Dear Sirs:

(collectively with Canaccord, the "Agents") understand that Bayshore Minerals Incorporated ("Bayshore") intends to create, issue and sell, in one or more tranches, up to 11,111,111 subscription receipts of Bayshore (each, a "Subscription Receipt"), without giving effect to the Agents' Option (as defined below), having the terms described herein, at a price of $0.90 (the "Offering Price") per Subscription Receipt, for aggregate gross proceeds to Bayshore of up to $10,000,000 (the "Offering").

In addition, in connection with the Offering, Bayshore hereby grants the Agents an option (the "Agents' Option") to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional 1,666,666 Subscription Receipts on the same terms and for additional aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,499,999. The Agents' Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, by the Agents in their sole discretion, until the Closing Date (as defined below). All references to the Subscription Receipts shall be deemed to include any Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Agents' Option.

The Subscription Receipts will be created and issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") among Bayshore, Canaccord and Endeavor Trust Corporation, appointed as subscription receipt agent pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"), to be dated as of the Closing Date.

The Subscription Receipts are being issued in connection with the proposed RTO (as defined below) involving Bayshore, Acquireco (as defined below), and Freeform Capital Partners Inc. ("Freeform"), being a "capital pool" company listed on the TSXV (as defined below), pursuant to the Definitive Agreement (as defined below). Prior to completion of the RTO, and subject to the receipt of all necessary TSXV approvals, it is contemplated that Freeform will complete the Name Change (as defined below). Pursuant to the RTO and in addition to the transactions contemplated to be completed under the Offering, among other things: (i) Acquireco and Bayshore will complete the Amalgamation (as defined below), pursuant to which Acquireco will amalgamate with Bayshore under the BCBCA (as defined below); (ii) securityholders of Bayshore will receive securities of the Resulting Issuer (as defined below) in exchange for the securities of Bayshore held by such persons. The RTO and the transactions contemplated thereby will be subject to the approval of the TSXV and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and closing conditions customary in transactions of such nature.

At the Closing Time, if the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement have been complied with to the satisfaction of Canaccord (on behalf of the Agents) or waived by Canaccord (on behalf of the Agents), among other things, the Agents will deliver the Net Proceeds (as defined below) to the Subscription Receipt Agent to be deposited and held in escrow by the Subscription Receipt Agent and shall be invested pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, until the earlier of: (i) satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below) and the Escrow Release (as defined below), or (ii) the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined below).

Pursuant to and in accordance with the Subscription Receipt Agreement, and provided the Escrow Release Conditions have been satisfied or waived prior to the Escrow Release Deadline (as defined below) and, upon receipt of proper notice thereof in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall immediately release and pay to Bayshore (the "Escrow Release") an amount equal to the Escrowed Funds (as defined below), less the remaining 50% of the Agents' Fee (as defined below), and any interest earned thereon, held by the Subscription Receipt Agent.

Upon the Escrow Release, each Subscription Receipt will be converted and will entitle the holder thereof to receive, without payment of any additional consideration or further action on the part of the holder, and subject to adjustment (in certain circumstances), one (1) Bayshore Unit (as defined below), and each Bayshore Unit will be subsequently automatically exchanged, without payment of any additional consideration or further action on the part of the holder, for one (1) Resulting Issuer Unit (as defined below) in connection with the Amalgamation. Each Resulting Issuer Unit shall consist of one (1) Resulting Issuer Share (as defined below) and one-half of one (0.5) Resulting Issuer Warrant (as defined below). The Resulting Issuer Warrants will be issued under a warrant indenture (the "Warrant Indenture") among Bayshore, the Resulting Issuer, and a warrant agent to be determined (the "Warrant Agent"), and such other parties, if any, as the parties reasonably determine to be appropriate. Each Resulting Issuer Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to receive upon exercise, and subject to adjustments in certain circumstances, one Resulting Issuer Warrant Share (as defined below) at a price of $1.20 per Resulting Issuer Warrant Share, for a period of 36 months following the Escrow Release. The Resulting Issuer Warrants will be callable by the Resulting Issuer, at the discretion of the Resulting Issuer, should the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the Resulting Issuer Shares on the TSXV exceed $2.00 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, at any time during the term of the Resulting Issuer Warrants ("Call Trigger"). Following a Call Trigger, the Resulting Issuer may give notice in writing ("Call Notice") to the holders of Subscription Receipt Warrants that any Subscription Receipt Warrant that remains unexercised by the holder thereof shall expire 30 days following the date on which the Call Notice is given.

If: (i) the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied prior to the Escrow Release Deadline, (ii) prior to the Escrow Release Deadline, the Definitive Agreement is terminated; or (iii) prior to the Escrow Release Deadline, Bayshore advises Canaccord or publicly announces that it does not intend to satisfy one or more of the Escrow Release Conditions (each such event being a "Termination Event" and the date upon which such event occurs, the "Termination Date"), then as soon as practicable following the Termination Event and in any event within three Business Days (as defined below) following the Termination Date, Bayshore shall deliver a notice to: (a) Canaccord (on behalf of the Agents), and (b) the Subscription Receipt Agent, following which the Subscription Receipt Agent is to return, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, to each Subscription Receipt holder their respective aggregate Offering Price plus a pro rata share of interest actually earned thereon, less applicable withholding taxes, if any, and the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled without any further action on the part of the holders thereof. Bayshore covenants to make up any shortfall in the Escrowed Funds (the "Shortfall Amount") so that Subscription Receiptholders receive a full refund of their aggregate Offering Price, plus a pro rata share of interest actually earned thereon, less applicable withholding taxes, if any.

The Subscription Receipts will be offered to Purchasers (as defined below) resident in the Selling Jurisdictions (as defined below) within Canada by way of a private placement to "accredited investors" as such term is defined in NI 45-106 (as defined below). The Subscription Receipts may also be offered to Purchasers who are Qualified Institutional Buyers (as defined below) in accordance with Schedule "A" attached hereto, which forms part of this agreement. The Subscription Receipts may be distributed in Selling Jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States in such jurisdictions as Bayshore and the Agents may agree, where they may be lawfully sold on a basis exempt from the prospectus, registration and similar requirements of any such jurisdiction.

In consideration of the Agents' services to be rendered in connection with the Offering, Bayshore agrees to pay the Agents' Fee and issue the Broker Warrants to the Agents on the Closing Date, all as more particularly set out in this Agreement.

Bayshore agrees that the Agents will be permitted to appoint, at their sole expense, other registered dealers or other dealers duly qualified in their respective jurisdictions, in each case acceptable to Bayshore, acting reasonably, as its agents to assist with the Offering in the Selling Jurisdictions and that the Agents may determine the remuneration payable by the Agents to such other dealers appointed by them, provided that such remuneration shall not in any way increase the aggregate Agents' Fee payable to the Agents under this Agreement

The terms and conditions of the Subscription Receipts are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the provisions of the Subscription Receipt Agreement shall prevail.

13. Indemnity

13.1 The Companies hereby agree to indemnify and save harmless to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each of the Agents, their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, and shareholders (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" and individually, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, damages (other than contingent or consequential damages), 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 insofar as the Claim relates to, is caused by, results from, arises out of or is based upon, directly or indirectly, this services provided under this Agreement whether performed before or after the execution of the Agreement by the Companies, and to reimburse each Indemnified Party forthwith, upon demand, for any documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any Claim.

13.2 If and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final non-appealable judgment 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 material breach of this Agreement, breach of applicable Laws, 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 Companies to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this indemnity in respect of such Claim. The Companies agree to waive any right the Companies 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.

13.3 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 Companies, the Indemnified Party will give the Companies prompt written notice of any such Claim of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and the Companies will 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. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not relieve the Companies of their obligation of indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the failure to so provide such notice shall actually and materially damage the Companies.

13.4 No admission of liability and no settlement, compromise or termination of any Claim, or investigation shall be made without the consent of the Companies and the consent of the Indemnified Parties affected, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding that the Companies will undertake the investigation and defence of any Claim, the Indemnified Parties will have the right to employ one 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 counsel has been authorized in writing by the Companies;
  • (b) the Companies have not assumed the defence of the action within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the claim;
  • (c) the named parties to any such claim include the Companies, 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 Companies and any Indemnified Party; or
  • (d) there are one or more defences available to the Indemnified Parties which are different from or in addition to those available to the Companies, as the case may be;

in which case such fees and expenses of such counsel to the Indemnified Parties will be for the account of the Companies. 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.

13.5 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall apply to all reasonable and documented expenses (including legal expenses), losses, claims and liabilities that the Indemnified Parties may incur as a result of any action, suit, proceeding or claim that may be threatened or brought against the Companies.

13.6 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 Companies agree 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 Companies or the shareholders of the Companies, and its 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 Companies 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.

13.7 The Companies hereby constitute Canaccord as trustee for each of the other Indemnified Parties of the covenants of the Companies under this indemnity with respect to such persons and Canaccord agrees to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons.

13.8 The Companies agree that, in any event, no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (either direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Companies, or any person asserting claims on their behalf or in right for or in connection with the services provided under this Agreement, except to the extent that any losses, expenses, claims, actions, damages or liabilities incurred by the Companies are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment (in a proceeding in which an Indemnified Party is named as a party) that has become non-appealable to have resulted from a material breach of this Agreement, breach of applicable Laws, gross negligence or fraudulent act of such Indemnified Party.

13.9 The Companies also agree that if any action, suit, proceeding or claim shall be brought against, or an investigation commenced in respect of the Companies and any of the Indemnified Parties and personnel of such Indemnified Party shall be required to participate or respond in respect of or in connection with the services provided under this Agreement, each such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith and the Companies will reimburse the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses as may be incurred by the Indemnified Parties and their personnel in connection therewith, including fees and disbursements of such Indemnified Party's counsel.

13.10 The indemnity and contribution obligations of the Companies shall be in addition to any liability which the Companies may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties, 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 Companies, and any Indemnified Party. The foregoing provisions shall survive the completion of professional services rendered under this Agreement or any termination of the authorization given under this Agreement.
