Ladies and Gentlemen:

Hut 8 Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., Keefe, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, Inc., The Benchmark Company, LLC, BTIG, LLC, Canaccord Genuity LLC, ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Capital Group LLC, Maxim Group LLC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Company, LLC, and ▇▇▇▇ Capital Partners, LLC (each individually a “U.S. Agent”, and together, the “U.S. Agents”) and Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Canada Corporation, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Canada Inc., and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (each individually a “Canadian Agent”, together, the “Canadian Agents” and, together with the U.S. Agents, the “Agents” and each an “Agent”), as follows:

Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell to or through the Agents, as sales agent or principal, shares of common stock (the “Placement Shares”) of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through the Agents such number or dollar amount of Placement Shares that would (a) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock registered on the effective Registration Statement (as defined below) pursuant to which the offering is being made, (b) exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (less shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding securities of the Company or otherwise reserved from the Company’s authorized capital stock), (c) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock permitted to be sold under Form S-3 (including General Instruction I.B.6 thereof, if applicable) or (d) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock for which the Company has filed a Prospectus Supplement (as defined below) (the lesser of (a), (b), (c) and (d), the “Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the amount of Placement Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company and that the Agents shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The offer and sale of Placement Shares through the Agents will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and a Canadian Final Prospectus (as defined below), if any, although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement or the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any, to issue Common Stock. When determining the aggregate value of the Placement Shares sold, the Placement Shares denominated in or issued in, as applicable, Canadian dollars shall be converted into U.S. dollars using the Bank of Canada daily exchange rate of U.S. dollars with the Canadian Dollars in effect as of 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Canadian Business Day before the issue of such Placement Shares (or any successor daily exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada as agreed to by the parties). For purposes of the foregoing, “Canadian Business Day” shall mean any day on which commercial banks in the City of Toronto are open for business.

The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Securities Act Regulations”), with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-283579), including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities, including the Placement Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company, and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Company has prepared a prospectus supplement to the base prospectus included as part of the registration statement, which prospectus supplement relates to the Placement Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The Company will furnish to the U.S. Agents, for use by the U.S. Agents, copies of the prospectus included as part of such registration statement, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Placement Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company. Except where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement(s), including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act Regulations or deemed to be a part of such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B of the Securities Act Regulations, and any one or more additional effective registration statements on Form S-3 from time to time that will contain a base prospectus, and related prospectus or prospectus supplement, if applicable (which shall be a Prospectus Supplement), and in the event any post-effective amendment thereto becomes effective, with respect to or covering the Placement Shares, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The base prospectus or base prospectuses, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in the Registration Statement, as it may be supplemented, if necessary, by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form in which such prospectus or prospectuses and/or Prospectus Supplement have most recently been filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act Regulations, together with the then issued Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below), is herein called the “Prospectus.”

If the Company wishes to issue and sell Placement Shares hereunder on the facilities of the TSX (as defined below) or any other Canadian Marketplace (as defined below) (the “Canadian Offering”) and so long as the Company is in compliance with Section 7(f) herein, the Company may elect to prepare and file with the securities commissions or other securities regulatory authorities (together, the “Canadian Securities Commissions”) in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (the “Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions”), pursuant to all applicable Canadian Securities Laws: (a) a preliminary MJDS prospectus in accordance with National Instrument 71-101 – The Multijurisdictional Disclosure System of the Canadian Securities Commissions (the “MJDS Rule”) or a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus in accordance with National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions (“NI 44-102”) (a “NI 44-102 Preliminary Base Shelf Prospectus”, and in either case with a preliminary MJDS prospectus, a “Canadian Preliminary Base Prospectus”) in respect of certain securities, including the Placement Shares (collectively, the “Canadian Shelf Securities”), provided that the Company need not file a NI 44-102 Preliminary Base Shelf Prospectus, if at the time of such filing it qualifies as a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined under applicable Canadian Securities Law, (b) a final MJDS prospectus in accordance with the MJDS Rule or a final short form base shelf prospectus in accordance with NI 44-102 (a “NI 44-102 Final Base Shelf Prospectus”, in either case with a final MJDS prospectus, a “Canadian Final Base Prospectus”) relating to the Canadian Shelf Securities in each of the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions, and (c) a prospectus supplement relating to the Placement Shares (the “Canadian Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Canadian Final Base Prospectus, and including any documents incorporated therein by reference, including Designated News Releases, if required under applicable Canadian Securities Laws, and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein pursuant to Canadian Securities Laws, the “Canadian Final Prospectus”). As used herein, a “Designated News Release” means a news release disseminated by the Company in respect of previously undisclosed information that, in the Company’s determination, constitutes a “material fact” (as such term is defined in Canadian Securities Laws) and identified by the Company as a “designated news release” in writing on the face page of the version of such news release that is filed by the Company on the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval + (“SEDAR+”). The Company may at any time after a Receipt (as defined below) has been issued for a Canadian Final Base Prospectus, by written notice to the Canadian Agents (a “Canadian Termination Notice”), cancel the ability of the Company to conduct Canadian Offerings, until such time as the Company rescinds such notice by written notice to the Canadian Agents (a “Canadian Rescission Notice”). For the purposes of this Agreement, the period of time during which (i) a Receipt has been issued and remains effective and (ii) no Canadian Termination Notice has been delivered to the Canadian Agents which has not been rescinded by the delivery of a Canadian Rescission Notice to the Canadian Agents is referred to as the “Canadian Offering Period” (and any such period of time that is not a Canadian Offering Period is referred to as a “No Canadian Offering Period”). During a No Canadian Offering Period, all covenants, representations and warranties of the Company herein with respect to Canadian Offerings shall no longer apply, except as such may relate to Placement Shares already sold in a Canadian Offering.

The Company will furnish to the Canadian Agents, for use by the Canadian Agents, copies of the Canadian Final Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company. Upon the reasonable request of the Company, the Canadian Agents shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide in a timely manner the underwriter prospectus certificates required to file a Canadian Final Prospectus qualifying the Placement Shares for distribution in the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions (“Canadian Certificates”). The Company shall provide the Canadian Agents with a reasonable period of time to review draft versions of any document that requires a Canadian Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall (i) impose any obligation on the Company to file, a Canadian Preliminary Base Prospectus, Canadian Final Base Prospectus or any amendment, or supplement thereto, that relates to the qualifying of Placement Shares in any Canadian Qualifying Jurisdiction; or (ii) restrict the Company from filing a Canadian Preliminary Base Prospectus, Canadian Final Base Prospectus or any amendment, or supplement thereto, that relates to the qualifying of the distribution of any other securities of the Company that are not Placement Shares in any Canadian Qualifying Jurisdiction.

Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein at such time (the “Incorporated Documents”), including, unless the context otherwise requires, the documents, if any, filed as exhibits to such Incorporated Documents. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing after the execution hereof of any document with the Commission under the Exchange Act on or after the most-recent date and time that the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment or amendments thereto became or becomes effective, or the date of the Prospectus Supplement, Prospectus or such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, and incorporated therein by reference. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include the most recent copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system (“▇▇▇▇▇”) and all references to the Canadian Preliminary Base Prospectus, Canadian Final Base Prospectus, Canadian Prospectus Supplement, Canadian Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Canadian Securities Commissions pursuant SEDAR+. As used herein, “Prospectuses” shall mean, collectively, the Canadian Final Prospectus (but only during a Canadian Offering Period) and the Prospectus.

Placements. Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell Placement Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify (a) one of the Agents or (b) one U.S. Agent and one Canadian Agent, each of which Agent(s) that the Company may select in its sole discretion from time to time (in each case, a “Designated Agent”) by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to by the parties) of the dollar amount or number of Placement Shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the dollar amount or number of Placement Shares that may be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made (a “Placement Notice”), the form of which is attached hereto as Schedule 1. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Company set forth on Schedule 3 (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule) and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from the Designated Agent set forth on Schedule 3, as such Schedule 3 may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice shall be effective immediately upon receipt by the Designated Agent unless and until (i) the Designated Agent declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, which shall be promptly (in no event later than the end of the Trading Day following receipt of such Placement Notice) communicated in writing by the Designated Agent to the Company (ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares thereunder has been sold, (iii) the Company suspends sales under or terminates the Placement Notice, which suspension or termination rights may be exercised by the Company in its sole discretion, (iv) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice and explicitly indicates that the parameters of the subsequent Placement Notice supersede those parameters contained in the earlier delivered Placement Notice and (v) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 13. The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Company to the Designated Agent in connection with the sale of the Placement Shares shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 2. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor any Designated Agent will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to the Designated Agent and the Designated Agent does not decline such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control.

Sale of Placement Shares by the Designated Agent. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(a), the Designated Agent, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and, in compliance with applicable U.S. state and federal laws, rules and regulations, Canadian Securities Laws, the rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Nasdaq”), and the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”, and together with Nasdaq, the “Exchanges”) to sell the Placement Shares up to the number or dollar amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of, such Placement Notice. If a Placement Notice specifies one U.S. Agent and one Canadian Agent as Designated Agent, the Designated Agents shall use their best judgment to allocate the volume of sales of Placement Shares under any applicable Placement Notice in a manner intended to maintain the stability of the Common Stock on each of the Exchanges. The Designated Agent will provide written confirmation to the Company no later than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth (i) the number or dollar amount of Placement Shares sold on such day and the exchange or marketplace on which such sales were conducted, (ii) the average price at which Placement Shares were sold on such day, (iii) the compensation payable by the Company to the Designated Agent pursuant to Section 2 with respect to such sales, and (iv) the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Company, with an itemization of the deductions made by the Designated Agent (as set forth in Section 5(b)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales (collectively, the “Sales Data”). Subject to the terms of the Placement Notice, the Designated Agent may sell Placement Shares (i) by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act Regulations, including without limitation sales made on or through the Nasdaq or on any other existing U.S. trading market for the Placement Shares, or, with the prior written consent of the Company, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices and/or any other method permitted by law or (ii) by the Canadian Agents, during a Canadian Offering Period, by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market distribution” as defined in Canadian Securities Laws (provided that if the Canadian Final Prospectus is filed under the MJDS Rule, references to Canadian “shelf procedures” in such definition shall be disregarded), on the TSX or on any other “marketplace” (as such term is defined in National Instrument 21-101 – Marketplace Operation) in Canada (any, a “Canadian Marketplace”). Each of the Canadian Agents covenants and agrees, severally and not jointly, that (i) it shall not, directly or indirectly, advertise or solicit offers to purchase or sell Placement Shares in any jurisdiction other than Canada, (ii) it shall not sell Placement Shares on any exchange other than the TSX or any other Canadian Marketplace; and (iii) that it will conduct the sale of Placement Shares in compliance with applicable Canadian laws, including, without limitation, Canadian Securities Laws, the rules of any applicable Canadian Marketplace, all applicable rules of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (“CIRO”), Universal Market Integrity Rules, and any exemption from applicable Canadian Securities Laws obtained by the Company and that it will comply with the requirements of Section 9.3(m) of NI 44-102 in connection with any sales of Placement Shares pursuant to the Canadian Final Prospectus. Each of the U.S. Agents, severally and not jointly, covenants and agrees that: (a) it shall not, directly or indirectly, advertise or solicit offers to purchase or sell Placement Shares in Canada, and (b) it shall not sell Placement Shares on the TSX or on any Canadian Marketplace. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the U.S. Agents is acting as an underwriter of the Placement Shares in the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions. “Trading Day” means any day that is a trading day for the Nasdaq (for Placements by the U.S. Agents in the United States) or the TSX (for Placements by the Canadian Agents in Canada). As used in this Agreement, the term “Canadian Securities Laws” shall mean all applicable securities laws in each of the provinces of Canada, including, without limitation, each of the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions, and the respective regulations and rules under such laws together with applicable published rules, policy statements, blanket rulings and orders, instruments, rulings and notices of the regulatory authorities in such provinces.

Suspension of Sales. Consistent with standard market settlement practices, the Company or the Designated Agent may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3), suspend any sale of Placement Shares (a “Suspension”); provided, however, that such Suspension shall not affect or impair any party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. While a Suspension is in effect, any obligation under Sections 7(l), 7(m), 7(n), 7(o), and 7(p) with respect to the delivery of certificates, opinions, or comfort letters to the Agents shall be waived. Each of the parties agrees that no such notice under this Section 4 shall be effective against any other party unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule 3 hereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during any period in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information, as determined by the Company upon the advice of counsel (which may be internal counsel), the Company and the Agents agree that (i) no sale of Placement Shares will take place, (ii) the Company shall not request the sale of any Placement Shares, and (iii) the Agents shall not be obligated to sell or offer to sell any Placement Shares.

Sale and Delivery to the Designated Agent; Settlement.

(a)

Sale of Placement Shares. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Designated Agent’s acceptance of the terms of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Designated Agent, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law, rules and regulations to sell such Placement Shares up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Designated Agent will be successful in selling Placement Shares, (ii) the Designated Agent will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Designated Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law, rules and regulations to sell such Placement Shares as required under this Agreement and (iii) the Designated Agent shall be under no obligation to purchase Placement Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise agreed by the Designated Agent and the Company.

(b)

Settlement of Placement Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares will occur on the first (1st) Trading Day (or such other day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date”). The Designated Agent shall notify the Company of each sale of Placement Shares no later than the opening of the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder. The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a Settlement Date against receipt of the Placement Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price received by the Designated Agent, after deduction of (i) the Designated Agent’s commission, discount or other compensation for such sales payable by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof, and (ii) any transaction fees imposed by any Governmental Authority (as defined below) in respect of such sales.

(c)

Delivery of Placement Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Placement Shares being sold by crediting the Designated Agents’ or its designee’s account (provided the Designated Agent shall have given the Company written notice of such designee and such designee’s complete account information at least one Trading Day prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System, CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., if applicable, or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. On each Settlement Date, the Designated Agent will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Company on, or prior to, the Settlement Date. The Company agrees that if the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), defaults in its obligation to deliver Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, through no fault of the Agents, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 10(a) hereto, it will (i) hold the Designated Agent harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or reasonable and documented expense (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) and (ii) pay to the Designated Agent (without duplication) any commission or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.

(d)

Limitations on Offering Size. Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Placement Shares if, after giving effect to the sale of such Placement Shares, the aggregate gross sales proceeds of Placement Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement would exceed the lesser of (A) together with all sales of Placement Shares under this Agreement, the Maximum Amount and (B) the amount authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the Company’s board of directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized executive committee, and notified to the Designated Agent in writing. Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement at a price lower than the minimum price, if any, authorized from time to time by the Company’s board of directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized executive committee. Further, under no circumstances shall the Company cause or permit the aggregate offering amount of Placement Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the Maximum Amount.

(e)

Sales Through Agents. With respect to the offering and sale of Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees that any offer to sell Placement Shares, any solicitation of an offer to buy Placement Shares, and any sales of Placement Shares shall only be effected by or through the Designated Agent on any single given day, and the Company shall in no event request that more than one Agent offer or sell Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement on the same day.

Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement or Prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents), the Company represents and warrants to and agrees with each Agent that as of the date of this Agreement and as of each Applicable Time (as defined below), unless such representation, warranty or agreement specifies a different date or time and provided that the Company makes no such representation, warranty or agreement in respect of a Canadian Offering, Canadian Shelf Securities, a Canadian Preliminary Base Prospectus, a Canadian Prospectus Supplement or a Canadian Final Prospectus except during a Canadian Offering Period:

(a)

Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement meet the requirements for and comply with the applicable conditions set forth in Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission and became automatically effective under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement is effective. The Prospectus Supplement, and the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any, will name the Agents as the agents in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.” The Company has not received, and has no notice of, any order of the Commission preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement or threatening or instituting proceedings for that purpose. The Registration Statement and the offer and sale of Placement Shares as contemplated hereby meet the requirements of Rule 415 under the Securities Act and comply in all material respects with said Rule. Any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement have been so described or filed, as applicable. Copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and any such amendments or supplements and all of the Incorporated Documents that were filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement have been delivered, or are available through ▇▇▇▇▇, to the Agents and their counsel. The Company has not distributed and, prior to the later to occur of each Settlement Date and completion of the distribution of the Placement Shares, will not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering or sale of the Placement Shares other than the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to which the Agents have consented, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or that is required by applicable law or the listing maintenance requirements of the Exchange. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and is currently listed on the Nasdaq under the trading symbol “HUT.” The Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, delisting the Common Stock from the Nasdaq, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or the Nasdaq is contemplating terminating such registration or listing. To the Company’s knowledge, it is in compliance with all applicable listing requirements of the Nasdaq. As of the date of this Agreement and as at each Applicable Time should the Company undertake a Canadian Offering during a Canadian Offering Period, (i) the Common Stock is listed on the TSX under the trading symbol “HUT”; (ii) the Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of delisting the Common Stock from the TSX, nor has the Company received any notification from the TSX that it is contemplating terminating such registration or listing; (iii) to the Company’s knowledge, it is in compliance with all applicable listing requirements of the TSX; and (iv) no cease trade order preventing the distribution of the Common Stock has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, by any of the Canadian Securities Commissions.

(b)

No Misstatement or Omission. The Registration Statement, when it became or becomes effective, and the Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, on the date of such Prospectus or amendment or supplement, conformed and will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any, on the date thereof or amendment or supplement thereto, on the date of such amendment or supplement, will comply in all material respects with Canadian Securities Laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Canadian Securities Commissions thereunder. At each Settlement Date, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as of such date, will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any, as of such date, if applicable, will comply in all material respects with Canadian Securities Laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Canadian Securities Commissions thereunder. The Registration Statement, when it became or becomes effective, did not, and will not, 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 in which they were made, not misleading and the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any, will as of the date thereof, be true and correct in all material respects and contain full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the Company and the Placement Shares as required by Canadian Securities Laws and will 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. Each of the Prospectuses and any amendment and supplement thereto, on the date thereof and at each Applicable Time (as defined below), did not or will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any, will as of such times, be true and correct in all material respects and contain full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the Company and the Placement Shares as required by Canadian Securities Laws. The documents incorporated by reference in the each of the Prospectuses, as applicable, did not, and any further documents filed and incorporated by reference therein will not, when filed with the Commission, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in such document or necessary to make the statements in such document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or contain a “misrepresentation” as defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws. The foregoing shall not apply to statements in, or omissions from, any such document made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Company by the Agents in writing specifically for use in the preparation thereof, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Agents to the Company consists of “Agent Information” as defined below.

(c)

Conformity with the Securities Act and Exchange Act. The Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any, or any amendment or supplement thereto and the Incorporated Documents, when such documents were or are filed with the Commission under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or on SEDAR+, as applicable, or became or become effective under the Securities Act or Canadian Securities Laws, as applicable, conformed or will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and Canadian Securities Laws, as applicable.

(b)

Notice of Commission Stop Orders. The Company will advise the Agents, promptly after it receives notice or obtains knowledge thereof, of the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission or if during a Canadian Offering Period, the Canadian Securities Commissions, of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, of the suspension of the qualification of the Placement Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose; and it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such a stop order should be issued. The Company will advise the Agents promptly after it receives any request by the Commission or if during a Canadian Offering Period, the Canadian Securities Commissions for any amendments to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplements to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any, or for additional information related to the offering of the Placement Shares or for additional information related to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any.

During any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by a Designated Agent under the Securities Act or Canadian Securities Laws with respect to the offer and sale of the Placement Shares, (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act or similar rule), the Company will comply in all material respects with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and Canadian Securities Laws, as from time to time in force, and to file on or before their respective due dates (taking into account any extensions available under the Exchange Act) all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, 15(d) or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act or with the Canadian Securities Commissions pursuant to Canadian Securities Laws. If the Company has omitted any information from the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the provisions of and make all requisite filings with the Commission pursuant to said Rule 430B and to notify the Agents promptly of all such filings if not available on ▇▇▇▇▇. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus or the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any, as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any, to comply with applicable Canadian Securities Laws, the Company will promptly notify the Agents to suspend the offering of Placement Shares during such period and the Company will promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement, Prospectus or Canadian Final Prospectus (at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; provided, however, that the Company may delay any such amendment or supplement if, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, it is in the interests of the Company to do so, and shall provide the Agents with a written notice to that effect.

The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Agents, to qualify the Placement Shares for offering and sale, or to obtain an exemption for the Placement Shares to be offered and sold, under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Agents may designate and to maintain such qualifications and exemptions in effect for so long as reasonably required for the distribution of the Placement Shares (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this Agreement); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. In each jurisdiction in which the Placement Shares have been so qualified or exempt, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification or exemption, as the case may be, in effect for so long as reasonably required for the distribution of the Placement Shares (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this Agreement).

(u)

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act. The Company and the Significant Subsidiaries will maintain and keep accurate books and records reflecting their assets and maintain internal accounting controls in a manner designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and including those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, (iii) that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with management’s and the Company’s directors’ authorization, and (iv) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.

The Company agrees to pay the fees and expenses of counsel to the Agents set forth in clause (v) above by wire transfer of immediately available funds directly to such counsel reasonably promptly following presentation of an invoice containing the requisite payment information prepared by such counsel.

Conditions to the Agents’ Obligations. The obligations of the Agents hereunder with respect to a Placement will be subject to the continuing accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties made by the Company herein (other than those representations and warranties made as of a specified date or time) in all material respects, to the due performance in all material respects by the Company of its obligations hereunder, to the completion by the Agents of a due diligence review satisfactory to the Agents in their reasonable judgment, and to the continuing reasonably satisfaction (or waiver by the Agents in their sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:

(a)

(b)

No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Company of any request for additional information from the Commission, the Canadian Securities Commissions or any other federal, state or provincial Governmental Authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to which would require any post-effective amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission, the Canadian Securities Commissions, during a period that is a Canadian Offering Period, or any other federal, state or provincial, during a period that is a Canadian Offering Period, Governmental Authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the Canadian Final Prospectus, if any, or initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening in writing of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement or either of the Prospectuses (excluding a Canadian Final Prospectus during a No Canadian Offering Period), as applicable, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or documents incorporated by reference therein so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, 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 not misleading and, that in the case of the Prospectus, it will 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c)

No Misstatement or Material Omission. The Agents shall not have advised the Company that the Registration Statement or Prospectuses (excluding a Canadian Final Prospectus during a No Canadian Offering Period), as applicable, or any amendment or supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of fact that in the Agents’ reasonable opinion is material, or omits to state a fact that in the Agents’ reasonable opinion is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(d)

(e)

10.

Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)           Company Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, its affiliates and their respective partners, members, directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls such Agent or any such affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:

(i)           against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and reasonable and documented expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectuses, as applicable (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii)          against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and reasonable and documented expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 10(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld; and

(iii)         against any and all reasonable and documented expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above,

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made solely in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agents Information (as defined below).

(b)           Agents Indemnification. Each Agent, severally but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who (i) controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 10(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendments thereto), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Agents and furnished to the Company in writing by the Agents expressly for use therein. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Agents have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the eleventh paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus (the “Agents Information”).

(c)           Procedure. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 10 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 10, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10 and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this Section 10 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable and documented costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict of interest exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action or counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in each case, within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action; in each of which cases the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm (plus local counsel) admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly after the indemnifying party or parties receives a written invoice related to fees, disbursements and other charges in reasonable detail. An indemnifying party will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 10 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1) includes an express and unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)           Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, for which it is entitled to be reimbursed under this Section 10, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 10(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (1) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (2) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 60 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (3) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(e)           Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 10 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable or insufficient from the Company or the Agents, the Company and the Agents will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) to which the Company and the Agents may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Placement Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by the Agents (before deducting expenses) from the sale of Placement Shares on behalf of the Company. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agents, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Agents, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 10(e) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 10(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 10(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(e), an Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by it under this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 10(e), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, any affiliates of an Agent and any officers, directors, partners, employees or agents of an Agent or any of its affiliates, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each director and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 10(e), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 10(e) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10(c) hereof, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 10(c) hereof. The Agents’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10(e) are several in proportion to the respective number of Placement Shares they have sold hereunder, and not joint.

11.

Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 10 of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent, any controlling persons, or the Company (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

12.

Reporting Relating to Placement of Placement Shares. The Agents will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Company, for each interim and annual period during which Placement Shares are sold through the Agents or distributed pursuant to this Agreement, such aggregate Sales Data and other information reasonably requested by the Company to enable the Company to meet its reporting requirements under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, applicable Canadian Securities Laws and any applicable requirements of the Exchanges. Unless applicable securities laws or any applicable requirements of the Exchanges otherwise require, the Company and Agents agree that the Agents’ report referred to in this Section 12 shall state the number and average price of Placement Shares issued on all Settlement Dates occurring during the interim or annual period, as applicable, and the aggregate gross and the aggregate net proceeds raised and the aggregate commission paid or payable, during the interim or annual period, as applicable.

13.

Termination.

(a)

Each Agent may terminate this Agreement with respect to itself, by written notice to the Company, as hereinafter specified at any time (1) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the date as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any Material Adverse Effect, or any development or event that would have a Material Adverse Effect, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Agent is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to market the Placement Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Placement Shares, (2) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Placement Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Placement Shares, (3) if trading in the Common Stock has been suspended or limited by the Commission, the Canadian Securities Commissions or either Exchange, or if trading generally on either Exchange has been suspended or limited, or minimum prices for trading have been fixed on the Exchange, provided that the foregoing shall only apply with respect to the Canadian Securities Commissions and the TSX during a Canadian Offering Period and only with respect to the Canadian Agents (4) if any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall have occurred and be continuing, provided that foregoing shall only apply with respect to the TSX during a Canadian Offering Period and only with respect to the Canadian Agents (5) if a major disruption of securities settlements or clearance services in the United States or Canada shall have occurred and be continuing, provided that the foregoing shall only apply with respect to Canada during a Canadian Offering Period and only with respect to the Canadian Agents, or (6) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either U.S. Federal or New York authorities or Canadian authorities, provided that the foregoing shall only apply with respect to Canadian authorities during a Canadian Offering Period and only with respect to the Canadian Agents. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8 (Payment of Expenses), Section 10 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 11 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 18 (Governing Law and Time; Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 19 (Consent to Jurisdiction) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If an Agent elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 13(a), such Agent shall provide the required notice as specified in Section 14 (Notices). For the avoidance of doubt, the termination by one Agent of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13(a) shall not affect the rights and obligations of the other Agents under the Agreement.

(b)

The Company shall have the right, by giving five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8, Section 10, Section 11, Section 18 and Section 19 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination by the Company of this Agreement with respect to one Agent pursuant to this Section 13(b) shall not affect the rights and obligations of the other Agents under this Agreement.

(c)

Each Agent shall have the right, by giving five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement with respect to itself in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8, Section 10, Section 11, Section 18 and Section 19 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination by one Agent of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13(c) shall not affect the rights and obligations of the other Agents under this Agreement.

(d)

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 13(a), (b), or (c) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 8, Section 10, Section 11, Section 18 and Section 19 shall remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not have any liability to an Agent for any discount, commission or other compensation with respect to any Placement Shares not otherwise sold by an Agent under this Agreement. To the extent this Agreement is terminated by one Agent or by the Company with respect to one Agent pursuant to Sections 13(a), (b) or (c) above, this Agreement shall terminate only with respect to such Agent and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Company and the other Agents, unless and until terminated pursuant to Sections 13(a), (b) or (c) above.

(e)

Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agents or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

14.

References to any of the parties contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Agents may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that each Agent may assign its rights and obligations hereunder without obtaining the Company’s consent to an affiliate thereof that is (a) a U.S.-registered broker-dealer with respect to the U.S. Agents and (b) a Canadian-registered investment-dealer with respect to the Canadian Agents.

17.

Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability; Waiver. This Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits attached hereto and Placement Notices issued pursuant hereto) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and each Agent; provided, however, that Schedule 3 of this Agreement may be amended by any party from time to time by sending a notice containing a revised Schedule 3 to the other parties in the manner provided in Section 14 and, upon such amendment, all references herein to Schedule 3 shall automatically be deemed to refer to such amended Schedule 3. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as written by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall be given full force and effect to the fullest possible extent that it is valid, legal and enforceable, and the remainder of the terms and provisions herein shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision was not contained herein, but only to the extent that giving effect to such provision and the remainder of the terms and provisions hereof shall be in accordance with the intent of the parties as reflected in this Agreement. No implied waiver by a party shall arise in the absence of a waiver in writing signed by such party. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder.

18.

GOVERNING LAW AND TIME; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME.

19.

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. 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 WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR THAT THE VENUE OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF (CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) 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 MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

20.

Use of Information. The Agents may not use any information gained in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including in connection with their and their advisors’ due diligence, to advise any party with respect to transactions not expressly approved by the Company in writing.

21.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed Agreement by one party to the other may be made by facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

23.

Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents, warrants and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Agents, and each Agent represents, warrants and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Placement Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Agents or by the Company, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and warrants that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. For the purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that all free writing prospectuses, if any, listed in Exhibit 21 hereto are Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses.

24.

Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)

each Agent is acting solely as agent in connection with the public offering of the Placement Shares and in connection with each transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the process leading to such transactions, and no fiduciary or advisory relationship between the Company or any of its respective affiliates, stockholders (or other equity holders), creditors or employees or any other party, on the one hand, and the Agents, on the other hand, has been or will be created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not any Agent has advised or is advising the Company on other matters, and the Agents have no obligation to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement;

(b)

it is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c)

neither the Agents nor their respective affiliates have provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and it has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate;

(d)

it is aware that each Agent and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and each such Agent and its affiliates have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship or otherwise; and

(e)

it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against an Agent or its affiliates for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the sale of Placement Shares under this Agreement and agrees that such Agents and its affiliates shall not have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to it in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on its behalf or in right of it or the Company, employees or creditors of the Company, other than in respect of the Agents’ obligations under this Agreement to keep information provided by the Company to the Agents and their advisors confidential to the extent not otherwise publicly available.

25.
