The Co-Lead Underwriters have been granted an option (the "Underwriters' Option", and together with the Underwritten Offering, the "Offering"), which may be exercised, in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of Canaccord Genuity on behalf of the Co-Lead Underwriters, to purchase up to an additional 1,627,476 common shares of the Corporation (the "Additional Shares") at the Offering Price. The Underwriters' Option may be exercised in accordance with Section 4(4) thereof. The Underwritten Shares and the Additional Shares are collectively referred to herein as the "Offered Shares".
The Offering will be completed in the Selling Jurisdictions (as defined herein) pursuant to the exemption (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption") from the prospectus requirement set out in Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), as amended and supplemented by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "Order"). With respect to sales pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, it is understood that no offering memorandum (as defined under applicable Securities Laws (as defined herein)) other than the LIFE Offering Document (as defined herein), will be delivered to prospective investors and that the Corporation will take all steps necessary to comply with the applicable provisions of NI 45-106, including filing and posting of an offering document on Form 45-106F19 in respect of the Offering (the "LIFE Offering Document"), issuing and filing a news release announcing the Offering (the "Prescribed News Release") and filing a Form 45-106F1, in each case within the prescribed time period. Prior to any solicitation to purchase the Offered Shares by either the Corporation or the Co-Lead Underwriters pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the Corporation will have: (a) issued and filed the Prescribed News Release; (b) filed the LIFE Offering Document with the Regulatory Authorities (as defined herein); and (c) posted the completed LIFE Offering Document on its website. The Corporation will bear sole responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the LIFE Offering Document, except any portions thereof that solely pertain to, and are provided in writing by, the Co-Lead Underwriters.
The Co-Lead Underwriters may arrange for substituted purchasers (the "Substituted Purchasers") for the Offered Shares, where such Substituted Purchasers are resident in the Selling Jurisdictions. Each Substituted Purchaser will purchase the Offered Shares at the Offering Price, and to the extent that Substituted Purchasers purchase Offered Shares, the obligations of the Co-Lead Underwriters to do so will be reduced by the number of Offered Shares purchased by the Substituted Purchasers from the Corporation.
No Offered Shares shall be sold by the Co-Lead Underwriters to purchasers in the United States or who are, or are acting for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons.
The Co-Lead Underwriters may offer the Offered Shares at a price less than the Offering Price as described in further detail in Section 16, in compliance with Canadian Securities Laws (as defined herein).

Section 12 Indemnification and Contribution
(1) The Corporation and each of the Subsidiaries or affiliated companies, as the case may be (collectively, the "Indemnitor") hereby agree to indemnify and save harmless to the maximum extent permitted by law, each of the Co-Lead Underwriters, their subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, agents, advisors and shareholders/unitholders (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" and individually, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, damages, obligations, liabilities or expenses of whatsoever nature or kind (excluding loss of profits) whether joint or several, including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings, investigations or claims and the fees, disbursements and taxes of their counsel in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim that may be made or threatened against any Indemnified Party or in enforcing this indemnity (each a "Claim" and, collectively, the "Claims") to which an Indemnified Party may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under statute or common law, or otherwise, insofar as the Claims relate to, are caused by, result from, arise out of or are based upon, directly or indirectly, the performance of professional services rendered by the Indemnified Parties in connection with the Offering and hereunder or otherwise in connection with the matters referred to in this Agreement, whether before or after the execution of this Agreement, and to reimburse each Indemnified Party forthwith, upon demand, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any Claim.
(2) If and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final non-appealable judgement in a proceeding in which an Indemnified Party is named as a party, determines that a Claim was caused by or resulted from an Indemnified Party's gross negligence or fraudulent act, this indemnity shall cease to apply to such Indemnified Party in respect of such Claim and such Indemnified Party shall reimburse any funds advanced by the Corporation to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this indemnity in respect of such Claim. The Corporation agrees to waive any right the Corporation might have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or claim payment from any other person before claiming under this indemnity.
(3) If any Claim is brought against an Indemnified Party or an Indemnified Party has received notice of the commencement of any investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Indemnitor, the Indemnified Party will give the Corporation prompt written notice of any such Claim of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and the Indemnitor shall have the right (but not the obligation), to undertake the investigation and defence thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt employment of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Parties affected and the payment of all expenses; provided, however, that:
(a) such defence shall be conducted through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably;
(b) no settlement of any such legal proceeding may be made by the Indemnitor without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably;
(c) none of the Indemnified Parties shall be liable for any settlement of any such legal proceeding unless it has consented in writing to such settlement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; and
(d) if such defence is assumed by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor throughout the course thereof will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnified Party, will keep the Indemnified Party advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Indemnified Party all significant actions proposed.
- 26 -
(4) If an Indemnified Party is undertaking the investigation and defence of any Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Indemnitor, the Indemnified Party shall provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnitor, keep the Indemnitor advised of the progress thereof and discuss with the Indemnitor all significant actions proposed.
(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the failure of an Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnitor of a Claim shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligation of indemnification hereunder.
(6) No admission of liability and no settlement, compromise or termination of any Claim, or investigation shall be made without the consent of the and the consent of the Indemnified Parties affected, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(7) Notwithstanding that the Indemnitor will undertake the investigation and defence of any Claim, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in each applicable jurisdiction with respect to such Claim and participate in the defence thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Parties, unless:
(a) employment of such separate counsel has been authorized by the Indemnitor;
(b) the Indemnitor has not assumed the defence of the Claim and employed counsel therefore within 30 days after receiving notice of the Claim;
(c) the named parties to any such Claim include the Corporation, and any of the Indemnified Parties, and the Indemnified Parties shall have been advised by counsel to the Indemnified Parties that there may be a conflict of interest between the Corporation and any Indemnified Party;
(d) the subject matter of the action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation may not fall within the indemnity set forth herein; or
(e) there are one or more defences available to the Indemnified Parties which are different from or in addition to those available to the Corporation, as the case may be,
in which case such reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to the Indemnified Parties will be for the account of the Corporation.
(8) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume or direct the defence on the Indemnified Parties' behalf in the circumstances described in Section 12(7)(c), (d), or (e).
(9) If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable (other than in accordance with the terms hereof) to the Indemnified Parties (or any of them) or insufficient to hold them harmless, the Indemnitor agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Corporation or the Corporation's shareholders, and their constituencies on the one hand and the Indemnified Parties on the other, but also the relative fault of the parties and other equitable considerations which may be relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor will in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claim any amount in excess of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Parties hereunder.
(10) The Corporation hereby constitutes Canaccord Genuity as trustee for each of the other Indemnified Parties of the covenants of the Indemnitor under this indemnity with respect to such persons and Canaccord Genuity agrees to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons.
(11) The Corporation agrees that, in any event, no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (either direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Corporation or any person asserting claims on their behalf or
- 27 -
in right for or in connection with the performance of services rendered by the Co-Lead Underwriters under this Agreement, except to the extent that any losses, expenses, claims, actions, damages or liabilities incurred by the Corporation are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgement (in a proceeding in which an Indemnified Party is named as a party) that has become non-appealable to have resulted from the material breach of the Agreement, breach of applicable laws, gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraudulent act of such Indemnified Party.
(12) The Corporation agrees to reimburse the Co-Lead Underwriters monthly for the time spent by the Co-Lead Underwriters' personnel in connection with any Claim at their normal per diem rates. The Corporation also agrees that if any action, suit, proceeding or claim shall be brought against, or an investigation commenced in respect of the Corporation and the Co-Lead Underwriters (or any member of the syndicate of underwriters) and personnel of the Co-Lead Underwriters (or any member of the syndicate of underwriters) shall be required to testify, participate or respond in respect of or in connection with the performance of the services rendered by the Co-Lead Underwriters (or any member of the syndicate of underwriters), each such Co-Lead Underwriter shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith and the Corporation will reimburse the Co-Lead Underwriters (or any member of the syndicate of underwriters) monthly for the time spent by its personnel in connection therewith at their normal per diem rates together with such disbursements and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as may be incurred, including fees and disbursements the Co-Lead Underwriter's counsel.
(13) The rights accorded to the Indemnified Parties hereunder shall be in addition to any rights the Indemnified Parties may have at common law or otherwise.
(14) The indemnity and contribution obligations of the Indemnitors shall be in addition to any liability which the Indemnitor may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Indemnitor, and any Indemnified Party.
(15) The foregoing provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the completion of professional services rendered in connection with this Agreement, or any termination of this Agreement.
Section 13 Expenses and Commission
(1) Whether or not the Offering shall be completed, all costs and expenses of or incidental to the sale and delivery of the Offered Shares and of or incidental to all matters in connection with the transactions herein shall be borne by the Corporation, including all expenses of or incidental to the issue, sale or distribution of the Offered Shares, including expenses related to road shows and marketing activities, the fees and expenses of the Corporation's counsel, auditors and independent experts, all costs incurred in connection with the preparation of documents relating to the Offering, the reasonable expenses and fees incurred by the Co-Lead Underwriters in entering into and performing their obligations under this Agreement, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Canadian legal counsel to the Co-Lead Underwriters (which shall not exceed $70,000, exclusive of disbursements and taxes, which, for greater certainty, shall be borne by the Corporation) and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any other advisors retained by the Co-Lead Underwriters with the prior written consent of the Corporation, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such reimbursable expenses shall be payable on the Closing Date, except that if the Offering is not completed, then such expenses shall be paid within 30 days of receipt by the Corporation of invoices from the Co-Lead Underwriters.
(2) It is anticipated that the services provided by the Co-Lead Underwriters in connection herewith will not be subject to the Goods and Services Tax assessed under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) on the basis that any taxable supplies provided will be incidental to the exempt financial services provided. In the event, however, that the Canada Revenue Agency (or other taxing authority) assesses or propose to assess on the basis that the Goods and Services Tax, or any other value-added tax, is exigible on any or all of the Underwriting Fee or the reimbursement of the expenses of the Co-Lead Underwriters, the Corporation agrees to forthwith pay the amount of such tax, together with any interest, penalties or other additions thereto, upon
- 28 -
the request of the Co-Lead Underwriters, directly to the Co-Lead Underwriters or to the Canada Revenue Agency, as applicable.
(3) The Co-Lead Underwriters acknowledge and agree that all selling concessions, costs, expenses and payments related to, incurred by, or in connection with, the sale of any Offered Shares to any retail investment advisors will be shared equally between the Co-Lead Underwriters.
Section 14 All Terms to be Conditions
(1) The Corporation agrees that the conditions contained in this Agreement will be complied with insofar as the same relate to acts to be performed or caused to be performed by the Corporation and each of the Corporation and the Co-Lead Underwriters will use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such conditions to be complied with. Any breach or failure to comply with any of the conditions set out in this Agreement in all material respects that are in the control of the Corporation and cannot be reasonably cured to the satisfaction of the Co-Lead Underwriters, in their sole discretion, prior to the Time of Closing shall entitle the Co-Lead Underwriters to terminate their obligation to purchase the Offered Shares, by written notice to that effect given to the Corporation at or prior to the Time of Closing. It is understood that the Co-Lead Underwriters may waive, in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to the rights of the Co-Lead Underwriters in respect of any such terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach or noncompliance, provided that to be binding on the Co-Lead Underwriters any such waiver or extension must be in writing.
Section 15 Termination by the Co-Lead Underwriters in Certain Events
(1) Each of the Co-Lead Underwriters shall be entitled to terminate and cancel all of their obligations under this Agreement, by written notice to that effect given to the Corporation prior to the Time of Closing if:
(a) Restrictions on Distribution. Any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (whether formal or informal), including matters of regulatory transgression or unlawful conduct, is commenced, announced or threatened or any order is made or issued under or pursuant to any federal, provincial, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality (including without limitation the TSXV or any securities regulatory authority) against the Corporation or its directors, officers or principal shareholders where wrongdoing is alleged or there is any enactment or change in any law, rule or regulation, or the interpretation or administration thereof, which, in the reasonable opinion of the Co-Lead Underwriters (or any of them), could operate to prevent, restrict or otherwise seriously adversely affect the distribution or trading of the Offered Shares.
(b) Material Change. There shall occur or come into effect any material change in the business, affairs, financial condition, capital or control of the Corporation or either of the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any change in any material fact or new material fact, or there should be discovered any previously undisclosed material fact which, in each case, in the reasonable opinion of the Co-Lead Underwriters, has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the market price or value of the Offered Shares.
(c) Disaster Out. There should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, or condition including, without limitation, terrorism, war, plague, epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, accident or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence, or any action, government, law, regulation, inquiry or other occurrence of any nature, which, in the sole opinion of the Co-Lead Underwriters (or any one of them), seriously adversely affects or involves, or may seriously adversely affect or involve, the financial markets in Canada or the United States or the business, operations or affairs of the Corporation or the Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the market price or value of the Offered Shares.
- 29 -
(d) Breach. The Corporation is in breach of any material term, condition or covenant of this Agreement that may not be reasonably expected to be remedied to the satisfaction of the Co-Lead Underwriters (or any of them), in their sole discretion, prior to the Time of Closing or any representation or warranty given by the Corporation becomes or is false in any material respect.
(e) Cease Trade. An order shall have been made or threatened to cease or suspend trading in the Offered Shares, or to otherwise prohibit or restrict in any manner the distribution or trading of the Offered Shares, or actions 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.
(2) If this Agreement is terminated by any of the Co-Lead Underwriters pursuant to Section 15(1), there shall be no further liability on the part of such Co-Lead Underwriter or of the Corporation to such Co-Lead Underwriter, except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Section 12 and Section 13.
(3) The right of the Co-Lead Underwriters or any of them to terminate their respective obligations under this Agreement is in addition to such other remedies as they may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act of the Corporation in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement may be terminated at any time at or prior to the Time of Closing upon the mutual written agreement of the Corporation and the Co-Lead Underwriters if the parties hereto decide not to proceed with the Offering.
Section 16 Obligations of the Co-Lead Underwriters to be Several
(1) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the obligation of the Co-Lead Underwriters to purchase the Offered Shares shall be several and not joint nor joint and several. The percentage of the Offered Shares to be severally purchased and paid for by each of the Co-Lead Underwriters shall be as follows:
| Canaccord Genuity Corp. | 60% |
|---|---|
| Raymond James Ltd. | 40% |
(2) Without affecting the firm obligation of the Co-Lead Underwriters to purchase from the Corporation all of the Offered Shares at the Offering Price in accordance with this Agreement, after the Co-Lead Underwriters have made reasonable effort to sell all of the Offered Shares at the Offering Price, the Offering Price may be decreased by the Co-Lead Underwriters and further changed from time to time to an amount not greater than the Offering Price specified herein. Such decrease in the Offering Price will not affect the Underwriting Fee to be paid by the Corporation to the Co-Lead Underwriters, and it will not decrease the amount of the net proceeds of the Offering to be paid by the Co-Lead Underwriters to the Corporation, before deducting expenses of the Offering. The Co-Lead Underwriters will inform the Corporation if the Offering Price is decreased.

Re: Gatekeeper Systems Inc. (the "Corporation")
Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
Reference is made to an underwriting agreement dated as of November 13, 2025 (the "Underwriting Agreement") among the Corporation and Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord Genuity") and Raymond James Ltd. (together with Canaccord Genuity, the "Co-Lead Underwriters") as co-lead underwriters and joint bookrunners, which provides for the issuance and sale of up to 6,427,476 common shares of the Corporation (the "Offered Shares") at a price of $2.10 per Offered Share for gross proceeds of up to $13,497,699.60, pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption from the prospectus requirement set out in Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as amended and supplemented by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "Offering").
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Underwriting Agreement.
In consideration of the benefit that the Offering will confer upon the undersigned, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees not to, and will not permit any of the undersigned's affiliates to, for a period of 90 days from the Closing Date (the "Lock-Up Period"), directly or indirectly, offer, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, contract to sell, lend, swap, or enter into any other agreement to transfer the economic consequences of, or otherwise dispose of or deal with, or publicly announce any intention to offer, sell, contract to sell, grant or sell any option to purchase, hypothecate, pledge, transfer, assign, purchase any option or contract to sell, lend, swap or enter into any agreement to transfer the economic consequences of, or otherwise dispose of or deal with, whether through the facilities of a stock exchange, by private placement or otherwise, any equity securities of the Corporation or other securities of the Corporation convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable to acquire, equity securities of the Corporation, in each case whether now owned or hereafter acquired, directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Locked-Up Securities"), unless the undersigned first obtains the prior consent of Canaccord Genuity, on behalf of the Co-Lead Underwriters, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the undersigned's Locked-Up Securities even if such Locked-Up Securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Locked-Up Securities or with respect to any
security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from any of the Locked-Up Securities.
The undersigned hereby authorizes the Corporation during the Lock-Up Period to cause any transfer agent for the Locked-Up Securities to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the share register and other records relating to, Locked-Up Securities for which the undersigned is the registered or beneficial holder.
It is agreed that this Agreement shall neither limit nor restrict the ability of the undersigned to sell, transfer, or dispose of any and all of the Locked-Up Securities pursuant to a bona fide written offer (whether solicited or unsolicited) by a person unaffiliated with the Corporation made to every holder of common shares of the Corporation on the same basis, whether by way of take-over bid, tender offer, plan of arrangement, or other business combination or similar transaction ("Transaction"), provided that if such Transaction is not completed, the provisions of this Agreement remain in force and effect.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. This Agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.
This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signatures or by e-mail transmission of a .pdf file or similar means of recorded electronic transmission (including DocuSign), each of which shall be effective as original signatures.
