Titan Medical Announces Closing of Previously Announced Public Offering
 
TORONTO, August 10, 2018 – Titan Medical Inc. (“ Titan ” or the “ Company ”) (TSX:TMD) (NASDAQ:TMDI), a medical device company focused on the design, development and commercialization of a robotic surgical system for application in minimally invasive surgery (“ MIS ”), is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced public offering (the “ Offering ”) pursuant to an agency agreement dated August 7, 2018 between the Company and Bloom Burton Securities Inc. (the “ Agent ”).
 
The Company completed the closing of the Offering on August 10, 2018 and issued 7,679,574 units (the “ Units ”) for gross proceeds of US $19,198,935. Each Unit was issued at a price of US $2.50 per Unit and is comprised of one common share of the Company (a “ Common Share ”) and one warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of US $3.20 until expiry on August 10, 2023.
 
The Common Shares sold and issued in connection with the closing were listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol TMD and on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “TMDI” at the opening on August 10, 2018.
 
The Units were qualified for sale by way of a prospectus dated August 7, 2018 (the “ Prospectus ”) filed by the Company in each of the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta, and a corresponding registration statement on Form F-10 (the “ Registration Statement ”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the U.S.-Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System. The Units were offered for sale in the United States through Northland Capital Markets, who was appointed by the Agent as a sub-agent. Northland Capital Markets is a division of Northland Securities, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.
 
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund continued development work in connection with the Company’s SPORT Surgical System, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Further details are disclosed in the Prospectus, available at www.sedar.com and the Registration Statement, available at www.sec.gov .
 
Related Party Transaction
 
An aggregate of 5,000 Units were issued to an insider of the Company under the Offering for gross proceeds of US $12,500. The insider subscription constitutes a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61 101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61 101”).  In completing the insider subscription, the Company relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61 101 set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61 101, as the aggregate value of the insider subscription does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering due to the limited time between the commitment by the insider to purchase the subject Units and the closing.


 
About Titan
 
Titan is focused on research and development through to the planned commercialization of computer-assisted robotic surgical technologies for application in MIS. The Company is developing the SPORT Surgical System, a single-port robotic surgical system. The SPORT Surgical System is comprised of a surgeon-controlled patient cart that includes a 3D high-definition vision system and multi-articulating instruments for performing MIS procedures, and a surgeon workstation that provides an advanced ergonomic interface to the patient cart and a 3D endoscopic view inside the patient’s body. Titan intends to initially pursue focused surgical indications for the SPORT Surgical System, which may include one or more of gynecologic, urologic, colorectal or general abdominal procedures.

Warrant Certificates for the Warrants shall be substantially in the form attached as Schedule “A” hereto, with such additions, variations and changes as may be required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture, and which may from time to time be agreed upon by the Warrant Agent and the Company, and shall bear such legends and such distinguishing letters and numbers as the Company may, with the approval of the Warrant Agent, prescribe. The Warrant Certificates shall be dated as of the date hereof or on such other Closing Date upon which Warrants shall be issued.

(4)      Subject to subsection 2.2(5), Warrant Certificates shall be issuable in any denomination.

(5)      If a Warrantholder is entitled to a fraction of a Warrant the number of Warrants issued to that Warrantholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Warrant.

(6)      The Warrant Certificates may be engraved, lithographed or printed (the expression “printed” including for purposes hereof both original typewritten material as well as mimeographed, mechanically, photographically, photostatically or electronically reproduced, typewritten or other written material), or partly in one form and partly in another, as the Company, with the approval of the Warrant Agent, may determine. No change in the form of the Warrant Certificate shall be required by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 5.1 in the number and/or class of securities or type of securities that may be acquired pursuant to the Warrants.

2.3      Issue in Substitution for Lost Warrant Certificates

(1)     In the event that any Warrant Certificates issued and certified under this Indenture shall be mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen, the Company, subject to applicable law, shall issue and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall certify and deliver, a new certificate of like tenor, and bearing the same legends, as the one mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen in exchange for and in place of and upon cancellation of such mutilated certificate, or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, destroyed or stolen certificate, and the substituted certificate shall be in a form approved by the Warrant Agent and shall be entitled to the benefits hereof and shall rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Warrant Certificates issued or to be issued hereunder.

2.4      Non-Certificated Deposit

(1)      Subject to the provisions hereof, at the Company’s option, Warrants, other than those issued pursuant to a U.S. Purchaser (which will be evidenced in certificated form only), will be issued and registered in the name of CDS or its nominee and:

(A)      may be directly deposited by the Warrant Agent to CDS; and

(B)      shall be identified by the CUSIP/ISIN 88830X330 /CA88830X3307

(2)      If the Company issues Warrants in a non-certificated format, Beneficial Owners of such Warrants registered and deposited with CDS shall not receive Warrant Certificates in definitive form and shall not be considered owners or holders thereof under this Indenture or any supplemental agreement. Beneficial interests in Warrants registered and deposited with CDS will be represented only through the non-certificated inventory system administered by CDS. Transfers of Warrants registered and deposited with CDS between CDS Participants shall occur in accordance with the rules and procedures of CDS. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to or payments made by CDS or its nominee, on account of the beneficial interests in Warrants registered and deposited with CDS. Nothing herein shall prevent the Beneficial Owners of Warrants registered and deposited with CDS from voting such Warrants using duly executed proxies.

(3)      All references herein to actions by, notices given or payments made to Warrantholders shall, where Warrants are held through CDS, refer to actions taken by, or notices given or payments made to, CDS upon instruction from the CDS Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures. For the purposes of any provision hereof requiring or permitting actions with the consent of or at the direction of Warrantholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate Warrants outstanding, such direction or consent may be given by Beneficial Owners acting through CDS and the CDS Participants owning Warrants evidencing the requisite percentage of the Warrants. The rights of a Beneficial Owner whose Warrants are held through CDS shall be exercised only through CDS and the CDS Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and CDS and the CDS Participants upon instructions from the CDS Participants. Each of the Warrant Agent and the Company may deal with CDS for all purposes (including the making of payments) as the authorized representative of the respective Warrants and such dealing with CDS shall constitute satisfaction or performance, as applicable, of their respective obligations hereunder.

(4)      For so long as Warrants are held through CDS, if any notice or other communication is required to be given to Warrantholders, the Warrant Agent will give such notices and communications to CDS.

- 9 -


(5)      If CDS resigns or is removed from its responsibility as Depository and the Warrant Agent is unable or does not wish to locate a qualified successor, CDS shall provide the Warrant Agent with instructions for registration of Warrants in the names and in the amounts specified by CDS and the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall certify and deliver the aggregate number of Warrants then outstanding in the form of definitive Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants.

(6)     Every Warrant Authenticated upon registration of transfer of an Uncertificated Warrant, or in exchange for or in lieu of an Uncertificated Warrant or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section 2.4 or otherwise, shall be Authenticated in the form of, and shall be, an Uncertificated Warrant, unless such Warrant is registered in the name of a person other than the Depository for such Uncertificated Warrant or a nominee thereof.

(7)     The rights of Beneficial Owners who hold securities entitlements in respect of the Warrants through the non-certificated inventory system administered by CDS shall be limited to those established by applicable law and agreements between the Depository and the CDS Participants and between such CDS Participants and the Beneficial Owners who hold securities entitlements in respect of the Warrants through the non-certificated inventory system administered by CDS, and such rights must be exercised through a CDS Participant in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository.

(8)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent nor any agent thereof shall have any responsibility or liability for:

(A)     the electronic records maintained by the Depository relating to any ownership interests or any other interests in the Warrants or the depository system maintained by the Depository, or payments made on account of any ownership interest or any other interest of any person in any Warrants represented by an electronic position in the non-certificated inventory system administered by CDS (other than the Depository or its nominee);

(B)     for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depository or any CDS Participant relating to any such interest; or

(C)     any advice or representation made or given by the Depository or those contained herein that relate to the rules and regulations of the Depository or any action to be taken by the Depository on its own direction or at the direction of any CDS Participant.

(9)      The Company may terminate the application of this Section 2.4 in its sole discretion in which case all Warrants shall be evidenced by Warrant Certificates registered in the name of a person other than the Depository.

(10)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request of the Beneficial Owner, through the Depository, the Warrant Agent shall issue a Warrant Certificate in respect of the interest of such Beneficial Owner, in which case the Uncertificated Warrant representing such Warrants shall be reduced accordingly and such Warrants shall be duly registered as directed by the Depository.

2.5      Warrantholder not a Shareholder

Nothing in this Indenture or in the holding of a Warrant evidenced by a Warrant Certificate or otherwise, shall be construed as conferring upon a Warrantholder any right or interest whatsoever as a Shareholder of the Company, including, but not limited to, the right to vote at, to receive notice of, or to attend, meetings of shareholders or any other proceedings of the Company, nor entitle the holder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as herein and in the Warrants expressly provided.

All Warrants shall rank pari passu , whatever may be the respective Dates of Issue of the same.
 
2.7      Signing of Warrant Certificates

The Warrant Certificates shall be signed by any one of the directors or officers of the Company and may, but need not, be under the corporate seal of the Company or a reproduction thereof. The signature of any such director or officer may be mechanically reproduced and Warrant Certificates bearing such mechanically reproduced signatures shall be binding upon the Company as if they had been manually signed by such director or officer. Notwithstanding that the person whose manual or mechanically reproduced signature appears on any Warrant Certificate as a director or officer may no longer holds office at the date of issue of the Warrant Certificate or at the date of certification or delivery thereof, any Warrant Certificate signed as aforesaid shall, subject to Section 2.7, be valid and binding upon the Company and the registered holder thereof will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
 
2.8      Certification by the Warrant Agent

(1)      No Warrant Certificate shall be issued or, if issued, shall be valid for any purpose or entitle the registered holder to the benefit hereof or thereof until it has been certified by manual signature by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, and such certification by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate shall be conclusive evidence as against the Company that the Warrant Certificate so certified has been duly issued hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefit hereof.

(2)     The certification of the Warrant Agent on Warrant Certificates issued hereunder shall not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Warrant Agent as to the validity of this Indenture or the Warrant Certificates (except the due certification thereof) and the Warrant Agent shall in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of the Warrant Certificates or any of them or of the consideration therefor nor for any breach by the Company of its covenants herein, except as otherwise specified therein.

EXCHANGE AND OWNERSHIP OF WARRANTS; NOTICES
 
3.1      Exchange of Warrant Certificates

(1)       Warrant Certificates entitling Warrantholders to purchase any specified number of Common Shares may, upon compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent, be exchanged for one or more Warrant Certificates in any other authorized denomination bearing the same legends representing in the aggregate an equal number of Warrants as the number of Warrants represented by the Warrant Certificates being exchanged. The Company shall sign all Warrant Certificates necessary to carry out exchanges as aforesaid and such Warrant Certificates shall be certified by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent.

(2)       Warrant Certificates may be exchanged only at the principal transfer office of the Warrant Agent in the City of Toronto, Ontario or at any other place that is designated by the Company with the approval of the Warrant Agent. Any Warrant Certificates tendered for exchange shall be surrendered to the Warrant Agent or its agents and cancelled.

(3)      Except as otherwise herein provided, any Warrant Agent may charge the holder requesting an exchange a reasonable sum for each new Warrant Certificate issued in exchange for Warrant Certificate(s); and payment of such charges and reimbursement of the Warrant Agent or the Company for any and all stamp taxes or governmental or other charges required to be paid shall be made by such holder as a condition precedent to such exchange.

3.2      Registration of Warrants

(1)     The Company shall, at all times while any Warrants are outstanding, cause the Warrant Agent and its agents to maintain a register in which will be entered in alphabetical order the names, latest known addresses of the Warrantholders and particulars of the Warrants held by them, and a register of transfers in which shall be entered the particulars of all transfers of Warrants, such registers to be kept by and at the principal transfer office of the Warrant Agent in the City of Toronto.

(2)      At the office of the Warrant Agent during normal business hours, the holder of a Warrant may have such Warrant transferred in accordance with such reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent may prescribe. The costs of any such transfer registration shall be borne by the transferee or presenter.

- 12 -


(3)      The registers referred to in this Section 3.2 shall at all reasonable times be open for inspection by the Company and by any Warrantholder. The Warrant Agent, when requested in writing so to do by the Company, shall furnish the Company with a list of names and addresses of the Warrantholders showing the number of Warrants held by each Warrantholder.

(4)     Once an Uncertificated Warrant has been Authenticated, the information set forth in the register with respect thereto at the time of Authentication may be altered, modified, amended, supplemented or otherwise changed only to reflect exercise or proper instructions to the Warrant Agent from the Warrantholder as provided herein, except that the Warrant Agent may act unilaterally to make purely administrative changes internal to the Warrant Agent and changes to correct errors. Each person who becomes a Warrantholder of an Uncertificated Warrant, by his, her or its acquisition thereof shall be deemed to have irrevocably (i) consented to the foregoing authority of the Warrant Agent to make such minor error corrections and (ii) agreed to pay to the Warrant Agent, promptly upon written demand, the full amount of all loss and expense (including without limitation reasonable legal fees of the Company and the Warrant Agent plus interest, at an appropriate then prevailing rate of interest to the Warrant Agent), sustained by the Company or the Warrant Agent as a proximate result of such error if but only if and only to the extent that such present or former Warrantholder realized any benefit as a result of such error and could reasonably have prevented, forestalled or minimized such loss and expense by prompt reporting of the error or avoidance of accepting benefits thereof whether or not such error is or should have been timely detected and corrected by the Warrant Agent; provided, that no person who is a bona fide purchaser shall have any such obligation to the Company or to the Warrant Agent.

3.3      Transfer of Warrants

(1)     No transfer of a Warrant will be valid unless entered on the register of transfers referred to in subsection 3.2(1), upon surrender to the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant, and a duly completed and executed Transfer Form as attached to the Warrant Certificate executed by the registered holder or his executors, administrators or other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, and, upon compliance with the conditions herein and such reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent may prescribe, including compliance with all applicable securities legislation, such transfer will be recorded on the register of transfers by the Warrant Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Warrants are Uncertificated Warrants, the provisions of Section 3.2(4) shall apply.

(2)     The transferee of any Warrant will, after surrender to the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant as required by subsection 3.3(1) and upon compliance with all other conditions in respect thereof required by this Indenture or by applicable law, be entitled to be entered on the register of holders referred to in subsection 3.2(1) as the owner of such Warrant free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Company and the transferor or any previous holder of such Warrant, except in respect of equities of which the Company is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

- 13 -


(3)      The Company will be entitled, and may direct the Warrant Agent, to refuse to recognize any transfer, or enter the name of any transferee, of any Warrant on the registers referred to in subsection 3.2(1), if such transfer would, in the written opinion of counsel to the Company, constitute a violation of Applicable Securities Laws. The Warrant Agent is entitled to assume compliance with all applicable securities legislation unless otherwise notified in writing by the Company. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to ensure or verify compliance with any applicable laws or regulatory requirements on the issue, exercise or transfer of any Warrants or any Common Shares issuable upon the exercise thereof provided such issue, exercise or transfer is effected in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Indenture.
 
3.4      Ownership of Certificates

(1)      Except in connection with the registration of Uncertificated Warrants, the Company and the Warrant Agent and their respective agents may deem and treat the holder of any Warrant Certificate as the absolute holder and owner of the Warrants evidenced thereby for all purposes, and the Company and the Warrant Agent shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary and, without limiting the foregoing, shall not be bound by notice of any trust or be required to see to the execution thereof.

(2)      Subject to the provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, a Warrantholder shall be entitled to the rights evidenced by such Warrant Certificate free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Company and the original or any intermediate holder thereof and all persons may act accordingly and the receipt by any such holder of the Common Shares obtainable pursuant thereto shall be a good discharge to the Company and the Warrant Agent for the same and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be bound to inquire into the title of any such holder, except where the Company or the Warrant Agent is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

3.5      Evidence of Ownership

(1)      Upon receipt of a certificate of any bank, trust company or other depositary satisfactory to the Warrant Agent stating that the Warrants specified therein have been deposited by a named person with such bank, trust company or other depositary and will remain so deposited until the expiry of the period specified therein, the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the person so named as the owner, and such certificate as sufficient evidence of the ownership by such person of such Warrants during such period, for the purpose of any requisition, direction, consent, instrument or other document to be made, signed or given by the holder of the Warrants so deposited.

- 14 -


(2)     The Company and the Warrant Agent may accept as sufficient evidence of the fact and date of the signing of any requisition, direction, consent, instrument or other document by any person, the signature, as witness, of any officer of any trust company, bank or depositary satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgements of deeds to be recorded at the place where such certificate is made, that the person signing acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or a statutory declaration of a witness of such execution.

3.6      Notices

Unless herein otherwise expressly provided, any notice to be given hereunder to the Warrantholders shall be deemed to be validly given if such notice is given by personal delivery or first class mail to the attention of the holder at the registered address of the holder recorded in the registers maintained by the Warrant Agent; provided that in the case of notice convening a meeting of the Warrantholders, the Company may require such publication of such notice, in such city or cities, as it may deem necessary for the reasonable protection of the Warrant holders or to comply with any applicable requirement of law or any stock exchange. Any notice so given shall be deemed to have been given on the day of delivery or three (3) Business Days after mailing. In determining under any provision hereof the date when notice of any meeting or other event must be given, the date of giving notice shall be included and the date of the meeting or other event shall be excluded. For greater certainty, all costs in connection with the giving of notices contemplated by this Section 3.6 shall be borne by the Company.
 
ARTICLE IV
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
 
4.1      Method of Exercise of Warrants

(1)      Certificated Warrants shall be exercised as set forth in the Warrant Certificate.

(2)     No Warrant represented by an Uncertificated Warrant may be exercised unless, prior to such exercise, the Warrantholder of such Warrant shall have taken all other action necessary to exercise such Warrant in accordance with this Indenture and the Internal Procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and subject to the Internal Procedures in force from time to time, a Beneficial Owner whose Warrants are represented by an Uncertificated Warrant who desires to exercise his or her Warrants must do so by causing a CDS Participant to deliver to CDS, on behalf of the Beneficial Owner, a written notice of the Beneficial Owner’s intention to exercise Warrants in a manner acceptable to CDS. Forthwith upon receipt by CDS of such notice, as well as payment in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price by the number of Common Shares subscribed for, CDS shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a Confirmation.

- 15 -

(3)      Payment by a Beneficial Owner representing the Exercise Price must be provided to the appropriate office of the CDS Participant in a manner acceptable to it. A notice in form acceptable to the CDS Participant and payment from such Beneficial Owner should be provided to the CDS Participant sufficiently in advance so as to permit the CDS Participant to deliver notice and payment to CDS and for CDS in turn to deliver notice and payment to the Warrant Agent prior to Expiry Time. CDS will initiate the exercise by way of the Confirmation and forward the Exercise Price electronically to the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent will execute the exercise by issuing to CDS through the non-certified inventory system administered by CDS the Common Shares to which the exercising Beneficial Owner is entitled pursuant to the exercise. Any expense associated with the exercise process will be for the account of the Beneficial Owner exercising the Warrants and/or the CDS Participant exercising the Warrants on its behalf.

(4)      Notwithstanding any provisions of this Warrant Indenture, a beneficial owner may exercise his Warrants or take any actions under this Warrant Indenture in accordance with the rules and procedures of CDS.

(5)     Any subscription referred to in this Section 4.1 shall be signed by the Warrantholder, shall specify the person(s) in whose name such Common Shares are to be issued, the address(es) of such person(s) and the number of Common Shares to be issued to each person, if more than one is so specified. If any of the Common Shares subscribed for are to be issued to (a) person(s) other than the Warrantholder, the signatures set out in the subscription referred to in subsection 4.1(1) shall be guaranteed by a major Canadian chartered bank, or by a medallion signature guaranteed from a member of a recognized Signature Medallion Guarantee Program and the Warrantholder shall pay to the Company all applicable transfer or similar taxes and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver certificates evidencing Common Shares unless or until such Warrantholder shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or that no tax is due.

(6)      If, at the time of exercise of the Warrants, in accordance with the provisions of subsection 3.1(1), there are any trading restrictions on the Common Shares pursuant to applicable securities legislation or stock exchange requirements, the Company shall, on the advice of counsel, endorse any certificates representing the Common Shares to such effect. The Warrant Agent is entitled to assume compliance with all applicable securities legislation unless otherwise notified in writing by the Company.

4.2      Effect of Exercise of Warrants

(1)     Upon compliance by the Warrantholder with the applicable provisions of Section 4.1, the Common Shares so subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and the Person or Persons to whom such Common Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares on the Exercise Date unless the share registers maintained by the transfer agent for the Common Shares shall be closed on such date, in which case the Common Shares so subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued, and such Person or Persons shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares on the date on which such registers were reopened and such Common Shares shall be issued at the Exercise Price in effect on the Exercise Date. To the extent the opening of the registers remains within the control of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the Warrant Agent shall cause such registers to be open on Business Days.

- 16 -


(2)     Within three (3) Business Days following the due exercise of a Warrant pursuant to Section 4.1, the Warrant Agent shall deliver to the Company a notice setting forth the particulars of all Warrants exercised,  and the persons in whose names the Common Shares are to be issued (as applicable) and the addresses of such holders of the Common Shares.

(3)      Subject to Section 4.1(3), within five (5) Business Days of the due exercise of a Warrant pursuant to Section 4.1, or within (10) Business Days of the due exercise of a Warrant if such exercise would result in a fraction of a Common Share, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to mail to the person in whose name the Common Shares so subscribed for are to be issued, as specified in the Notice of Exercise completed on the Warrant Certificate, to the CDS or DTC DWAC coordinates specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate or certificates for the Common Shares to which the Warrantholder is entitled and, if applicable, shall cause the Warrant Agent to mail a Warrant Certificate representing any Warrants not then exercised.

(4)      If at the time of exercise of the Warrants there remain trading restrictions on the Common Shares acquired upon such exercise pursuant to applicable securities legislation or policy of any applicable regulatory body, the Company may, upon the advice of Counsel, endorse any Common Share certificates to such effect. Furthermore, the Company shall, or its Counsel shall, notify the Warrant Agent in writing of any trading restrictions on the Common Shares acquired upon such exercise pursuant to applicable securities legislation or policy of any applicable regulatory body. Unless and until advised in writing by the Company or its Counsel that a specific legend and trading restrictions apply to the Common Shares, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to assume that no specific legend is required and that there are no trading restrictions on the Common Shares.

4.3      Subscription for Less than Entitlement

The holder of any Warrant Certificate may subscribe for and purchase a whole number of Common Shares that is less than the number that the holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate. In such event, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without charge except as aforesaid, a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the Common Shares which such holder was entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate and which was not then purchased.

- 17 -


4.4      No Fractional Common Shares

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Company shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares in satisfaction of its obligations hereunder. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 4.4, be deliverable upon the exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall in lieu of delivering the fractional Common Shares therefor satisfy the right to receive such fractional interest by payment to the holder of such Warrant of an amount in funds equal (computed in the case of a fraction of a cent to the next lower cent) to the value of the right to acquire such fractional interest on the basis of the Current Market Price at the Exercise Date.  The minimum amount for payment pursuant to this Section shall be $1.00.

4.5      Expiration of Warrant Certificates

After the Time of Expiry, all rights under any Warrant or this Indenture in respect of which the right of subscription and purchase herein and therein provided for shall not theretofore have been exercised shall wholly cease and terminate and such Warrant shall be void and of no effect.
 
4.6      Cancellation of Surrendered Warrants

All Warrant Certificates surrendered to the Warrant Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent shall record the cancellation of such Warrant Certificates on the register of holders maintained by the Warrant Agent pursuant to subsection 3.2(1).  The Warrant Agent shall, if requested in writing by the Company, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Company a certificate identifying the Warrant Certificates so cancelled and the number of Common Shares which could have been purchased pursuant to each cancelled Warrant Certificate.  All Warrants represented by Warrant Certificates that have been duly cancelled shall be without further force or effect whatsoever.
 
4.7      Accounting and Recording

(1)      The Warrant Agent shall promptly account to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and forward to the Company (or into an account or accounts of the Company with the bank or trust company designated by the Company for that purpose) all monies received on the purchase of Common Shares through the exercise of Warrants. All such monies, and any securities or other instruments from time to time received by the Warrant Agent, shall be received in trust for, and shall be segregated and kept apart by the Warrant Agent in trust for, the Company.

(2)      The Warrant Agent shall record the particulars of the Warrant Certificates exercised which shall include the name or names and addresses of the Persons who become holders of Common Shares on exercise and the Exercise Date and Warrant Certificate number.

(2)      On the happening of each and every such event set out in Section 5.1, the applicable provisions of the Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price, shall, ipso   facto, be deemed to be amended accordingly and the Company shall take all necessary action so as to comply with such provisions as so amended.

Notice to the Warrantholders shall be given in the manner specified in Section 3.6.

If the Warrant Agent has so failed to act, but not otherwise, any Warrantholder acting on behalf of all Warrantholders will be entitled to take any of the proceedings that the Warrant Agent might have taken hereunder.

(1)      The Warrant Agent may resign and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder, subject to this subsection 11.7(1), by giving to the Company not less than 30 days prior notice in writing or such shorter prior notice as the Company may accept as sufficient. The Warrantholders by Extraordinary Resolution shall have power at any time to remove the existing Warrant Agent and to appoint a new warrant agent. In the event of the Warrant Agent resigning or being removed as aforesaid or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Company shall forthwith appoint a new warrant agent unless a new warrant agent has already been appointed by the Warrantholders; failing such appointment by the Company, the retiring Warrant Agent or any Warrantholder may apply to a justice of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the “ Court ”), at the Company’s expense, on such notice as such justice may direct, for the appointment of a new warrant agent; but any new warrant agent so appointed by the Company or by the Court shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Warrantholders. Any new warrant agent appointed under any provision of this Section 11.7 shall be a company authorized to carry on the business of a transfer agent in the province of Ontario. On any such appointment the new warrant agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Warrant Agent without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but there shall be immediately executed, at the expense of the Company, all such conveyances or other instruments as may, in the opinion of Counsel, be necessary or advisable for the purpose of assuring the same to the new warrant agent, provided that, any resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent and appointment of a successor warrant agent shall not become effective until the successor warrant agent shall have executed an appropriate instrument accepting such appointment and, at the request of the Company, the predecessor Warrant Agent, upon payment of its outstanding remuneration and expenses, shall execute and deliver to the successor warrant agent an appropriate instrument transferring to such successor warrant agent all rights and powers of the Warrant Agent hereunder.

Section 1 .                            Definitions .  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain warrant indenture (the “ Warrant Indenture ”), dated March [●], 2019, between the Company and the Transfer Agent.

a)              Exercise of Warrant .  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “ Notice of Exercise ”).  Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise.   No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

c)              Cashless Exercise . If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
 
(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws of the United States) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the Primary Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day; As used herein, “ Primary Trading Market ” means the TSX unless the volume of trading of the Common Stock on the TSX in the 12 months immediately preceding was less than 25%, then Nasdaq.

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and


(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised.  The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
 
Bid Price ” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Primary Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Primary Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
 
VWAP ” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Primary Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Primary Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).


d)              Mechanics of Exercise .
 
i.      Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise .  The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”), provided that under no circumstances shall the Company be required to cause the Warrant Shares to be delivered prior to the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.   Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise.  If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each US$1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), US$10 per Trading Day (increasing to US$20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.  As used herein, “ Standard Settlement Period ” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s Primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
 

ii.      Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise .  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii.      Rescission Rights .  If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
 
iv.      Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise .  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of US$11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of US$10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder US$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 

v.      No Fractional Shares or Scrip .  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal (computed in the case of a fraction of a cent to the next lower cent) to the value of the right to acquire such fractional interest on the basis of the Current Market Price at the Exercise Date.  The minimum amount for payment pursuant to this Section shall be $1.00.
 
vi.      Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, including any rush fees of the Transfer Agent (provided the exercise is for not less than US$50,000), all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.  The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
 
vii.      Closing of Books .  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
 

e)              Holder’s Exercise Limitations .    The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “ Attribution Parties ”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other  Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.   To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.   In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply.  Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
 

Section 3 .                            Certain Adjustments .
 
a)              Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re‑classification.
 
b)              Subsequent Equity Sales .  If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect (such lower price, the “ Base Share Price ” and such issuances collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price), then simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of each Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, provided that the Base Share Price shall not be less than (and in such case shall equal) US$3.95 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, recapitalizations and similar transactions following the date of the Warrant Indenture).  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance.  “ Exempt Issuance ” shall mean the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors or contractors for service of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose and approved by the shareholders of the Company, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any Securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that such securities are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith and provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or to the equityholders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities).The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”).  For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.
 

c)              [RESERVED]
 
d)              [RESERVED]
 
e)              Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share Warrant Indenture or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share Warrant Indenture or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  If a majority of the warrants issued pursuant to the Offering and which remain outstanding are held by the original subscribers thereof, then: the Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of, and approved by the Holders (without unreasonable delay) of, a majority of the Warrants (the “Majority Holders”), prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Majority Holders, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Majority Holders. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
 

f)              Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
 
g)              Notice to Holder .
 
i.      Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
ii.      Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 15 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K or shall publicly disclose the material non-public information in accordance with applicable laws.  The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
 

Section 4 .                            Transfer of Warrant .
 
a)              Transferability .  This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full.  The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
 
b)              New Warrants . This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
 

c)              Warrant Register . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
Section 5 .                            Miscellaneous .
 
a)              No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise .  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
 
b)              Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
 
c)              Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc .  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
d)              Authorized Shares .
 
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
 
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
 
e)              Jurisdiction . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Indenture.
 
f)              Restrictions .  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by Applicable Securities Laws.
 
g)              Nonwaiver and Expenses .  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.  Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Warrant Indenture, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
 

h)              Notices .  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Warrant Indenture.
 
i)              Limitation of Liability .  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
j)              Remedies .  The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
k)              Successors and Assigns .  Subject to Applicable Securities Laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
 
l)              Amendment .  This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder .
 
m)              Severability .  Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
 
n)              Headings .  The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Titan Medical Closes Public Offering

TORONTO, March 21, 2019 – Titan Medical Inc. (“ Titan ” or the “ Company ”) (TSX:TMD) (Nasdaq:TMDI), a medical device company focused on the design, development and commercialization of a robotic surgical system for application in minimally invasive surgery (“ MIS ”), is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced public offering (the “ Offering ”) pursuant to an agency agreement dated March 18, 2019 between the Company and Bloom Burton Securities Inc. (the “ Agent ”).

The Company closed the Offering on March 21, 2019 and issued 7,352,941 units (the “ Units ”) for gross proceeds of approximately US $25,000,000. Each Unit was issued at a price of US $3.40 per Unit (the “ Offering Price ”) and is comprised of one common share of the Company (a “ Common Share ”) and one warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of US $4.00 until expiry on March 20, 2024.

The Agent also exercised, in full, the over-allotment option (the “ Over-Allotment Option ”) granted to the Agent in conjunction with the Offering and pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company sold an additional 1,102,941 Units at closing at the Offering Price for additional gross proceeds to the Company of approximately US $3,750,000.

The closing of the Offering and the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option together resulted in total gross proceeds of approximately US $28,750,000 and the sale and issuance of 8,455,882 Units.

The Common Shares sold and issued in connection with the closing were listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “TMD” and on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TMDI” on March 21, 2019.

The Units were qualified for sale by way of a prospectus dated March 18, 2019 (the “ Prospectus ”) filed by the Company in each of the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta, and a corresponding registration statement on Form F-10 (the “ Registration Statement ”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the U.S.-Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System. The Units were offered for sale in the United States through Northland Capital Markets, which was appointed by the Agent as a sub-agent. Northland Capital Markets is a division of Northland Securities, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund continued development work in connection with the Company’s SPORT Surgical System, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Further details are disclosed in the Prospectus, available at www.sedar.com and the Registration Statement, available at www.sec.gov .

Related Party Transaction

An aggregate of 1,350 Units were issued to an insider of the Company under the Offering for gross proceeds of US $4,590. The insider subscription constitutes a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61 101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61 101 ”). In completing the insider subscription, the Company relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61 101 set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61 ‐101, as the aggregate value of the insider subscription does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering due to the limited time between the commitment by the insider to purchase the subject Units and the closing.

INFORMATION CIRCULAR
April 29, 2019
 
Introduction
 
This Information Circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the management of Titan Medical Inc. (the “Corporation”) of proxies to be used at the annual and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of shareholders of the Corporation to be held at the Toronto Hilton Hotel, 145 Richmond Street West, Simcoe Room, Main Lobby, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2L2 at 12:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on Wednesday, May 29, 2019 for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.   Except where otherwise indicated, this Circular contains information as of the close of business on April 29, 2019.  It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail but proxies may also be solicited personally by management of the Corporation at nominal cost.  The cost of any such solicitation by management will be borne by the Corporation.
 
The Corporation may pay the reasonable costs incurred by persons who are the registered but not beneficial owners of voting shares of the Corporation (such as brokers, dealers, other registrants under applicable securities laws, nominees and/or custodians) in sending or delivering copies of this Circular and form of proxy to the beneficial owners of such shares.  The Corporation will provide, without cost to such persons, upon request to the Secretary of the Corporation, additional copies of the foregoing documents required for this purpose.
 
Forward‑Looking Statements
 
This Circular contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the Corporation based on assumptions that management of the Corporation considered reasonable at the time they were prepared.  These forward-looking statements, by their nature, necessarily involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.
 
Information Contained in this Circular
 
No person has been authorized to give information or to make any representations in connection with the matters to be considered at the Meeting other than those contained in this Circular and, if given or made, any such information or representations should not be relied upon in making a decision as to how to vote on the resolutions or be considered to have been authorized by the Corporation or the Board of Directors (the “ Board ” or “ Board of Directors ”) of the Corporation.
 
This Circular does not constitute an offer to buy, or a solicitation of an offer to sell, any securities.  This Circular also does not constitute the solicitation of a proxy by any person in any jurisdiction in which such a solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such a solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such a solicitation.
 
Shareholders should not construe the contents of this Circular as legal, tax or financial advice and should consult with their own professional advisors as to the relevant legal, tax, financial or other matters in connection with the Meeting.
 
A-1

General Proxy Matters
 
Appointment, Time for Deposit and Revocability of Proxy
 
Shareholders of the Corporation are either registered or non-registered.  Registered shareholders typically hold shares of the Corporation in their own names because they have requested that their shares be registered in their names on the records of the Corporation rather than holding such shares through an intermediary (intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self‑administered RRSP’s, RRIF’s, RESP’s and similar plans).  Most shareholders are non-registered because their shares are registered in the name of either (a) an intermediary with whom the non-registered shareholder deals in respect of their shares, or (b) a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the intermediary is a participant.
 
Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders will be permitted to vote at the Meeting.  Non‑registered shareholders may vote through a proxy or attend the Meeting to vote their own shares only if, before the Meeting, they communicate instructions to the intermediary or clearing agency that holds their shares.  Instructions for voting through a proxy, appointing a proxyholder and attending the Meeting to vote are set out in this Circular.
 
A shareholder may receive multiple packages of Meeting materials if the shareholder holds shares of the Corporation through more than one intermediary or if the shareholder is both a registered shareholder and a non‑registered shareholder for different shareholdings.  Any such shareholder should repeat the steps to vote through a proxy, appoint a proxyholder or attend the Meeting, if desired, separately for each shareholding to ensure that all the shares from the various shareholders are represented and voted at the meeting.
 
Voting by Proxy
 
Shareholders who are unable to be present at the Meeting may vote through the use of proxies.  Shareholders should convey their voting instructions using one of the two voting methods available: (1) use of the form of proxy or voting instruction form to be returned by mail, delivery or facsimile, or (2) use of the Internet voting procedure.  By conveying voting instructions in one of the two ways, shareholders can participate in the Meeting through the person or persons named on the voting instruction form or form of proxy.
 
To convey voting instructions through any of the two methods available, a shareholder must locate the voting instruction form or form of proxy, one of which is included with the Circular in the package of Meeting materials sent to all shareholders.  The voting instruction form is a white, computer scanable document with red squares marked “X” (the “ voting instruction form ”) and is sent to most non-registered shareholders.  The form of proxy is a form headed “Form of Proxy” (the “ form of proxy ”) and it is sent to all registered shareholders and a small number of non-registered shareholders.
 
Mail
 
A shareholder who elects to use the paper voting procedure should complete a voting instruction form or a form of proxy.  If the form of proxy is already signed, do not sign it again.  Complete the remainder of the voting instruction form or form of proxy.  Ensure that you date and sign the form at the bottom.  Completed voting instruction forms should be returned to the relevant intermediary in the envelope provided and should be received by the cut-off date shown on the voting instruction form.  Completed forms of proxy should be returned in the envelope provided to the Corporation’s transfer agent and registrar, Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“ Computershare ”), 100 University Avenue, 8 th Floor, South Tower, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 or by hand to: 8th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on May 27, 2019 (or the second last business day preceding any adjournment of the Meeting).
 
A-2


Fax
 
A shareholder who elects to use the facsimile voting procedure should complete a voting instruction form or a form of proxy.  If the form of proxy is already signed, do not sign it again.  Complete the remainder of the voting instruction form or form of proxy.  Ensure that you date and sign the form at the bottom.  Completed voting instruction forms should be faxed to the relevant intermediary at the number provided and should be received by the cut-off date shown on the voting instruction form.  Completed forms of proxy should be returned by fax to Computershare at 1-866-249-7775 no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on May 27, 2019 (or the second last business day preceding any adjournment of the Meeting).
 
Internet
 
Shareholders may convey their voting instructions through the Internet.  The relevant website address is set out on the voting instruction form and form of proxy.  Follow the instructions given through the Internet to cast your vote.  When instructed to enter your Web Voting ID Number, refer to your voting instruction form or your form of proxy.  Votes conveyed by the Internet must be received no later than the cut-off time given on the voting instruction form or the form of proxy.
 
Appointing a Proxyholder
 
Shareholders unable to attend the Meeting in person may participate and vote at the Meeting through a proxyholder.  The persons named on the enclosed form of proxy as proxyholders to represent shareholders at the Meeting, being David McNally and John E. Barker, are directors and/or officers of the Corporation.  A shareholder has the right to appoint a person or company instead of those named above to represent such shareholder at the Meeting.  A non-registered shareholder who would like to attend the Meeting to vote must arrange with the intermediary to have himself or herself appointed as the proxyholder.   To appoint a person or company instead of David McNally or John E. Barker as proxyholder, strike out the names on the voting instruction form or form of proxy and write the name of the person you would like to appoint as your proxyholder in the blank space provided.  That person need not be a shareholder of the Corporation.
 
Non-registered shareholders appointing a proxyholder using a voting instruction form should fill in the rest of the form indicating a vote “for”, “against” or “withhold”, as the case may be, for each of the proposals listed, sign and date the form and return it to the relevant intermediary or clearing agency in the envelope provided or by facsimile by the cut-off time given on the form.  Proxyholders named on a signed form of proxy will be entitled to vote at the Meeting upon presentation of the form of proxy.  No person will be entitled to vote at the Meeting by presenting a voting instruction form.

Majority Voting Policy
 
The Board of Directors has adopted a majority voting policy to the effect that if a director nominee in an uncontested election receives a greater number of votes “withheld” than votes “for”, he or she must immediately tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider the director’s offer to resign and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors whether to accept it or not. The Board of Directors shall accept the resignation unless there are exceptional circumstances, and the resignation will be effective when accepted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall make its final determination within 90 days after the date of the shareholder meeting and promptly announce that decision (including, if applicable, the exceptional circumstances for rejecting the resignation) in a news release. A director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to the majority voting policy will not participate in any meeting of the Board of Directors or the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee at which the resignation is considered. The majority voting policy does not apply to the election of directors at contested meetings; that is, where the number of directors nominated for election is greater than the number of seats available on the Board of Directors.

AMENDMENT TO OPTIONS ISSUED UNDER THE OPTION PLAN
 
Description of the Proposed Amendment
 
The Option Plan is used to award equity incentives to officers, directors, employees and service providers to encourage behavior that is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders.  The overarching purpose of the Option Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation by aligning the participants’ interests with those of the Corporation’s shareholders generally.
 
Over the past several years, the Corporation entered into a series of option agreements (each an “ Option Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Corporation granted to eligible participants options to purchase Common Shares (“ Options ”) at the applicable exercise price.  A total of 965,782 Options granted to participants remain outstanding, including 485,101 Options (“ Insider Options ”) that were granted to executive officer or employee participants who are insiders of the Corporation.  The following table sets out the Options that remain outstanding for each officer or employee participant who is an insider of the Corporation and the number of Common Shares that each such participant currently holds:

A-8


At the time the Options were issued, it was believed that the exercise price per Common Share would provide sufficient incentive to align the interests of participants with those of the Corporation.  However, due to adjustments to the exercise price of the Options that were required following the Corporation’s 30:1 share consolidation in June 2018, as approved by shareholders at the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on June 14, 2018, the Corporation’s current share price relative to the adjusted Option exercise prices is such that the Options may no longer be having their intended effect.  The exercise prices of the Insider Options range from $4.41 to $58.20 per share and exceed the market price of Common Shares, on both the TSX and the Nasdaq.  Consequently, the Corporation is proposing to amend all of the Options issued to officers and other employees of the Corporation so that the respective holder will be entitled to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price equal to the higher of the March 21, 2019 offering price of US$3.40 per share or the five day VWAP as determined as of the close of business on May 22, 2019 (the “ Exercise Price Amendment ”).  Options that have been issued to directors of the Corporation under the Option Plan will not be amended at this time.
 
Reasons Supporting the Exercise Price Amendment
 
The proposed Exercise Price Amendment is intended to re-align the interest of participants with those of the Corporation and its shareholders by setting the exercise price of the Options at a level more in line with the Corporation’s current share price.  The Exercise Price Amendment will also align the Options with the overriding principle of the Corporation’s determination of executive and employee compensation, which is to provide compensation packages that will attract and retain qualified and experienced directors, executive officers and employees, reward the executive officers and employees for their contribution to the overall success of the Corporation and integrate the longer term interests of the executive officers and employees with the investment objectives of the Corporation’s shareholders.
 
The Exercise Price Amendment will also ensure that officers and employees are not rewarded by receiving an exercise price for Options that is inappropriately low, by setting the revised exercise price at the higher of the 5-day VWAP of the Corporation’s Common Shares and the offering price per security in the Corporation’s most recent offering of securities.
 
Approvals Required for the Exercise Price Amendment
 
Section 613 of the TSX Company Manual (the “ Manual ”) provides that specific security holder approval is required for a reduction in the exercise price of a security based compensation arrangement that benefits an insider of an issuer.  As such, shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to approve the Exercise Price Amendment as it applies to Insider Options.  For the purposes of obtaining such shareholder approval, the votes of securities held directly or indirectly by executive officers or employees who are insiders benefiting directly or indirectly from the amendment must be excluded.  As such, in order to obtain the disinterested shareholder approval required by Section 613 of the Manual, votes attached to the 27,674 Common Shares held by executive officer or employee insider participants who will benefit from the Exercise Price Amendment must be excluded from voting on the Exercise Price Amendment as it relates to Insider Options.
 
Shareholders, other than shareholders who are insider participants in the Option Plan that will benefit from the Exercise Price Amendment, will be asked at the Meeting to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass the following resolution relating to the Exercise Price Amendment as it applies to Insider Options:
 
“RESOLVED THAT
 
1.              the Corporation is hereby authorized and directed to amend the exercise price of the common share purchase options (“ Options ”) granted to executive officers or employees who are insiders of the Corporation (collectively, the “ Insider   Participants ”) pursuant to agreements (each an “ Option Agreement ”) entered into between an Insider Participant and the Corporation under the Corporation’s stock option plan, amended and restated as of March 14, 2018, to a price equal to the higher of the March 21, 2019 offering price of US$3.40 per share or the five day volume weighted average price on either the TSX or the Nasdaq, as determined as of the close of business on May 28, 2019 (the “ Exercise Price Amendment ”).

2.              the Board of Directors of the Corporation be and it is hereby authorized to revoke, without further approval of the shareholders, this resolution at any time prior to the completion thereof, notwithstanding the approval by the shareholders of same, if determined, in the Board of Directors’ sole discretion to be in the best interest of the Corporation; and
 
3.              any director or officer of the Corporation is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver, for and on behalf of the Corporation, under its corporate seal or otherwise, the necessary amendments to the Option Agreements to implement the Exercise Price Amendment, subject to any changes as may be approved by such person, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution of said documents;

AMENDMENTS TO THE OPTION PLAN
 
Description of the Option Plan Amendments
 
The Option Plan is a “rolling” option plan. Prior to the amendments to the Option Plan, the maximum number of Common Shares that could be reserved for issuance under the Option Plan was 10% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares, from time to time. The Board has approved amendments to the Option Plan, subject to obtaining shareholder approval of such amendments at the Meeting, to increase the number of Common Shares that may be reserved under the Option Plan and any other security based compensation arrangements to 15% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares, from time to time.  If the adoptions of the SU Plan and DSU Plan are also approved by shareholders at the Meeting, the 15% maximum will be an aggregate number which applies to Common Shares reserved for issuances under options and any other awards granted pursuant to the Compensation Plans.  As of April 29, 2019, there are 31,150,237 Common Shares issued and outstanding, resulting in up to 4,672,536 Common Shares being available for reservation under the proposed Compensation Plans if the amendments to the Option Plan are approved by shareholders.
 
In addition, the Corporation is proposing to remove the limitation from the Option Plan that restricts the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance to insiders of the Corporation (as defined in the Manual) at any time and the number of Common Shares that may be issued to insiders of the Corporation within any one year period under the Compensation Plans and any other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, from exceeding 10% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Common Shares (such restrictions, the “ Insider Participation Limit ”).  The Corporation would instead restrict the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance to insiders of the Corporation at any time and the number of Common Shares that may be issued to insiders of the Corporation within any one year period under the Compensation Plans and any other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, from exceeding 15% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Common Shares.  The amended Option Plan is attached hereto as Schedule “B”, blacklined to the current version of the Option Plan.
 
Pursuant to the rules of the TSX, every three years after institution, all unallocated options, rights or other entitlements under a security based compensation arrangement which does not have a fixed maximum aggregate of securities issuable, must be approved by the issuer’s shareholders.  For the purposes of obtaining such shareholder approval in respect of the Corporation’s Compensation Plans, the votes of securities held directly or indirectly by insiders benefiting directly or indirectly from the amendment will be required to be excluded if the Insider Participation Limit is removed from the Option Plan.
 
The Corporation is proposing to maintain the current maximum aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any one participant under the Compensation Plans or any other equity incentive plan of the Corporation in any 12-month period at 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis).
 
A-10


Reasons Supporting the Option Plan Amendments
 
The Board believes these amendments are necessary to encourage Common Share ownership by directors, officers, consultants and key employees of the Corporation and its affiliates.  Particularly in conjunction with the adoption of the SU Plan and DSU Plan, the proposed amendments to the Option Plan will ensure that the Corporation, as it continues to grow its number of directors, officer, employees and consultants, has the flexibility to grant a sufficient number of awards, to each and in total, under the Compensation Plans to allow it to attract and retain talented and experienced directors, officers, employees and consultants.  Before reaching its conclusion, the Board commissioned an independent third party study of peer compensation, which yielded the result that 15% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares is reflective of similar compensation arrangements among the Corporation’s peers, determined based on the medical device industry, public company status and stage of commercialization.
 
Approvals Required for the Option Plan Amendments
 
Section 613 of the Manual also provides that specific security holder approval is required for an increase to the maximum number of securities issuable under a security based compensation arrangement as well as any amendment to remove or exceed the Insider Participation Limit.  For the purposes of obtaining such shareholder approval, the votes of securities held directly or indirectly by insiders benefiting directly or indirectly from the amendment must be excluded.  As such, in order to obtain the disinterested shareholder approval required by Section 613 of the Manual, votes attached to the 60,501 Common Shares held by insider participants who will benefit from the amendments to the Option Plan must be excluded from voting on such amendments.
 
Shareholders, other than insiders of the Corporation that will benefit from the amendments to the Option Plan, will be asked at the Meeting to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass the following resolution relating to such amendments:
 
“RESOLVED THAT:
 

1.
the amendments to the Corporation’s stock option plan, amended and restated as of March 14, 2018 (the “ Option Plan ”) to increase the maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan and the SU Plan of the Corporation and the DSU Plan of the Corporation (if the same are established) to 15% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, from time to time are hereby approved, subject to such changes as may be required to be made in order to comply with the requirements of the TSX;
 

2.
the amendments to the Option Plan to increase the limit of the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance to insiders of the Corporation at any time thereunder and under the other Compensation Plans (if the same are established) and the number of common shares that may be issued to insiders of the Corporation within any one year period under the Option Plan and the other Compensation Plans (if the same are established) to 15% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Common Shares are hereby approved, subject to such changes as may be required to be made in order to comply with the requirements of the TSX;
 

3.
all options outstanding under the Stock Option Plan or any previous form of stock option plan shall remain valid and outstanding and they shall be governed by the terms of the applicable previous form of stock option plan as it existed when they were granted;
 

4.
notwithstanding the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation as herein provided the Board of Directors of the Corporation, may, in its sole discretion, at any time suspend or terminate the amendments to the Stock Option Plan provided for herein or revoke this resolution before it is acted upon, without further approval of the shareholders of the Corporation; and
 

5.
any one director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Corporation, to execute and deliver or file such documents and instruments and to do all such other acts and things as are required or as such director or officer, in such director’s or officer’s sole discretion, may deem necessary to give full effect to or carry out the provisions of the above resolution.”
 
The Board recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the foregoing resolution ratifying, confirming and approving the amendments to the Option Plan.
 
A-11


Unless such authority is withheld, the persons named in the enclosed instrument of proxy intend to vote for the proposed amendments to the Option Plan.

ADOPTION OF THE SU PLAN AND THE DSU PLAN
 
Description of the SU Plan and the DSU Plan
 
The Corporation’s long term incentive plan is currently only comprised of stock option awards.  While the Corporation continues to believe that Options provide management and other key personnel with strong alignment to long-term corporate performance and ultimately the creation of increasing shareholder value, the Corporation also feels that it is important to diversify its long-term incentive plans to include other forms of performance-contingent and other compensation. Accordingly, the Corporation is proposing to expand its long-term incentive program to include the SU Plan and the DSU Plan.
 
The Board has approved the SU Plan and the DSU Plan, a summary of each of which is provided below under the heading “ Compensation Plans ”.  The proposed SU Plan and DSU Plan are attached as Schedules “C” and “D”, respectively, and the summaries of the Plans below are qualified by the Plans in their entirety.  Pursuant to the SU Plan, the Board may, from time to time, provide eligible executive officers and employees of the Corporation and its affiliates with a grant of performance share units (“ PSU ”) and/or restricted share units (“ RSU ”).  Pursuant to the DSU Plan, the Compensation Committee may provide eligible directors of the Corporation with deferred share units (“ DSU ”).  In accordance with the policies of the TSX, the Corporation is required to obtain the approval of shareholders for each of the Plans at the Meeting. No awards are intended to be made pursuant to either Plan prior to obtaining such approval.
 
If approved, both Plans will be effective as of May 29, 2019, and if the proposed amendments to the Option Plan are also approved by shareholders at the Meeting:
 

the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares that will be reserved for issuance under the Compensation Plans will be equal to 15% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, from time to time (provided that if the proposed amendments to the Option Plan are not approved by shareholders, the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares that will be reserved for issuance under the Compensation Plans will be equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, from time to time);
 

the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued to insiders of the Corporation pursuant to the Option Plan, the SU Plan and the DSU Plan will exceed the Insider Participation Limit (as defined in the rules of the TSX) such that the number of Common Shares issued to insiders of the Corporation within any one year period and the number of Common Shares issuable to insiders of the Corporation under the Compensation Plans at any time may exceed 10%, but shall not exceed the proposed maximum limit of 15%, of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
 
Reasons Supporting the Adoption of the SU Plan and DSU Plan
 
The Corporation has a strong desire to attract and retain the best possible talent, whether that be seasoned and experienced executives, successful and proven board members, or additional key leaders and employees.  The Corporation requires the use of stock options, as well as the awards provided under the proposed SU Plan and DSU Plan to accomplish these objectives.
 
With the introduction of the SU Plan, the Corporation will be able to include (performance contingent) PSUs and (tenure contingent) RSUs as part of its long-term incentive plan.  The intent of the SU plan is to align the participants in the SU Plan to the longer term strategic objectives of the Corporation.  Strengthening the alignment of these participants’ long term objectives with the Corporation’s long term strategic objectives underscores the importance of achieving long term results as well as the essential need to meet quarterly and annual objectives.
 
A-12


With the introduction of the DSU Plan, the Corporation will gain flexibility in its ability to reward directors for their service on the Board.  The intent of the DSU Plan is to allow directors to participate in the long-term success of the Corporation and promote a greater alignment of directors’ interests with the interests of shareholders of the Corporation.
 
Approvals Required for the Adoption of the SU Plan and DSU Plan
 
Section 613 of the Manual provides that Board and majority security holder approval is required for the adoption of a security based compensation arrangement.  In addition, insiders of the Corporation entitled to receive a benefit under the arrangement are not eligible to vote their securities in respect of the approvals required if the arrangement does not include the Insider Participation Limit.  As such, in order to obtain the shareholder approval required by Section 613 of the Manual, votes attached to the 60,501 Common Shares held by insider participants who will be entitled to a benefit under the SU Plan or DSU Plan must be excluded from voting on the such amendments.
 
Shareholders, other than insiders that will be entitled to receive a benefit under the SU Plan or the DSU Plan, will be asked at the Meeting to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass the following resolution relating to the adoption of the SU Plan and the DSU Plan:
 
“RESOLVED THAT:

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
The Board of Directors is responsible for evaluating compensation for the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and reviewing their salaries and any bonuses on an annual basis.  The President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for evaluating and reviewing the salaries and bonuses of all other employees and consultants of the Corporation.  While the Board of Directors of the Corporation has not adopted a written policy concerning the compensation of Named Executive Officers, it has developed a consistent approach and philosophy relating to compensation. The overriding principles in the determination of executive compensation are the need to provide total compensation packages that will attract and retain qualified and experienced executives, reward the executives for their contribution to the overall success of the Corporation and integrate the longer term interests of the executives with the investment objectives of the Corporation’s shareholders.
 
As noted in the previous paragraph, the Corporation has five Named Executive Officers and places primary importance on the talent of these employees to manage and grow the Corporation.  Based on the size of the Corporation and its relatively small number of employees, the Corporation’s executives are required to be multi-disciplined, self-reliant and highly experienced.  In determining specific compensation amounts for the executive officers, the Board of Directors considers factors such as experience, individual performance, length of service, role in achieving corporate objectives, positive research and development results, stock price and compensation compared to other employment opportunities for executives.
 
The Corporation is an early-stage company engaged in the development and commercialization of robotic surgical technologies.  As the Corporation is in the product development stage, it cannot rely on revenues from its operations to finance its activities and advance its goals.  Consequently, the Corporation looks to raising the requisite capital to finance such activities through equity financings, which are influenced by the financial market’s assessment of the Corporation’s overall enterprise value and its prospects.  These in turn are influenced, to a great extent, by the results of its research and development activities and progress in commercializing robotic surgical technologies.  The contribution that each of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer make to this endeavour, on a subjective analysis by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors at the end of each fiscal year, is the primary factor in determining aggregate compensation.  In considering such contribution, the Board of Directors considers various factors, including, among other things, (i) the ongoing and progressive development of the Corporation’s robotic surgical technology; (ii) the identification and attainment of appropriate milestones that adequately reflect the ongoing development of the Corporation’s robotic surgical technology, (iii) the formation and development of key partnerships with leading academic and research organizations through which the Corporation’s products can be tested, and (iv) the recruitment, management and retention of qualified technical and other personnel, among other things.
 
Compensation for Named Executive Officers consists of base salary, cash bonuses and incentive stock options. In establishing compensation, the Corporation attempts to pay competitively in the aggregate as well as deliver an appropriate balance between annual compensation (base salary and cash bonuses) and option based compensation (incentive stock options).
 
The role of the Compensation Committee in recommending to the Board the compensation for Named Executive Officers is described under “ Compensation Committee ”.
 
The decisions in respect of each individual compensation element are taken into account in determining each of the other compensation elements to ensure a Named Executive Officer’s overall compensation is consistent with the objectives of the compensation program while considering that not all objectives are applicable to each Named Executive Officer.
 
In 2017, the Compensation Committee retained Hugessen Consulting Inc. (“ Hugessen ”) to serve as the Committee’s independent compensation consultant. Hugessen provides independent advice to the Compensation Committee with respect to executive and director compensation and relative governance matters. In 2018, Hugessen provided the following services to the Compensation Committee:
 

Performed a high-level review of executive and director compensation levels and design;
 

Provided input on the topics of equity compensation and peer group design; and
 

Provided additional input and advice to the Compensation Committee, as requested.

The Compensation Committee did not follow a formal practice to consider the implications of the risks associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices in 2018.
 
The Corporation has established the Option Plan for officers, directors, employees and service providers of the Corporation, prepared in compliance with the requirements of the TSX, which is administered by the Board of Directors.  The purpose of the Option Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation by closely aligning the participants’ personal interests with those of the Corporation’s shareholders generally.  Subject to the provisions of the Option Plan, the Board of Directors determines and designates from time to time the optionees to whom options are to be granted, the number of Common Shares to be optioned and the other terms and conditions of the stock option grant.  The Board of Directors considers factors such as individual performance, the significance of individual contribution to the success of the Corporation, experience, and length of service in determining the amounts of options awarded.
 
If the SU Plan and DSU Plan are approved by shareholders at the Meeting, the Corporation will have additional flexibility to reward key employees for their service time and performance and directors of the Corporation for their service, while ensuring that the interests of such key employees and directors continue to be aligned with the interests of the Corporation’s shareholders.
 
See the section titled “ Compensation Plans ” for further disclosure relating to the Option Plan, the SU Plan and the DSU Plan.
 
Compensation Committee
 
The awarding of annual bonus and option-based awards is subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, exercised annually, as more fully described herein, and is at risk and not subject to any minimum amount. Furthermore, if the Compensation Committee determines that the compensation of the Corporation for certain executives and other personnel, including option-based awards, is low compared to comparable companies, the Compensation Committee may determine to grant option-based awards to assist the Corporation in retaining and attracting key executive talent and to further align the compensation of the executive officers and other key employees with long-term interests of shareholders. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors also have the discretion to adjust the weightings assigned to objectives for executives, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, and award a higher or lower annual incentive value to one or more executive officers than achievement of applicable corporate objectives might otherwise suggest, based on their assessment of the challenges and factors that might have impacted the ability to achieve the objective or attain the highest assessment ranking, or other factors such as rewarding individual performance or recognizing the ability (or inability) of the Corporation to achieve its goals and strategic objectives and create shareholder value. In exercising its discretion, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors may also consider, among other factors, risk management and regulatory compliance, the performance of executive officers in managing risk and whether payment of the incentive compensation might present or give rise to material risks to the Corporation or otherwise affect the risks faced by the Corporation and the management of those risks.
 
In assessing the general competitiveness of the compensation of the Corporation’s Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee considers base salary, total cash compensation and total direct compensation (including the value of long term incentives) relative to a comparator group of publicly listed companies and reviews benchmark data composed of the group’s executive compensation data for matching positions. The peer group consists of the following comparable technology companies:
 
A-15

   Compensation Peer Group    
       
    Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc.   Bovie Medical Corporation  
 
Neovasc Inc.
Profound Medical Corp.

IRadimed Corporation
MRI Interventions, Inc.
 
 
Microbot Medical Inc.
ReWalk Robotics Ltd.
 
 
BIOLASE, Inc.
Medigus Ltd.
 
 
TransEnterix, Inc.
   

In addition to advice obtained from compensation consultants, the Compensation Committee undertakes its own assessment of the competitiveness of the Corporation’s compensation and incentive programs, based on information obtained from such consultants and other information that may be available to the Compensation Committee. Decisions as to compensation are made by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors and may reflect factors and considerations other than the information and, if applicable, recommendations provided by compensation consultants.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
 
The Canadian Securities Administrators have adopted National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (the “ Disclosure Rule ”).  The Disclosure Rule establishes disclosure requirements regarding corporate governance practices of a reporting issuer as well as the requirement to file any written code of business conduct and ethics that a reporting issuer has adopted.  Set out below is a description of the Corporation’s approach to corporate governance as required by the Disclosure Rule.
 
Board of Directors
 
Currently, four of the six members of the Board of Directors are independent directors.  An independent director is defined as a director who has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation, being a relationship which could be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgement. As at December 31, 2018, Messrs. McNally and Randall are considered to be non-independent by virtue of their management position with the Corporation and their employment relationships with the Corporation.  The Board believes that their extensive knowledge of the Corporation’s business and affairs is beneficial to the other directors and their participation as directors contributes to the effectiveness of the Board.  Of the current directors, Messrs.  John E. Barker, John Schellhorn and Domenic Serafino are considered to be independent directors and, should he be elected to the Board at the Meeting, Charles Federico will also be considered to be an independent director.  These determinations were made by the Board based upon an examination of the factual circumstances of each director and consideration of any interests, business or relationships, which any director may have with the Corporation.
 
As part of each regularly scheduled quarterly board meeting, the independent directors have an in camera session, exclusive of non-independent directors and management. At the present time, the Board believes that the knowledge, experience and qualifications of its independent directors are sufficient to ensure that the Board can function independently of management and discharge its responsibilities.
 
The Chairman of the Board of Directors, John E. Barker, is an independent director.  The Corporation does not have a designated lead director.  The Board utilizes its own in-house expertise, and that of its legal counsel, to provide advice and consultation on current and anticipated matters of corporate governance.

Other Reporting Issuer Experience
 
None of the directors of the Corporation are directors of other reporting issuers (other than the Corporation) as of the date of this Circular:
 
Board Mandate
 
The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall stewardship of the Corporation and operates pursuant to a written mandate, which was updated and approved by the Board in March 2018 and as set out in Schedule “A” to this management information circular.
 
Position Descriptions
 
The Board has developed written position descriptions for the Chair of the Board of Directors and the chair of each committee. With respect to management’s responsibilities, generally, any matters of material substance to the Corporation are submitted to the Board for, and are subject to, its approval.  Such matters include those matters which must by law be approved by the Board (such as share issuances) and other matters of material significance to the Corporation, including any debt or equity financings, investments, acquisitions and divestitures, and the incurring of material expenditures or legal commitments.  The Board and/or its audit committee also reviews and approves the Corporation’s major communications with shareholders and the public including the annual report, if any, (and financial statements contained therein), quarterly reports to shareholders, the annual management information circular and the annual information form.  The specific corporate objectives which the chief executive officer is responsible for meeting (aside from the overall objective of enhancing shareholder value) are, in the Corporation’s case, typically related to the advancement, growth, management and financing of the Corporation and its research and development project and matters ancillary thereto.
 
Orientation and Continuing Education
 
The Corporation does not provide a formal orientation or education program for Board members, as it believes that such programs are not appropriate for a development stage company with an experienced Board, the members of which have been selected for their specific expertise.
 
The Corporation’s directors are highly experienced and knowledgeable, both individually and as a group.  The directors have either a medical or business background and have long careers in or related to the medical, health or financial industry and are intimately familiar with the Corporation’s project, through sufficient interactions with management and technology developers.
 
To ensure that the Board has and maintains the skill and knowledge necessary for them to meet their obligations as directors of the Corporation.  Summary technology presentations by management relating to various aspects of the Corporation’s products is made at meetings of the Board.  The Board believes that discussion among the directors and management at these meetings provides a valuable learning resource for the directors with non-technical expertise in the subject matter presented, and that those directors provide management with valuable insights into broader issues facing the Corporation.
 
A-22


Ethical Business Conduct
 
The Corporation is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and this philosophy is communicated by the Board to management, and by management to employees, on a regular basis.

In order to ensure that the directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements, the Board requires that all directors declare any conflicts of interest with issues or situations as they arise.  This would include transactions/agreements in which a director/officer has material interest.
 
Nomination of Directors
 
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is a standing committee appointed by the Board and it is responsible for overseeing and assessing the functioning of the Board and the committees of the Board and for the development, recommendation to the Board, implementation and assessment of effective corporate governance principles. The Committee’s responsibilities also include identifying candidates for directorship and recommending that the Board select qualified director candidates for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders.
 
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is composed entirely of independent directors, currently being John E. Barker, Domenic Serafino and John Schellhorn. Charles Federico will also join the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee should he be elected to the Board at the Meeting.
 
Audit Committee
 
The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee. The Audit Committee met five times during the financial year ended December 31, 2018.
 
Audit Committee Charter
 
The text of the Audit Committee Charter is attached as Schedule “A” to the Corporation’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2018, a copy of which is available on SEDAR.
 
Composition of the Audit Committee

Relevant Education and Experience
 
Messrs. Barker , Serafino, Schellhorn are the current directors on the Corporation’s Audit Committee and have been senior officers and/or directors of publicly traded companies and business executives for a number of years.  In addition, Mr. Federico, who also has significant experience as a senior officer and director of other public and privately held issuers, will join the Audit Committee should he be elected to the Board at the Meeting.  In these positions, each individual has been responsible for receiving financial information relating to the entities of which they were directors or senior officers. They had or have developed an understanding of financial statements generally and understand how those statements are used to assess the financial position of a company and its operating results. Each member of the Audit Committee also has a significant understanding of the business in which the Corporation is engaged and has an appreciation for the relevant accounting principles for the Corporation’s business.

(3)
“Tax Fees” are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
(4)
“All Other Fees” were paid for audit related services including regulatory filings and comfort letters in connection with prospectus offerings completed during the calendar year.

Compensation and Compensation Committee
 
Compensation matters are dealt with by the Compensation Committee of the Corporation.  The function of the Compensation Committee is to review the compensation terms of each officer of the Corporation annually as well as at any other times as necessary.  After considering inputs from senior management, the Compensation Committee makes a recommendation to the Board for approved compensation terms for each officer of the Corporation.  Among other things, the Compensation Committee also recommends the structure of the compensation in terms of the amount of cash and/or number of options to be granted.  The members of the Compensation Committee have several years of relevant experience, having served as senior business executives with other companies and as members of compensation committees of other companies.
 
All four current members of the Compensation Committee, namely, Messrs. Barker, Schellhorn and Serafino are considered to be independent directors.  Mr. Federico, who will also be considered to be an independent director, will join the Compensation Committee should he be elected to the Board at the Meeting.  The Compensation Committee met three times during the financial year ended December 31, 2018.
 
Other Board Committees
 
The Board has no standing committee other than the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.
 
Assessments
 
The Board, its committees and individual directors are not regularly assessed with respect to their effectiveness and contribution, as the Board believes that such assessments are generally more appropriate for corporations of significantly larger size and complexity than the Corporation and which may have significantly larger boards of directors.  A more formal assessment process will be instituted as, if, and when the Board deems necessary.
 
Director Tenure
 
It is proposed that each of the persons elected as a director at the Meeting will serve until the close of the next annual meeting of the Corporation or until his or her successor is elected or appointed. The Board has not adopted a term limit for directors.   The Board believes, at this time, that the imposition of director term limits on a board may discount the value of experience and continuity amongst board members and runs the risk of excluding experienced and potentially valuable board members. This decision is subject to review on an annual basis.  The Board does not follow a formal director assessment procedure in evaluating Board members.  However, the Board believes that it can best strike the right balance between continuity and fresh perspectives without mandated term limits.
 
A-24

Representation of Women on the Board and in Executive Officer Positions
 
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s Charter encourages diversity in the composition of the Board of Directors and requires periodic review of the composition of the Board of Directors as a whole to recommend, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board of Directors reflects the appropriate balance of diversity, knowledge, experience, skills and expertise required for the Board of Directors as a whole.  Accordingly, while the Board of Directors has not adopted a written policy nor targets relating to the identification and nomination of women directors, the Board of Directors does take into consideration a nominee’s potential to contribute to diversity within the Board of Directors. Given that diversity is part of determining the overall balance, which includes gender, the Board of Directors has not adopted a gender specific policy target.
 
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recognizes the value of diversity.  Currently, the Board of Directors is comprised of male directors.  The Board of Directors does not follow a formal process for proposing female nominees for Board of Director vacancies.  Rather the Board of Directors focuses on the qualification and professional or business experience of each individual nominee.
 
Consistent with the Corporation’s approach to diversity at the Board of Director level, the Corporation’s hiring practices include consideration of diversity across a number of areas, including gender.  None of the current executive officer positions of the Corporation are held by women. The Corporation does not have a target number of women executive officers.  Given the small size of its executive team, the Corporation believes that implementing targets would not be appropriate.  However, in its hiring practices, the Corporation considers the level of representation of women in executive officer positions.

APPOINTMENT AND REMUNERATION OF AUDITORS
 
Unless such authority is withheld, the persons named in the enclosed instrument of proxy intend to vote for the re‑appointment of BDO Canada LLP of Toronto, Ontario, as auditors of the Corporation to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration.  BDO Canada LLP were first appointed auditors of the Corporation on December 13, 2010.
 
COMPENSATION PLANS
 
Option Plan
 
The Option Plan is attached hereto as Schedule “B” and the following summary is qualified in its entirety by the Option Plan.
 
Prior Approval of the Option Plan
 
The Option Plan was last approved at the 2018 annual and special meeting of Shareholders on June 14, 2018.
 
Terms of the Plan
 
Directors, officers and employees of the Corporation, as well as persons or companies engaged by the Corporation to provide services on a continuous basis for an initial, renewable or extended period of twelve months or more (and may include persons or companies such as consulting researchers, doctors and other consultants), are eligible to be granted options under the Option Plan even if they are not full time employees of the Corporation. The purpose of the Option Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation by closely aligning the participants’ personal interests with those of the Corporation’s shareholders generally.
 
Options granted under the Option Plan are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are typically granted in such numbers as reflect the level of responsibility and participation of the particular optionee as determined over the course of the year. The terms of the Option Plan provide that the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable thereunder (and under any other employee stock option plans or other share compensation arrangements) cannot, at the time of the option grant, exceed 10% (or 15% if the Option Plan amendments are approved by shareholders) of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding. If the amendments to the Option Plan are approved by shareholders at the Meeting, the aggregate number of Common Shares issued to insiders, within any one year period, and issuable to insiders, at any time, under the Option Plan and any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Corporation will be increased from 10% of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding to 15% of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding.
 
A-25

The aggregate number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance to any one participant under the Option Plan or under any other plan of the corporation may not exceed 5% of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding (calculated on a non-diluted basis) in any 12-month period.
 
The price at which Common Shares may be issued upon exercise of options granted under the Option Plan cannot be lower than the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX over the period of five days immediately preceding the date of the grant. Options issued under the Option Plan may be exercised during a period determined by the Board, which shall not exceed ten years. In addition, notwithstanding the expiration date applicable to any Option, if an Option would otherwise expire during or immediately after a Blackout Period (as defined in the Option Plan), then the expiration date of such Option shall be the 10th business day following the expiration of the Blackout Period, provided that in no event shall the period during which said Option is exercisable be extended beyond 10 years from the date such option is granted to the optionee. Options granted under the Option Plan are subject to immediate termination upon the dismissal of an employee with cause. If an optionee ceases to hold any position as an optionee, by reason of retirement, resignation, or termination other than for cause, the vested Options terminate on the earlier of the normal expiry date of the Option or 90 days from cessation or such longer period following cessation as the Board of Directors shall determine 1 , provided that in no case may an Option expire any later than the normal expiry date.  Under the Option Plan, in the event of death or disability of the optionee, his or her Options may be exercised during the one year period following the date of the event to the extent the Options were exercisable on the date of such event. The Options vest over a period determined by the Board of Directors. The Options are non-transferable and non-assignable unless permitted by the Board or unless such transfers are to Eligible Assignees (as defined in the plan). There is no agreement under which financial assistance will be provided by the Corporation to facilitate the purchase of shares under the Option Plan.
 
The Board has the discretion to make amendments to the Option Plan and any Options granted thereunder which it may deem necessary, without having to obtain shareholder approval. Such changes include, without limitation:
 

(a)
Minor changes of a “housekeeping nature”;
 

(b)
Amending the Options under the Option Plan, including with respect to the option period (provided that the period during which an Option is exercisable does not exceed ten years from the date the Option is granted and that such Option is not held by an insider), vesting period, exercise method and frequency, subscription price (provided that such option is not held by an insider), and method of determining the subscription price, assignability and effect of termination of an optionee’s employment or cessation of the optionee’s directorship;
 

(c)
Changing the class of optionees eligible to participate under the Option Plan;
 

(d)
accelerating vesting or extending the expiration date of any Option (provided that such option is not held by an insider), and where such option is held by an insider in such case, shareholder approval shall be obtained in connection with the extension;
 

(e)
changing the terms and conditions of any financial assistance which may be provided by the Corporation to optionees to facilitate the purchase of common shares under the Option Plan; and
 

(f)
adding a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities, which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying common shares from the Option Plan reserve.
 


1   The Option Plan was amended to provide discretion to the Board to extend the termination period following cessation of employment other than for cause in fiscal 2018.  The amended and restated Option Plan, including the aforementioned amendment, was approved by the Board on March 14, 2018 and by the shareholders of the Corporation at the Corporation’s annual and special meeting held on June 14, 2018.

A-26


Shareholder approval will be required in the case of: (i) any amendment to the amendment provisions of the Option Plan; (ii) any increase in the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Option Plan; and (iii) any reduction in the exercise price or extension of the option period benefiting an insider, in addition to such other matters that may require shareholder approval under the rules and policies of the TSX.
 
The Option Plan permits the Board of Directors to suspend or terminate the Option Plan, as well as to amend or revise the terms of the Option Plan, subject to any applicable regulatory approval, provided that no such amendment or revisions shall alter the terms of any Options theretofore granted under the Option Plan.

SU PLAN
 
The purpose of the SU Plan is to encourage selected eligible employees of the Corporation and its affiliates to acquire a proprietary interest in the growth and performance of the Corporation, generate an increased incentive to contribute to the Corporation’s future success and prosperity and align the interests of such eligible employees with the Corporation’s long-term strategy and with the interests of the Corporation’s shareholders.  The SU Plan is attached hereto as Schedule “C” and the following summary is qualified in its entirety by the SU Plan.
 
Terms of the SU Plan
 
Regular full-time or part-time employees of the Corporation or of an Affiliate of the Corporation are entitled to participate in the SU Plan.
 
Assuming the shareholders approve the proposed amendments to the Option Plan set out under the heading “ Amendment to the Option Plan ”, the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares that are reserved for issuance under the Compensation Plans will be equal to 15% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, from time to time.  In addition, the Common Shares and other securities reserved for issuance to insiders of the Corporation under the Compensation Plans, and any other share compensation arrangements of the Corporation, shall not exceed 15% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Corporation and the number of Common Shares and other securities issued to insiders of the Corporation within any one year period under the Compensation Plans and any other share compensation arrangements of the Corporation, shall not exceed 15% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Corporation.  Finally, the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation that may be issued under the Compensation Plans, and any other share compensation arrangements of the Corporation, to any single participant and his, her or its associates within any one year period may not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Corporation and the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation that may be reserved for issuance under the Compensation Plans, and any other share compensation arrangements of the Corporation, to any single participant and his, her or its associates may not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Corporation.
 
A-27


All of the vested RSUs and PSUs covered by a particular award grant under the SU Plan will be settled on the first business day following the vesting date for a value per unit based on either the fair market value of a Common Share on the day prior to the vesting date or an average fair market value of a Common Share over a specified number of days prior to the vesting date.  Unless otherwise stated in a particular award agreement entered into pursuant to the SU Plan, RSUs and PSUs shall vest on the third anniversary of their grant date.  Subject to the terms of the SU Plan and of any applicable award agreement entered into pursuant to the SU Plan, payments or transfers to be made by the Corporation or an affiliate upon the settlement of an award may be made in such form or forms as the Compensation Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, Common Shares purchased on the open market, Common Shares issued from treasury, other securities or other awards, or any combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment or transfer.
 
In the event that a participant in the SU Plan voluntarily resigns from the Corporation or has their employment terminated for cause, all RSUs or PSUs shall be cancelled effective at the commencement of the date the former participant’s employment ceases and no distributions shall be made to such former participant under the SU Plan.  In the event that a participant in the SU Plan has their employment with the Corporation terminated without cause, dies, retires or is disabled, the number of RSUs or PSUs granted to such participant that is proportionate to the portion of the vesting period of such RSUs or PSUs during which the participant was employed by the Corporation shall vest on their vesting date.  In the event that a participant under the SU Plan is terminated following a change of control of the Corporation, any RSUs or PSUs granted to such participant shall vest on the date of the change of control.
 
RSUs and PSUs granted under the SU Plan are not transferrable or assignable by the grantee, other than through the laws of descent and distribution, although participants may be permitted by the Compensation Committee to designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the participant if they were to die.  The Compensation Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the SU Plan in whole or in part without shareholder approval, provided however, that at any time while the Common Shares are listed for trading on the TSX, the Compensation Committee will not be entitled to amend the Share Unit Plan or any Share Unit granted under it (together with any related Share Unit agreement) without shareholder approval, and if applicable, TSX approval: (i) to increase the maximum number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the SU Plan; (ii) to permit the assignment or transfer of a Share Unit other than as provided for in the SU Plan; (iii) to add to the categories of persons eligible to participate in the SU Plan; (iv) to remove or amend certain sections of the SU Plan, including the section that governs amendments to the SU Plan; or (vi) in any other circumstances where TSX and shareholder approval is required by the TSX.
 
The Compensation Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any RSUs or PSUs granted, prospectively or retroactively, provided however that no such change shall be made without the consent of the affected participant if the rights of such participant with respect to the RSUs or PSUs would be impaired.
 
Awards Available for Issuance under the SU Plan
 
The following table summarizes, as of April 18, 2019, the number of awards outstanding under the Compensation Plans as of April 18, 2019, and the number of awards remaining available for grant under the Compensation Plans as of April 18, 2019, all assuming the amendments to the Option Plan set out under the heading “ Amendment to the Option Plan ” are approved by shareholders at the Meeting and the SU Plan and DSU Plan are adopted by shareholders at the Meeting.

DSU Plan
 
The purpose of the DSU Plan is to provide directors of the Corporation with the opportunity to acquire DSUs in order to allow them to participate in the long-term success of the Corporation and to promote a greater alignment of their interests with the interests of the Corporation’s shareholders.
 
Terms of the DSU Plan
 
Any director of the Corporation is eligible to participate in the DSU Plan. The DSU Plan is attached hereto as Schedule “D” and the following summary is qualified in its entirety by the DSU Plan.
 
Assuming the shareholders approve the proposed amendments to the Option Plan set out under the heading “ Amendment to the Option Plan ”, the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares that are reserved for issuance under the Compensation Plans will be equal to 15% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, from time to time.  The maximum number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding DSUs at any time shall be limited to 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.  In addition, the Common Shares and other securities reserved for issuance to insiders of the Corporation under the Compensation Plans, and any other share compensation arrangements of the Corporation, shall not exceed 15% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Corporation and the number of Common Shares and other securities issued to insiders of the Corporation within any one year period under the Compensation Plans and any other share compensation arrangements of the Corporation, shall not exceed 15% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Corporation.  The DSU Plan does not limit grants to an individual director either under the DSU Plan generally or during any one year period.  Upon the cancelation, expiry or settlement of DSUs, Common Shares reserved for issuance thereunder shall be available for subsequent grants of DSUs pursuant to the DSU Plan.
 
DSUs will be fully vested upon being granted and credited to a participant’s account.  Participants in the DSU Plan shall either (i) receive a payment in cash equal in value to the number of DSUs recorded in the Participant’s Account on the Distribution Date multiplied by the fair market value of a Common Share of the Corporation on the distribution date or (ii) receive that number of Common Shares of the Corporation that is equal to the number of DSUs in the participant’s account on the distribution date or (iii) a combination of cash and Common Shares (in accordance with the DSU Plan).  The distribution date in respect of a participant in the DSU Plan shall be the earliest date on which the participant is no longer a member of the Board and is not otherwise employed by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or such later date that the participant in the DSU Plan may elect.  In the event that a participant dies while they are a member of the Board, the participant’s estate will receive either Common Shares or a cash payment or a combination thereof (as described in the DSU Plan) on or about 30 days following the date the Corporation is provided with notice of the death.
 
DSUs granted under the DSU Plan may not be assigned, transferred sold, pledged or charged by the participant under the Plan.  The Board may amend, suspend or discontinue the DSU Plan or amend any DSU or DSU agreement at any time without the consent of a participant, provided that such amendment shall not adversely alter or impair the rights of any participant in respect of any DSU previously granted to such participant under the DSU Plan, except as otherwise permitted under the DSU Plan. In addition, the Board may, by resolution, amend the DSU Plan and any DSU granted under it (together with any related DSU agreement) without shareholder approval, provided however, that at any time while the Common Shares are listed for trading on the TSX, the Board will not be entitled to amend the DSU Plan or any DSU granted under it (together with any related DSU agreement) without shareholder approval and, if applicable, TSX approval: (i) to increase the maximum number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the DSU Plan; (ii) to permit the assignment or transfer of a DSU other than as provided for in the DSU Plan; (iii) to add to the categories of persons eligible to participate in the DSU Plan; (iv) to remove or amend certain sections of the DSU Plan, including the section that governs amendments to the DSU Plan; or (vi) in any other circumstances where TSX and shareholder approval is required by the TSX.  If the Board terminates or suspends the DSU Plan, previously credited DSUs will remain outstanding and in effect in accordance with the terms of the DSU Plan.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MANDATE
 

 
Introduction
 
The board of directors (the “ Board ”) of Titan Medical Inc. (the “ Company ”) is elected by the shareholders of the Company and is responsible for the stewardship of the Company. The purpose of this mandate is to describe the principal duties and responsibilities of the Board, as well as some of the policies and procedures that apply to the Board in discharging its duties and responsibilities.

The Chair of the Board (the “ Chair ”) will be appointed by the Board, after considering the recommendation of the Company’s Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee, for such term as the Board may determine.
 
Independence
 
The Board will be comprised of a majority of independent directors, as established by applicable laws and rule 5605 of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules and the rules of any stock exchanges upon which the Company’s securities are listed, including section 3.1 of National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines .
 
Where the Chair is not independent, the independent directors may select one of their number to be appointed lead director of the Board for such term as the independent directors may determine. The Chair or lead director, if appointed, will chair regular meetings of the independent directors and assume other responsibilities that the independent directors as a whole have designated.
 
Role and Responsibilities of the Board
 
The role of the Board is to act honestly and in good faith and act in the best interest of the Company, and each member of the Board must exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. The Board is ultimately accountable and responsible for providing independent, effective leadership in supervising the management of the business and affairs of the Company.
 
The responsibilities of the Board include:

if any Participant shall cease to hold the position or positions of director, officer, employee or Service Provider of the Corporation (as the case may be) as a result of (i) retirement at the normal retirement age prescribed by the Corporation, if any; (ii) resignation; or (iii) termination other than for cause; such Participant or such Participant’s Eligible Assignee (where the Participant has assigned the Option to such Eligible Assignee) shall have the right for a period to be determined by the Board not exceeding 90 days, or such longer period determined by the Board at its discretion in respect of a specific Option on a date after such Option is granted notwithstanding an earlier determination by the Board, from the date of the Participant ceasing to be a director, officer, employee or Service Provider to exercise his Options under this Plan with respect to all Common Shares issuable thereunder to the extent that the Options were exercisable on the date of such Participant ceasing to hold any such position with the Corporation, or until the normal expiry date of the Option, whichever is earlier. Upon the expiration of such period, all unexercised Option rights of that Participant and any Eligible Assignee thereof under this Plan shall immediately become terminated and shall lapse notwithstanding the original term of the Option granted to such Participant under this Plan.

to the extent that he was entitled to exercise the Option as at the date of his death.

15.
Adjustments
 

(a)
The number of Common Shares subject to the Plan shall be increased or decreased proportionately in the event of the subdivision or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation, and in any such event a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the number of Common Shares deliverable upon the exercise of any Option granted prior to such event without any change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option, but with a corresponding adjustment in the price for each Common Share that may be acquired upon the exercise of the Option.  In case the Corporation is reorganized or merged or consolidated or amalgamated with another corporation, appropriate provisions shall be made for the continuance of the Options outstanding under this Plan and to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the same.
 

(b)
Adjustments under this Section 15 shall be made by the Board, whose determination as to what adjustments shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive.  No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of an Option following the making of any such adjustment.
 
16.

(c)
the entering into of any agreement by the Corporation to merge, consolidate, amalgamate, initiate an arrangement or be absorbed by or into another corporation; or
 

(d)

(c)
No such amendment to the Plan shall cause the Plan to cease to be a plan described in paragraph (k) of the definition of “salary deferral arrangement” in subsection 248(1) of the Tax Act or any successor to such provision.
 
ARTICLE 8
GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
8.1
No Rights to Awards .  No Eligible Employee, Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, or, having been selected to receive an Award under this Plan, to be selected to receive a future Award, and further there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Employees, Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.
 
8.2
No Voting Rights .  Under no circumstances shall Awards of Share Units entitle any Participant to exercise voting rights or any other rights attaching to the ownership of Shares or other securities of the Corporation, nor shall any Participant be considered the owner of Shares by virtue of receiving Share Units pursuant to an Award.
 
8.3
Withholding .
 

(a)
So as to ensure that the Corporation or any Affiliate, as applicable, will be able to comply with the applicable provisions of any federal, provincial, state or other law relating to the withholding of tax or other required deductions (including on the amount, if any, includable in the income of an Eligible Employee) the Corporation or any Affiliate, as applicable, may withhold or cause to be withheld from any amount payable to an Eligible Employee under this Plan as may be necessary to permit the Corporation or any such Affiliate, as applicable, to so comply (the “Applicable Withholding Taxes ”).
 
12



(b)
It is the responsibility of the Participant to complete and file any tax returns which may be required within the periods specified in applicable laws as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Corporation shall not be held responsible for any tax consequences to a Participant as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
 

(c)
For greater certainty, unless not required under the Tax Act or any other applicable law, no Share Units will be settled until:
 

(i)
an amount sufficient to cover the Applicable Withholding Taxes payable on the settlement of Share Units has been received by the Corporation (or withheld by the Corporation from any other remuneration owed to the Participant); or
 

(ii)
the Participant undertakes to arrange for such number of Shares to be sold as is necessary to raise an amount equal to the Applicable Withholding Taxes, and to cause the proceeds from the sale of such Shares to be delivered to the Corporation.
 
8.4
No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements . Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Corporation or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
 
8.5
No Right to Employment . The grant of an Award shall be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Corporation or any Affiliate. Further, the Corporation or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.
 
8.6
Governing Law . The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein without regard to conflict of law.
 
8.7
Severability . If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or under any Applicable Law, or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to such law, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Person, or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
 
8.8
No Trust or Fund Created . Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Corporation or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Corporation or any Affiliate.
 
8.9
No Fractional Market Shares . No fractional Market Shares shall be delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award.  Any fractional Market Shares which would otherwise be delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award will be settled in cash.
 
8.10
No Representations or Covenants with Respect to Tax Qualification . Although the Corporation may endeavour to: (i) qualify an Award for favourable Canadian or foreign tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment, the Corporation makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favourable or avoid unfavourable tax treatment. The Corporation shall be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the any potential negative tax affects to holders of Awards under the Plan.
 
13


8.11
Awards to Foreign Employees . The Committee shall have the power and authority to determine which Affiliates shall be covered by this Plan and which employees who are located in a country other than Canada and the United States shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Committee may adopt, amend or rescind rules, procedures or sub-plans relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws, procedures, and practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules, procedures and sub-plans with provisions that limit or modify: (i) rights on death, disability or retirement or on termination of employment; (ii) available methods of exercise or settlement of an award; (iii) payment of income, social insurance contributions and payroll taxes; (iv) the withholding procedures and handling of any indicia of ownership which vary with national or local requirements of foreign jurisdictions. The Committee may also adopt rules, procedures or sub-plans applicable to particular Affiliates or locations.  The rules set forth in Schedule A to this Plan apply to any Participant who is a U.S. Taxpayer (as defined therein) and form a part of this Plan.
 
8.12
Compliance with Laws . The granting of Awards under the Plan shall be subject to: (i) all Applicable Laws, (ii) such approvals by all applicable Governmental Bodies, or (iii) such approvals by the TSX or any other applicable stock exchange on which the securities of the Corporation are listed, as may be required. The Corporation shall have no obligation to provide Awards of Share Units under the Plan prior to:
 

(a)
obtaining any approvals from all Governmental Bodies that the Corporation determines in its sole discretion are necessary or advisable; and
 

(b)
completion of any registration or other qualification of the Share Units (if applicable) under all Applicable Laws or all of the rulings of all applicable Governmental Bodies that the Corporation determines in its sole discretion to be necessary or advisable or at a time when any such registration or qualification is not current, has been suspended or otherwise has ceased to be effective.
 
The inability or impracticability of the Corporation to obtain or maintain authority from any Governmental Body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Corporation’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Share Units under the Plan shall relieve the Corporation of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Share Units as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
 
ARTICLE 9

SCHEDULE A
 
PLAN PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO U.S. TAXPAYERS
 
The provisions of this Schedule “A” apply to Share Units held by a U.S. Taxpayer to the extent such Share Units are subject to U.S. Taxation. The following provisions apply, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan. All capitalized terms used in this Schedule “A” and not defined herein, shall have the meaning attributed to them in the Plan.
 
Section 409A ” means Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and authority promulgated thereunder.
 
U.S. Taxpayer ” shall mean any person who is a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or other person who has been granted or is eligible to be granted a Deferred Share Unit under the Plan that is otherwise subject to U.S. taxation.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in Section 6.3 or Section 6.5 of the Plan shall result in the acceleration of payment/settlement of Awards, and Awards will be settled in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Plan on the first Business Day following the Vesting Date set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or determined by application of Sections 5.2(a) or (b) of the Plan.
 
Section 6.4 of the Plan is replaced in its entirety with the following:
 
6.4              Change of Control Termination . If the employment of a Participant with the Corporation or with an Affiliate is affected by a Change of Control Termination that occurs following a Change of Control that meets the definition of “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A, all unvested Awards shall vest immediately upon the Change of Control Termination, provided that such Change in Control Termination also constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.  In such case the Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of such Awards as though the Vesting Date is the date of such Change of Control Termination.  For the purposes of this paragraph, all Performance Criteria with respect to any Performance Share Units shall be deemed to have been met at target on the relevant Vesting Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any U.S. Taxpayer is determined to be a “specified employee” (as determined under Section 409A, in accordance with the Corporation’s policies) at the time of the Change in Control Termination, then settlement of the Award shall not occur until the earlier of the date that is six (6) months following his or her separation from service and the Vesting Date set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or determined by application of Section 5.2(a) or (b) of the Plan.  If a Change of Control Termination is not in connection with a Change of Control that meets the definition of “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A, all unvested Awards will become vested upon such Change of Control Termination in accordance with this Section 6.4, but payment/settlement will occur on the Vesting Date set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or determined by application of Sections 5.2(a) or (b), unless earlier payment/settlement is otherwise permitted under Section 409A.
 
Notwithstanding Sections 5.6 and 6.6, the exercise of the Committee’s discretion will not result in a change in the time of settlement/payment of an Award.  No provision of the Plan or amendment to the Plan may permit the acceleration or deferral of payments under the Plan to U.S. Taxpayers contrary to the provisions of Section 409A.
 
In the event of a termination of the Plan, no payments to U.S. Taxpayers shall be made, except on the schedule permitted by Section 409A.
 
All provisions of the Plan shall continue to apply to the U.S. Taxpayer to the extent they have not been specifically modified by this Schedule “A”. In regard to a U.S. Taxpayer, the Committee shall interpret all Plan provisions in a manner that does not cause a violation of Section 409A.

Grant of Deferred Share Units
 

(a)
The Committee may, from time to time in its sole discretion, grant DSUs to Eligible Directors and upon such grant, such Eligible Directors shall become Participants in this Plan. In respect of each grant of DSUs, the Committee shall determine:
 

(i)
the number of DSUs allocated to the Participant; and
 

(ii)
such other terms and conditions of the DSUs applicable to each grant.
 

(b)
The Corporation shall not make any grant of DSU’s pursuant to the Plan unless and until such grant or issuance and delivery can be completed in compliance with all applicable laws, including requirements set out in the Income Tax Regulations (Canada) for the Plan to qualify as a “prescribed plan or arrangement” for the purposes of the definition of “salary deferral arrangement” in the Income Tax Act (Canada), and all other regulations, rules, orders of governmental or regulatory authorities and the requirements of all applicable stock exchanges upon which Shares are listed. The Corporation shall be obligated to take all reasonable action to comply with any such laws, regulations, rules, orders or requirements.
 

(c)
Certificates will not be issued to evidence DSUs. Book entry accounts, to be known as the “ Deferred Share Unit Account ” shall be maintained by the Corporation for each Participant and will be credited with DSUs granted to a Participant from time to time.
 

(d)
The term during which a DSU may be outstanding shall, subject to the provisions of this Plan requiring or permitting the acceleration or the extension of the term, be such period as may be determined from time to time by the Board or the Committee, but subject to the rules of any stock exchange or other regulatory body having jurisdiction.

4.2
Vesting
 
Deferred Share Units will be fully vested upon being granted and credited to a Participant’s Account.
 
4.3
Credits for Dividends
 
A Participant’s Account shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents in the form of additional Deferred Share Units as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on the Shares. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be computed by dividing: (a) the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid per Share by the number of Deferred Share Units recorded in the Participant’s Account on the record date for the payment of such dividend, by (b) the Dividend Market Value, with fractions computed to three decimal places. The foregoing does not obligate the Corporation to declare or pay dividends on Shares and nothing in this Plan shall be interpreted as creating such an obligation.
 
4.4
Limits o n Issuances
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan:
 

(a)
the maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding DSUs at any time shall be limited to 5% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Shares, provided that the maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding DSUs and all other Security Based Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 15% of the Shares outstanding from time to time;
 

(b)
the number of Shares issuable to Insiders, at any time, under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 15% of the issued and outstanding Shares; and
 

(c)
the number of Shares issued to Insiders, within any one-year period, under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 15% of the issued and outstanding Shares.
 
For the purposes of this Section 4.4, any increase in the issued and outstanding Shares (whether as a result of the issue of Shares pursuant to DSUs or otherwise) will result in an increase in the number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to DSUs outstanding at any time. Further, if the acquisition of Shares by the Corporation for cancellation should result in the foregoing tests no longer being met, this shall not constitute non-compliance with this Section 4.4 for any awards outstanding prior to such purchase of Shares for cancellation.
 
DSUs that are cancelled, terminated or expire shall result in the Shares that were reserved for issuance thereunder being available for a subsequent grant of DSUs pursuant to this Plan to the extent of any Shares issuable thereunder that are not issued under such cancelled, terminated or expired DSUs.
 
Upon Cash Payment being made or Payment Shares being issued in settlement of DSUs, the number of Shares reserved for issuance in respect of such DSUs automatically become available to be made the subject of new DSUs, provided that the total number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and all other Security Based Compensation Arrangements does not exceed 15% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Corporation.
 
4.5
Reporting of Deferred Share Units
 
Statements of the Deferred Share Unit Accounts will be provided to Participants on an annual basis.
 
4.6
Distribution Date Election
 
A Participant shall have the right to receive Payment Shares or, upon the joint election of the Corporation and the Participant, Cash Payment or a combination of Cash Payment and Payment Shares in respect of Deferred Share Units recorded in the Participant’s Account in accordance with Sections 4.7 or 4.8, on one of the following dates (the “ Distribution Date ”):

(a)
on a date to be determined by the Corporation no later than 90 days following the Separation Date; or
 

(b)
such later date as the Participant may elect by written notice delivered to the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation prior to the Separation Date, provided that in no event shall a Participant be permitted to elect a date which is later than December 1 st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Separation Date occurs.

Distribution of Deferred Share Units as Cash Payment
 
In the event the Corporation and the Participant jointly elect to settle Deferred Share Units by way of a Cash Payment:
 

(a)
subject to and in accordance with Section 4.7(b), a Participant shall receive a payment equal in value to the number of Deferred Share Units recorded in the Participant’s Account on the Distribution Date that the Corporation and the Participant jointly elect to settle by way of payment in cash multiplied by the Distribution Value of a Share on the Distribution Date (the “ Cash Payment ”). The Corporation is authorized to deduct from the Cash Payment an amount equivalent to the minimum amount of taxes and other minimum amounts as the Corporation may be required by law to withhold, as the Corporation determines (the “ Applicable Withholding Amounts ”). Upon payment in full of the value of the Deferred Share Units, less the Applicable Withholding Amounts, the Deferred Share Units shall be cancelled, and no further payments shall be made to the Participant under the Plan; and
 

(b)
the Cash Payment less any Applicable Withholding Amounts, will be paid to the Participant in cash within ten (10) business days after the Distribution Date, or in the event of the Participant’s death, his beneficiary or legal representative in accordance with Section 4.9 herein.
 
4.8
Distribution of Deferred Share Units in Payment Shares
 
Subject to Section 4.7, Deferred Share Units shall be settled by the issuance of Payment Shares as follows:
 

(a)
The Corporation shall within 10 business days after the Distribution Date issue to the Participant a number of treasury Shares equal to the number of Deferred Share Units in the Participant’s Account that became payable on the Distribution Date (the “ Payment Shares ”).
 

(b)
Subject to Section 4.12 of this Plan, as a condition to the issue of treasury Shares in settlement of any Deferred Share Units, the Corporation may require the Participant to first pay to the Corporation, or the Corporation may deduct, an amount equivalent to the Applicable Withholding Amounts or the Corporation may take such other steps as it considers to be necessary or appropriate, including the sale of Payment Shares on behalf of the Participant, in order to provide to the Corporation the Applicable Withholding Amounts. The Corporation shall advise the Participant in writing of any Applicable Withholding Amounts required in connection with the issue of Shares in settlement of Deferred Share Units.
 

(c)
The Corporation shall not be required to issue or cause to be delivered treasury Shares or issue or cause to be delivered certificates evidencing Shares to be delivered in settlement of any DSUs, unless and until such issuance and delivery can be completed in compliance with the applicable laws, regulations, rules, orders of governmental or regulatory authorities and the requirements of all applicable stock exchanges upon which Shares are listed. The Corporation shall be obligated to take all reasonable action, on a timely basis, to comply with any such laws, regulations, rules, orders, or requirements.
 

(d)
If Shares may not be issued pursuant to any DSUs due to any Black Out Period, such Share issuance shall occur seven business days following the end of the Black-Out Period (or such longer period as permitted by applicable regulatory authorities and approved by the Committee).
 
7



(e)
No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the settlement of DSUs. If a Participant would otherwise become entitled to a fractional Share upon the settlement of a DSU, such Participant shall only have the right to receive the next lowest whole number of Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional interest so disregarded.
 

(f)
All Payment Shares issued to Persons in the United States pursuant to the Plan will be issued pursuant to the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from such registration requirements.
 
4.9
Death of Participant Prior to Distribution
 
Upon the death of a Participant prior to the distribution of the Deferred Share Units credited to the Account of such Participant under the Plan, Payment Shares or, upon the joint election of the Corporation and the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate, Cash Payment or a combination of Cash Payment and Payment Shares shall be issued or paid to the estate of such Participant on or about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Corporation is notified of the death of the Participant or on a later date elected by the Participant’s estate in the form prescribed for such purposes by the Corporation and delivered to the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation not later than twenty (20) days after the Corporation is notified of the death of the Participant, provided that such elected date is no later than the last business day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant dies so that payment can be made on or before such last business day. Any Cash Payment shall be equivalent to the amount which would have been paid to the Participant pursuant to and subject to Section 4.7, calculated on the basis that the day on which the Participant dies, or the date elected by the estate, as applicable, is the Distribution Date. Upon settlement under this Section 4.9 of the Deferred Share Units credited to the Account of a Participant, subject to any Applicable Withholding Amounts, the Deferred Share Units shall be cancelled, and no further distributions or payments will be made from the Plan in relation to the Participant.
 
4.10
Adjustments to Deferred Share Units
 
In the event: (a) of any change in the Shares through subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, merger or otherwise; or (b) that any rights are granted to all or substantially all shareholders to purchase Shares at prices substantially below Fair Market Value as of the date of grant (other than the payment of dividends in respect of the Shares as contemplated by Section 4.3); or (c) that, as a result of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other transaction, the Shares are converted into or exchangeable for any other securities or property, then the Board may make such adjustments to this Plan, the Account of each Participant, the DSU Agreements and the Deferred Share Units outstanding under this Plan as the Board may, in its sole discretion, consider appropriate in the circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to Participants hereunder and\or to provide for the Participants to receive and accept such other securities or property in lieu of Shares, and the Participants shall be bound by any such determination.

The Corporation will provide each Participant who is resident in Canada with (or cause each Participant to be provided with) a T4 slip or such information return as may be required by applicable law to report income, if any, arising upon the grant or exercise of rights under this Plan by a Participant who is resident in Canada for income tax purposes.
 

(b)
Further to Section 4.8(b) of this Plan, the Corporation shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require (as a condition of exercise) a Participant to remit to the Corporation, the Applicable Withholding Amounts to satisfy, in whole or in part, federal, provincial, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan, including the grant or exercise of Deferred Share Units granted under this Plan. With respect to Applicable Withholding Amounts, the Corporation shall have the irrevocable right to (and the Participant consents to the Corporation) setting off any amounts required to be withheld, in whole or in part, against amounts otherwise owing by the Corporation to such Participant (whether arising pursuant to the Participant relationship as an officer or employee of the Corporation or as a result of the Participant providing services on an ongoing basis to the Corporation or otherwise), or may make such other arrangements as are satisfactory to the Participant and the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation may elect, in its sole discretion, to satisfy the Applicable Withholding Amounts, in whole or in part, by withholding such number of Payment Shares as it determines are required to be sold by the Corporation, as trustee, to satisfy the Applicable Withholding Amounts net of selling costs (which costs shall be the responsibility of the Participant and which shall be and are authorized to be deducted from the proceeds of sale). The Participant consents to such sale and grants to the Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to effect the sale of such Payment Shares and acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation does not accept responsibility for the price obtained on the sale of such Payment Shares. Any reference in this Plan to the issuance of Payment Shares or a payment of cash is expressly subject to this paragraph 4.12(b).

ARTICLE 5                            GENERAL
 
5.1
Amendment, Suspension, or Termination of Plan
 

(a)
The Board may amend, suspend or discontinue this Plan or amend any DSU or DSU Agreement at any time without the consent of a Participant, provided that such amendment shall not adversely alter or impair the rights of any Participant in respect of any DSU previously granted to such Participant under the Plan, except as otherwise permitted hereunder. In addition, the Board may, by resolution, amend this Plan and any DSU granted under it (together with any related DSU Agreement) without shareholder approval, provided however, that at any time while the Shares are listed for trading on the TSX, the Board will not be entitled to amend this Plan or any DSU granted under it (together with any related DSU Agreement) without shareholder and, if applicable, TSX approval: (i) to increase the maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to this Plan; (ii) to permit the assignment or transfer of a DSU other than as provided for in this Plan; (iii) to add to the categories of persons eligible to participate in this Plan; (iv) to remove or amend Section 4.4(b) or Section 4.4(c); (v) to remove or amend this Section 5.1(a); or (vi) in any other circumstances where TSX and shareholder approval is required by the TSX.
 

(b)
Without limitation of Section 5.1(a), the Board may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan in the manner and to the extent deemed necessary or desirable, may establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to this Plan, and may make such determinations as it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of this Plan.
 

(c)
If the Board terminates or suspends the Plan, previously credited DSUs will remain outstanding and in effect in accordance with the terms of the Plan. If DSUs remain outstanding after Plan termination or suspension, such DSUs shall not be entitled to Dividend Equivalents unless at the time of termination or suspension the Committee determines that the entitlement to Dividend Equivalents after termination or during suspension, as applicable, should be continued. Subject to the foregoing sentence, if the Board terminates or suspends the Plan, no new Deferred Share Units will be credited to the Account of a Participant.
 

(d)
The Board shall not require the consent of any affected Participant in connection with a termination of the Plan in which Payment Shares are issued to the Participant in respect of all such Deferred Share Units.

5.2
Compliance with Laws
 
The administration of the Plan shall be subject to and made in conformity with all applicable laws and any applicable regulations of a duly constituted regulatory authority. Should the Committee, in its sole discretion, determine that it is not feasible or desirable to carry out a distribution of Deferred Share Units due to such laws or regulations, its obligation shall be satisfied by means of an equivalent cash payment (equivalence being determined on a before-tax basis). If the Committee determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to this Plan upon any securities exchange or under any provincial, state, federal or other applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body or stock exchange is necessary or desirable, as a condition of, or in connection with, the crediting of DSUs or the issue of Payment Shares hereunder, the Corporation shall be under no obligation to credit DSUs or issue Payment Shares hereunder unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.
 
5.3
Reorganization of the Corporation
 
The existence of any Deferred Share Units 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 to create or issue any bonds, debentures, shares or other securities of the Corporation or to amend or modify the rights and conditions attaching thereto or to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any amalgamation, combination, merger or consolidation involving 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.
 
5.4
Assignment
 
Rights and obligations under the Plan may be assigned by the Corporation to a successor in the business of the Corporation, any company resulting from any amalgamation, reorganization, combination, merger or arrangement of the Corporation, or any company acquiring all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Corporation.
 
5.5
DSUs Non-Transferable
 
Except as required by law, the rights of a Participant hereunder are not capable of being assigned, transferred, alienated, sold, encumbered, pledged, mortgaged or charged and are not capable of being subject to attachment or legal process for the payment of any debts or obligations of the Participant.
 
5.6
Participation is Voluntary; No Additional Rights
 
The participation of any Participant in the Plan is entirely voluntary and not obligatory and shall not be interpreted as conferring upon such Participant any rights or privileges other than those rights and privileges expressly provided in the Plan. In particular, participation in the Plan does not constitute a condition of employment or service nor a commitment on the part of the Corporation to ensure the continued employment or service of such Participant. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to provide the Participant with any rights whatsoever to participate or continue participation in this Plan or to compensation or damages in lieu of participation, whether upon termination of service as an Eligible Director or otherwise. The Corporation does not assume responsibility for the personal income or other tax consequences for the Participants and they are advised to consult with their own tax advisors.
 
5.7
No Shareholder Rights
 
Under no circumstances shall Deferred Share Units be considered Shares or other securities of the Corporation, nor shall they entitle any Participant to exercise voting rights or any other rights attaching to the ownership of Shares or other securities of the Corporation, nor shall any Participant be considered the owner of Shares by virtue of the award of Deferred Share Units.
 
10

5.8
Unfunded and Unsecured Plan
 
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Plan shall be unfunded and the Corporation will not secure its obligations under the Plan. To the extent any Participant or his or her estate holds any rights by virtue of a grant of Deferred Share Units under the Plan, such rights (unless otherwise determined by the Board) shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Corporation.
 
5.9
Market Fluctuations
 
No amount will be paid to, or in respect of, a Participant under the Plan to compensate for a downward fluctuation in the price of Shares, nor will any other form of benefit be conferred upon, or in respect of, a Participant for such purpose. The Corporation makes no representations or warranties to Participants with respect to the Plan or the Shares whatsoever. In seeking the benefits of participation a Participant agrees to accept all risks associated with a decline in the market price of Shares.
 
5.10
Participant Information
 
Each Participant shall provide the Corporation with all information (including personal information) required by the Corporation in order to administer the Plan. Each Participant acknowledges that information required by the Corporation in order to administer the Plan may be disclosed to the Board and other third parties in connection with the administration of the Plan. Each Participant consents to such disclosure and authorizes the Corporation to make such disclosure on the Participant’s behalf.
 
5.11
DSU Agreement
 
To acquire DSUs, a Participant shall enter into an agreement with the Corporation in such form as determined by the Board from time to time (the “ DSU Agreement ”), within such time period and in such manner as specified by the Board. If a DSU Agreement is not entered into within the time and manner specified, the Corporation reserves the right to revoke the crediting of DSUs to the Participant’s Account.
 
5.12

All amounts paid or values to be determined under this Plan shall be in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise.
 
5.13

5.14
Governing Law

SCHEDULE A
 
PLAN PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO U.S. TAXPAYERS
 
The provisions of this Schedule “A” apply to Deferred Share Units held by a U.S. Taxpayer to the extent such Deferred Share Units are subject to U.S. Taxation. The following provisions apply, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan. All capitalized terms used in this Schedule “A” and not defined herein, shall have the meaning attributed to them in the Plan.
 
Section 409A ” means Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and authority promulgated thereunder.
 
Separation Date ” shall mean the date on which the Participant incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.
 
U.S. Taxpayer ” shall mean any person who is a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or other person who has been granted or is eligible to be granted a Deferred Share Unit under the Plan that is otherwise subject to U.S. taxation.
 
1.
Notwithstanding Section 3.4 of the Plan, each election by a U.S. Taxpayer not to participate in the Plan or to decline participation for a particular year, must be irrevocably made not later than the end of the calendar year prior to the year for which the Deferred Share Units are granted. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, for U.S. Taxpayers who become Eligible Directors for the first time in any calendar year, an election pursuant to Section 3.4 may be made at any time within 30 days after an initial grant of DSUs is made to such Eligible Director. Such election shall only be effective with respect to DSU grants made after the written notice described in Section 3.4 has been received by the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation.
 
2.
Notwithstanding Section 4.6 of the Plan, the following procedure shall be used to determine a Distribution Date for Deferred Share Units that are subject to this Schedule A.
 

(a)
An Eligible Director who is a U.S. Taxpayer shall have the right to elect, at his or her option, to receive the distribution of all amounts credited to his or her Deferred Share Unit Account on any date (the “ Distribution Date ”) within the period commencing on his or her Separation Date, and ending on December 1, of the first calendar year following the year in which the Separation Date occurs. Such election shall be made by written notice delivered to the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation not later than the end of the calendar year prior to the year for which the Deferred Share Units are granted. If no election is made, the Distribution Date shall be the Separation Date, subject to clause (b) below.
 

(b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any U.S. Taxpayer is determined to be a “specified employee” (as determined under Section 409A, in accordance with the Corporation’s policies) at the Separation Date, then the Distribution Date shall not be earlier than the date that is six (6) months following his or her Separation Date.
 
3.
Notwithstanding Section 4.8(d) of the Plan (and except as required pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Schedule A), the issuance of Shares shall not be delayed beyond the end of the year in which the Distribution Date occurs, or, if later, the date that is 2 ½ months after the Distribution Date, unless the Committee reasonably anticipates that the issuance of Shares would violate federal securities laws of other applicable laws, in which case Shares will be issued at the earliest date at which the Committee reasonably anticipates that issuance of Shares would not cause such violation.
 
4.
Notwithstanding Section 4.9 of the Plan or any election by the Participant of a Distribution Date, upon the death of a Participant prior to the distribution of his or her Deferred Share Unit Account, an issuance of Payment Shares or, upon the joint election of the Corporation and the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate, a Cash Payment or a combination of Cash Payment and Payment Shares shall be issued or paid to the estate of such Participant on the first business day that occurs following 90 days after the Participant’s date of death and such date will be the Distribution Date. No election of an alternative payment date by the estate or beneficiary shall be permitted.
 


5.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no consent to an amendment, suspension or termination that adversely affects the Deferred Share Units previously granted to a U.S. Taxpayer under Section 409A shall be required if such amendments are considered by the Committee, on the advice of counsel, to be necessary or desirable in order to avoid adverse U.S. tax consequences to the U.S. Taxpayer.
 
No provision of the Plan or amendment to the Plan may permit the acceleration of payments under the Plan to U.S. Taxpayers contrary to the provisions of Section 409A.
 
In the event of a termination of the Plan, no payments to U.S. Taxpayers shall be made, except on the schedule permitted by Section 409A.
 
All provisions of the Plan shall continue to apply to the U.S. Taxpayer to the extent they have not been specifically modified by this Schedule “A”. In regard to a U.S. Taxpayer, the Committee shall interpret all Plan provisions in a manner that does not cause a violation of Section 409A.
 
6.
Restrictions on Deferred Share Units of Certain Dual Taxpayers.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the Deferred Share Units of a U.S. Taxpayer are subject to tax under both the income tax laws of Canada and the income tax laws of the United States, the following special rules regarding forfeiture will apply. For greater clarity, these forfeiture provisions are intended to avoid adverse tax consequences under Section 409A and/or under paragraph 6801(d) of the regulations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”), that may result because of the different requirements as to the time of redemption of Deferred Share Units (and thus the time of taxation) with respect to a U.S. Taxpayer’s “Separation from Service” under Section 409A and the U.S. Taxpayer’s Separation Date (under Canadian tax law). The intended consequence of this Section 6 of this Schedule A is that payments to such U.S. Taxpayer in respect of Deferred Share Units will only occur if such U.S. Taxpayer experiences both a Separation from Service under Code Section 409A and a termination or loss of office within the meaning of paragraph 6801(d) of the regulations under the ITA.  If such a U.S. Taxpayer does not experience both a Separation from Service and a termination or loss of office within the meaning of paragraph 6801(d) of the ITA, such Deferred Share Units shall instead be immediately and irrevocably forfeited, including, but not limited to, the following situations:
 

(a)
a U.S. Taxpayer experiences a Separation from Service as a result of ceasing to be a member of the Board of the Corporation (and any related entity that is considered the same service recipient under Code Section 409A), but such U.S. Taxpayer continues providing services as an employee of the Corporation or a corporation related to the Corporation within the meaning of the ITA such that no Separation Date has occurred; and
 

(b)
an Eligible Director who is a U.S. Taxpayer experiences a termination or loss of office for any reason such that a Separation Date occurs, but continues to provide services to the Corporation (or any related entity that is considered the same service recipient under Code Section 409A) as an independent contractor such that he has not experienced a Separation from Service.
