 medical device. The coated masks were tested at a Health Canada approved facility in line with American Society for Testing and Materials standards.

Funds Available and Principal Purposes

As at the end of July, 2021, the Corporation had working capital of $4,050,000. It is expected that the Corporation will use these funds to fund operations substantially as follows:

Use of Available Funds	Amount ($)
General and administrative costs(1)	2,550,000
Research and Development(2)	1,000,000
Albany Graphite Project Expenditures(3)	300,000
Unallocated working capital	200,000
Total	4,050,000

Notes:

(1)General and administrative expenses are expected to consist of salaries and consulting fees (which includes costs associated with the production of the Corporation anti-microbial coating for PPE), listing fees, transfer agent fees, audit fees, legal fees, office rent and other miscellaneous expenses.

(2)See "Research and Development" below.

(3)Expenditures include environmental studies (long-term baseline watershed studies that were commenced and that the Corporation intends to complete); First Nations outreach, including travel costs and expenditures pursuant to the Implementation Agreement between the Corporation and Constance Lake First Nation; consulting fees relating to the Albany Graphite Project; storage facility and vehicle leases, and claims and other fees to maintain the Albany Graphite Project in good standing.

The Corporation expects that it will use the available funds as indicated above. There may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary. In addition, the Corporation currently has negative operating cash flows and it is expected that a portion of the available funds may be used to fund such negative operating cash flows.

Research and Development

In the near term, using the funds available funds noted above for research and development, the Corporation intends to focus primarily on the development and enhancement of its GO products for use in PPE and potentially other uses such as HVAC solutions. Research, development and testing of the Corporation's products and technology will be conducted at the Corporation's facility in Guelph, Ontario, as well as at laboratories at various universities and other third party laboratories.

The Corporation's anti-microbial coating for PPE is at an advanced stage of development and testing. The Corporation has inventory of the coating and is currently awaiting confirmation from Health Canada that Trebor can begin to market and sell the coated PPE products. Upon receipt of such confirmation from Health Canada, the Corporation expects the sale of its inventory (which the Corporation expects to be sufficient for the next twelve months) of coating to Trebor to begin to produce revenue. The Corporation has also begun early stage work with consultants to assist with the approval process with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Corporation intends to continue enhancing the development of the PPE coating product in order to increase the speed of production of the coating material. The Corporation has budgeted approximately $100,000 of its available funds for this purpose, subject to receipt of confirmations from Health Canada.

- 33 -

The Corporation is also beginning an extensive testing program to occur within the next twelve months, to demonstrate the efficacy of GO coated HVAC filters in current real-time environments. $500,000 has been awarded by Innovation Solutions Canada for this study at CREMCO labs and other government research facilities including the National Research Council. The development of the GO coating for HVAC products is at an early stage, and the Corporation's objectives are to work to demonstrate efficacy of GO coating on filtration media at regular HVAC airflows, and to determine efficacy of GO coated filtration media in a variety of real-time environments. The Corporation has budgeted approximately $300,000 of its available funds for this purpose.

Also within the next twelve months, the Corporation intends to pursue research and development of other products such as incorporating graphene to the development of the aptamer-based, SARS-CoV-2 rapid detection technology with McMaster University. The Corporation will continue to develop aptamers for each SARS-CoV-2 variant of note to be included in the rapid detection test. One further communicable disease will be identified (i.e. Norwalk flu) is also expected to be integrated in the rapid detection system and an aptamer to be developed. New aptamers are expected to require an additional one to two months to be integrated within the pathogen detection system being developed and will require an additional $200,000 for optimization of aptamer printing and sample preparation. The Corporation has budgeted approximately $100,000 of its available funds for this purpose.

The Corporation is also continuing during the next twelve months with the development of graphene enhanced polymers through its partnership with Professor Arjmand as described above. The funds that the Corporation contributes are used to sponsor staff who are researching the following: 3D conductive filaments for a variety of applications, graphene quantum dot synthesis and applications, graphene synthesis, upscaling recycled plastics, magnetic filament fabrication. Novel materials developed through this partnership are intended to be marketed for research applications and synthesized in the existing facilities. When sufficient products demonstrate commercial potential, the Corporation may determine to invest additional funds to begin a pilot plant by the end of 2022. Within the next twelve months, the Corporation intends to seek to fabricate novel filaments through a variety of synthesized procedures including melt-mixing followed by extrusion, explore ways to introduce graphene into natural and latex rubber, and to measure elasticity, modulus and conductivity over a range of temperatures and conditions. The Corporation has budgeted approximately $80,000 of its available funds for this purpose.

The Corporation also intends to do further work to develop rapid virus and pathogen detection systems using graphene. The Corporation will seek to develop: (i) commercially synthesized aptamers for the detection of COVID-19; (ii) aptamer deposition on screen printed electrodes; (iii) an automated detector device that adds the fluidic buffers to the sensor and integrates a potentiostat which measures impedance indicating the presence of absence of the targeted pathogen; and (iv) software that connects the detector to a device and management system. A prototype of the system is expected to be completed in 2022, at which point a final commercialization strategy will be determined based on the market data. The Corporation then intends to request approval for the rapid test under the interim order provision at Health Canada. Within the next twelve months, the Corporation intends to conduct testing, including to seek to synthesize diaptamers from two oglionucleotides, test aptamer for printing and sensitivity, and to optimize buffer agents and printing parameters. The Corporation has budgeted approximately $420,000 of its available funds for this purpose.

TSX-V Requirements

As described above, the Corporation has more recently been focused on the development of nanomaterials and graphene-based technology, using materials from the Albany Graphite Project. The Corporation is currently focused on commercializing a patent-pending graphene- based coating with 99% antimicrobial activity, including against COVID-19, and the potential to use this graphene-based compound as a pharmaceutical product against infectious disease.

Pursuant to the policies of the TSX-V, if an issuer effects a transaction or series or transactions which will redirect its resources and which changes the nature of its business, then it must seek shareholder approval by way of ordinary resolution.

The Board and management of the Corporation recommend the approval of the change of business classification from a "Mining Issuer" to an "Industrial, Technology, or Life Sciences Issuer" in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V. To be effective, resolution must be approved by not less than a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Common Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE CHANGE OF BUSINESS RESOLUTION, UNLESS A SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT HIS, HER, OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED AGAINST THE RESOLUTION.

The text of the resolution to be passed is set out below:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.the changing of the classification of the Corporation by the TSX Venture Exchange from a "Mining Issuer" to an "Industrial, Technology, or Life Sciences Issuer" is hereby approved, and confirmed; and

2.any director or officer of the Corporation be, and such director or officer of the Corporation hereby is, authorized and empowered, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, to execute or to cause to be executed, under seal of the Corporation or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, all such other 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 the foregoing resolution."

Potential Listing on Alternative Stock Exchange and Voluntary De-Listing from TSX Venture Exchange

Management of the Corporation is currently reviewing and considering alternative and/or additional stock exchange listings for the Common Shares. Management is currently undertaking an assessment of various stock exchanges including the Toronto Stock Exchange, NEO Exchange Inc. and the Canadian Securities Exchange in Canada, as well as NASDAQ Inc., and the New York Stock Exchange in the United States (any of such stock exchanges, an "Alternate Exchange"). Upon completion of such assessment, management and the Board of the Corporation may determine it advantageous to voluntarily delist the Common Shares from the TSX-V (the "Voluntary Delisting") in order to proceed with a listing on any of such Alternate Exchanges. Completing a listing of the Corporation's Common Shares on an Alternative Exchange would be conditional on the Corporation satisfying the listing conditions of such exchange. Additionally, the Voluntary Delisting would be subject to the Corporation obtaining any necessary regulatory consents, including the approval of the TSX-V.

- 35 -

Voluntary Delisting

At the Meeting the shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a resolution authorizing the Delisting (the "Voluntary Delisting Resolution"). Pursuant to the policies of the TSX-V, in order to proceed with a Voluntary Delisting the Corporation must obtain a "majority of the minority shareholder approval", being at least a majority of the votes cast on the Voluntary Delisting Resolution at the Meeting by the disinterested shareholders of the Corporation, being all the shareholders of the Corporation other than promoters, directors, officers and other insiders of the Corporation, whether in person or by proxy.

The Board may determine not to present the Voluntary Delisting Resolution to the Meeting or, if the Voluntary Delisting Resolution is presented to the Meeting and approved by shareholders, the Board is authorized, in its sole discretion, to determine not to proceed with the proposed Voluntary Delisting, without further approval of the shareholders. The implementation of the Voluntary Delisting is also conditional upon the Corporation obtaining all necessary regulatory consents.

Voluntary Delisting Resolution

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Voluntary Delisting Resolution, substantially in the form set out below:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.the Corporation is hereby authorized to apply to voluntarily delist the Common Shares from the TSX Venture Exchange;

2.the Corporation is hereby authorized to seek approval from any of the Toronto Stock Exchange, NEO Exchange Inc., the Canadian Securities Exchange, NASDAQ Inc. or the New York Stock Exchange, or such other qualified stock exchange, to list its securities for public trading;

3.notwithstanding that this resolution has been duly passed by the shareholders of the Corporation, the directors of the Corporation be, and they are hereby authorized and empowered to revoke this resolution at any time before it is acted upon and to determine not to proceed with the voluntary delisting of the Common Shares from the TSX Venture Exchange without further approval of the shareholders of the Corporation; and

4.any director or officer of the Corporation be, and such director or officer of the Corporation hereby is, authorized and empowered, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, to execute or to cause to be executed, under seal of the Corporation or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, all such other 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 the foregoing resolution."

To be approved, the Voluntary Delisting Resolution requires the affirmative vote of (i) at least a majority of the votes cast on the Voluntary Delisting Resolution at the Meeting, whether in person or by proxy; and (ii) a "majority of the minority shareholder approval" obtained in accordance with the requirements of the TSX-V, being at least a majority of the votes cast on the Voluntary Delisting Resolution at the Meeting by the disinterested shareholders of the Corporation, being all the shareholders of the Corporation other than promoters, directors, officers and other insiders of the Corporation, whether in person or by proxy. To the knowledge of the Corporation, as at the Record Date, such persons own an aggregate of 3,457,821 Common Shares representing approximately 3.9% of all issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the Record Date.

- 36 -

If the Voluntary Delisting Resolution does not receive the requisite shareholder approval, the Common Shares will continue to be listed on the TSX-V.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE VOLUNTARY DELISTING RESOLUTION. PROXIES RECEIVED IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED FOR THE VOLUNTARY DELISTING RESOLUTION UNLESS A SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT THE COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED AGAINST THE DELISTING RESOLUTION.

Stock Option Plan Approval

The Corporation has adopted a "rolling" stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan") for officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Corporation. The Stock Option Plan was last approved by the disinterested shareholders of the Corporation at the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on September 28, 2020.

The Stock Option Plan provides that the number of Common Shares which may be reserved for issue pursuant to the exercise of stock options (together with Common Shares which may be reserved for issue pursuant to any other share compensation arrangements of the Corporation) is equal to up to 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the date of grant, subject to standard anti-dilution adjustment. This is a "rolling" stock option plan as the number of Common Shares reserved for issue pursuant to the grant of stock options will increase as the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares increases. At no time will more than 10% of the outstanding Common Shares be subject to grant under the Stock Option Plan.

The principal features of the Stock Option Plan are described in more detail below in the section entitled "Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans - Stock Option Plan".

The Stock Option Plan is a "rolling" stock option plan and under Policy 4.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), a listed company on the TSXV is required to obtain the approval of its shareholders for a "rolling" stock option plan at each annual meeting of shareholders.

At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution in the form set out below (the "Stock Option Plan Resolution"), subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting, approving and confirming the Stock Option Plan. In order to pass, the Stock Option Plan Resolution must be approved by a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by all shareholders, present in person or represented by proxy.

The Board is seeking approval of the Stock Option Plan Resolution in the event that the LTIP is not approved by shareholders, applicable regulatory authorities, or it is determined by the Board not to adopt the LTIP.

The text of the Stock Option Plan Resolution to be submitted to the shareholders of the Corporation is set forth below, subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION OF THE SHAREHOLDERS THAT:

- 37 -

1.the stock option plan of the Corporation as described in the management information circular dated August 19, 2021 (the "Stock Option Plan"), be and it is hereby confirmed and approved;

2.the Stock Option Plan may be amended by the directors of the Corporation in order to satisfy the requests of any regulatory authorities or the TSX Venture Exchange (collectively the "Regulatory Requests") without further approval of the shareholders of the Corporation, unless approval of the shareholders of the Corporation is required by the Regulatory Requests; and

3.any director or officer of the Corporation is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, to execute or cause to be executed, under the seal of the Corporation or otherwise and to deliver or to cause to be delivered, all such other deeds, documents, instruments and assurances and to do or cause to be done all such other acts as in the opinion of such director or officer of the Corporation may be necessary or desirable to carry out the terms of the foregoing resolutions."

The Board recommends that shareholders vote for the Stock Option Plan Resolution.

PROXIES RECEIVED IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE STOCK OPTION PLAN RESOLUTION UNLESS A SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT HIS, HER OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED AGAINST SUCH RESOLUTION.

Other Matters

Management of the Corporation knows of no amendment, variation or other matter to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice. However, if any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, the form of proxy furnished by the Corporation will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the persons voting the proxy.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

The Board and senior management consider good corporate governance to be central to the effective and efficient operation of the Corporation. The Board is committed to a high standard of corporate governance practices. The Board believes that this commitment is not only in the best interest of the Shareholders, but that it also promotes effective decision making, at the Board level.

NI 58-101 defines an "independent director" as a director who has no direct or indirect "material relationship" with the issuer. A "material relationship" is as a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a member's independent judgment. The Board maintains the exercise of independent supervision over management by ensuring that the majority of its directors are independent.

The Board is currently comprised of five (5) directors being Brian Bosse, Dr. Francis Dubé, Greg Fenton, Frank Klees and Eric Wallman. Messrs. Klees and Wallman are independent within the meaning of NI 58-101. Messrs. Bosse, Fenton and Dubé are not independent as they are officers of the Corporation and thereby have a "material relationship" with the Corporation.

- 38 -

The Board believes that it functions independently of management and reviews its procedures on an ongoing basis to ensure that it is functioning independently of management. The Board meets without management present, as circumstances require. When conflicts arise, interested parties are precluded from voting on matters in which they may have an interest. In light of the suggestions contained in National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board convenes meetings, as deemed necessary, of the independent directors, at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance.

Other Public Corporation Directorships

The following, member of the Board currently holds a directorship in another reporting, issuer as set forth below:

Name of Director	Name of Reporting Issuer	Market
Brian Bosse	IC Capitalight Corp.	CSE

Orientation and Continuing Education of Board Members

The Board, together with the Nominating Committee (the "Nominating Committee") is responsible for providing a comprehensive orientation and education program for new directors which fully sets out:

•the role of the Board and its committees;

•the nature and operation of the business of the Corporation; and

•the contribution which individual directors are expected to make to the Board in terms of both time and resource commitments.

In addition, the Board, together with the Nominating Committee, is also responsible for providing continuing education opportunities to existing directors so that individual directors can maintain and enhance their abilities and ensure that their knowledge of the business of the Corporation remains current.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct amongst the directors, officers and employees of the Corporation. Copies of the Code of Conduct are available upon written request from the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. The Board is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Corporation's Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct was adopted during the Last Financial Year, and there have been no departures from the Corporation's Code of Conduct since its adoption.

In addition to those matters which, by law, must be approved by the Board, the approval of the Board is required for:

•the Corporation's annual business plan and budget;

•material transactions not in the ordinary course of business; and

- 39 -

•transactions which are outside of the Corporation's existing business.

To ensure the directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in which a director or officer has a material interest, all such matters are considered and approved by the independent directors. Any interested director would be required to declare the nature and extent of his interest and would not be entitled to vote at meetings of directors which evoke such a conflict.

The Corporation believes that it has adopted corporate governance procedures and policies which encourage ethical behaviour by the Corporation's directors, officers and employees.

Nomination of Directors

The Nominating Committee holds the responsibility for the appointment and assessment of directors.

The Nominating Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability among the members of the Board. When considering candidates for director, the Nominating Committee takes into account a number of factors, including the following (although candidates need not possess all of the following characteristics and not all factors are weighted equally):

•Personal qualities and characteristics, accomplishments and reputation in the business community;

•Current knowledge and contacts in the countries and/or communities in which the Corporation does business and in the Corporation's industry sectors or other industries relevant to the Corporation's business; and

•Ability and willingness to commit adequate time to Board and committee matters, and be responsive to the needs of the Corporation.

The Board will periodically assess the appropriate number of directors on the Board and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. If vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, or the size of the Board is expanded, the Nominating Committee will consider various potential candidates for director.

Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating Committee through current directors or management, stockholders or other persons. These candidates will be evaluated at regular or special meeting of the Nominating Committee, and may be considered at any point during the year.

Compensation

The Compensation Committee assists the Board in its oversight role with respect to (i) the Corporation's global human resource strategy, policies and programs, and (ii) all matters relating to the proper utilization of human resources within the Corporation, with special focus on management succession, development and compensation.

The Compensation Committee:

•reviews and makes recommendations to the Board at least annually regarding the Corporation's remuneration and compensation policies, including short and long-term incentive compensation plans and equity- based plans, bonus plans, pension plans (if any), executive stock option plans including the Plan and grants and benefit plans;

- 40 -

•has sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant to assist in the evaluation of director compensation, including sole authority to approve fees and other terms of the retention;

•reviews and approves at least annually all compensation arrangements with the senior executives of the Corporation;

•reviews and approves at least annually all compensation arrangements with the directors of the Corporation; and

•reviews the executive compensation sections disclosed in annual management proxy circular distributed to the shareholders in respect of the Corporation's annual meetings of shareholders.

Advisory Board

The Advisory Board was created to assist the Board with developing the Corporation's corporate strategy. The Current Advisory Board is comprised of Dr. Joseph Korkis, Dr. Yingfu Li and Dr. Ken Reed.

The Board anticipates that additional members will be appointed to this committee from time to time depending on the specific requirements of the Corporation.

Other Board Committees

The Board has no standing committees other than the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating Committee, and the Board Advisory Committee.

Assessments

The Board does not consider formal assessments useful given the stage of the Corporation's business and operations. However, the chairman of the Board meets annually with each director individually, which facilitates a discussion of his contribution and that of other directors. When needed, time is set aside at a meeting of the Board for a discussion regarding the effectiveness of the Board and its committees. If appropriate, the Board then considers procedural or substantive changes to increase the effectiveness of the Board and its committees. On an informal basis, the chairman of the Board is also responsible for reporting to the Board on areas where improvements can be made. Any agreed upon improvements required to be made are implemented and overseen by the Nominating Committee. A more formal assessment process will be instituted as, if, and when the Board considers it to be necessary.

APPENDIX A

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Mandate

The Audit Committee ("Committee") is a committee of the Board of Directors ("the Board").

Oversight Function

Although the designation of a Member as having accounting, or related financial expertise for disclosure purposes is based on that individual's education and experience, which that individual will bring to bear in carrying out his or her duties on the Committee, such designation does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Committee and Board in the absence of such designation. Rather, the role of a Member who is identified as having accounting or related financial expertise, like the role of all Members, is to oversee the process, not to certify or guarantee the internal or external audit of the Corporation's financial information or public disclosure.

Charter Review

The Committee will annually review and reassess the adequacy of this policy and submit any recommended changes to the Board for approval.

Adoption

This Policy was adopted by the Board on August 1, 2010.

An Option is an option granted by the Corporation to a Participant entitling such Participant to acquire a designated number of Shares from treasury at the Exercise Price, subject to the provisions hereof.

Section 3.2Option Awards.

(1)The Board shall, from time to time, in its sole discretion, (i) designate the Eligible Participants who may receive Options under the Plan, (ii) determine the number of Options, if any, to be granted to each Eligible Participant and the date or dates on which such Options shall be granted, (iii) determine the price per Share to be payable upon the exercise of each such Option (the "Exercise Price"), (iv) determine the relevant vesting provisions (including Performance Criteria, if applicable) and (v) determine the Expiry Date, the whole subject to the terms and conditions prescribed in this Plan, in any Option Agreement and any applicable rules of the Stock Exchange.

7

(2)Subject to the terms of any Employment Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Corporation, or the Board expressly providing to the contrary, and except as otherwise provided in a Option Agreement, each Option shall vest as to 1/3 on the first anniversary date of the grant, 1/3 on the second anniversary of the date of grant, and 1/3 on the third anniversary of the date of grant.

(3)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, at all times when the Corporation is listed on the TSXV, the Corporation shall maintain timely disclosure and file appropriate documentation in connection with Option grants made under this Plan in accordance with TSXV Policy 4.4.

Section 3.3Exercise Price.

The Exercise Price for Shares that are the subject of any Option shall be fixed by the Board when such Option is granted, but shall not be less than the Market Value of such Shares at the time of the grant and in any event shall not be less than the Discounted Market Price.

Section 3.4Expiry Date; Blackout Period.

Subject to Section 6.2, each Option must be exercised no later than ten (10) years after the date the Option is granted or such shorter period as set out in the Participant's Option Agreement, at which time such Option will expire (the "Expiry Date"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, each Option that would expire during or within ten (10) Business Days immediately following a Black- Out Period shall expire on the date that is ten (10) Business Days immediately following the expiration of the Black-Out Period. Where an Option will expire on a date that falls immediately after a Black-Out Period, and for greater certainty, not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Black-Out Period, then the date such Option will expire will be automatically extended by such number of days equal to ten (10) Business Days less the number of Business Days after the Black-Out Period that the Option expires.

Section 3.5Exercise of Options.

(1)Subject to the provisions of this Plan, a Participant shall be entitled to exercise an Option granted to such Participant, subject to vesting limitations which may be imposed by the Board at the time such Option is granted.

(2)Prior to its expiration or earlier termination in accordance with the Plan, each Option shall be exercisable as to all or such part or parts of the optioned Shares and at such time or times and/or pursuant to the achievement of such Performance Criteria and/or other vesting conditions as the Board may determine in its sole discretion.

(3)No fractional Shares will be issued upon the exercise of Options granted under this Plan and, accordingly, if a Participant would become entitled to a fractional Share upon the exercise of an Option, or from an adjustment pursuant to Section 6.1, such Participant will only have the right to acquire the next lowest whole number of Shares, and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional interest so disregarded.

Section 3.6Method of Exercise and Payment of Purchase Price.

(1)Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the alternative exercise procedures set out herein, an Option granted under the Plan may be exercisable (from time to time as provided in Section 3.5 hereof) by the Participant (or by the liquidator, executor or administrator, as the case may be, of the estate of the Participant) by delivering an Exercise Notice to the Corporation in the form and manner determined by the Board from time to time, together with cash, a bank draft or certified cheque in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Options and any applicable tax withholdings.

8

(2)Subject to Section 3.6(5), pursuant to the Exercise Notice and subject to the approval of the Board, a Participant may choose to undertake a "cashless exercise" with the assistance of a broker in order to facilitate the exercise of such Participant's Options. The "cashless exercise" procedure may include a sale of such number of Shares as is necessary to raise an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for all Options being exercised by that Participant under an Exercise Notice and any applicable tax withholdings. Pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Participant may authorize the broker to sell Shares on the open market by means of a short sale and forward the proceeds of such short sale to the Corporation to satisfy the Exercise Price and any applicable tax withholdings, promptly following which the Corporation shall issue the Shares underlying the number of Options as provided for in the Exercise Notice.

(3)Subject to Section 3.6(5), in addition, in lieu of exercising any vested Option in the manner described in this Section 3.6(1) or Section 3.6(2), and pursuant to the terms of this Article 3, a Participant may, by surrendering an Option ("Surrender") with a properly endorsed notice of Surrender to the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation, substantially in the form of Schedule "B" to the Option Agreement (a "Surrender Notice"), elect to receive that number of Shares calculated using the following formula:

X = (Y * (A-B)) / A

Where:

X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Participant upon exercising such Options; provided that if the foregoing calculation results in a negative number, then no Shares shall be issued

Y = the number of Shares underlying the Options to be Surrendered

A = the Market Value of the Shares as at the date of the Surrender

B = the Exercise Price of such Options

(5)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the "cashless exercise" provisions contained in each of Section 3.6(2), Section 3.6(3) and Section 3.6(4) shall not apply at all times when the Corporation is listed on the TSXV, and such provisions shall be of no force and effect during such period.

ARTICLE 4 -SHARE UNITS

Section 4.1Nature of Share Units.

A Share Unit is an Award entitling the recipient to acquire Shares, at such purchase price (which may be zero) as determined by the Board, subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Board may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.

Section 4.2Share Unit Awards.

(1)Subject to the provisions herein set forth and any shareholder or regulatory approval which may be required, the Board shall, from time to time, in its sole discretion, (i) designate the Eligible Participants who may receive RSUs and/or PSUs under the Plan, (ii) fix the number of RSUs and/or PSUs, if any, to be granted to each Eligible Participant and the date or dates on which such RSUs and/or PSUs shall be granted, and (iii) determine the relevant conditions and vesting provisions (including, in the case of PSUs, the applicable Performance Period and Performance Criteria, if any) and Restriction Period of such RSUs and/or PSUs, the whole subject to the terms and conditions prescribed in this Plan and in any RSU Agreement.

(2)The RSUs and PSUs are structured so as to be considered to be a plan described in Section 7 of the Tax Act or any successor to such provision.

(3)Subject to the vesting and other conditions and provisions set forth herein and in the RSU Agreement and/or PSU Agreement, the Board shall determine whether each RSU and/or PSU awarded to a Participant shall entitle the Participant: (i) to receive one Share issued from treasury; (ii) to receive the Cash Equivalent of one Share; or (iii) to elect to receive either one Share from treasury, the Cash Equivalent of one Share or a combination of cash and Shares.

(4)Share Units shall be settled by the Participant at any time beginning on the first Business Day following their Share Unit Vesting Determination Date but no later than the Share Unit Settlement Date.

(5)Unless otherwise specified in the RSU Agreements, one-third of RSUs awarded pursuant to a RSU Agreement shall vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant.

(6)Each Non-Employee Director may elect to receive all or a portion his or her annual retainer fee in the form of a grant of RSUs in each fiscal year. The number of RSUs shall be calculated as the amount of the Non-Employee Director's annual retainer fee elected to be paid by way of

RSUs divided by the Market Value. At the discretion of the Board, fractional RSUs will not be issued and any fractional entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(7)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, at all times when the Corporation is listed on the TSXV, no person retained to provide Investor Relations Activities shall receive any grant of Share Units in compliance with TSXV Policy 3.4.

Section 4.3Restriction Period Applicable to Share Units.

The applicable restriction period in respect of a particular Share Unit shall be determined by the Board but in all cases shall end no later than December 31 of the calendar year which is three (3) years after the calendar year in which the Award is granted ("Restriction Period"). For example, the Restriction Period for a grant made in June 2020 shall end no later than December 31, 2024. Subject to the Board's determination, any vested Share Units with respect to a Restriction Period will be paid to Participants in accordance with Article 4, no later than the end of the Restriction Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all unvested Share Units shall be cancelled on the Share Unit Vesting Determination Date (as such term is defined in Section 4.5) and, in any event, no later than the last day of the Restriction Period.

10

Section 4.4Performance Criteria and Performance Period Applicable to PSU Awards.

(1)For each award of PSUs, the Board shall establish the period in which any Performance Criteria and other vesting conditions must be met in order for a Participant to be entitled to receive Shares in exchange for all or a portion of the PSUs held by such Participant (the "Performance Period"), provided that such Performance Period may not expire after the end of the Restriction

Period, being no longer than three (3) years after the calendar year in which the Award was granted. For example, a Performance Period determined by the Board to be for a period of three (3) financial years will start on the first day of the financial year in which the award is granted and will end on the last day of the second financial year after the year in which the grant was made. In such a case, for a grant made on January 4, 2020, the Performance Period will start on January 1, 2020 and will end on December 31, 2023.

(2)For each award of PSUs, the Board shall establish any Performance Criteria and other vesting conditions in order for a Participant to be entitled to receive Shares in exchange for his or her PSUs.

Section 4.5Share Unit Vesting Determination Date.

The vesting determination date means the date on which the Board determines if the Performance Criteria and/or other vesting conditions with respect to a RSU and/or PSU have been met (the "Share Unit Vesting Determination Date"), and as a result, establishes the number of RSUs and/or PSUs that become vested, if any. For greater certainty, the Share Unit Vesting Determination Date in respect of Share Units must fall after the end of the Performance Period, if applicable, but no later than the last day of the Restriction Period.

Settlement of Share Unit Awards.

(1)Subject to the terms of any Employment Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Corporation, or the Board expressly providing to the contrary, and except as otherwise provided in a RSU Agreement and/or PSU Agreement, in the event that the vesting conditions, the Performance Criteria and Performance Period, if applicable, of a Share Unit are satisfied:

(a)all of the vested Share Units covered by a particular grant may, subject to Section 4.6(4), be settled at any time beginning on the first Business Day following their Share Unit Vesting Determination Date but no later than the date that is five (5) years from their Share Unit Vesting Determination Date (the "Share Unit Settlement Date"); and

(b)a Participant is entitled to deliver to the Corporation, on or before the Share Unit Settlement Date, a Share Unit Settlement Notice in respect of any or all vested Share Units held by such Participant.

(2)Subject to Section 4.6(4), settlement of Share Units shall take place promptly following the Share Unit Settlement Date and take the form set out in the Share Unit Settlement Notice through:

11

(a)in the case of settlement of Share Units for their Cash Equivalent, delivery of a bank draft, certified cheque or other acceptable form of payment to the Participant representing the Cash Equivalent;

(b)in the case of settlement of Share Units for Shares, delivery of Shares to the Participant; or

(c)in the case of settlement of the Share Units for a combination of Shares and the Cash Equivalent, a combination of (a) and (b) above.

(3)If a Share Unit Settlement Notice is not received by the Corporation on or before the Share Unit Settlement Date, settlement shall take the form of Shares issued from treasury as set out in Section 4.7(2).

(4)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in the event that a Share Unit Settlement Date falls during a Black-Out Period and the Participant has not delivered a Share Unit Settlement Notice, then such Share Unit Settlement Date shall be automatically extended to the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date that such Black-Out Period is terminated. Where a Share Unit Settlement Date falls immediately after a Black-Out Period, and for greater certainty, not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Black-Out Period, then the Share Unit Settlement Date will be automatically extended by such number of days equal to ten (10) Business Days less the number of Business Days that a Share Unit Settlement Date is after the Black-Out Period.

Section 4.7Determination of Amounts.

(1)Cash Equivalent of Share Units. For purposes of determining the Cash Equivalent of Share Units to be made pursuant to Section 4.6, such calculation will be made on the Share Unit Settlement Date and shall equal the Market Value on the Share Unit Settlement Date multiplied by the number of vested Share Units in the Participant's Account which the Participant desires to settle in cash pursuant to the Share Unit Settlement Notice.

(2)Payment in Shares; Issuance of Shares from Treasury. For the purposes of determining the number of Shares from treasury to be issued and delivered to a Participant upon settlement of Share Units pursuant to Section 4.6, such calculation will be made on the Share Unit Settlement Date and be the whole number of Shares equal to the whole number of vested Share Units then recorded in the Participant's Account which the Participant desires to settle pursuant to the Share Unit Settlement Notice. Shares issued from treasury will be issued in consideration for the past services of the Participant to the Corporation and the entitlement of the Participant under this Plan in respect of such Share Units settled for Shares shall be satisfied in full by such issuance of Shares.

ARTICLE 5-GENERAL CONDITIONS

Section 5.1General Conditions applicable to Awards.

Each Award, as applicable, shall be subject to the following conditions:

(1)Employment - The granting of an Award to a Participant shall not impose upon the Corporation or a Subsidiary any obligation to retain the Participant in its employ in any capacity. For greater certainty, the granting of Awards to a Participant shall not impose any obligation on the Corporation to grant any awards in the future nor shall it entitle the Participant to receive future grants.

12

(2)Rights as a Shareholder - Neither the Participant nor such Participant's personal representatives or legatees shall have any rights whatsoever as shareholder in respect of any Shares covered by such Participant's Awards until the date of issuance of a share certificate to such Participant (or to the liquidator, executor or administrator, as the case may be, of the estate of the Participant) or the entry of such person's name on the share register for the

Shares. 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 or entry of such person's name on the share register for the Shares.

(3)Conformity to Plan - In the event that an Award is granted or an Award Agreement is executed which does not conform in all particulars with the provisions of the Plan, or purports to grant Awards on terms different from those set out in the Plan, the Award or the grant of such Award shall not be in any way void or invalidated, but the Award so granted will be adjusted to become, in all respects, in conformity with the Plan.

(4)Non-Transferability - Except as set forth herein, Awards are not transferable and not assignable. Awards may be exercised only upon the Participant's death, by the legal representative of the Participant's estate, provided that any such legal representative shall first deliver evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of entitlement to exercise any Award. A person exercising an Award may subscribe for Shares only in the person's own name or in the person's capacity as a legal representative.

(5)Hold Period - The granting of an Award (i) to Insiders, or (ii) where the exercise price is at a discount to the Market Price, shall be subject to a four-month hold period in compliance with the applicable policies of the TSXV.

Section 5.2Dividend Share Units.

When dividends (other than stock dividends) are paid on Shares, Participants shall receive additional RSUs and/or PSUs, as applicable ("Dividend Share Units") as of the dividend payment date. The number of Dividend Share Units to be granted to the Participant shall be determined by multiplying the aggregate number of RSUs and/or PSUs, as applicable, held by the Participant on the relevant record date by the amount of the dividend paid by the Corporation on each Share, and dividing the result by the Market Value on the dividend payment date, which Dividend Share Units shall be in the form of RSUs and/or PSUs, as applicable. Dividend Share Units granted to a Participant in accordance with this Section 5.2 shall be subject to the same vesting conditions applicable to the related RSUs and/or PSUs.

Section 5.3Termination of Employment.

(1)Each Share Unit and Option shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a)Termination for Cause. Upon a Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Participant for "cause", all unexercised vested or unvested Share Units and Options granted to such Participant shall terminate on the effective date of the termination as specified in the notice of termination. For the purposes of the Plan, the determination by the Corporation that the Participant was discharged for cause shall be binding on the Participant. "Cause" shall include, among other things, gross misconduct, theft, fraud, breach of confidentiality or breach of the Corporation's Code of Ethics and any reason determined by the Corporation to be cause for termination.

13

(b)Retirement. In the case of a Participant's retirement, any unvested Share Units and/or Options held by the Participant as at the Termination Date will continue to vest in accordance with their vesting schedules, and all vested Share Units and Options held by the Participant at the Termination Date may be exercised until the earlier of the expiry date of such Share Units and Options or one (1) year following the Termination Date, provided that if the Participant is determined to have breached any post-employment restrictive covenants in favour of the Corporation, then any Share Units and/or Options held by the Participant, whether vested or unvested, will immediately expire and the Participant shall pay to the Corporation any "in-the-money" amounts realized upon exercise of Share Units and/or Options following the Termination Date.

(c)Resignation. In the case of a Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Participant due to such Participant's resignation, subject to any later expiration dates determined by the

Board, all Share Units and Options shall expire on the earlier of ninety (90) days after the effective date of such resignation, or the expiry date of such Share Unit or Option, to the extent such Share Unit or Option was vested and exercisable by the Participant on the effective date of such resignation and all unexercised unvested Share Units and/or Options granted to such Participant shall terminate on the effective date of such resignation.

(d)Termination or Cessation. In the case of a Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Participant for any reason (other than for "cause", resignation or death) the number of

Share Units and/or Options that may vest is subject to pro ration over the applicable vesting or performance period and shall expire on the earlier of ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Termination Date, or the expiry date of such Share Units and Options. For greater certainty, the pro ration calculation referred to above shall be net of previously vested Share Units and/or Options.

(e)Death. If a Participant dies while in his or her capacity as an Eligible Participant, all unvested Share Units and Options will immediately vest and all Share Units and Options will expire one hundred eighty (180) days after the death of such Participant.

(f)Change of Control. If a participant is terminated without "cause" or resigns for good reason during the 12 month period following a Change of Control, or after the Corporation has signed a written agreement to effect a change of control but before the change of control is completed, then any unvested Share Units and/or Options will immediately vest and may be exercised prior to the earlier of thirty (30) days of such date or the expiry date of such Options.

(2)For the purposes of this Plan, a Participant's employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate is considered to have terminated effective on the last day of the Participant's actual and active employment with the Corporation or Affiliate, whether such day is selected by agreement with the individual, unilaterally by the Corporation or Affiliate and whether with or without advance notice to the Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, no period of notice, if any, or payment instead of notice that is given or that ought to have been given under applicable law, whether by statute, imposed by a court or otherwise, in respect of such termination of employment that follows or is in respect of a period after the Participant's last day of actual and active employment will be considered as extending the Participant's period of employment for the purposes of determining his entitlement under this Plan.

(3)The Participant shall have no entitlement to damages or other compensation arising from or related to not receiving any awards which would have settled or vested or accrued to the Participant after the date of cessation of employment or if working notice of termination had been given.

14

Section 5.4Unfunded Plan.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, this Plan shall be unfunded. To the extent any Participant or his or her estate holds any rights by virtue of a grant of Awards under this Plan, such rights (unless otherwise determined by the Board) shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any determinations made shall be such that the Plan continuously meets the requirements of paragraph 6801(d) of the Income Tax Regulations, adopted under the Tax Act or any successor provision thereto.

ARTICLE 6-ADJUSTMENTS AND AMENDMENTS

Section 6.1Adjustment to Shares Subject to Outstanding Awards.

(1)In the event of any subdivision of the Shares into a greater number of Shares at any time after the grant of an Award to a Participant and prior to the expiration of the term of such Award, the Corporation shall deliver to such Participant, at the time of any subsequent exercise or vesting of such Award in accordance with the terms hereof, in lieu of the number of Shares to which such Participant was theretofore entitled upon such exercise or vesting of such Award, but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, such number of Shares as such Participant would have held as a result of such subdivision if on the record date thereof the Participant had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which such Participant was theretofore entitled upon such exercise or vesting of such Award.

(2)In the event of any consolidation of Shares into a lesser number of Shares at any time after the grant of an Award to any Participant and prior to the expiration of the term of such Award, the Corporation shall deliver to such Participant at the time of any subsequent exercise or vesting of such Award in accordance with the terms hereof in lieu of the number of Shares to which such Participant was theretofore entitled upon such exercise or vesting of such Award, but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, such number of Shares as such Participant would have held as a result of such consideration if on the record date thereof the Participant had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which such Participant was theretofore entitled upon such exercise or vesting of such Award.

(3)If at any time after the grant of an Award to any Participant and prior to the expiration of the term of such Award, the Shares shall be reclassified, reorganized or otherwise changed, otherwise than as specified in Section 6.1(1) or Section 6.1(2) hereof or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.2(3) hereof, the Corporation shall consolidate, merge or amalgamate with or into another corporation (the corporation resulting or continuing from such consolidation, merger or amalgamation being herein called the "Successor Corporation"), the Participant shall be entitled to receive upon the subsequent exercise or vesting of Award, in accordance with the terms hereof and shall accept in lieu of the number of Shares then subscribed for but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the aggregate number of shares of the appropriate class or other securities of the Corporation or the Successor Corporation (as the case may be) or other consideration from the Corporation or the Successor Corporation (as the case may be) that such Participant would have been entitled to receive as a result of such reclassification, reorganization or other change of shares or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.2(3) hereof, as a result of such consolidation, merger or amalgamation, if on the record date of such reclassification, reorganization or other change of shares or the effective date of such consolidation, merger or amalgamation, as the case may be, such Participant had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which such Participant was immediately theretofore entitled upon such exercise or vesting of such Award.

15

(4)If, at any time after the grant of an Award to any Participant and prior to the expiration of the term of such Award, the Corporation shall make a distribution to all holders of Shares or other securities in the capital of the Corporation, or cash, evidences of indebtedness or other assets of the Corporation (excluding an ordinary course dividend in cash or shares, but including for greater certainty shares or equity interests in a subsidiary or business unit of the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries or cash proceeds of the disposition of such a subsidiary or business unit), or should the Corporation effect any transaction or change having a similar effect, then the price or the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled upon exercise or vesting of Award shall be adjusted to take into account such distribution, transaction or change. The Board shall determine the appropriate adjustments to be made in such circumstances in order to maintain the Participants' economic rights in respect of their Awards in connection with such distribution, transaction or change.

Section 6.2Amendment or Discontinuance of the Plan.

(1)The Board may amend the Plan or any Award at any time without the consent of the Participants provided that such amendment shall:

(a)not adversely alter or impair any Award previously granted except as permitted by the provisions of Article 6 hereof;

(b)be in compliance with applicable law and subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the Stock Exchange; and

(c)be subject to shareholder approval, where required by law, the requirements of the Stock Exchange or the provisions of the Plan, provided that shareholder approval shall not be required for the following amendments and the Board may make any such amendments:

(i)amendments of a general "housekeeping" or clerical nature that, among others, clarify, correct or rectify any ambiguity, defective provision, error or omission in the Plan;

(ii)changes that alter, extend or accelerate the terms of vesting or settlement applicable to any Award (other than in respect of any Options held by persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities for which prior approval of the TSXV shall be required at all times when the Corporation is listed on the TSXV);

(iii)any amendment regarding the effect of termination of a Participant's employment or engagement;

(iv)any amendment to add or amend provisions relating to the granting of cash- settled awards, provision of financial assistance or clawbacks and any amendment to a cash-settled award, financial assistance or clawbacks provisions which are adopted;

16

(vii)any other amendment that does not require the shareholder approval under Section 6.2(2).

(2)Notwithstanding Section 6.2(1)(c), the Board shall be required to obtain shareholder approval to make the following amendments:

(a)any change to the maximum number of Shares issuable from treasury under the Plan, except such increase by operation of Section 2.5 and in the event of an adjustment pursuant to Article 6;

(b)any amendment which reduces the exercise price of any Award, except in the case of an adjustment pursuant to Article 6;

(c)any amendment that would permit the introduction or reintroduction of Non-Employee Directors as Eligible Participants on a discretionary basis or any amendment that increases the limits previously imposed on Non-Employee Director participation;

(d)any amendment to remove or to exceed the insider participation limit set out in Section 2.6;

(e)any amendment to the amendment provisions of the Plan.

At all times when the Corporation is listed on the TSXV, the shareholder approval referred to in Section 6.2(2)(b) (if any such Award is held by an Insider) and Section 6.2(2)(d) above must be obtained on a "disinterested" basis in compliance with the applicable policies of the TSXV.

(3)The Board may, subject to applicable regulatory approvals, decide that any of the provisions hereof concerning the effect of termination of the Participant's employment shall not apply for any reason acceptable to the Board.

(a)the Corporation shall be required to obtain prior TSXV acceptance of any amendment to this Plan; and

(b)The Corporation shall be requried to obtain disinterested shareholder approval in compliance with the applicable policies of the TSXV for this Plan if, together with all of the Corporation's previously established and outstanding equity compensation plans or grants, could permit at any time: (1) the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under Awards granted to Insiders (as a group) at any point in time exceeding 10% of the issued Shares; and (2) the grant to Insiders (as a group), within a 12 month period, of an aggregate number of Awards exceeding 10% of the issued Shares, calculated at the date an Award is granted to any Insider.

Section 6.3Change of Control.

(1)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in the event of a Change of Control, the surviving, successor or acquiring entity shall assume any Awards or shall substitute similar options or share units for the outstanding Awards, as applicable. If the surviving, successor or acquiring entity does not assume the outstanding Awards or substitute similar options or share units for the outstanding Awards, as applicable, or if the Board otherwise determines in its discretion, the Corporation shall give written notice to all Participants advising that the Plan shall be terminated effective immediately prior to the Change of Control and all Options, RSUs (and related Dividend Share Units) and a specified number of PSUs (and related Dividend Share Units) shall be deemed to be vested and, unless otherwise exercised, settled, forfeited or cancelled prior to the termination of the Plan, shall expire or, with respect to RSUs and PSUs be settled, immediately prior to the termination of the Plan. The number of PSUs which are deemed to be vested shall be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, having regard to the level of achievement of the Performance Criteria prior to the Change of Control.

17

(2)In the event of a Change of Control, the Board has the power to: (i) make such other changes to the terms of the Awards as it considers fair and appropriate in the circumstances, provided such changes are not adverse to the Participants; (ii) otherwise modify the terms of the Awards to assist the Participants to tender into a takeover bid or other arrangement leading to a Change of Control, and thereafter; and (iii) terminate, conditionally or otherwise, the Awards not exercised or settled, as applicable, following successful completion of such Change of Control.

ARTICLE 7-MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1Currency.

Unless otherwise specifically provided, all references to dollars in this Plan are references to Canadian dollars.

Section 7.2Compliance and Award Restrictions.

(1)The Corporation's obligation to issue and deliver Shares under any Award is subject to: (i) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Shares or obtaining approval of such regulatory authority as the Corporation shall determine to be necessary or advisable in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale thereof; (ii) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which such Shares may then be listed; and (iii) the receipt from the Participant of such representations, agreements and undertakings as to future dealings in such Shares as the Corporation determines to be necessary or advisable in order to safeguard against the violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction. The Corporation shall take all reasonable steps to obtain such approvals, registrations and qualifications as may be necessary for the issuance of such Shares in compliance with applicable securities laws and for the listing of such Shares on any stock exchange on which such Shares are then listed.

(2)The Participant agrees 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 by the Corporation with such laws, rule and requirements, including all tax withholding and remittance obligations.

18

(3)No Awards will be granted where such grant is restricted pursuant to the terms of any trading policies or other restrictions imposed by the Corporation.

(4)The Corporation is not obliged by any provision of this Plan or the grant of any Award under this Plan to issue or sell Shares if, in the opinion of the Board, such action would constitute a violation by the Corporation or a Participant of any laws, rules and regulations or any condition of such approvals.

(5)If Shares cannot be issued to a Participant upon the exercise or settlement of an Award due to legal or regulatory restrictions, the obligation of the Corporation to issue such Shares will terminate and, if applicable, any funds paid to the Corporation in connection with the exercise of any Options will be returned to the applicable Participant as soon as practicable.

Section 7.3Use of an Administrative Agent and Trustee.

The Board may in its sole discretion appoint from time to time one or more entities to act as administrative agent to administer the Awards granted under the Plan and to act as trustee to hold and administer the assets that may be held in respect of Awards granted under the Plan, the whole in accordance with the terms and conditions determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Corporation and the administrative agent will maintain records showing the number of Awards granted to each Participant under the Plan.

Section 7.4Tax Withholding.

(1)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all distributions, delivery of Shares or payments to a Participant (or to the liquidator, executor or administrator, as the case may be, of the estate of the Participant) under the Plan shall be made net of applicable source deductions. If the event giving rise to the withholding obligation involves an issuance or delivery of Shares, then, the withholding obligation may be satisfied by (a) having the Participant elect to have the appropriate number of such Shares sold by the Corporation, the Corporation's transfer agent and registrar or any trustee appointed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, on behalf of and as agent for the Participant as soon as permissible and practicable, with the proceeds of such sale being delivered to the Corporation, which will in turn remit such amounts to the appropriate governmental authorities, or (b) any other mechanism as may be required or appropriate to conform with local tax and other rules.

(2)The sale of Shares by the Corporation, or by a broker engaged by the Corporation (the "Broker"), under Section 7.4(1) or under any other provision of the Plan will be made on the Stock Exchange. The Participant consents to such sale and grants to the Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to effect the sale of such Shares on his behalf and acknowledges and agrees that (i) the number of Shares sold will be, at a minimum, sufficient to fund the withholding obligations net of all selling costs, which costs are the responsibility of the Participant and which the Participant 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 judgment 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 such sale of the Shares including any loss relating to the pricing, manner or timing of the sales or any delay in transferring any Shares to a Participant or otherwise.

(3)The Participant further acknowledges that the sale price of the Shares will fluctuate with the market price of the Shares and no assurance can be given that any particular price will be received upon any sale.

19

(4)Notwithstanding the first paragraph of this Section 7.4, the applicable tax withholdings may be waived where the Participant directs in writing that a payment be made directly to the Participant's registered retirement savings plan in circumstances to which regulation 100(3) of the regulations of the Tax Act apply.

Section 7.5Reorganization of the Corporation.

The existence of any Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its shareholders to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Corporation's capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or to create or issue any bonds, debentures, shares or other securities of the Corporation or the rights and conditions attaching thereto or to affect the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

ADDENDUM FOR U.S. PARTICIPANTS

ZEN GRAPHENE SOLUTIONS LTD.

OMNIBUS LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

The provisions of this Addendum apply to Awards held by a U.S. Participant. All capitalized terms used in this Addendum but not defined in Section 1 below have the meanings attributed to them in the Plan. The Section references set forth below match the Section references in the Plan. This Addendum shall have no other effect on any other terms and provisions of the Plan except as set forth below.

1.Definitions

"cause" has the meaning attributed under Section 5.3(1)(a) of the Plan, provided however that the Participant has provided the Corporation (or applicable Subsidiary) with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting grounds for "cause" within 90 days of such act or omission and the Corporation (or applicable Subsidiary) shall have failed to rectify, as determined by the Board acting reasonably, any such acts or omissions within 30 days of the Corporation's (or applicable Subsidiary's) receipt of such notice.

"Separation from Service" means, with respect to a U.S. Participant, any event that may qualify as a separation from service under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). A U.S. Participant shall be deemed to have separated from service if he or she dies, retires, or otherwise has a termination of employment as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

"Specified Employee" has the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i).

2.Expiry Date of Options

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.4 of the Plan or otherwise, in no event, including as a result of any Black- Out Period or any termination of employment, shall the expiration of any Option issued to a U.S. Participant be extended beyond the original Expiry Date if such Option has an Exercise Price that is less than the Market Value on the date of the proposed extension.

3.Non-Employee Directors

A Non-Employee Director who is also a U.S. Participant and wishes to have all or any part of his or her annual retainer fees paid in the form of RSUs shall irrevocably elect such payment form by December 31 of the year prior to the calendar year during which the annual retainer fees are to be earned. Any election made under this Section 3 shall be irrevocable during the calendar year to which it applies, and shall apply to annual retainers earned in future calendar years unless and until the U.S. Participant makes a later election in accordance with the terms of this Section 3 of the Addendum. With respect to the calendar year in which a U.S. Participant becomes a Non-Employee Director, so long as such individual has never previously been eligible to participate in any deferred compensation plan sponsored by the Corporation, such individual may make the election described in this Section 3 of the Addendum within the first 30 days of becoming eligible to participate in the Plan, but solely with respect to the portion of the annual retainer not earned before the date such election is made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 4 of the Plan and except as otherwise set forth herein, any RSUs issued to a U.S. Participant that is a Non-Employee Director in lieu of retainer fees shall be settled on earlier of (i) the U.S. Participant's Separation from Service, or (ii) a Change of Control provided that such change of control event constitutes a change of control within the meaning of Section 409A.

4.Settlement of Share Unit Awards.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 4 of the Plan and except as otherwise set forth herein, all of the vested Share Units subject to any RSU or PSU shall be settled on earlier of (i) the date set forth in the U.S. Participant's Share Unit Settlement Notice which shall be no later than the fifth anniversary of the applicable Share Unit Vesting Determination

Date, (ii) the U.S. Participant's Separation from Service, or (iii) a Change of Control provided that such change of control event constitutes a change of control within the meaning of Section 409A.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 4.6(1)(b) of the Plan, any U.S. Participant must deliver to the Corporation a Share Unit Settlement Notice specifying the Share Unit Settlement Date and form of settlement for his or her RSUs or PSUs on or prior to December 31 of the calendar year prior to the calendar year of the grant; provided that, the Share Unit Settlement Date may be specified at any time prior to the grant date, if the award requires the U.S.

Participant's continued service for not less than 12 months after the grant date in order to vest in such Award. Any such election of Share Unit Settlement Date shall be irrevocable as of the last date in which it is permitted to be made in accordance with the forgoing sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any U.S. Participant fails to timely submit a Share Unit

Settlement Notice in accordance with the foregoing, then such U.S. Participant's Share Unit

Settlement Date shall be deemed to be the fifth anniversary of the Share Unit Vesting Determination Date, in addition, such settlement shall be in the form of Shares, Cash Equivalent, or a combination of both as determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion.

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, Section 4.6(4) of the Plan shall not apply to any Award issued to a U.S. Participant.

5.Dividend Share Units

For purposes of clarity, any Dividend Share Units issued to any U.S. Participant shall be settled at the same time as the underlying RSUs or PSUs for which they were awarded.

6.Termination of Employment

(a)Notwithstanding Section 5.3(1)(b) of the Plan, any unvested Share Units held by a Participant that retires shall be deemed vested as of the Termination Date and shall be settled at such time as set forth in Section 3 to this Addendum.

(b)For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a U.S. Participant dies, his or her vested Options shall expire on the earlier of the original expiry date or one hundred and eighty days after the death of such Participant.

7.Specified Employee

Each grant of Share Units to a U.S. Participant is intended to be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A. To the extent any Award is subject to Section 409A, then

(a)all payments to be made upon a U.S. Participant's Termination Date shall only be made upon such individual's Separation from Service.

(b)if on the date of the U.S. Participant's Separation from Service the Corporation's shares (or shares of any other Corporation that is required to be aggregated with the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A) is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise and the U.S. Participant is a Specified Employee, then the benefits payable to the Participant under the Plan that are payable due to the U.S. Participant's Separation from Service shall be postponed until the earlier of the originally scheduled date and six months following the U.S. Participant's Separation from Service. The postponed amount shall be paid to the U.S. Participant in a lump sum within 30 days after the earlier of the originally scheduled date and the date that is six months following the U.S. Participant's Separation from Service. If the U.S. Participant dies during such six month period and prior to the payment of the postponed amounts hereunder, the amounts delayed on account of Code Section 409A shall be paid to the U.S. Participant's estate within 60 days following the U.S. Participant's death.

8.Adjustments.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 6 of the Plan, any adjustment to an Option held by any U.S. Participant shall be made in compliance with the Code which for the avoidance of doubt may include an adjustment to the number of Shares subject thereto, in addition to an adjustment to the Exercise Price thereof.

9.General

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, all provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A. If any provision of the Plan contravenes Code Section 409A or could cause the U.S. Participant to incur any tax, interest or penalties under Code Section 409A, the Board may, in its sole discretion and without the U.S. Participant's consent, modify such provision to: (i) comply with, or avoid being subject to, Code Section 409A, or to avoid incurring taxes, interest and penalties under Code Section 409A; and/or (ii) maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to the U.S. Participant of the applicable provision without materially increasing the cost to the Corporation or contravening Code Section 409A. However, the Corporation shall have no obligation to modify the Plan or any Share Unit and does not guarantee that Share Units will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties under Code Section 409A. Each U.S. Participant is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on or for the account of such U.S. Participant in connection with the Plan or any other plan maintained by the Corporation (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary of the Corporation shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold such U.S. Participant (or any beneficiary) harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.
