In her role as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, Ms. Jagpal shall formally assume the duties of the Company's principal financial officer and principal accounting officer immediately following the Effective Date.

The Company and Ms. Jagpal have entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), effective as of the Effective Date, to memorialize her employment with the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Ms. Jagpal will serve as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary as and from the Effective Date and will continue until terminated as provided for in the Employment Agreement. In consideration of the Services (as defined in the Employment Agreement) to be provided by Ms. Jagpal, she will receive an annual base salary of CAD$325,000 and be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus, which will be subject to the approval of the Board and the compensation committee of the Company, in their sole discretion, on an annual basis in accordance with the Company’s annual performance and compensation review process, including consideration of the Company’s market capitalization and financial stability. In accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement, the target annual discretionary bonus for Ms. Jagpal shall equal 40% of the base salary paid to Ms. Jagpal in the preceding 12-month period. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, the Company may from time to time, in its sole discretion, grant to Ms. Jagpal stock options in the capital of the Company (the “Options”) pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “SOP”), on the terms and conditions for such participation as established and changed from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion. As contemplated by the Employment Agreement, and subject to necessary corporate approvals, Ms. Jagpal shall receive 50,000 Options, to be granted at the earliest time allowable under the SOP and any of the Company’s blackout provisions.

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
