This ESCROW AGREEMENT (as the same may be amended or modified from time to time pursuant hereto, this “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into as of December 1, 2014, by and between Sphere 3D Corporation, an Ontario corporation (“ Sphere ”), and Continental Stock Transfer and Trust (the “ Escrow Agent ”).

WHEREAS, Sphere previously entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 15, 2014, as amended on October 13, 2014 (the “ Underlying Agreement ”), with Overland Storage, Inc. (“ Overland ”), pursuant to which S3D Acquisition Company (“ Merger Sub ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary shall merge with and into Overland and Overland shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sphere (the “ Merger ”);

WHEREAS , pursuant to the Underlying Agreement, at the closing of the Merger, each then outstanding restricted stock unit issued by Overland (each, an “ Overland RSU ”) was assumed by Sphere and converted into the right to receive a number of Sphere common shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of the number of shares of Overland common stock subject to such Overland RSU immediately prior to the closing of the Merger multiplied by the 0.46385;

WHEREAS , in order to satisfy its obligations to issue shares in payment of each assumed Overland RSU in accordance with the provisions of the applicable award agreement that evidences such Overland RSU (each, an “ Overland RSU Agreement ”) and the Underlying Agreement, Sphere desires to deposit in escrow certain common shares of Sphere, with such deposit to be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Appointment; Defined Terms.

(a) Sphere hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as its escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Underlying Agreement for reference only by Sphere. All capitalized terms with respect to the Escrow Agent shall be defined herein. The provisions of the Underlying Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference, but only as the context of this Agreement may require for obligations of Sphere. The Escrow Agent shall act only in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and shall have no duties or obligations with respect to the Underlying Agreement.

2. Escrow Asset.

(a) Sphere agrees to deposit with the Escrow Agent 673,612 common shares of Sphere (the “ Escrow Shares ” or the “ Escrow Asset ”) on the date hereof. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Shares as a book-entry position registered in the name of Continental Stock Transfer and Trust as Escrow Agent for the benefit of Sphere and to facilitate the payments to be made by Sphere to the holders of the Overland RSUs in accordance with its obligations under the Underlying Agreement and the Overland RSU Agreements.

(b) Escrow Shares.

(i) During the term of this Agreement, Sphere shall not have the right to exercise any voting rights with respect to any of the Escrow Shares. With respect to any matter for which the Escorw Shares are permitted to vote, the Escrow Agent shall vote, or cause to be voted, the Escrow Shares in the same proportion that the number of common shares of Sphere owned by all other shareholders of Sphere are voted. In the absence of notice from Sphere as to the proportion that the number of common shares of Sphere owned by all other shareholders of Sphere are voted, the Escrow Agent shall not vote any of the shares comprising the Escrow Shares.

1

(ii) Any dividends paid with respect to the Escrow Asset shall be deemed part of the Escrow Asset and be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held in a bank account and be deposited in one or more interest-bearing accounts to be maintained by the Escrow Agent in the name of the Escrow Agent at one or more of the banks listed in Schedule 3 to this Agreement, each of which shall be a commercial bank with capital exceeding $500,000,000 (each such bank an “ Approved Bank ”). The deposit of dividends in any of the Approved Banks shall be deemed to be at the direction of Sphere. At any time and from time to time, Sphere may direct Escrow Agent by joint written notice (i) to deposit the dividends with a specific Approved Bank, (ii) not to deposit any new dividend amount in any Approved Bank specified in the notice and/or (iii) to withdraw all or any of the dividends that may then be deposited with any Approved Bank specified in the notice. With respect to any withdrawal notice, the Escrow Agent will endeavor to withdraw such amount specified in the notice as soon as reasonably practicable and Sphere acknowledges and agrees that such specified amount remains at the sole risk of Sphere prior to and after such withdrawal. Such withdrawn amounts shall be deposited with any other Approved Bank or any Approved Bank specified by Sphere in the notice.

(iii) In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of the common stock of Sphere, other than a regular cash dividend, the Escrow Asset under Section 2(a) above shall be appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis and consistent with the terms of the Overland RSU Agreements.

(c) Any rights created under the Overland RSU Agreements and this Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of the holders of the Overland RSUs against Sphere. The Escrow Asset will be subject to the claims of Sphere’s general creditors under U.S. federal and state law and other applicable law in the event of Sphere’s insolvency.

3. Disposition and Termination.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall administer the Escrow Shares in accordance with written instructions provided by Sphere to the Escrow Agent from time to time (an “ Instruction ”) directing the Escrow Agent to pay or release the Escrow Shares, or any portion thereof, as set forth in such Instruction. Each Instruction shall indicate, as to each Overland RSU subject to such Instruction, either that (i) the Escrow Shares that relate to such Overland RSU are to be delivered to the holder of such RSU (subject to applicable tax withholding as provided in Section 3(c)) or (ii) the Escrow Shares that relate to such Overland RSU will not vest and are to be delivered back to Sphere. The Escrow Agent shall make distributions of the Escrow Shares only in accordance with an Instruction.

(b) Upon the delivery of all of the Escrow Shares by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including this Section 3 ), this Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 7 .

(c) Sphere shall make provision in accordance with the applicable Overland RSU Agreement for the reporting and withholding of any applicable taxes that may be required to be withheld by Sphere with respect to each payment of Escrow Shares hereunder and shall pay any amounts so withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities. In the event Sphere determines that tax withholding as to a particular Overland RSU will be satisfied by a reduction in the number of Escrow Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to the holder of the Overland RSU in the circumstances, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Sphere the number of Escrow Shares determined by Sphere to be required to satisfy such tax withholding obligations and shall deliver the balance of such Escrow Shares to the holder of such Overland RSU.

4. Escrow Agent .

(a) The Escrow Agent shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly provided herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between Sphere and any other person or entity, in connection herewith, if any, including without limitation the Underlying Agreement or any Overland RSU Agreement assumed by Sphere pursuant to the Underlying Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to determine if any person or entity has complied with any such agreements, nor shall any additional obligations of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of such agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement, those of the Underlying Agreement, any

2

schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement, or any other agreement between Sphere and any other person or entity, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the Sphere without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to Sphere, any beneficiary or other person for refraining from acting upon any instruction setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Asset, or any portion thereof, unless such instruction shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 10 below and the Escrow Agent has been able to satisfy any applicable security procedures as may be required hereunder and as set forth in Section 10 . The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Asset nor shall the Escrow Agent have any duty or obligation to confirm or verify the accuracy or correctness of any amounts deposited with it hereunder.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to either Sphere or the beneficiary. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through affiliates or agents. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to either Sphere or the beneficiary. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from Sphere hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be given a direction in writing which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of the Escrow Agent or by a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Sphere agrees to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the Escrow Agent a party to the same.

5. Succession.

(a) The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) days’ advance notice in writing of such resignation to Sphere specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect, provided that such resignation shall not take effect until a successor escrow agent has been appointed in accordance with this Section 5 . If Sphere has failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires shall be to hold the Escrow Asset (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same to a designated substitute escrow agent, if any, or in accordance with the directions of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, at which time of delivery the Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 7 below. In accordance with Section 7 below, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold, as security, an amount of shares equal to any dollar amount due and owing to the Escrow Agent, plus any costs and expenses the Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the termination of this Agreement.

6. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services under this Agreement as Escrow Agent and for reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, in the amounts and payable as set forth on Schedule 2 . All amounts owing under the foregoing sentence shall be paid by Sphere. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled to payment of any amounts to which the Escrow Agent is entitled under the indemnification provisions contained herein as set forth in Section 7 ; provided, however, that such

3

compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances shall not be paid from the Escrow Asset. The obligations of Sphere set forth in this Section 6 shall survive the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.

7. Indemnity.

(a) Patriot Act Disclosure. Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“ USA PATRIOT Act ”) requires the Escrow Agent to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, Sphere acknowledges that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Escrow Agent’s identity verification procedures require the Escrow Agent to obtain information which may be used to confirm Sphere’s identity including without limitation name, address and organizational documents (“ identifying information ”). Sphere agrees to provide the Escrow Agent with and consent to the Escrow Agent obtaining from third parties any such identifying information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by the Escrow Agent.

(b) Certification and Tax Reporting. Sphere has provided the Escrow Agent with a fully executed Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) Form W-8, or W-9 and/or other required documentation. Sphere agrees that Sphere shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Asset for all tax purposes and shall not take a position inconsistent with such treatment except as otherwise required by law. Accordingly, all interest or other income earned under this Agreement shall be allocated to Sphere and reported, as and to the extent required by law, by the Escrow Agent to the IRS, or any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned from the Escrow Asset by Sphere whether or not said income has been distributed during such year. Subject to Section 3(c), the Escrow Agent shall withhold from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement any taxes it deems appropriate in the absence of proper tax documentation or as required by law, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. Sphere hereby represents and warrants to the Escrow Agent that (i) there is no sale or transfer of a United States Real Property Interest as defined under IRC Section 897(c) in the underlying transaction giving rise to this

4

Agreement; and (ii) such underlying transaction does not constitute an installment sale requiring any tax reporting or withholding of imputed interest or original issue discount to the IRS or other taxing authority.

9. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and except for communications from Sphere setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or in any way related to the full or partial transfer or distribution of the Escrow Asset, including but not limited to transfer instructions (all of which shall be specifically governed by Section 10 below), all notices and communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given and made if in writing and if (i) served by personal delivery upon the party for whom it is intended, (ii) delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by Federal Express or similar overnight courier, or (iii) sent by facsimile or email, provided that the receipt of such facsimile or email is promptly confirmed, by telephone, electronically or otherwise, to the party at the address set forth below, or such other address as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by such party:

(a) In the event transfer instructions are so received by the Escrow Agent by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including e-mail), the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule 1 hereto, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated.

Such Senior Officer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed

5

incumbency certificate, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer.

(b) Sphere acknowledges that the Escrow Agent is authorized to deliver the Escrow Asset to the custodian account or recipient designated by Sphere in writing.

11. Compliance with Court Orders. In the event that any escrow property shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the property deposited under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to obey and comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, which it is advised by opinion of legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction, and in the event that the Escrow Agent reasonably obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, entity, firm or corporation, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding such writ, order or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

12. Miscellaneous. Except for changes to transfer instructions as provided in Section 10 , the provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by a writing signed by the Escrow Agent and Sphere. Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part by the Escrow Agent or Sphere, except as provided in Section 5 , without the prior consent of the Escrow Agent and Sphere. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of Sphere and the Escrow Agent irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York or United States federal court, in each case, sitting in New York County, New York.

The parties further hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Agreement.

All signatures of the parties to this Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including e-mail), and such facsimile or other electronic transmission (including e-mail) will, for all purposes, be deemed to be the original signature of such party whose signature it reproduces, and will be binding upon such party. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable by reason of any applicable law of a jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction. A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right to enforce any term of this Agreement. The parties represent, warrant and covenant that each document, notice, instruction or request provided by such party to the other party shall comply with applicable laws and regulations. Where, however, the conflicting provisions of any such applicable law may be waived, they are hereby irrevocably waived by the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the end that this Agreement shall be enforced as written. Except as expressly provided in Section 7 above, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than the Escrow Agent and Sphere any legal or equitable right, remedy, interest or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or the Escrow Asset escrowed hereunder.

Exhibit 99.3

SPHERE 3D CORP.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS POLICY

Introduction

The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Policy (the “Code”) has been approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sphere 3D Corp. (the “Company” or “Sphere 3D”) to govern the business-related conduct of all employees, officers, directors, agents and contractors of Sphere 3D (the “Sphere 3D Representatives”) to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct in corporate affairs. This Code is intended to comply with Canadian and United States securities law and stock exchange requirements. Specifically, the purpose of this Code is to encourage among Sphere 3D Representatives a culture of honesty, accountability and mutual respect; to provide guidance to help Sphere 3D Representatives recognize ethical issues; and to provide mechanisms to support the resolution of ethical issues.

Responsibilities to Employees

Sphere 3D recognizes that its employees are Sphere 3D’s most valuable resource and that they provide Sphere 3D with its competitive edge needed to compete in today’s marketplace. Sphere 3D is committed to the development of human resources policies and practices which, while meeting the needs of the business, will attract and retain employees of the highest caliber.

Sphere 3D adheres to the policy of equal employment opportunity, and will employ people on the basis of their ability to do the work without regard to race, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, handicap or any other basis for discrimination.

It is Sphere 3D’s policy that relatives (i.e. defined for purposes of this section to include spouses, common law spouses, parents, children, brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, parents-in-law, stepparents, stepsiblings, and stepchildren) of Sphere 3D Representatives may be hired only if they will not be working directly for or supervising a relative or will not occupy a position in the same department within the organization. If already employed, a Sphere 3D Representative cannot be transferred into a position where such individual would be reporting to a relative.

Sphere 3D is committed to provide a safe and healthy work environment for all Sphere 3D Representatives and to develop programs that promote and safeguard employee well-being.

Sphere 3D provides competitive compensation and benefit programs in relation to individual job responsibilities and performance based on Sphere 3D’s ability to pay and on the prevailing standards in the communities where Sphere 3D is located.

Wherever possible, Sphere 3D promotes employees from within, and will continue to provide opportunities for self-improvement and individual growth.

Subject to any applicable legal requirements, Sphere 3D protects the confidentiality of all employee records.

Sphere 3D seeks every occasion to communicate timely information to all Sphere 3D Representatives about Sphere 3D policies, plans and the status of issues which directly affect Sphere 3D Representatives.

Responsibilities to Customers

Sphere 3D will continue its successful business operations by striving to provide products and services that satisfy the needs and exceed the expectations of our customers.

This not only reflects customers’ expectations, but goes further to ensure that we strive to be leaders in our field. To fulfill this policy, not only must our products and services be of the highest quality, but we must also maintain the highest standard of integrity and honesty in our relations with customers.

Responsibilities to Shareholders

Shareholders are the owners of the business and expect a fair return on their investment related to their financial risk. Sphere 3D believes that it is the responsibility and objective of all Sphere 3D Representatives to work towards the achievement of profit and a fair return on the invested dollars of its shareholders. Sphere 3D is and will remain politically neutral in all jurisdictions. Sphere 3D funds will not be used for political contributions.

Sphere 3D willingly complies with all requirements for the provision of information to shareholders and the appropriate financial regulatory bodies. However, Sphere 3D recognizes that shareholders and prospective shareholders also depend on the financial community (financial analysts, investment managers, the financial media) and others for an ongoing and independent assessment of the financial prospects and activities of Sphere 3D.

Sphere 3D commits to provide information to the international financial community on corporate matters of significance in which both they and the shareholders may have a common interest. Such information will be provided in compliance with all regulatory requirements and the Corporation’s Disclosure, Confidentiality and Insider Trading Policy.

Sphere 3D commits to provide a timely response to all reasonable and responsible requests for information from shareholders and the financial community. Such information will be provided in compliance with all regulatory requirements and the Corporation’s Disclosure, Confidentiality and Insider Trading Policy.

Business Practices with Suppliers

Sphere 3D’s objective is to maintain open and frank business dealings with its suppliers and to strive to develop mutually advantageous relationships.

Our selection of suppliers is based on quality, price and service offered by the prospective supplier. Sphere 3D gives due consideration to multiple sources of supply to assure continuity of deliveries. Supplies may also be purchased from customers of Sphere 3D when a combination of quality, price and service make them advantageous over those of other suppliers.

Employees who are materially involved in the purchase and/or lease of supplies and services will conduct all business with suppliers under the strictest interpretation of the guidelines for “Conflict of Interest”.

Business Practices with Competitors

Sphere 3D supports the concept of fair competition and willingly complies with the competition and anti-trust laws of the countries in which it does business. Sphere 3D and any Sphere 3D Representative refuse to participate in or to be associated with agreements or understandings with competitors to limit or restrict competition with respect to such matters as price, terms or conditions of sale, resale price schemes, tied sales, or any other restrictive agreements, practices or activities designed to discredit competitors and their products or to obtain improperly their confidential information and/or trade secrets.

Business Practices - Financial Reporting

To make significant decisions, shareholders and management rely upon the financial statements of Sphere 3D. Sphere 3D has an obligation in compliance with applicable laws to make full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in its financial records and statements, in reports and documents that it files with or submits to securities regulatory authorities and in its other public communications.

Sphere 3D maintains a system of internal controls to ensure that financial statements fairly present both the results of operations and the financial position of Sphere 3D in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles consistently applied from one accounting period to the next.

Accounting records are prepared on a timely basis to comply with regulatory and statutory requirements. All Sphere 3D Representatives in accounting and financial positions have an obligation to ensure that:

Conflict of Interest

It is essential that Sphere 3D conducts its affairs ethically and unquestionably within the spirit of the law as to be beyond reproach. Sphere 3D Representatives are required to be entirely free from the influence of any conflict of interest when fulfilling their responsibilities to Sphere 3D.

An actual or potential conflict of interest occurs when a Sphere 3D Representative is in a position to influence a decision that may result in a personal gain for that Sphere 3D Representative or for a relative (i.e. defined for purposes of this section as a person who is related by blood or marriage, or whose relationship with the Sphere 3D Representative is similar to that of persons who are related by blood or marriage) as a result of this organization’s business dealings.

No “presumption of guilt” is created by the mere existence of a relationship with outside firms. However, if a Sphere 3D Representative has any influence on transactions involving purchases, contracts, or leases, it is imperative that he or she disclose to senior management as well as the Compliance Officer (as defined below) as soon as possible the existence of any actual or potential conflict of interest so that safeguards can be established to protect all parties.

The following policies shall be observed by all Sphere 3D Representatives:

Compliance with Laws

Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation of this Code. Our success depends upon each employee operating within legal guidelines and cooperating with local, national and international authorities. It is therefore essential that each Sphere 3D employee understands the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to his or her area of responsibility. Each Sphere 3D Employee is responsible for being aware of the laws, rules and regulations affecting his or her job and conducting himself or herself in accordance with those laws, rules and regulations, and every supervisor and manager is responsible for communicating those standards to the employees he or she supervises. If employees have a question in the area of legal compliance, it is important that employees discuss their questions with management or contact Sphere 3D’s Compliance Officer.

Administration

The Board is ultimately responsible for implementation and administration of this Code. The Board has designated a Compliance Officer for the day-to-day implementation and administration of this Code. The Board’s current designations, together with contact information, are set out in Schedule A to this Code.

While this Code is designed to provide helpful guidelines, it is not intended to address every situation. Dishonest or unethical conduct or conduct that is illegal will constitute a violation of this Code, regardless of whether such conduct is specifically referenced in this Code.

It is not intended that there be any waivers granted under the Code. In the unlikely event that a waiver is considered and granted, it must receive prior approval by the Nominating and Governance Committee ¹ if it includes a director or an executive officer, or by the CEO in the case of any other Sphere 3D Representative. In such circumstances, any waivers or amendments will be disclosed promptly in accordance with applicable securities laws.

If laws or other policies and codes of conduct differ from this Code, or if there is a question as to whether this Code applies to a particular situation, Sphere 3D Representatives should check with the Compliance Officer before acting. If there are any questions about any situation, Sphere 3D Representatives should ask the Compliance Officer how to handle the situation. However, every supervisor and manager is responsible for helping employees to understand and comply with the Code.

Sphere 3D will take such disciplinary or preventive action as it deems appropriate to address any existing or potential violation of this Code brought to its attention.

Reporting of Violations Procedure

Notification of Complaint

Sphere 3D Representatives who observe, learn of, or, in good faith, suspect a violation of this Code must immediately report the violation to the Compliance Officer or the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee if the violation may involve the Compliance Officer. Sphere 3D Representatives who report violations or suspected violations in good faith will not be subject to retaliation of any kind. Reported violations will be investigated and addressed promptly and will be treated confidentially to the extent possible. A violation of this Code may result in disciplinary action, which may include termination of a Sphere 3D Representative’s relationship with Sphere 3D. Whenever practical, the complaint should be made in writing.

Investigation

Reports of violations will be investigated under the supervision of the Compliance Officer or, in the case of a violation involving a director or an executive officer, under the supervision of the Nominating and Governance Committee. Relevant corporate records will be reviewed and pertinent Sphere 3D Representatives and others may be interviewed in order to determine the existence and extent of any violation. Sphere 3D Representatives are expected to cooperate in the investigation of reported violations. The Compliance Officer shall report on the fact of the commencement of an investigation and the conclusions of the investigation to the CEO and, if warranted in the circumstances, the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

Confidentiality

Except as may be required by law or the requirements of the resulting investigation, the Compliance Officer and others conducting the investigation shall not disclose the identity of anyone who reports a suspected violation if anonymity is requested. Except as may be required by law or the requirements of the resulting investigation, all reports of violations and related consultations will be kept confidential to the extent possible under the circumstances.

Protection Against Retaliation

Retaliation in any form against an individual who reports an alleged violation of this Code, even if the report is mistaken (except where the individual knowingly files an improper report), may itself be a violation of law and is a serious violation of this Code. Any alleged act of retaliation must be reported immediately to the Compliance Officer. If determined to have in fact occurred, any act of retaliation will result in appropriate disciplinary action, which may include termination of the Sphere 3D Representative.

Compliance

Adherence to Code; Disciplinary Action

All Sphere 3D Representatives have a responsibility to understand and follow this Code. In addition, all Sphere 3D Representatives are expected to perform their work with honesty and integrity in all areas not specifically addressed in this Policy. Sphere 3D will discipline any Sphere 3D Representative who violates this Code or related practices. Such discipline

may include, among other things, written notice to the Sphere 3D Representative that Sphere 3D has determined that there has been a violation, censure by Sphere 3D, demotion or re-assignment, suspension with or without pay or benefits, or termination of the Sphere 3D Representative’s relationship with Sphere 3D.

Records of all violations of this Code and the disciplinary action taken will be maintained by the Compliance Officer and will be placed in the Sphere 3D Representative’s personnel file.

Sphere 3D will notify and cooperate with the police or other governmental authorities regarding acts of Sphere 3D Representatives involving violations of law, including Sphere 3D bringing suit against employees or former employees to defend its rights.

Communications

Sphere 3D strongly encourages dialogue among Sphere 3D Representatives and their supervisors to make everyone aware of situations that give rise to ethical questions and to articulate acceptable ways of handling those situations. The Compliance Officer shall provide a report to the Board on a periodic basis on any investigations or significant matters arising under this Code.

Responsibility of Senior Employees

Officers and other managerial employees are expected to promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships. Managerial employees may be disciplined if they do not report misconduct, do not take reasonable measures to detect misconduct or do not demonstrate the appropriate leadership to ensure compliance.

Related Sphere 3D Policies

This Code should be read in conjunction with Sphere 3D’s other related policy documents, including Sphere 3D’s Employee Handbook. This Code supplements, but does not supersede, any contractual obligation any person may have under the terms of any agreements with Sphere 3D.

Approval; Amendment

This Code was approved and adopted by the Board of Sphere 3D Inc. on February 15, 2012. Sphere 3D is committed to reviewing and updating its policies and procedures on a periodic basis. Therefore, this Code may be revised, changed or amended at any time by the Board. Any amendment to the Code will be disclosed promptly to Sphere 3D Representatives and will be disclosed publicly in accordance with applicable securities laws.
