Bitcoin Well Inc.

Edmonton, Alberta
T6E 1Z4

Attention: Adam O'Brien, Chief Executive Officer

Haywood Securities Inc., as lead agent and sole bookrunner (“Haywood”) and Ventum Financial Corp. (collectively, the “Agents”), understand that Bitcoin Well Inc. (the “Corporation”) proposes to create, issue and sell on a best efforts private placement basis, up to $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible debenture units of the Corporation (the “Debenture Units” and each, a “Debenture Unit”). The Debenture Units will be offered at a price of $1,000 per Debenture Unit (the “Issue Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation of up to $2,000,000 pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set out herein (the “Offering”).

The Corporation hereby grants the Agents an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to offer for sale up to an additional $300,000 aggregate principal amount of Debenture Units (the “Additional Debenture Units”). The Over-Allotment Option is exercisable in whole or in part, by Haywood, on behalf of the Agents providing notice to the Corporation at any time up to 48 hours prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). All references herein to “Debenture Units” and “Offering” shall be deemed to include the Additional Debenture Units and the Over-Allotment Option, respectively.

The Agents understand that the Corporation will also offer and sell Debenture Units directly to purchasers at the Issue Price by way of non-brokered private placement concurrent with the Offering for gross proceeds to the Corporation of up to $900,000 (the “Non-Brokered Private Placement”), who will settle directly with the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the Agents undertake no obligation to the Corporation or to the purchasers under the Non-Brokered Private Placement, including any obligation to conduct a suitability review in respect of sales under the Non-Brokered Private Placement. The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the purchasers under the Non-Brokered Private Placement do not and will not have any recourse to or any rights against the Agents, and the Agents do not and will not have any liability whatsoever in respect of such sales.

Each Debenture Unit is comprised of: (i) one 8.0% unsecured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,000 (each, a “Debenture” and collectively, the “Debentures”) convertible into approximately 4,347 common shares in the capital of the Corporation (the “Debenture Shares”) representing a conversion price per Debenture Share of $0.23 (the “Conversion Price”); and (ii) 4,347 common share purchase warrants of the Corporation (a “Warrant”), each entitling the holder thereof to acquire one common share (a “Warrant Share”), at an exercise price per Warrant Share equal to $0.30, at any time up to the date that is 60 months following the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).

Each Debenture shall mature on the date that is 60 months from the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable semi-annually on the first Business Day (as hereinafter defined) in July and the first Business Day in January of each year, with the first interest payment to be made on July 2, 2025 (the “Interest Payment Dates”). The Corporation shall pay, on each Interest Payment Date, all interest in the form of common shares of the Corporation (the “PIK Interest Payment”) or in cash, at the sole discretion of the Corporation, on the outstanding principal amount of Debentures. In the event the Corporation elects to make a PIK Interest Payment, it shall deliver such number of Common


2

Shares (as hereinafter defined), within 10 Business Days (as hereinafter defined) of the Interest Payment Date, as is determined by dividing the accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the Interest Payment Date by the 10 day volume weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the Common Shares immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date.

At the Maturity Date, provided that no event of default has occurred and is continuing and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Debenture Indenture (as hereinafter defined), the Corporation may, at its sole discretion and on not more than 60 and not less than 40 day’s prior written notice, elect to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Debentures by issuing and delivering that number of Common Shares obtained by dividing the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures which have matured by 95% of the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) on the date immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Any accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be paid in cash or Common Shares, at the sole discretion of the Corporation by dividing such accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the Maturity Date by the 10-day VWAP of the Common Shares immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

If at any time after the Closing Date and subsequent to any customary hold period set out in NI 45-102 (as hereinafter defined), the VWAP of the Common Shares on the TSXV is greater than $0.32 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Corporation may, within 10 Business Days of the occurrence of such event, force the conversion of the Debentures by giving notice (the “Debenture Conversion Notice”) to the holders of the Debentures, and issuing a concurrent press release, and, in such case, the conversion date of the Debentures shall be the date specified by the Corporation in the Debenture Conversion Notice, provided such date shall not be less than 30 trading days following delivery of the Debenture Conversion Notice.

If at any time after the Closing Date and prior to the expiry date of the Warrants, the VWAP is greater than $0.42 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Corporation may, within 10 Business Days of the occurrence of such event, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice (the “Warrant Acceleration Notice”) to the holders of the Warrants, and issuing a concurrent press release, and, in such case, the expiry date of the Warrants shall be the date specified by the Corporation in the Warrant Acceleration Notice, provided such date shall not be less than 30 trading days following delivery of the Warrant Acceleration Notice.

If the Corporation at any time while the Debentures remain outstanding completes a Change of Control, (as hereinafter defined), the Corporation shall offer to purchase from the holders of the Debentures their Debentures, in whole or in part on the date that is thirty (30) days following the giving of notice of the Change of Control, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Change of Control Purchase Offer”). If 90% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding are tendered to the Corporation for purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Purchase Offer, the Corporation has the right upon 10 days’ written notice to redeem all the remaining outstanding Debentures.

The Corporation will satisfy fractional interests resulting from the conversion of any Debentures by issuing a cash payment to the holder of any such Debentures so converted equal to the market price of any fractional interest arising from the conversion of such Debentures. Upon conversion, holders will be eligible to receive accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the date of conversion, with such interest to be settled in cash or Common Shares at the sole discretion of the Corporation by dividing the accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the date of such conversion by the 10-day VWAP of the Common Shares immediately preceding the date of such conversion.

The Debentures and the Warrants will be governed by the terms and conditions set out in a convertible debenture indenture (the “Debenture Indenture”) and warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”),


3

respectively, to be entered into between the Corporation and Odyssey Trust Company, as debenture trustee (the "Debenture Trustee") and warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent"), respectively, on the Closing Date.

Upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Agents hereby agree to act, and upon acceptance hereof, the Corporation hereby appoints the Agents as the Corporation's exclusive Agents to offer for sale, by way of private placement, on a "best-efforts" agency basis, without underwriter liability, the Debenture Units to be issued and sold pursuant to the Offering and the Agents agree to arrange for purchasers of the Debenture Units in the Designated Jurisdictions (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, the Debenture Indenture and the Warrant Indenture (collectively, the "Indenture Documents") and applicable law.

It is further understood and agreed that the Corporation shall be entitled to introduce certain Purchasers to participate in the Offering (the "President's List"). The Agents may, in their sole discretion, refuse to process any subscription for a Purchaser on the President's List.

The payment of the principal and of interest thereon of the Debentures will be subordinated in right of payment, as shall be set forth in the Indenture Documents, to the prior payment in full of all secured indebtedness of the Corporation. The Debentures will rank pari passu with all existing subordinated debentures and all additional subordinated debentures issued by the Corporation from time to time. The Debentures will also be effectively subordinated to claims of creditors of the Corporation's subsidiaries except to the extent the Corporation is a creditor of such subsidiaries ranking at least pari passu with such other creditors.

The description of the Debentures and Warrants herein is a summary only and is subject to the specific attributes and detailed provisions of the (i) Debentures set forth in the Debenture Indenture and (ii) Warrants set forth in the Warrant Indenture. In the case of any inconsistency between the description of the Debentures or Warrants in this Agreement and their terms and conditions as set forth in the Debenture Indenture or Warrant Indenture, as applicable, the provisions of the Debenture Indenture or Warrant Indenture will govern.

The Debenture Units will be offered and sold pursuant to private placement exemptions from any prospectus requirements to accredited investors resident in the Qualifying Jurisdictions (as hereinafter defined); provided that, it is understood that no offering memorandum (as defined under applicable securities laws) shall be delivered to any prospective purchaser of Debenture Units in any of the Qualifying Jurisdictions.

(ii) the state of the financial markets in Canada or elsewhere is such that in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, the Debenture Units cannot be marketed profitably;

(iii) an order shall have been made or threatened to cease or suspend trading in the Common Shares or any other securities of the Corporation, or to otherwise prohibit or restrict in any manner the distribution or trading of the Common Shares, Debenture Units or any other securities of the Corporation, or proceedings are announced or commenced for the making of any such order by any securities regulatory authority or similar regulatory or judicial authority or the TSXV, which order has not been rescinded, revoked or withdrawn;

(v) there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, or condition or any action, law or regulation, inquiry, including, without limitation, terrorism, accident, pandemic (including, but not limited to, any material escalation in the severity of the ongoing Israel/Hamas and/or Israel/Hezbollah conflict and and/or the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine after the date hereof), natural disaster, public protest or major financial, political or economic occurrence of national or international consequence, or any action, government, law, regulation, inquiry or other occurrence of any nature, which, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, seriously adversely affects or involves, or may seriously adversely affect or involve, the financial markets in Canada or the U.S. or the business, operations or affairs of the Corporation or marketability of the Debenture Units or the Common Shares;

Any such termination shall not discharge or otherwise affect any obligations or liability of the Corporation provided herein or prejudice any other rights or remedies any party may have as a result of any breach, default or non-compliance by any other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event of any such termination, there shall be no further liability on the part of the Agents to the Corporation or on the part of the Corporation to the Agents except in respect of any liability which may have arisen prior to or which may arise after such termination under Section 12 and Section 14.

Section 11. Alternative Transaction

In the event the Corporation withdraws from the Offering after the date of this Agreement and before the Closing Date, with the sole purpose of completing an Alternative Transaction (as hereinafter defined) (which transaction is completed within 18 months of the date of withdrawal from the Offering), the Corporation shall pay to the Agents promptly upon closing the Alternative Transaction a fee equal to the maximum amount of fees otherwise payable under this agreement calculated on the basis of the maximum offering of Debenture Units proposed hereunder.

Section 12. Indemnification

The Corporation hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agents, each of the associates and affiliates of the Agents and each of the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, advisors and agents of the Agents and of each of the associates and affiliates of the Agents (such officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, advisors and agents are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Personnel" and the Agents, the associates and affiliates of the Agents and the Personnel are collectively referred to as the "Indemnified Persons" and individually as an "Indemnified Person") from and against any and all expenses, costs, losses, claims, actions, payments, damages and liabilities (including the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation (each an "Action") and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel that may be incurred in respect of receiving advice in connection with, or in investigating, defending or settling, any Action) of whatsoever nature or


39

kind, joint or several, to which any Indemnified Person may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under statute or common law or otherwise by reason of, in connection with, or insofar as such expense, cost, loss, claim, action, payment, damage or liability is caused by, results from, arises out of or is based upon, directly or indirectly, the engagement of the Agents hereunder, the provision of services by the Agents hereunder or otherwise in connection with any matter referred to in, or related to, this Agreement; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall have determined that:

(a) the Indemnified Person has been grossly negligent or dishonest, has been guilty of willful misconduct or has committed a fraudulent act in the course of rendering such services or has materially breached this Agreement; and

(b) the expense, cost, loss, claim, action, payment, damage or liability in respect of which indemnification is claimed was directly caused or occasioned by the gross negligence, dishonesty, willful misconduct, fraud or material breach referred to in clause (a) above.

If for any reason (other than the occurrence of any of the events referred to in the clause above), the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or, while available, is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Person harmless, then the Corporation shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such expense, cost, loss, claim, action, payment, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other hand but also the relative degrees of fault of the Corporation and the Indemnified Person, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, provided that in any event the Corporation shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of such expense, cost, loss, claim, action, payment, damage or liability any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Person from the Corporation hereunder. Subject to the exceptions outlined in (a) and (b) above, the Corporation hereby agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to the Corporation or any associate or affiliate thereof or to any of the officers, directors, holders of securities or creditors of the Corporation or of any associate or affiliate thereof in respect of any Action and hereby waives any right to contribution which the Corporation may have against any Indemnified Person from the Corporation. The Corporation hereby waives any right which the Corporation may have of first requiring any Indemnified Person to proceed or enforce any right, power, remedy or security or to claim payment from any other person before claiming under the indemnity contained in this Section 12.

In case any Action is brought against an Indemnified Person or an Indemnified Person has received notice of the commencement of any investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Corporation, the Indemnified Person will give the Corporation prompt written notice of any such Action of which the Indemnified Person has knowledge and the Corporation will undertake the investigation and defense thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Person, including the prompt employment of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Persons affected and the payment of all expenses. The omission to so notify the Corporation shall not relieve the Corporation of any liability which the Corporation may have to any Indemnified Person hereunder provided that any such delay in or failure to give notice as herein required does not materially prejudice the defence of the Action and does not result in any material increase in the liability which the Corporation would otherwise have under the indemnity contained herein had the Indemnified Person not so delayed in giving, or failing to give, the notice herein required.

No admission of liability nor settlement, compromise or termination of any Action shall be made without the Corporation's consent and the consent of the Indemnified Persons affected; such consents not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding that the Corporation will undertake the investigation and defence of any Action, an Indemnified Person will have the right to employ separate counsel with respect to any


40

Action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Person unless:

(a) the payment of such expenses has been authorized in writing by the Corporation;

(b) the Corporation has not assumed the defense of the Action within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the Action;

(c) the named parties to any such Action include both the Corporation and the Indemnified Person and the Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel to the Indemnified Person in writing that there is a conflict of interest between the Corporation and the Indemnified Person; or

(d) there are one or more defenses available to the Indemnified Person which are different from or in addition to those available to the Corporation;

in which case such fees and expenses of such counsel to the Indemnified Person will be for the Corporation's account. The rights accorded to the Indemnified Persons hereunder shall be in addition to any rights an Indemnified Person may have at common law or otherwise.

The Corporation hereby acknowledges that Haywood acts as trustee for all of the other Indemnified Persons of the covenants and obligations of the Corporation contained in this Section 12 with respect to such Indemnified Persons and Haywood hereby accepts such trust and agrees to hold such covenants and obligations on behalf of itself and the other Indemnified Persons.

The indemnity and contribution obligations of the Corporation contained herein shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any liability which the Corporation may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to all Indemnified Persons and shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the Corporation and of each of the Indemnified Persons, as the case may be.

The indemnity provided in this Section 12 shall not be limited to or otherwise affected by any other indemnity obtained from any other person in respect of any matter specified in this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until all possible liability arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been extinguished by operation of law, provided, however that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to "double recovery" in respect of any Action.

Section 13. Advertisements

The Corporation shall, at Haywood's (on behalf of the Agents) request, issue a press release announcing the Offering, include a reference to Haywood and its role in any such release or communication, and ensure that any press release concerning the Offering complies with applicable law, including U.S. Securities Law restrictions in respect of general solicitation, general advertising and directed selling efforts. If the Offering is successfully completed, the Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Agents will be permitted to publish, at their own expense, public announcements or other communications relating to its services in connection with the Offering as it considers appropriate subject to compliance with applicable Securities Laws.


41

Section 14. Expenses

The Corporation will pay all expenses and fees in connection with the Offering, including, without limitation, all expenses of or incidental to the creation, issue, sale or distribution of the Debenture Units; the fees and expenses of the Corporation’s legal counsel; all costs incurred in connection with the preparation of documents relating to the Offering; and all expenses and fees incurred by the Agents which shall include the reasonable fees of the Agents’ legal counsel, subject to a maximum of $50,000 for the Agents’ Canadian counsel, and subject to a maximum of US$15,000 for the Agents’ US counsel, exclusive of disbursements and applicable taxes. All documented reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Agents or on their behalf in connection with the Offering shall be payable by the Corporation as set forth in this Section 14 herein or immediately upon receiving an invoice therefor from Haywood and shall be payable whether or not the Offering is completed.

Section 15. Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. The parties irrevocably attorn to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Alberta, which will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any matter arising out of this Agreement.

Section 16. Survival of Warranties, Representations, Covenants and Agreements

Except as expressly set out herein, all warranties, representations, covenants and agreements of the Corporation and the Agents herein contained or contained in documents submitted or required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and, notwithstanding such Closing or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents or the Purchasers with respect thereto, shall continue in full force and effect for a period of three years following the Closing Date. For certainty, the provisions contained in this Agreement in any way related to the indemnification of the Agents by the Corporation or the contribution obligations of the Agents or those of the Corporation shall survive and continue in full force and effect, indefinitely, subject only to the applicable limitation period prescribed by law. In this regard, the Agents shall act as trustees for the Purchasers and accept these trusts and shall hold and enforce such rights on behalf of the Purchasers.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Corporation

The Corporation represents, warrants, acknowledges, covenants and agrees with the Agents that:

  1. The Corporation is, and as of the Closing Date will be, a “foreign private issuer” as such term is defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act and the Corporation reasonable

believes that at the commencement of the Offering there was and will be on the Closing Date no Substantial U.S. Market Interest in any securities in the same class of securities as the Securities.

  1. The Corporation acknowledges that the Securities have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and may be offered and sold only in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. Except with respect to sales of the Debenture Units by the Corporation to U.S. Purchasers solicited by the Agents through a U.S. Affiliate in reliance upon available exemptions from registration under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable securities laws of any state of the United States, neither the Corporation nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on any of their behalf (other than the Agents, the U.S. Affiliates, or any Selling Firm, or any person acting on their behalf, as to whom the Corporation makes no representation, warranty, acknowledgement, covenant or agreement), has made or will make: (A) any offer to sell, or any solicitation of an offer to buy, any Debenture Units in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons; or (B) any sale of Debenture Units unless, at the time the buy order was or will have been originated, the purchaser is (i) outside the United States, not a U.S. Person and not acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person, or (ii) the Corporation, its affiliates, and any person acting on any of their behalf (other than the Agents, the U.S. Affiliates, or any Selling Firm, or any person acting on their behalf, as to whom the Corporation makes no representation, warranty, acknowledgement, covenant or agreement) reasonably believe that the Purchaser is outside the United States, not a U.S. Person and not acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person.

  2. Neither the Corporation nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on any of their behalf (other than the Agents, the U.S. Affiliate, or any Selling Firm, or any person acting on their behalf, as to whom the Corporation makes no representation, warranty, acknowledgement, covenant or agreement), has engaged or will engage in any Directed Selling Efforts, or has taken or will take any action that would cause the exemption afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act or the exclusion afforded by Rule 903 of Regulation S, to be unavailable for offers and sales of the Debenture Units.

  3. None of the Corporation, any of its affiliates or any person acting on any of their behalf (other than the Agents, the U.S. Affiliate, or any Selling Firm, or any person acting on their behalf, as to whom the Corporation makes no representation, warranty, acknowledgement, covenant or agreement) has offered or will offer to sell, or has solicited or will solicit offers to buy, any of the Debenture Units in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons, by means of any form of General Solicitation or General Advertising or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale of the Debenture Units in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons.

  4. Neither the Corporation nor any person acting on behalf of the Corporation has, within six months prior to the commencement of the Offering, sold, offered for sale or solicited any offer to buy any of the Corporation's securities, and will not do so for a period of six months following the completion of this Offering, in a manner that would be integrated with the offer and sale of the Debenture Units and would cause the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act to become unavailable with respect to the offer and sale of the Debenture Units.

  5. The Corporation will, within prescribed time periods, prepare and file any forms or notices required under the U.S. Securities Act or applicable securities laws of any state of the United States in connection with the offering of the Debenture Units in the United States.


  1. None of the Corporation, its affiliates or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Agents, the U.S. Affiliates, or any Selling Firm, or any person acting on their behalf, as to whom the Corporation makes no representation, warranty, acknowledgement, covenant or agreement) will (i) take an action that would cause the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the U.S. Securities Act to be unavailable for the conversion of Debentures into Underlying Shares, and (ii) pay or give any commission or other remuneration, directly or indirectly, for soliciting the conversion of Debentures into Underlying Shares within the meaning of Section 3(a)(9) of the U.S. Securities Act.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Agents
