SCHEDULE "F"
CERTIFICATE OF A U.S. KWESST SHAREHOLDER

TO: Foremost Ventures Corp.

AND TO: KWESST Inc.

Pursuant to an Amalgamation Agreement (the "Agreement") among Foremost Ventures Corp. (the "Issuer"), 2751530 Ontario Ltd. ("Subco"), and KWESST Inc. ("KWESST"), the shareholders of KWESST (the "Shareholders") will exchange their outstanding common shares of KWESST ("KWESST Shares") for common shares of the Issuer (the "Issuer Shares") on the basis of one Issuer Shares for each KWESST Share held, and Subco will amalgamate with KWESST (the "Transaction").  In connection with the Transaction, the name of the Issuer will be changed to "KWESST Inc." or another name acceptable to KWESST.

The representations, warranties and covenants in this Certificate will form the basis for the exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws, for the issuance of the Issuer Shares to Shareholders in exchange for their KWESST Shares upon completion of the Transaction (the "Exchange").

In connection with the Transaction and the Exchange, the undersigned (the "KWESST Shareholder"), on his/her/its own behalf and on behalf of any beneficial holder for whom he/she/it is acting, represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Issuer and KWESST that:

1. The KWESST Shareholder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Issuer Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of loss of its entire investment.

2. The KWESST Shareholder has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the Exchange, and the KWESST Shareholder has had access to such information concerning the Issuer, including its public reports available on the Internet at www.sedar.com, as the KWESST Shareholder has considered necessary or appropriate in connection with its investment decision to acquire the Issuer Shares.

3. The KWESST Shareholder understands that none of the Issuer Shares have been or will be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and that the issuance of the Issuer Shares in exchange for the KWESST Shares is being made only to "accredited investors", as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act ("Accredited Investors"), in reliance on the exemption from such registration requirements provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act.

4. The KWESST Shareholder is an Accredited Investor and is acquiring the Issuer Shares for his/her/its own account, or for the account of another Accredited Investor as to which the undersigned exercises sole investment discretion, for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of the Issuer Shares in violation of the United States federal or state securities laws.


-58-

5. If the KWESST Shareholder is an individual (that is, a natural person and not a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity), then the KWESST Shareholder (and any beneficial holder on whose behalf he/she is acting) satisfies one or more of the categories of Accredited Investor indicated below (please place an "S" on the appropriate line(s) below that applies to the undersigned KWESST Shareholder and a "BH" on the appropriate line(s) below that applies to the beneficial holder (if any)):

(i) The person's primary residence shall not be included as an asset;

(ii) Indebtedness that is secured by the person's primary residence, up to the estimated fair market value of the primary residence at the time of the sale of securities, shall not be included as a liability (except that if the amount of such indebtedness outstanding at the time of the sale of securities exceeds the amount outstanding 60 days before such time, other than as a result of the acquisition of the primary residence, the amount of such excess shall be included as a liability); and

(iii) Indebtedness that is secured by the person's primary residence in excess of the estimated fair market value of the primary residence at the time of the sale of securities shall be included as a liability.

   

__________

A natural person who had an individual income in excess of US $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person's spouse in excess of US $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year.

6. If the KWESST Shareholder is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, then it (and any beneficial KWESST Shareholder on whose behalf it is acting) satisfies one or more of the categories of Accredited Investor indicated below (please place an "S" on the appropriate line(s) below that applies to the undersigned KWESST Shareholder and a "BH" on the appropriate line(s) below that applies to the beneficial holder (if any)):

-60-

7. The KWESST Shareholder is not acquiring the Issuer Shares as a result of any form of "general solicitation or general advertising" (as such terms are used in Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act), including, without limitation, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or on the Internet, or broadcast over radio, television or the Internet, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation or general advertising.

8. The KWESST Shareholder agrees that if the KWESST Shareholder decides to offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Issuer Shares, the KWESST Shareholder will not offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any of such Issuer Shares, directly or indirectly, unless the transfer is made:

(a) to the Issuer;

(b) outside the United States in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations;

(c) pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder, if available, and in accordance with any applicable state securities laws; or

(d) in a transaction that does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws; and

the KWESST Shareholder has prior to such transfer pursuant to subsection (c) or (d) furnished to the Issuer an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer to such effect.

9. The certificates representing the Issuer Shares, and any certificates issued in exchange or substitution for such securities, will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "U.S. SECURITIES ACT") OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.  THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY ACQUIRING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE ISSUER; (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS; (C) IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS; (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (E) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND, IN THE CASE OF PARAGRAPH (C) OR (D), THE SELLER FURNISHES TO THE ISSUER AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO SUCH EFFECT.  DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE GOOD DELIVERY IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN CANADA."


-61-

If the Issuer Shares are being sold in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with Canadian local laws and regulations, the legend may be removed by providing a declaration to the Issuer and its transfer agent substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit I hereto (or as the Issuer may prescribe from time to time), and, if requested by the Issuer's transfer agent, an opinion of counsel of recognized standing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the transfer is being made in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.

If any of the Issuer Shares are being sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, if available, the legend may be removed by delivery to the Issuer and its transfer agent of an opinion of counsel of recognized standing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws.

10. The KWESST Shareholder consents to the Issuer making a notation on its records or giving instructions to its transfer agent in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described in this Certificate.

11. The KWESST Shareholder understands and agrees that there may be material tax consequences to the KWESST Shareholder of the acquisition, holding, exercise or disposition of the Issuer Shares, and that the KWESST Shareholder is the sole responsibility of the KWESST Shareholder to determine and assess such tax consequences as may apply to its particular circumstances.  The Issuer does not give any opinion or make any representation with respect to the tax consequences to the KWESST Shareholder under United States, state, local or foreign tax law of the undersigned's acquisition, holding, exercise or disposition of such Issuer Shares; in particular, no determination has been made whether the Issuer will be a "passive foreign investment company" within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.

12. The KWESST Shareholder understands that the financial statements of the Issuer have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, which differ in some respects from United States generally accepted accounting principles, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.


-62-

13. The KWESST Shareholder is in the United States.  The address at which the KWESST Shareholder received and accepted the offer to acquire the Issuer Shares is the address listed on the execution page of this Certificate.

14. The KWESST Shareholder understands that the Issuer Shares are "restricted securities", as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act, and that the KWESST Shareholder may dispose of the Issuer Shares only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.  The KWESST Shareholder understands and acknowledges that the Issuer is not obligated to file and has no present intention of filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or with any state securities administrator any registration statement in respect of resales of the Issuer Shares in the United States.  Accordingly, the KWESST Shareholder understands that absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, the KWESST Shareholder may be required to hold the Issuer Shares indefinitely.

15. The KWESST Shareholder understands that (i) if the Issuer is deemed to be an issuer that is, or that has been at any time previously, an issuer with no or nominal operations and no or nominal assets other than cash and cash equivalents (a "Shell Company"), Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act may not be available for resales of the Issuer Shares, and (ii) the Issuer is not obligated to make Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act available for resales of the Issuer Shares.  Because the Issuer is considered to have been a "capital pool company" prior to the Transaction, the Issuer would be considered to have been a Shell Company, and consequently, Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act is not available for resales of the Issuer Shares unless and until the Issuer has satisfied the applicable conditions set forth in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act or in other guidance issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  As a result, Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act may never be available for resales of the Issuer Shares.

16. The KWESST Shareholder understands that the Issuer is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, that substantially all of the Issuer's assets are located outside the United States and that most or all of its directors and officers are residents of countries other than the United States, and, as a result, it may be difficult for the KWESST Shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon the Issuer or its directors or officers, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability of the Issuer and its directors and officers under the U.S. federal securities laws.

17. The KWESST Shareholder understands that no agency, governmental authority, regulatory body, stock exchange or other entity (including, without limitation, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission) has made any finding or determination as to the merit of investment in, nor have any such agencies or governmental authorities made any recommendation or endorsement with respect, to the Issuer Shares.

18. If required by applicable securities legislation, regulatory policy or order or by any securities commission, stock exchange or other regulatory authority, the KWESST Shareholder will execute, deliver and file and otherwise assist the Issuer in filing reports, questionnaires, undertakings and other documents with respect to the issue of the Issuer Shares.


-63-

The undersigned (A) acknowledges that the sale of the common shares of the Issuer represented by certificate number _______________, to which this declaration relates, is being made in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and (B) certifies that (1) the undersigned is not an "affiliate" (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act) of the Issuer; (2) the offer of such securities was not made to a person in the United States and either (a) at the time the buy order was originated, the buyer was outside the United States, or the seller and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believed that the buyer was outside the United States, or (b) the transaction was executed on or through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange or another designated offshore securities market (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States; (3) neither the seller nor any affiliate of the seller nor any person acting on their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts in the United States in connection with the offer and sale of such securities; (4) the sale is bona fide and not for the purpose of "washing off" the resale restrictions imposed because the securities are "restricted securities" (as that term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act); (5) the seller does not intend to replace such securities with fungible unrestricted securities; and (6) the contemplated sale is not a transaction, or part of a series of transactions, which, although in technical compliance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the U.S. Securities Act.  Terms used herein have the meanings given to them by Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
