AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LOAN

2.1. The Loan. The Lender hereby agrees that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein it will make a loan in the total principal amount of up to Five Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,400,000.00) (the “Maximum Principal”) to the Borrower (the “Loan”).

2.2.	Advances. The Borrower shall avail itself of the Loan during the Term by providing written notice to the Lender of a request for an Advance (denoting the principal amount of the Advance and the date the Advance is requested) via email to an email account designated by the Lender in writing. Provided an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, Advances shall be deposited by the Lender to the account designated by the Borrower within seven (7) Business Days of a duly-completed request for an Advance or on such later date as may be specified in the Borrower’s notice. Notwithstanding anything else herein, the Lender shall have no obligation to fulfil a request for an Advance if doing so would result in cumulative Advances to the Borrower in any calendar month exceeding the Monthly Limit. For greater certainty, cumulative Advances in a calendar month that are less than the Monthly Limit shall not rollover to any subsequent month so as to increase the Monthly Limit for that month.
2.3.	Record of Advances. The disbursement of funds made pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall be recorded by the Lender and the Lender shall provide the Borrower with an updated statement of account on a monthly basis. Absent manifest error, the Lender’s calculations of the principal amount of the Loan outstanding from time to time shall be binding on the Borrower.
2.4.	Term and Termination. The term of the Loan will expire 18 months from the date of the first Advance (the “Term”) provided that each party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on three (3) months prior written notice to the other party. The Lender shall have no obligation to make further Advances to the Borrower upon the expiry (or earlier termination) of this Agreement.
2.5.	Mandatory Conversion. Every three calendar months during the Term (with the first of such dates falling on January 18th, 2023) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan as of such date shall be converted into fully-paid non-assessable Class A common shares of the Borrower (“Common Shares”) as presently constituted, at a price per Common Share to be issued equal to $0.75 (the “Conversion Price”). The Borrower shall promptly take all such necessary corporate action as may be necessary to issue and deliver to the Lender a share certificate evidencing such Common Shares. Upon such conversion, the Borrower shall have no further liability or obligation to pay to the Lender that portion of the Loan so converted, and the Lender shall be treated as having become a holder of record of such Common Shares at that time.
2.6.	Conversion Price Adjustment. The Conversion Price and the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Loan shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided:

(a) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof the Corporation:

(i) issues Common Shares, or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares as a stock dividend (other than a dividend paid in the ordinary course);

(ii)	makes a distribution on its outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares (other than a dividend paid in the ordinary course);
(iii)	subdivides, re-divides or changes its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or
(iv)	reduces, combines, or consolidates its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares;

(any of such events in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) being called a “Share Reorganization”), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date or the effective date, as the case may be, at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the Share Reorganization, by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the “Total Shares” on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the Total Shares on such effective date or record date immediately after giving effect to such Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such effective date or record date). To the extent that any adjustment in the Conversion Price occurs pursuant to this subsection as a result of a distribution or stock dividend of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange or conversion right to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiration, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any such further right.

(b) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof there is a reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities, or any other capital reorganization (other than a Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Borrower with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding shares or a change of shares into other shares), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”, the Lender shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept for the same aggregate consideration, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which the Lender was previously entitled upon such conversion, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property which the Lender would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Lender had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which it was previously entitled upon conversion. The Borrower shall take all steps necessary to ensure that, following a Capital Reorganization, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property to which the Lender would be entitled on conversion shall be deliverable in the event of such conversion. Any such adjustment shall be made by and set forth in an amendment to this Agreement approved by the directors and which shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

(c) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof the Corporation shall issue Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Shares in an arm’s length financing transaction (and excluding, for greater certainty, Common Shares or other securities issued pursuant to any incentive stock option plan of the Corporation or any securities or rights thereto existing as at the date of this Agreement) for consideration (or conversion price or exercise price, as applicable) per Common Share less than the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so that the Conversion Price shall equal such offering price and the number of Common Shares issuable to the Lender upon conversion of principal of the Loan shall be proportionately increased.

2.7.	Legend. The Common Shares issued upon due conversion under this Agreement shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the form set out in the Shareholders Agreement dated March 31, 2022 among the Borrower and certain of its shareholders, including the Lender.
2.8.	Interest. The Borrower and the Lender agree that the Loan shall be non-interest bearing.
2.9.	Prepayment. The Borrower shall not be entitled to prepay the outstanding indebtedness hereunder or any portion thereof.
2.10.	Conversion of Unadvanced Portion of Loan. If, immediately prior to the expiry of the Term, cumulative Advances to the Borrower during the Term (the “Total Advances”) are less than the Maximum Principal (the “Loan Shortfall”), the Lender may, at its option, by payment in immediately available funds to the Borrower of the Loan Shortfall, or any part thereof, subscribe for and receive that number of Common Shares (rounded to the nearest whole number) as is calculated by dividing the amount of the Loan Shortfall by the Conversion Price. For greater certainty, the price adjustment provisions of Section 2.6 hereof shall apply to any such subscription by the Lender.
2.11.	Board of Directors. The Borrower agrees that during the term of the Loan, the Borrower’s management will nominate and recommend the Lender, or a representative of the Lender acceptable to the Borrower, to be elected as a director at each of the Borrower’s annual general meeting of the shareholders.
2.12.	Board Observer. During the term of the Loan, the Borrower shall be entitled to nominate an observer who shall be entitled to notice of and to attend and participate in the discussions at Board of Directors’ meetings and shall be entitled to receive the same documents and other information for such meetings as if he/she was a director of the Borrower. Any such observer shall be provided with notice of Board of Directors’ meetings in the same manner as all other directors but shall not be entitled to vote at such meetings. Initially, the observer shall be Stephanie Lewis and such observer shall execute a confidentiality agreement in a form satisfactory to the Borrower, acting reasonably.
