Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
On September 8, 2026, Sphere
3D Corp., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors named thereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”),
providing for the private placement (the “Private Placement”) to the Purchasers of an aggregate of 1,666,661 units
(collectively, the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one common share of the Company, no par value (a “Common
Share”), and (ii) one warrant to purchase one Common Share (the “Warrant”), for aggregate proceeds of approximately
$5.0 million (or $3.00 per Unit). The closing of the Private Placement occurred on September 11, 2026 (the “Closing Date”).
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Each Warrant has an exercise
price of $3.50 per Common Share, is immediately exercisable, expires five years from the date of issuance, and is subject to customary
adjustments.
The Warrants contain beneficial
ownership limitations pursuant to which a Warrant may not be exercised to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, the holder,
together with its affiliates and attribution parties, would beneficially own Common Shares in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation
applicable to such holder, which may be 4.99%, 9.99% or 19.99%. A holder may increase or decrease its beneficial ownership limitation
upon notice to the Company, provided that the limitation may not exceed 19.99% and any increase will not become effective until the 61st
day following delivery of such notice.
The Warrants generally may
be exercised only for cash. If all of the Warrants are exercised for cash, the Company would expect to receive additional gross proceeds
of approximately $5.8 million.
Certain
affiliates of the Company, including the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, participated
in the Private Placement and subscribed for an aggregate of 333,332 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 million.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
for a six month period commencing on the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”), the Purchasers, subject to limited exceptions,
may not directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, lend, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Common Shares, Warrants
or the Common Shares underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) beneficially owned by them, or enter into certain
hedging or similar transactions that transfer the economic consequences of ownership of such securities (the “Lock-Up”).
The Warrants may be exercised during the Lock-Up Period, but any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise will remain subject to the Lock-Up
until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.
The securities issued to the
Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company relied on this exemption based in part
on representations made by the Purchasers, including that each Purchaser is either an “accredited investor,” as defined in
Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, or a “qualified institutional buyer,” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
The sale of the securities
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement has not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The securities may not
be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. In addition, securities
have not been qualified for distribution by prospectus in Canada and may not be offered or sold in Canada during the course of their distribution
except pursuant to a Canadian prospectus or an available exemption from applicable prospectus requirements. Neither this Current Report
on Form 8-K nor the exhibits attached hereto constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described
herein or therein.
On the Closing Date, the Company
and the Purchasers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to
which the Company agreed to prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, no later than 181 days after the Closing
Date, a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of the Common Shares issued in the Private Placement and the Warrant Shares.
Subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and the transfer restrictions contained in the Purchase Agreement, including
the Lock-Up, the Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective as promptly
as possible after its filing.
The foregoing descriptions
of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this Current
Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
3.1 Representations
and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports and in the Disclosure Schedules, which Disclosure Schedules
shall be deemed a part hereof and shall qualify any representation or otherwise made herein to the extent of the disclosure contained
in the Disclosure Schedules, the Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to each Purchaser. For purposes of
these representations and warranties (other than those expressly regarding the term “Subsidiary,” the term the “Company”

(a) Subsidiaries.
All of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company are set forth in the definition of the term “Subsidiary” contained
in this Agreement. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free
and clear of any Liens, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully
paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. Other than the Subsidiaries, the
Company does not own any equity interest and has not made any loans or advances to or guarantees of indebtedness to any person, corporation,
partnership or other entity and is not a party to any joint venture.
(b) Organization

and in good standing (if the concept of good standing exists in such jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation
or organization, with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently
conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified
to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing,
as the case may be, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or
enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s
ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii),
a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing
or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
(c) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder, including
the issuance of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s
shareholders in connection herewith or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction
Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance
with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution
provisions may be limited by applicable law.
7
(d) No
Conflicts; Regulation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
to which it is a party, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties
or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, anti-dilution or similar adjustments,
acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument
(evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by
which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict
with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental
authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any
property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could
not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The conduct of business by the Company or any Subsidiary as
presently conducted is not subject to continuing oversight, supervision, regulation or examination by any governmental official or body
of the United States, or any other jurisdiction wherein the Company or any Subsidiary conducts or proposes to conduct such business. The
Company and each Subsidiary has obtained all material licenses, permits and other governmental authorizations necessary to conduct its
business as presently conducted, except where the failure to do so would not be reasonably expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

is or may become bound to issue additional Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents or capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary.
The issuance and sale of the Securities do not, and the exercise in full of the Warrants and the issuance and delivery of the Warrant

with any provision that adjusts the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of such security or instrument upon an issuance of securities

validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance in all material respects with all federal and state securities
laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase

with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and
foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours,

disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits

a controlling influence over the management or policies of a bank or any entity that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the Federal
Reserve.
(mm) Money Laundering.
The operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial record-keeping
and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, applicable money laundering statutes
and applicable rules and regulations thereunder, including the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (signed into
law October 26, 2001) (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no Action or Proceeding by or before any court
or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to the Money Laundering
Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, threatened.
(nn) No Disqualification
Events. With respect to the Securities to be offered and sold hereunder in reliance on Rule 506 under the Securities Act, none of
the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Company participating
in the offering hereunder, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated
on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the Company
in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person” and, together, “Issuer Covered Persons”)
is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a
“Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company has
exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied,
to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the Purchaser a copy of any disclosures
provided thereunder.
(oo) Other
Covered Persons. The Company is not aware of any person (other than any Issuer Covered Person) that has been or will be paid (directly
or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of any Securities.
17
(pp) Notice of Disqualification
Events. The Company will notify the Purchaser in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to
any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer
Covered Person.
(qq) Certain Fees.
No brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or any Subsidiary to any broker, financial advisor
or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other
Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
(rr) Solvency. Based
on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the
proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will
be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities)
as they mature. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which
lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction
within one year from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness
of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness”
means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $100,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the
ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others,
whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties
by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z)
the present value of any lease payments in excess of $100,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(ss) Section 16 Matters.
The Board of Directors or a committee thereof composed solely of two or more “non-employee directors” (as defined in Rule
16b-3 under the Exchange Act) has approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby exempting any direct or indirect acquisitions
of Company securities or any derivatives thereof by any Purchaser who is currently an officer or director of the Company in such transactions
from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder.
18
3.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents
and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which
case they shall be accurate as of such date):
(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company
or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise
to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such
Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership,
limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a
party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited
by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable
law.
(b) Own
Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with
a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution
of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting
such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such
Purchaser has independently made its own analysis and decision to invest in the Securities.
(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which
it exercises any Warrants, it will be: either (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7),
(a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule
144A(a) under the Securities Act.
19
(d) Experience
of such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience
in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities,
and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any
seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(f) Access
to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits
and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary
of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities
and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results
of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity
to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary
to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
(g) Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has
any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or
sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received
a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser
that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets
and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by
the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons
party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners,
legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made
to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for
the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect
to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
(h) Short
Sales. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that, from the date hereof and until the date on which the initial Registration
Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall have been declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act, such
Purchaser shall not engage in or effect, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any (i) “short sale” (as such term
is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO) of the Common Shares or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with
respect to the Common Shares.
20
(i) Canadian
Securities Laws. Such Purchaser represents and warrants that:
(i) it
is not resident in Canada and is located outside Canada;
(ii) it

(iii) it
is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution

jurisdiction in which such Purchaser is resident;

each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will not be resident in Canada and will be acquiring the applicable Warrant Shares as
principal for its own account.
(j) Acknowledgment
Regarding Canadian Securities Laws. Such Purchaser acknowledges that:
(i) the
offering of the Securities is being made outside Canada;
(ii) the
Securities have not been qualified for distribution by prospectus in Canada, and no securities commission or similar regulatory authority
in Canada has reviewed or passed upon the merits of the Securities or the offering; and
(iii) the
Securities may not be offered or sold in Canada during the course of their distribution except pursuant to a Canadian prospectus or an
available exemption from the applicable Canadian prospectus requirement.
The Company acknowledges and
agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on
the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any
other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute
a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or
similar transactions in the future.

Article
IV
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) Lock-Up.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, any effective registration statement
or otherwise, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date
(the “Lock-Up Period”), each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly,
(i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, lend, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or
dispose of any Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares beneficially owned by such Purchaser, (ii) enter into any swap, short sale, hedge or
other agreement or transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any such
Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or other securities,
in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to take any of the actions described in clause (i) or (ii) (collectively,
a “Transfer”). For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement covering the
resale of any Securities shall not release any Purchaser or Securities from the restrictions contained in this Section 4.1(a), (y) nothing
in this Section 4.1(a) shall prohibit the exercise of any Warrant in accordance with its terms, but any Warrant Shares issued upon such
exercise shall remain subject to this Section 4.1(a) until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, and (z) the Company’s obligations
under the Registration Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the Lock-Up Period. The Company and the Transfer
Agent are hereby authorized to decline to effect any Transfer in violation of this Section 4.1(a) and to place stop-transfer instructions
and appropriate restrictive legends on the Securities to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.1(a).
(b) Subject
in all respects to Section 4.1(a), the Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with applicable United States federal and state
securities laws and Canadian Securities Laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period,
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser in accordance with Section
4.1(a) or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide
to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which
opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred
Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of
this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and
the Registration Rights Agreement.
(c) The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in
the following form:
[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR] [THE SECURITIES
INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION
OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”),
AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT
TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION
WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED
INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION,
THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS FOUR MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE DATE OF ISSUANCE.
22
Subject in all respects to
Section 4.1(a), the Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement
with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser
may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval
of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.
Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver
such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer
of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation
and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities
Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) thereunder.
(d) Certificates
or book-entry positions evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares and held by non-Affiliates of the Company shall not contain any legend
(including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof) following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, provided that one or more
of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such
security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (if the
transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), (iii) such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without the need
to comply with the current information requirement contained in Rule 144(c), or (iv) such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall
cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or a Purchaser promptly if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the
removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time
when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such Shares or Warrant Shares may be
sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 (assuming cashless
exercise of the Warrants), or if the Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be
in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares or Warrant Shares or if such legend is not
otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by
the staff of the Commission) then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that at such time as such
legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c) and the Lock-Up Period has expired, it will, no later than the earlier of
(i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the
delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate or evidence of book entry position representing Shares or
Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend, together with customary representation letters duly executed by
such Purchaser (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate
(or evidence of book entry position) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends to the extent such legends
are no longer required under applicable United States or Canadian Securities Laws. The Company may not make any notation on its records
or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Securities
(or evidence of book entry position) subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to such Purchaser
by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.
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 Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate
or evidence of book entry position representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend.
(e) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that, following the expiration of the Lock-Up
Period, such Purchaser will sell the Securities, if any, pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including
any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration
Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive
legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance
upon this understanding.
23
4.2 Furnishing
of Information. Until the earlier of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities and (ii) the Warrants have expired, the Company
covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Shares under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date
hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
4.3 Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section
2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes
of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other
transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.4 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) on the Closing Date, or if Closing shall have occurred subsequent to 4:00 p.m. New
York City time on the Closing Date, on the Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date, issue a press release disclosing the material

Affiliates or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the issuance
of such press release and the filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality
or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, agents, employees, Affiliates or agents on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers on the other hand, in each case
solely with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. The Company
understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement
without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser,
with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure
is required by law or Canadian Securities Laws, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice
of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser,
or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written
consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) the Registration Statement and (ii)
the filing of final Transaction Documents (or disclosure with respect thereto) with the Commission, (b) to the extent such disclosure
is required by law, Canadian Securities Laws or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with
prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b) and reasonably cooperate with such Purchaser regarding such disclosure,
and (c) in the reports of exempt distribution required under Canadian Securities Laws.
24
4.5 Shareholder

is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution
under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser
could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents
or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
4.6 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on
its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes
constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such
information and agreed in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each
Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that any notice
provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any
Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously with the delivery of such notice disclose the publicly content thereof in a manner that
complies with Regulation FD. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company.
4.7 Use
of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital and general corporate

Share Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.

on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all
of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such
Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Shares traded on any other Trading Market, it will
then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of
the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take
all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Shares on a Trading Market and will comply in all material
respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company
agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Shares for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established

the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the
Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not
in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities

will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules.
4.12 [Reserved].

for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchaser at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws
of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.
4.14 Acknowledgment

which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction
Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of

have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
4.15 Exercise
Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchaser
in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers
to exercise their Warrants, except to the extent reasonably required to establish compliance with applicable securities laws. Without
limiting the preceding sentences, 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 form be required in order to exercise the Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises
of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction
Documents.

MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated: (i) by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect

not been consummated on or before the seventh (7th) Trading Day following the date hereof; (ii) upon mutual consent of the
Company and the Purchasers, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations
between the Company and the other Purchasers; and (iii) by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and
without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, if any of the conditions set forth in Section
2.3(b) shall become incapable of fulfillment and shall not have been waived by such Purchaser; provided, however, that no such termination
will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2 Fees
and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses
of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without
limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered
by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchaser (excluding
any successors or assigns thereof).
5.3 Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect
to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
5.4 Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile
at the facsimile number or email at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New
York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered

5.5 Amendments;
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in
the case of an amendment, by the Company and with the Requisite Consent (or, prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser) or,
in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment,
modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of at least a majority
in interest (based on the Subscription Amounts hereunder) of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall
also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to
be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement
hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser
relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected
Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities
and the Company.
27
5.6 Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
5.7 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other
than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or
transfers any Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Securities, provided that such transferee agrees
in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser may assign any right under this Agreement or transfer any Securities in violation of Section
4.1(a), and any purported assignment or transfer in violation of Section 4.1(a) shall be null and void ab initio.
5.8 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as explicitly set forth herein.
5.9 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts
of law thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Each party agrees
that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York.
Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough
of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not
to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action
or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process
and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight
delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit
in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce
any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing
party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution
of such Action or Proceeding.
5.10 Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.11 Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that
the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by electronic signature (including via DocuSign),
facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” (or similar) format data file, such signature shall create a valid
and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such
electronic, facsimile or “.pdf” (or similar) signature page were an original thereof.
28
5.12 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts
to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of
the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and
the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw,
in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part
without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise
of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any Common Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently
with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s
right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing
such restored right).
5.14 Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of
and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable
third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15 Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers
and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby
agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would
be adequate.
5.16 Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required
to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
29
5.17 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance
of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.
Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The
Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not
because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained
in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and
the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.18 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.
5.19 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents
and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall
not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to
share prices and Common Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward share splits, share
dividends, share combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.20 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY
AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES
FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT
SPHERE 3D CORP.
Warrant Shares: [●]
Issue Date: September 11, 2026
THIS COMMON SHARE PURCHASE
WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [HOLDER] or its assigns (the “Holder”)
is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after
the Issue Date (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on September 11, 2031
(the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Sphere 3D Corp., a corporation incorporated
under the laws of Ontario (the “Company”), up to [●] Common Shares
(as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one Common Share under this Warrant
shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b). The Warrant is being issued
pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 8, 2026, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto,
as amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Purchase Agreement”).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms
used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Section 2. Exercise.
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 Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise (the “Exercise Shares” and the date on which the
last of the Notice of Exercise and Exercise Price are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions
hereof), the “Exercise Date”) 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 following 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) Trading 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.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Common Share under this Warrant shall be $3.50, subject
to adjustment as set forth herein (the “Exercise Price”).
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 resale of the Warrant Shares by 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) of Regulation
NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) 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 Closing Price of the Common Shares on the principal
Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) 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;
(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.
2
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 characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may
be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
“Closing Price”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Shares are then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the closing price of the Common Shares for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the
Trading Market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New
York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of
the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Shares are not then
listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Shares are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar
organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent closing price per share of the Common Shares
so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an Common Share 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 Shares are then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30
a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average
price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Shares are
not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Shares are then reported on The Pink Open Market
(or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent closing price per Common Share
so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an Common Share 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.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, on the Termination
Date, (A) exceeds (B) in accordance with the formula and related definitions set forth in this Section 2(c), then on the Termination Date,
any portion of this Warrant that remains unexercised as of such date 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 Transfer Agent 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 the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder
without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and the Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and, in each
case, the Warrant Shares are not subject to any applicable Canadian hold period or other restriction on transfer under applicable Canadian
securities laws that would preclude such electronic delivery, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate (or evidence of issuance
of the Warrant Shares in book entry with the Transfer Agent), 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 (or, in the case of book entry issuance of Warrant Shares, evidence of such issuance to the email
address specified in such 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”). 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. 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 Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
3
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, 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 by delivering written notice to the Company at any time prior to the delivery of the Warrant Shares.
iv 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, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to
such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
v 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, 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.
vi Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which
prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
4
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 Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of
Common Shares 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 Share 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 and the calculations required under this Section
2(e). 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 Common
Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares then outstanding.
In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares 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 Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be [4.99][9.99][19.99]% of the
number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares 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 19.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares 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 61st day after such notice
is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this Section 2(e) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in
strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this Section 2(e) (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 Section 2(e) shall apply to a successor holder of this
Warrant.
f) Canadian
Securities Laws Condition. By delivering a Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to have made the representations, warranties
and certifications set out in paragraph (5) of the Notice of Exercise regarding Canadian securities laws. The Company shall not be required
to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant unless and until the Company is satisfied, acting reasonably, that the issuance
of the Warrant Shares complies with, or is exempt from, all applicable prospectus requirements under Canadian securities laws, and the
Holder has provided such representations, certifications and other evidence as the Company may reasonably require to establish such compliance
or exemption.
5
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Share
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes
a distribution or distributions on Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares (which,
for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding
Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse share split) outstanding Common Shares into
a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of the Common Shares into 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 Common Shares (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares 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 shareholders 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) 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 (excluding a merger effected solely to change the Company’s
name or domicile), (ii) the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), 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 Shares 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 Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly,
in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are 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 purchase agreement or other
business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with
another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares (not including
any Common Shares 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 purchase agreement 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares 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 Common Share 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 Shares 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. 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(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without
unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares 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 the form and substance to the Holder. 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.
6
c) 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 Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of
the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
d) 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, at its expense, 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 Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares 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 shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection
with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all
or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares 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 20 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 Shares
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 Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares 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 or furnish such information with the
Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. 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.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions
of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder 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 original Issue Date 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.
d) Transfer
Restrictions. In addition to compliance with applicable Canadian securities laws if, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant
in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without
volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition
of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 4.1
of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation
by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise
hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or
reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant
to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act, or with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution in Canada
in violation of applicable Canadian securities laws.
8
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No
Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends
or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(a). Without limiting any rights
of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant
to Section 2(d)(i) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
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 Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.
d) Authorized
Shares.
The Company covenants that,
during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Shares a sufficient number of shares
to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant, free from preemptive rights
or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder. 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 Trading Market
upon which the Common Shares 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 constating documents
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) maintain
the Warrant Shares as common shares without par value and not take any action that would impair the Company’s ability to validly
and legally issue the Warrant Shares as common shares without 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 Purchase Agreement.
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 state and federal securities laws. Additionally, the Holder acknowledges
that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer and resale under Canadian securities laws, including
National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities.
9
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 Purchase Agreement, 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 Purchase Agreement.
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 Shares or as a shareholder 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 only 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.
o) Execution.
This Warrant may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” or similar format data
file, in which case such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature
is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” or similar format signature page were an original
thereof.

or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission having substantially the same purpose and effect as such Rule.
“Rule 424”
means Rule 424 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended or interpreted from time to time,

Questionnaire” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3(a).
“SEC Guidance”
means (i) any publicly-available written or oral guidance of the Commission staff, or any comments, requirements or requests of the Commission

2. Shelf
Registration.
(a) No
later than the date that is 181 days after the Closing Date (such date, the “Filing Date”), the Company shall prepare
and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered
on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (the “Initial Registration
Statement”). Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by
at least 85% in interest of the Holders) the “Plan of Distribution” substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex
A and the “Selling Shareholder” section substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B; provided,
however, that no Holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such Holder’s express prior
written consent. The Company shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to address in each such document prior to being so filed with
the Commission such comments as the Holders or a single counsel thereto reasonably proposes, and (b) not file any Registration Statement
or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto containing information regarding a Holder to which such Holder reasonably objects,
unless such information is required to comply with any applicable law or regulation. The Holder shall furnish all information reasonably
requested by the Company and as shall otherwise be required in connection with any registration referred to in this Agreement. The Registration
Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
(b) Subject
to the terms of this Agreement and the transfer restrictions contained in the Purchase Agreement, including the Lock-Up Period, the Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the Filing Date or the
New Registration Filing Date, as applicable, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable
best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information
requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed
and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall notify
the Holders via e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms
effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company shall,
by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus
with the Commission as required by Rule 424.
3
(c) Notwithstanding
the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable
Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration
statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments
to the Initial Registration Statement or a new registration statement (together with any prospectuses or prospectus supplements thereunder,
a “New Registration Statement”) as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities
permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), as soon as reasonably practicable
but in any event not later than ten Business Days after the necessity therefor arises (the “New Registration Filing Date”);
provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use reasonable best efforts to
advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including
without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09. The Holders shall have the right to select one legal counsel retained
at the Holders’ sole expense, which counsel shall be selected by the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities, to
review and oversee any registration or matters pursuant to this Section 2(d), including participation in any meetings or discussions
with the Commission regarding the Commission’s position and to reasonably comment on any written submission made to the Commission
with respect thereto. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such amendments become effective as soon as reasonably
practicable following the filing thereof but no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date.
(d) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities
permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially
reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless
otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such
Registration Statement will be reduced, subject to any written contractual registration rights of other shareholders of the Company as
of the date hereof, as follows:
a. First, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities;
b. Second, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Warrant Shares (applied, in the
case that some Warrant Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Warrant
Shares held by such Holders); and
c. Third, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Shares (applied, in the case that
some Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares held by such Holders).
4
In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company
shall give each Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment
of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement
in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed
by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements
on Form S-3 to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement,
as amended.
(e) If
Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, then the Company shall not have any
obligation to register the resale of the Registrable Securities, whether on Form S-1 or any other form; provided that the Company shall
undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate of a Holder as any
Underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder.
3. Registration
Procedures.
In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder,
the Company shall:
(a) Not
less than three (3) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the
filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (excluding any Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and Current Report on Form 8-K, including any amendment thereto and any similar or successor reports) including any document
that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all
such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be
subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers, directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to
respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable
investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or
any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good
faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than three (3) Trading Days after the Holders have
been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related
Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached
to this Agreement as Annex C (a “Selling Shareholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than two (2)
Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder
receives draft materials in accordance with this Section.
5
(b) (i)
Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable
Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register
for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented
by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence
from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein
which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with
the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus
as so supplemented.
(c) If
during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of Common Shares then registered
in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the applicable New
Registration Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such
Registrable Securities.
(d) Notify
the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by
an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and
in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such
notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review”
of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to
a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or
any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional
information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for
that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding
for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration
Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement,
Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending
corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company,
makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided,
however, that in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the Company agrees that the Holders shall not have any contractual duty of confidentiality
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and shall not have any contractual duty to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries not to trade
on the basis of such information, in each case except as required by applicable law.
6
(e) Use
its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(f) Furnish
to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested
by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference)
promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission, provided that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or
successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.
(g) Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by
each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).
(h) Prior
to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling
Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder
reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness
Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities covered by each Registration Statement, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business
in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not
then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(i) If
requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (or evidence of book
entry transfer) representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates
(or evidence of book entry transfer) shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement and applicable securities laws,
of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any
such Holder may request.
7
(j) Upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances, taking
into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its shareholders of the premature
disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement
to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required
document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus, as the case may be, will contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses
(iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus
have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that
the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this
Section 3(j) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus for a period not to exceed 60 calendar
days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.
(k) Otherwise
use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement
or amendment thereof, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at
any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof,
the Holders are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions
as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
(l) If
then eligible to use Form S-3, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form S-3 (or
any successor form thereto) for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities.
(m) The
Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of Common Shares beneficially
owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the
shares.
4. Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by
the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to
in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees
and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission,
(B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Shares are then listed for trading, and (C)
in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation,
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities),
(ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger,
telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the
Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred
in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and
expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall
the Company be responsible for any underwriting discounts or broker or similar commissions or fees of any Holder or any legal fees or
other costs of the Holders.
8
5. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the
officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a
result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Shares) investment advisors and employees (and any other Persons
with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each
of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without
limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising
out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus
or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to
any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the
case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation
or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder,
in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such
untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder
expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution
of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement,
such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose)
or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(iv), the use by such Holder of
an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is
outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated
in Section 6(b). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising
from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer
of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(e).
(b) Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents
and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange
Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information
so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii)
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s information provided in the Selling Shareholder
Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such
Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose),
such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a selling Holder be greater in amount than
the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5
and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received
by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.
9
(c) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder
(an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the
“Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection
with defense thereof, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially
and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses,
(2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material
conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which
case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable and documented
fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall
not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of
any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable
fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses, to the extent incurred, in connection with investigating
or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 5) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party,
as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall
promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified
Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not
to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(d) Contribution.
If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold
an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection
with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has
been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable
and documented attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such
party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 was available
to such party in accordance with its terms.
10
The parties hereto agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In no event
shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net
of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Holder
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it
upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
The indemnity and contribution
agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified
Parties.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies.
In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the
Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery
of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that
monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions
of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall
not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) Discontinued
Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the
occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the
Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its
reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.
(c) Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Company and the Holders of 50.1% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes
any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security), provided that, if any amendment, modification or waiver
disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group
of Holders) shall be required. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or
amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall
be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted
from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect
to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights
of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates;
provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance
with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(c). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to
amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of

solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

Exhibit 99.1
Sphere 3D Corp. Concludes 90-Day Strategic Review,
Announces Pricing of $5.0 Million Private Placement, and Divests Non-Core Assets to Fund AI and High-Performance Computing Development
Three Directors, Including the Board Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, are participating in the Private Placement; Sale of Non-Core Iowa Site and Legacy Mining Fleet to Fund AI
and High-Performance Computing Development in the TVA Region; Company Secures Land Option in Hopkinsville, Kentucky
Stamford, Connecticut, September 8, 2026
- Sphere 3D Corp. d/b/a DarkHorse Technologies (NASDAQ: ANY) (“Sphere 3D” or the “Company”), today announced that
it has entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement financing (the “Private
Placement”) which is expected to result in aggregate gross proceeds of $5.0 million. The Private Placement includes meaningful participation
from certain Company insiders as described below. In addition, the Company has announced the initial conclusions of the strategic review
conducted by management and the Board of Directors during the first 90 days following its June 2026 business combination. The review’s
conclusions include continued development of our existing sites within the Tennessee Valley Authority (“TVA”) into AI factories
along with active pursuit of a new development in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where the Company, via a wholly owned subsidiary, has secured
a land option and has proposed a new 50 megawatt (“MW”) data center supported by a new 65 MW substation, each of which remains
subject to zoning and other approvals. The review also determined that the Iowa site and legacy mining fleet are non-core, and the Company
has agreed to sell both.
Private Placement. The Company announced
the pricing of the Private Placement which is expected to result in aggregate gross proceeds of $5.0 million. The Private Placement is
expected to close on or about September 11, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Pursuant to the Private Placement, the
Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 1,666,661 units (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $3.00 per
Unit. Each Unit consists of (i) one common share of the Company and (ii) one five-year warrant to purchase one common share at an exercise
price of $3.50 per share. The price per Unit and the exercise price of the warrant represent a 29% and 51% premium, respectively,
to the Company’s closing price on September 4, 2026. Further, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the securities issued
in the Private Placement will be subject to a six-month contractual lock-up period. Three directors of the Company, including Timothy
Hanley, Chairman of the Board, and Joel Block, Chief Executive Officer, have subscribed in the Private Placement (collectively, the “Participating
Insiders”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes, including funding
the Company’s AI/HPC development in the TVA region.
Hopkinsville. The Company has secured an
option to acquire approximately 20 acres in Hopkinsville, Kentucky and has proposed developing a new data center at the site drawing approximately
50 MW, supported by a new 65 MW substation that we have offered to fund at an estimated cost of $8 million to $10 million. The remaining
15 MW of capacity will be made available to other Hopkinsville Electric System (“HES”) customers. HES has publicly indicated
that the TVA could supply the additional capacity without affecting service to its approximately 13,000 existing customers. The proposal
has not yet received all requisite regulatory approvals which could affect the project’s feasibility, timing, or scope. Separately,
the Company is evaluating conversion of its existing Hopkinsville operation, which is contracted to draw approximately 15 MW at HES’s
Holland Substation, to AI and high-performance computing use.
Portfolio Focus. Following the review,
management and the Board determined that the Company’s Iowa site is a non-core asset and the Company has entered into a definitive
agreement to sell the site for $1.5 million. Additionally, the Company expects to recover approximately $500,000 in utility deposits and
related prepayments, bringing total proceeds to approximately $2 million. Together with the expected proceeds of the Private Placement,
the Company will deploy funds toward the development of AI and high-performance computing infrastructure across its Tennessee and Kentucky
sites. The Company has also agreed to sell its legacy fleet of approximately 5,500 proprietary mining machines for approximately $3 million.
Following the Iowa sale, the Company will own and/or operate approximately 50 MW of energized capacity across four sites in Tennessee
and Kentucky, reflecting an additional 5 MW now under contract in Hopkinsville, and excluding the proposed new Hopkinsville data center
and other pipeline opportunities.
Mining Structure. With Bitdeer Technologies
Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) now supplying and owning the hardware at 20 MW of the 30 MW contracted under the Company’s joint mining agreements
and the third site expected online before November 2026 as previously disclosed, the Company’s bitcoin mining exposure is structured
primarily through revenue-share hosting arrangements. The Company controls the power and the sites and the termination provisions in these
agreements preserve the Company’s ability to redeploy capacity to AI and high-performance computing workloads.
Development Roadmap. The strategy that
emerged from the review is to develop AI and high-performance computing facilities across smaller, distribution-connected sites that larger
developers overlook. Priorities will include speed from site to operating compute, partnership with host communities and their utilities,
and investment in local technical education and workforce training. The new Hopkinsville data center is the first project advanced under
this approach. The Company intends to concentrate its development effort in the TVA region, where its existing footprint, utility relationships,
and government affairs and economic development partnerships are already in place.
“One of the primary initiatives of this
management team is to allocate capital on a risk-adjusted basis, and the first 90 days were spent deciding where every dollar and every
hour goes,” said Joel Block, Chief Executive Officer of Sphere 3D Corp. “We determined, in consultation with our Board, that
our Iowa site is non-core. We are selling that site and our legacy mining fleet and redeploying that capital, together with the proceeds
from the Private Placement, into AI infrastructure in the TVA region. I believe the participation of our directors in the Private Placement,
including me, speaks volumes to the value we see in Sphere 3D.”
The Participating Insiders subscribed for a
total of 333,332 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 million. Each issuance by the Company of securities to a Participating
Insider in connection with the Private Placement is considered a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is exempt
from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set out in sections
5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of such transactions, insofar as they involve related parties,
is not more than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
The securities in the Private Placement described
above are being offered in a private placement pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and pursuant to applicable prospectus exemptions under Canadian securities laws.
The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and, accordingly, may not be offered
or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The securities
may also be subject to applicable hold periods and other resale restrictions under applicable Canadian securities laws.
This press release shall not constitute an
offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction
in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
