The Subscription Receipt Agent shall be entitled to process all proffered transfers and deemed conversions of Subscription Receipts upon the presumption that such transfers or deemed conversions are permissible pursuant to all applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

5.2 Adjustment
The rights attaching to the Subscription Receipts are subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of and in the manner provided as follows:
(a) If at any time after the issuance of the Subscription Receipts and before the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the Escrow Release Time, and (ii) a Termination, the Company:
(i) issues to all or substantially all the holders of the Subscription Shares, by way of a stock distribution, stock dividend or otherwise, Subscription Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable for Subscription Shares or splits, subdivides, re-divides or changes its outstanding Subscription Shares into a greater number of Subscription Shares, or
- 21 -
(ii) reduces, combines or consolidates its outstanding Subscription Shares into a lesser number of Subscription Shares,
(any of such events in Subsections 5.2(a)(i) and 5.2(a)(ii) being called a “Subscription Share Reorganization”), then the number of Subscription Shares issuable with respect to each Subscription Receipt will be adjusted as of the record date at which the holders of Subscription Shares are determined for the purpose of the Subscription Share Reorganization by multiplying the number of Subscription Shares theretofore obtainable immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of Subscription Shares outstanding on the record date after giving effect to such Subscription Share Reorganization and the denominator of which will be the number of Subscription Shares outstanding on the record date before giving effect to such Subscription Share Reorganization.
(b) If at any time after the issuance of the Subscription Receipts and before the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the Escrow Release Time, and (ii) a Termination, there is a reclassification of Subscription Shares at any time outstanding or a change or exchange of the Subscription Shares into other securities or property (other than a Subscription Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Company with or into any entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Subscription Shares or a change or exchange of the Subscription Shares into other securities or property), or a transfer of the undertakings or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another entity, or a record date for any of the foregoing events occurs, (any of such events being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), any holder entitled to acquire Subscription Shares after the record date or effective date of such Capital Reorganization will be entitled to receive, and will accept in lieu of the number of Subscription Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled, the aggregate number of other securities or other property which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, the holder had been the registered holder of the number of Subscription Shares to which such holder was then entitled with respect to the Subscription Receipts subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in Section 5.2, provided however, that no such Capital Reorganization will be carried into effect unless all necessary steps have been taken to so entitle the holders.
(c) If at any time after the issuance of the Subscription Receipts and before the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the Escrow Release Time, and (ii) a Termination, the Company issues or distributes to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Subscription Shares, cash or securities of the Company, including rights, options or warrants to acquire Subscription Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Subscription Shares or property or assets, including evidences of indebtedness, other than as a result of a Subscription Share Reorganization or a Capital Reorganization (any of such events being a “Special Distribution”), or a record date for any of the foregoing events occurs, the Receiptholders will be entitled to receive, and will receive, in addition to the number of Subscription Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled, the kind and amount of Subscription Shares, cash or other securities, property or assets which result from such issue or distribution as if, on the record date at which holders of Subscription Shares are determined for the purpose thereof, such Receiptholder had been the registered holder of the number of Subscription Shares to which the holder was theretofore entitled.
(d) The adjustments provided for in this Section 5.2 are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, consolidations, changes, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section 5.2.
(e) In the event that the Company, after the date hereof, shall take any action affecting the Subscription Shares, other than the actions described in this Section 5.2, which, in the reasonable opinion of the Directors, would materially affect the rights of the Receiptholders or the rights attaching to the Subscription Receipts, then the number of Subscription Shares which are to be received pursuant to the Subscription Receipts shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Directors may, in their discretion, reasonably and in good faith determine to be equitable to the Receiptholders in such circumstances.
- 22 -
(f) In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustment provided in this Section 5.2, such question shall be conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants appointed by the Company and acceptable to the Subscription Receipt Agent (who may be the auditors of the Company); such accountants shall have access to all necessary records of the Company and such determination, absent manifest error, shall be binding upon the Company, the Subscription Receipt Agent, Canaccord on behalf of the Agents and the Receiptholders.
(g) As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in the number of Subscription Shares issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts, the Company shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company (acting reasonably), be necessary to ensure that the Company has sufficient authorized capital and that the Company may validly and legally issue, as fully paid and non-assessable shares, all of the shares which the holders of such Subscription Receipts are entitled to receive on the conversion of the Subscription Receipts, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
(h) The Subscription Receipt Agent may rely upon certificates and other documents filed by the Company pursuant to this Article 5 for all purposes of any adjustment.
(i) For greater certainty, no adjustments shall be made in respect of any actions pursuant to the Definitive Agreement which would otherwise require adjustments under this Article 5.

In addition to all other powers conferred upon them by any other provisions of this Agreement or by law, the Receiptholders at a meeting shall, subject to the provisions of Section 9.11, have the power, subject to all applicable regulatory and exchange approvals, exercisable from time to time by special resolution (as defined in Section 9.11):

Any one or more of the powers or any combination of the powers in this Agreement stated to be exercisable by the Receiptholders by special resolution or otherwise may be exercised from time to time and the exercise of any one or more of such powers or any combination of powers from time to time shall not be deemed to exhaust the right of the Receiptholders to exercise such powers or combination of powers then or thereafter from time to time.
9.13 Minutes
Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting of Receiptholders shall be made and duly entered in books to be provided from time to time for that purpose by the Subscription Receipt Agent, and any such minutes as aforesaid, if signed by the chair or the secretary of the meeting at which such resolutions were passed or proceedings had or by the chair or secretary of the next succeeding meeting held shall be prima facie evidence of the matters therein stated and, until the contrary is proved, every such meeting in respect of the proceedings of which minutes shall have been made shall be deemed to have been duly convened and held, and all resolutions passed thereat or proceedings taken shall be deemed to have been duly passed and taken.

None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the Subscription Receipt Agent to expend or to risk its own funds or otherwise to incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless indemnified as aforesaid.
(c) The Subscription Receipt Agent may, before commencing or at any time during the continuance of any such act, action or proceeding, require the Receiptholders at whose instance it is acting to deposit with the Subscription Receipt Agent the Subscription Receipts held by them, for which Subscription Receipts the Subscription Receipt Agent shall issue receipts.

(d) Proof of the execution of an instrument in writing, including a Receipholders’ Request, by any Receipholder may be made by the certificate of a notary public, or other officer with similar powers, that the person signing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution or in any other manner which the Subscription Receipt Agent may consider adequate and, in respect of a corporate Receipholder, shall include a certificate of incumbency of such Receipholder together with a certified resolution authorizing the person who signs such instrument to sign such instrument.
(e) The Subscription Receipt Agent may act and rely and shall be protected in acting and relying upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, letter, or other paper document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by or on behalf of the proper party or parties.

(g) if the Subscription Receipt Agent delivers any cheque as required hereunder, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall have no further obligation or liability for the amount represented thereby, unless any such cheque is not honoured on presentation, provided that in the event of the non-receipt of such cheque by the payee, or the loss or destruction thereof, the Subscription Receipt Agent, upon being furnished with reasonable evidence of such non-receipt, loss or destruction and, if required by the Subscription Receipt Agent, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, shall issue to such payee a replacement cheque for the amount of such cheque;
(h) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and whether such losses or damages are foreseeable or unforeseeable, the Subscription Receipt Agent, except in the case of fraud, shall not be liable under any circumstances whatsoever for any (a) breach by any other party of securities law or other rule of any securities regulatory authority, (b) lost profits or (c) special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, aggravated or punitive losses or damages; and
(i) in addition to and without limiting any protection of the Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder or otherwise by law, the Company shall indemnify the Subscription Receipt Agent and its affiliates, their successors and assigns, and each of their directors, officers, employees and agents (the "Indemnified Parties") and save them harmless from and against all claims, demands, losses, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, liabilities, damages, costs, charges, assessments, judgments and expenses (including expert consultant and legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) whatsoever arising in connection with this Agreement including, without limitation, those arising out of or related to actions taken or omitted to be taken
- 36 -
by the Indemnified Parties and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of this indemnity, which the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, may suffer or incur, whether at law or in equity, in any way caused by or arising, directly or indirectly, in respect of any act, deed, matter or thing whatsoever made, done, acquiesced in or omitted in or about or in relation to the execution of the Subscription Receipt Agent’s duties hereunder, and including any services that the Subscription Receipt Agent may provide in connection with or in any way relating to this Agreement (unless arising from Subscription Receipt Agent’s gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith) and including any action or liability brought against or incurred by the Indemnified Parties in relation to or arising out of any breach by the Company or TelyRx.

In the event of the Subscription Receipt Agent resigning or being removed as aforesaid or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Company shall forthwith, with Canaccord’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, appoint a new subscription receipt agent unless a new subscription receipt agent has already been appointed by the Receipholders; failing such appointment by the Company, the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent (at the expense of the Company) or any Receipholder may apply to a justice of the courts of the Province of Ontario on such notice as such justice may direct, for the appointment of a new subscription receipt agent; but any new subscription receipt agent so appointed by the Company or by the courts of the Province of Ontario shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Receipholders. Any new subscription receipt agent appointed under any provision of this Section 11.7 shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in one or more provinces of Canada and, if required by the applicable legislation for any provinces or territories, in such provinces or territories. On any such appointment the new subscription receipt agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder. At the request of the Company or the new subscription receipt agent, the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent, upon payment of the amounts, if any, due to it pursuant to Section 7.1(b), shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the new subscription receipt agent all property and money held and all records kept by the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder or in connection herewith.
(b) Upon the appointment of a successor subscription receipt agent, the Company shall promptly notify the Receipholders thereof in the manner provided for in Article 12 thereof.
(c) Any corporation into or with which the Subscription Receipt Agent may be merged, consolidated or amalgamated, or to which all or substantially all of its corporate trust business is sold or is otherwise transferred, or any corporation resulting therefrom to which the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be the successor to the Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder without any further act on its part or any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor Subscription Receipt Agent under Subsection 11.7(a).

In case at any time any of the Subscription Receipt Certificates have not been countersigned, a Subscription Receipt Certificate may be countersigned either in the name of the predecessor Subscription Receipt Agent or new or successor subscription receipt agent, and in all such cases such
- 37 -
Subscription Receipt Certificates will have the full force provided in the Subscription Receipt Certificates and in this Agreement
11.8 Conflict of Interest
(a) The Subscription Receipt Agent represents to the Company and the Agents that to the best knowledge of the Subscription Receipt Agent, at the time of execution and delivery hereof no material conflict of interest exists between its role as a subscription receipt agent hereunder and its role in any other capacity and agrees that in the event of a material conflict of interest arising hereafter it will, within 30 days after ascertaining that it has such material conflict of interest, either eliminate the same or assign its appointment as subscription receipt agent hereunder to a successor Subscription Receipt Agent approved by the Company and meeting the requirements set forth in Subsection 11.7(a).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 11.8(a), if any such material conflict of interest exists or hereafter shall exist, the validity and enforceability of this Agreement and the Subscription Receipts shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason thereof.
(c) Subject to Subsection 11.8(a), the Subscription Receipt Agent, in its personal or any other capacity, may buy, lend upon and deal in securities of the Company and generally may contract and enter into financial transactions with the Company or any affiliated entity of the Company without being liable to account for any profit made thereby.

(A corporation governed by the laws of Ontario)
Certificate Number: [●]
Number of Subscription Receipts: [●]
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT [●] (the "holder") is the registered holder of Subscription Receipts specified above.
The Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt certificate (the "Certificate") are issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement (the "Agreement") dated March 26, 2026 among TelyRx Finco Inc. (the "Company"), TelyRx, Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord", and together with a syndicate of agents, the "Agents") and Odyssey Trust Company (the "Subscription Receipt Agent").
Capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the same meanings herein as in the Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein.
Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder:
(a) if the Escrow Release Time occurs at or before the Escrow Release Deadline, then each holder of Subscription Receipts shall automatically receive, without any further action required by such Receiptholder and without payment of any additional consideration, for each Subscription Receipt held by the Receiptholder, one Subscription Share, which is to be exchanged for one Resulting Issuer Share upon the Amalgamation;
(b) in the event that a Termination occurs, this Agreement and all issued and outstanding Subscription Receipts shall be automatically terminated and cancelled and each Receiptholder shall be entitled to receive out of the Escrowed Funds, an amount equal to the Subscription Price in respect of such holder's Subscription Receipts together with such holder's pro rata share of Earned Interest (as defined herein), less applicable withholding taxes, if any. To the extent that the Escrowed Funds are insufficient to refund to each holder of Subscription Receipts an amount equal to the aggregate Subscription Price of the Subscription Receipts held by them,
A-1
TelyRx shall be responsible and liable to the holders of Subscription Receipts, with no further recourse by the holders of the Subscription Receipts or the Agents against the Company, for any Shortfall and shall contribute such amounts as are necessary to satisfy any Shortfall such that each holder of Subscription Receipts will receive an amount equal to the aggregate Subscription Price for the Subscription Receipts held.
The holder acknowledges and agrees that certificates for the Subscription Shares will not be issued and that each Subscription Share issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts evidenced hereby is to be exchanged pursuant to the Definitive Agreement at the time of the Amalgamation for one Resulting Issuer Share, and the holder will receive certificates or evidence of electronic deposit thereof for such Resulting Issuer Shares. The holder hereby provides all required authorization and consents, if any, to complete the Amalgamation and all steps required to consummate the Reverse Takeover.
The Subscription Receipts represented hereby are issued under and pursuant to the Agreement. Reference is hereby made to the Agreement and any and all other instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto for a full description of the rights of the holders of the Subscription Receipts and the terms and conditions upon which such Subscription Receipts are, or are to be, issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Agreement and all instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto were herein set forth, and to all of which provisions the holder of these Subscription Receipts by acceptance hereof assents. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Agreement and this Certificate, the terms of the Agreement shall prevail.
The holding of the Subscription Receipts evidenced by this Certificate shall not constitute the holder hereof a shareholder of the Company or entitle such holder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as herein and in the Agreement expressly provided. The Agreement provides for adjustment in the number of Subscription Shares to be issued upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts, evidenced by this Certificate upon the occurrence of certain events set forth therein.
The holder of this Subscription Receipt Certificate is cautioned that in the event that the Subscription Receipts are deemed to be cancelled, a cheque will be mailed to the latest address of record of the registered holder.
The Agreement contains provisions making binding upon all holders of Subscription Receipts outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such provisions and by instruments in writing signed by the holders of a specified majority of the outstanding Subscription Receipts.
The Subscription Receipts evidenced by this Certificate are transferrable by the holder in accordance with section 2.13 of the Agreement and upon the due execution and delivery of the attached Form of Transfer.
The Subscription Receipts and the Subscription Shares issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Subscription Receipts have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or under the securities laws of any state of the United States and are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act. All or any portion of the Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate may not be offered, sold or pledged or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, only (A) to the Company, or (B) outside the United States to persons who are not U.S. persons in accordance with an applicable exemption under the U.S. Securities Act and in accordance with local laws and regulations. "United States" and "U.S. persons" are as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
This Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose whatever unless and until it has been countersigned by or on behalf of the Subscription Receipt Agent.
After the Escrow Release Time, this Certificate and all rights hereunder, other than the right to receive the Subscription Shares, will be void and of no further value or effect.
Time shall be of the essence hereof. This Certificate is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
