The Subscriber hereby confirms its irrevocable subscription for and offer to purchase the Subscription Receipts from the Corporation, on and subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Subscription Agreement, for the Aggregate Subscription Price which is payable as described in Article 4 hereto.
3.2 Description of the Subscription Receipts
Upon closing of the Private Placement, all proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts (the "Escrowed Funds") will be deposited with Counsel in Brattle's trust account and may be invested in short-term obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Government of Canada, and other approved investments. To comply with applicable Securities Laws, Brattle will file a Form S-1 Registration Statement. Each Subscription Receipt is automatically exchangeable upon the date (the "Effective Date") that is the later of (i) the date of issuance by the Corporation of the Closing Notice, and (ii) the date on which the United States Securities and Exchange Commission declares a Form S-1 Registration Statement of Brattle effective.
In compliance with applicable Securities Laws, the Escrowed Funds, and any interest earned thereon, will be released by Counsel upon receipt, by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on June 15, 2021 (the "Deadline"), by Counsel, of a signed notice from an authorized signing officer of the Corporation confirming that they have completed or met all conditions to complete the Acquisition (the "Closing Notice") and receipt of a copy of the Final Exchange Bulletin (as such term is defined by the TSXV) in connection with the Acquisition.
Immediately upon the date Effective Date, each Subscription Receipt will be deemed to have been exchanged by the holder thereof, without payment of additional consideration or further action on the part of the holder, for one (1) Unit (post-Consolidation for 0.737 of a Unit). Each whole Unit shall consist one (1) Common Share and one (1) Warrant.
On the Effective Date (i) the Corporation will amalgamate (the "BC Amalgamation") with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brattle incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia ("BC Subco"), to form an amalgamated entity ("BC Amalco") on the terms and conditions of an amalgamation agreement to be entered into among the Corporation, BC Subco and Brattle such that holders of Common Shares, Warrants and holders of convertible securities of the Corporation (such as compensation options) will receive Resulting Issuer Shares, Resulting Issuer Warrants and such other convertible securities of the Resulting Issuer, in each case on substantially the same terms on a one-for-one basis, and (ii) BC Amalco will liquidate and wind up into the Resulting Issuer.
If the Closing Notice is not provided on or before the Deadline or the Corporation has provided notice to Counsel that the Acquisition will not be completed by the Deadline (each case being a "Refund Event"), on the date of the Refund Event, the holders of the Subscription Receipts will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Aggregate Subscription Price paid by such holder, together with such holder's pro rata entitlement to interest earned on such amount, less any applicable withholding tax but with no other deductions. The Escrowed Funds will be applied towards payment of such amount, and the Corporation shall make up any shortfall of the balance owed to the holders of the Subscription Receipts.
3.3 Acceptance and Rejection of Subscription by the Corporation
The Subscriber acknowledges (on its own behalf, and, if applicable, on behalf of each person on whose behalf the Subscriber is contracting) and agrees that the Corporation reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to reject this subscription for Subscription Receipts, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Closing Time. If this subscription is rejected in whole, or the conditions of purchase set out herein are not fulfilled or waived, any cheques or other forms of payment delivered to the Corporation, or its counsel, representing the Aggregate Subscription Price will be promptly returned to the Subscriber without interest or deduction. If this subscription is accepted only in part, a cheque representing any refund of the Aggregate Subscription Price for that portion of the subscription for Subscription Receipts which is not accepted, will be promptly delivered to the Subscriber without interest or deduction. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscription Receipts subscribed for by it hereunder may form part of a larger issuance and sale by the Corporation of Subscription Receipts for gross proceeds of up to $1,890,000 (in addition to a concurrent subscription receipt financing by Brattle for up to $3,150,000 as disclosed by Brattle prior to the Closing Date) to be issued in one or more tranches. The Subscriber understands that the Private Placement is not subject to any minimum subscription level and therefore any funds invested are, pursuant to the terms hereof, available to and will be paid to the Corporation on the Closing Date and need not be refunded to the Subscriber.

(o) The Subscriber, and each beneficial purchaser for whom it is contracting hereunder, have been advised to consult their own legal advisors with respect to trading in the Subscription Receipts and underlying securities and with respect to the resale restrictions imposed by the Securities Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Subscriber resides and other applicable securities laws, and acknowledges that no representation has been made respecting the applicable hold periods imposed by the Securities Laws or other resale restrictions applicable to such securities which restrict the ability of the Subscriber (or others for whom it is contracting hereunder) to resell such securities, that the Subscriber (or others for whom it is contracting hereunder) is solely responsible to find out what these restrictions are and the Subscriber is solely responsible (and the Corporation is in no way responsible) for compliance with applicable resale restrictions and the Subscriber is aware that it (or beneficial purchasers for whom it is contracting hereunder) may not be able to resell such securities except in accordance with limited exemptions under the Securities Laws and other applicable securities laws.
(p) The Subscriber has not received or been provided with a prospectus or offering memorandum, within the meaning of the Securities Laws, or any sales or advertising literature in connection with the Private Placement and the Subscriber's decision to subscribe for the Subscription Receipts was not based upon, and the Subscriber has not relied upon, any verbal or written representations as to facts made by or on behalf of the Corporation. The Subscriber's decision to subscribe for Subscription Receipts was based solely upon information about the Corporation and Brattle which is publicly available on SEDAR (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇).
(q) The Subscriber is not purchasing Subscription Receipts with knowledge of material information concerning the Corporation which has not been generally disclosed.
(r) No person has made any written or oral representations (i) that any person will resell or repurchase the Subscription Receipts or underlying securities, (ii) that any person will refund the Aggregate Subscription Price, or (iii) as to the future price or value of the Subscription Receipts or underlying securities.
(s) The Subscriber has not purchased the Subscription Receipts as a result of any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as such terms are used in Regulation D of the U.S. Securities Act), including, without limitation, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or on the internet, or broadcast over radio, internet, television or other form of telecommunications, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation or general advertising.
(t) None of the funds the Subscriber is using to purchase the Subscription Receipts represent proceeds of crime for the purposes of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) (the "PCMLTFA") or the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (United States) (the "USA PATRIOT Act"), and the Subscriber acknowledges that the Corporation may in the future be required by law to disclose the Subscriber's name and other information relating to this Subscription Agreement and its subscription hereunder, on a confidential basis, pursuant to the PCMLTFA and USA PATRIOT Act. To the best of its knowledge (i) none of the subscription funds to be provided by the Subscriber and/or any beneficial purchaser for whom the Subscriber is acting on behalf of (A) have been or will be derived from or related to any activity that is deemed criminal under the law of Canada, the United States, or any other jurisdiction, or (B) are being tendered on behalf of a person or entity who has not been identified to it, and (ii) it shall promptly notify the Corporation if the Subscriber discovers that any of such representations ceases to be true, and to provide the Corporation with appropriate information in connection therewith.
(u) None of the funds being used to purchase Subscription Receipts are, to the Subscriber's knowledge, proceeds obtained or derived directly or indirectly as a result of illegal activities.
(v) The Subscriber has had an opportunity to seek the advice of independent counsel or such other advisors as the Subscriber requires in order to evaluate the investment in the Corporation and to fully understand the rights of holders of Subscription Receipts and underlying securities.
6.2 Acknowledgements of the Subscriber
The Subscriber, on its own behalf and, if applicable, on behalf of others for whom it is acting hereunder, acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a) No securities commission, agency, governmental authority, regulatory body, stock exchange or other regulatory body has reviewed or passed on the merits of the Subscription Receipts or underlying securities.
(b) The Subscription Receipts and underlying securities have not been recommended by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, any state or Canadian provincial securities commission or regulatory authority or by any other securities commission or regulatory authority. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
(c) The Subscription Receipts and underlying securities shall be subject to statutory resale restrictions under the Securities Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Subscriber resides and under other applicable securities laws, and the Subscriber covenants that it will not resell such securities except in compliance with such laws and the Subscriber acknowledges that it is solely responsible (and the Corporation is in no way responsible) for such compliance, and it is the responsibility of the Subscriber to find out what those restrictions are and to comply with them before selling such securities. Accordingly, the Subscriber's ability to transfer the Subscription Receipts and underlying securities is limited by, among other things, applicable Securities Laws.
(d) The Corporation is not a "reporting issuer" under the securities laws of any province or territory of Canada, the Corporation has no obligation to become a reporting issuer and there is no guarantee that it will become a reporting issuer in the future. The Subscriber further acknowledges that as a result of the Corporation not being a reporting issuer the Securities will be subject to an indefinite "restricted period" under applicable Securities Laws of four (4) months and one (1) day from the later of the Closing Date and the date the Corporation becomes a reporting issuer under the Securities Laws of any province or territory of Canada, unless a prospectus is filed in accordance with applicable Canadian Securities Laws qualifying their distribution. The Subscriber further acknowledges that during such indefinite "restricted period", the Subscriber may not trade the Subscription Receipts and underlying securities under applicable Canadian Securities Laws without filing a prospectus in accordance with such laws or being able to rely on one of the limited exemptions under applicable Canadian Securities Laws.
(e) The certificate(s) representing the Subscription Receipts will bear, as of the Closing Date, a legend substantially in the following form and with the necessary information inserted:
"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE LATER OF (I) <INSERT CLOSING DATE> AND (II) THE DATE THE ISSUER BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY."
(f) In the event securities underlying the Subscription Receipts are issued prior to the expiry of the hold periods applicable to the Subscription Receipts, the securities underlying the Subscription Receipts will bear a legend substantially in the form contemplated in subsection 6.2(e) hereof.
(g) The Subscriber, and each beneficial purchaser for whom it is contracting hereunder, shall execute, deliver, file and otherwise assist the Corporation with filing all documentation required by the applicable Securities Laws to permit the subscription for Subscription Receipts and issuance of the securities underlying the Subscription Receipts.
(h) The Corporation is relying on the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and in the applicable Schedules attached hereto to determine the Subscriber's eligibility to subscribe for the Subscription Receipts under applicable Securities Laws and the Subscriber agrees to indemnify (i) the Corporation and its directors and officers, employees and agents against all losses, claims, costs, expenses, damages or liabilities which any of them may suffer or incur as a result of or arising from reliance thereon, and (ii) Counsel and its employees and agents in connection with its services provided in connection with the Private Placement as contemplated herein. The Subscriber undertakes to immediately notify the Corporation of any change in any statement or other information relating to the Subscriber set forth in such applicable Schedules which takes place prior to the Closing Time.
(i) The Corporation is relying on an exemption from the requirement to provide the Subscriber with a prospectus under the Securities Laws and, as a consequence of acquiring the Subscription Receipts under the Private Placement pursuant to such exemption, the Subscriber has significantly fewer rights and remedies available to it than an investor who acquires securities offered by a prospectus and certain protections, rights and remedies provided by the Securities Laws, including statutory rights of rescission or damages, will not be available to the Subscriber. The Subscriber is also aware that the common law may not provide investors with an adequate remedy in the event that they suffer investment losses in connection with securities acquired in the Private Placement.
(j) Unless the Subscriber is in the United States or is, or is subscribing for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person and has completed and delivered the U.S. Accredited Investor Certificate attached as Schedule "E" hereto (in which case the Subscriber makes the acknowledgements and agreements therein), the Subscription Receipts are being offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S. The Subscription Receipts and underlying securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act and may not be exchanged, offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons unless registered under such act or an exemption from the registration requirements of such act is available.
(k) The Subscriber, and each beneficial purchaser for whom it is contracting hereunder, is responsible for obtaining such legal and tax advice as it considers appropriate in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement. The Subscriber, and each beneficial purchaser, is not relying on the Corporation or its affiliates or counsel to the Corporation in this regard.
(l) There is no government or other insurance covering the Subscription Receipts or underlying securities.
(m) There are significant risks associated with the purchase of the Subscription Receipts and the Subscriber and any beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting may lose his, her or its entire investment.
(n) The Subscriber has had an opportunity to seek the advice of independent counsel or such other advisors as the Subscriber requires in order to evaluate the investment in the Corporation and to fully understand the rights of the Subscriber.
(o) The Corporation may complete additional financings in the future in order to develop the business of the Corporation and to fund its ongoing development; that there is no assurance that such financings will be available and, if available, on reasonable terms; any such future financings may have a dilutive effect on current securityholders, including the Subscriber; and that if such future financings are not available, the Corporation may be unable to fund its ongoing development.
(p) The Subscription Receipts and underlying securities are highly speculative in nature and that there are significant risks associated with the purchase of the Subscription Receipts and the Subscriber has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Subscription Receipts, fully understands the speculative nature of the Subscription Receipts and underlying securities and is able to bear the economic risk of loss of its entire investment. All costs and expenses incurred by the Subscriber (including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel or other advisors retained by the Subscriber) relating to the purchase of the Subscription Receipts shall be borne by the Subscriber.
(q) Pursuant to instructions from the Subscriber, the Corporation is authorized to correct any minor errors in or complete any minor information missing from the Schedules attached hereto.
(r) The Subscriber is knowledgeable of securities legislation in the Subscriber's jurisdiction of residence that may have application over the Subscriber or the Private Placement which would apply to this subscription and is satisfied that the Corporation and the Subscriber will not breach such laws by completing the transaction contemplated hereby.
(s) Notwithstanding Closing pursuant to Article 4, the Private Placement and issuance of Subscription Receipts to the Subscriber is ultimately subject to the final approval of the TSXV.
(t) The Subscriber acknowledges that the Corporation's counsel, DLA Piper (Canada) LLP, is acting as counsel to the Corporation and not as counsel to the Subscriber.
(u) On or before the Closing Date, Brattle intends to (i) change its name to Salona Global Medical Device Corporation, (ii) change its TSXV stock symbol to SGMD, and (iii) consolidate its issued and outstanding common shares, on the basis of 7.37 post-consolidation common shares for 10 pre-consolidation common shares (the "Consolidation"), or such number of pre-consolidation shares as may be determined by Brattle's board of directors or may be required to obtain approval of the Consolidation from the TSXV. If and upon the Consolidation becoming effective, the number of securities issuable to the Subscriber and the applicable prices associated with such securities, will be adjusted accordingly.
(v) The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Subscriber has had the opportunity to meet with the Corporation's and Brattle's management to discuss the BC Amalgamation and Acquisition and the terms, conditions, and effect of the transactions contemplated thereby, and to request any additional documents and information relevant to the BC Amalgamation and/or the Acquisition; and (ii) the consummation of the BC Amalgamation and the Acquisition is fair and in the best interest of the Corporation and its shareholders, including the Subscriber. As such, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the BC Amalgamation and Acquisition are hereby approved by the Subscriber in all respects. In connection therewith, the Subscriber irrevocably appoints the Corporation (or an individual nominated by the Corporation), with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Subscriber, in connection with, and to facilitate the consummation of, the transactions contemplated by the BC Amalgamation and the Acquisition, and to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Corporation (or an individual nominated by the Corporation), in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby. All power and authority conferred on the Corporation (or an individual nominated by the Corporation) under this subsection 6.2(v) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, the Subscriber agrees and represents that the foregoing appointment of the Corporation (or an individual nominated by the Corporation) as the Subscriber's attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power of attorney and shall not be terminated by any act of the Subscriber, by lack of appropriate power or authority or by the occurrence of any other event or events.
6.3 Reliance on Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Acknowledgements
The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgements made by the Subscriber in this Subscription Agreement are made with the intention that they may be relied upon by the Corporation in determining the Subscriber's eligibility (and, if applicable, the eligibility of others for whom the Subscriber is contracting hereunder) to purchase the Subscription Receipts under applicable Securities Laws. The Subscriber further agrees that by accepting the Subscription Receipts, the Subscriber shall be representing and warranting that such representations, warranties, acknowledgements and covenants are true and correct as at the Closing Time with the same force and effect as if they had been made by the Subscriber at the Closing Time and that they shall survive the purchase by the Subscriber of the Subscription Receipts and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any subsequent disposition by the Subscriber of any of the Subscription Receipts or any underlying securities. The Subscriber hereby indemnifies the Corporation, Counsel and their respective counsel in respect to all costs or losses they may suffer as a result of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments of the Subscriber contained herein being not true.
