To whom this may concern:

Canaccord Genuity Corp. and National Bank Financial Inc. (collectively, the "Lead Underwriters"), together with BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Eight Capital, CIBC World Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (Canada), Inc., Desjardins Securities Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., Cormark Securities Inc., Haywood Securities Inc., Industrial Alliance Securities Inc., Paradigm Capital Inc., PI Financial Corp, Raymond James Ltd., Sprott Capital Partners LP, TD Securities Inc., Clarus Securities Inc. and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (collectively, together with the Lead Underwriters, the "Underwriters"), understand that Osisko Development Holdings Inc. (the "Company") proposes to create, issue and sell an aggregate of 13,350,000 Subscription Receipts (as defined herein), on an underwritten private placement basis, at the Subscription Price (as defined herein).

The Subscription Receipts will be duly and validly created pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") to be entered into by the Company, Barolo, the Lead Underwriters (for and on behalf of the Underwriters) and TSX Trust Company, as subscription receipt agent (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"), to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined herein). Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined herein) and without payment of additional consideration or further action on the part of the holders of the Subscription Receipts, one Unit (as defined herein) of the Company, with each Unit being composed of one Unit Share (as defined herein), and one-half of one Unit Warrant (as defined herein). Each whole Unit Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Warrant Share (as defined herein), at a price of $10.00 per Warrant Share at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date which is 18 months following the effective date of the Amalgamation (as defined herein). The Warrants will be issued pursuant to a warrant indenture entered into by the Company and the Warrant Agent (as defined herein) on the Closing Date.

The gross proceeds from the Offering (as defined herein) (the "Escrowed Proceeds") will be deposited at the Closing Time (as defined herein) in escrow with the Subscription Receipt Agent pending satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions, in accordance with the provisions of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. Provided that the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied or waived prior to the Escrow Release Deadline (as defined herein), the Subscription Receipt Agent will release the Escrowed Funds (as defined herein) to the Company (less the Commission (as defined herein) and the Underwriters' pro rata portion of interest earned on the Escrowed Proceeds, which amounts shall be released to the Underwriters), and each Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted into one Unit without payment of additional consideration and without any further action by the holder thereof.

In the event that: (i) the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied prior to the Escrow Release

Deadline; or (ii) the Amalgamation Agreement is terminated at any earlier time; or (iii) the Company advises the Lead Underwriters, on behalf of the Underwriters, or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions (any of the foregoing, a "Termination Event"), the Subscription Receipt Agent will return to each holder of Subscription Receipts, as soon as practicable following the Termination Event, an amount equal to the aggregate Subscription Price of the Subscription Receipts held by such holder and their pro rata portion of interest earned on the Escrowed Proceeds (less applicable withholding tax, if any), and in those circumstances, the Company shall be responsible and liable to the holders of Subscription Receipts for any shortfall between the aggregate Subscription Price paid by the original holders of such Subscription Receipts and the Escrowed Funds.

Upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Underwriters hereby severally, and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, agree to purchase from the Company, and by the acceptance of this Agreement the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters, at the Closing Time, 13,350,000 Subscription Receipts at the Subscription Price for aggregate gross proceeds of $100,125,000. The Offering will be completed on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from prospectus requirements under Applicable Securities Laws (as defined herein). Offers and sales of Subscription Receipts in the United States may only be made to persons who are Qualified Institutional Buyers (as defined herein) pursuant to Rule 144A (as defined herein). The Underwriters and the Company acknowledge that Schedule A forms part of this Agreement. Offers and sales of Subscription Receipts may also be made in certain offshore jurisdictions pursuant to relevant prospectus or registration exemptions in accordance with Applicable Securities Laws. The parties agree that the Offering may be completed in one or more tranches.

The Underwriters have been granted an option (the "Option"), which Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, at the Underwriters' sole discretion and without obligation, to purchase from the Company up to 3,333,335 additional Subscription Receipts at the Subscription Price, for additional aggregate gross proceeds of up to $25,000,012.50. The Option shall be exercisable by the Underwriters at any time prior to the Closing Time, after which time the Option shall be void and of no further force and effect.

If exercised, any Subscription Receipts issued upon exercise of the Option shall be deemed to form part of the Offering for the purposes hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the "Offering", or "Subscription Receipts" shall include any Subscription Receipts issued in connection with the exercise of the Option.

In consideration of the services to be rendered by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, the Company agrees to pay to the Underwriters the Commission as set out in Section 16. The Commission and the Underwriters' pro rata portion of interest earned on the Escrowed Proceeds (if any) shall be released to the Underwriters out of the Escrowed Funds on the date on which the Escrow Release Conditions have been satisfied. The obligation of the Company to pay the Commission shall arise on the date on which the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied, and the Commission shall be fully earned by the Underwriters upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions.

The Company agrees that the Underwriters 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 the Company, acting reasonably, as their agents to assist with the Offering in the Selling Jurisdictions and that the Underwriters may determine the remuneration payable by the Underwriters to such other dealers appointed by them.

It is understood that at or prior to the Closing Time, the Underwriters may arrange for substituted purchasers (the "Substituted Purchasers") in the Selling Jurisdictions (as defined herein), to purchase the Subscription Receipts directly from the Company and each such Substituted Purchaser shall be entitled to the benefits of such subscription therefor as the initial beneficial purchaser thereof, it being understood that the Underwriters may not arrange for Substituted Purchasers of the Subscription Receipts for sales made to Qualified Institutional Buyers pursuant to Rule 144A.

In the event the Termination Rights are exercised by an Underwriter, there shall be no further liability on the part of that Underwriter to the Company or on the part of the Company to that Underwriter except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may arise after such exercise of the Termination Right in respect of acts or omissions prior to such termination or under Sections 13 and 14.1 of this Agreement.

13. Indemnity

  • 13.1 The Company (which shall become the obligation of the Resulting Issuer on closing of the RTO Transaction) and Osisko (each, an "Indemnitor") hereby agree to indemnify and hold the Underwriters and the directors, officers, employees, agents and shareholders of the Underwriters (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" and each, an "Indemnified Party") harmless from and against any and all expenses, losses (other than loss of profits), claims, actions, damages or liabilities (collectively, "Losses"), whether joint or several (including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings or claims), and the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel that may be incurred in advising with respect to and/or defending any claim that may be made against any Indemnified Party (collectively, the "Claims"), to which the any Indemnified Party may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under any statute or common law or otherwise insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, upon the performance of professional services rendered to the Indemnitor by the Indemnified Party hereunder or otherwise in connection with the Offering, 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 determine that:

    • (a) the Indemnified Party has been negligent or dishonest, engaged in willful misconduct or have committed any fraudulent act in the course of such performance; and
    • (b) the Claims as to which indemnification is claimed, were directly caused by the negligence, dishonesty or fraud referred to in (b).
  • 13.2 If for any reason (other than the occurrence of any of the events itemized in (a) or (b) of Section 13.1), the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, the Indemnitor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Parties as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party, as well as any relevant equitable considerations, provided that the Indemnitor shall, in any event, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees received by the Indemnified Party, if any, under this Agreement.

  • 13.3 The Indemnitor agrees that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Indemnitor and/or an Indemnified Party by any governmental commission or regulatory authority or any stock exchange or other entity having regulatory authority, either domestic or foreign, shall investigate the Indemnitor and/or the Indemnified Party shall be required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of the performance of professional services rendered to the Indemnitor by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Indemnified Party for time spent by its directors, officers, employees, agents and shareholders) and out-of-pocket expenses incurred at competitive rates by such directors, officers, employees, agents and shareholders in connection therewith shall be paid by the Indemnitor as they occur, provided that in no circumstances will the Indemnitor be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one legal counsel for all of the Indemnified Parties, unless:

    • (a) the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Parties have mutually agreed to the retention of more than one legal counsel for the Indemnified Parties; or
    • (b) the Indemnified Parties have or any of them has been advised in writing by legal counsel that representation of all of the Indemnified Parties by the same legal counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
  • 13.4 Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any legal proceeding against the Indemnified Parties or after receipt of notice of the commencement of any investigation, which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Indemnitor, the Indemnified Parties will notify the Indemnitor in writing of the commencement thereof. Failure to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from liability except and only to the extent that the failure materially prejudices the Indemnitor. Throughout the course of such proceeding or investigation, the Indemnified Parties will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnitor, will keep the Indemnitor advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Indemnitor all significant actions proposed.

  • 13.5 The Indemnitor shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in and, to the extent it may wish to do so, assume the defence of any Claim, provided such defence is conducted by counsel of good standing acceptable to the Underwriters. Upon the Indemnitor notifying the Underwriters in writing of its election to assume the defence and retaining counsel, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by it in connection with such defence. If such defence is not assumed by the Indemnitor, the Indemnified Parties, throughout the course thereof, shall provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnitor, shall keep the Indemnitor advised of the progress thereof and shall discuss with the Indemnitor all significant actions proposed. If such defence is assumed by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor throughout the course thereof will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Underwriters, will keep the Underwriters advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Underwriters all significant actions proposed.

  • 13.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, any Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Indemnitor's expense, to separately retain counsel of such Indemnified Party's choice, in respect of the defence of any Claim if: (i) the employment of such counsel has been

authorized by the Indemnitor; or (ii) the Indemnitor has not assumed the defence and employed counsel therefor promptly after receiving notice of such Claim; or (iii) counsel retained by the Indemnitor or the Indemnified Party has advised the Indemnified Party that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate for any reason, including for the reason that there may be legal defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor or that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party or the subject matter of the Claim may not fall within the indemnity set forth herein (in any of which events the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume or direct the defence on such Indemnified Party's behalf), provided that the Indemnitor shall not be responsible for the fees or expenses of more than one legal firm in any single jurisdiction for all of the Indemnified Parties.

  • 13.7 No admission of liability and no settlement of any Claim shall be made by the Indemnitor or the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the other such party affected.
  • 13.8 The Indemnitor hereby acknowledges that the Underwriters act as trustee for the other Indemnified Parties of the Indemnitor's covenants under the indemnity described in this Section 13 and the Underwriters agrees to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons.
  • 13.9 The indemnity and contribution obligations of the Indemnitor under this Section 13 shall be in addition to any liability which the Indemnitor may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to 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. The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the completion of professional services rendered under this Agreement.

14. Expenses

  • 14.1 The Company will pay all reasonable expenses and fees in connection with the Offering, including, without limitation (i) all expenses of or incidental to the creation, issue, sale, and distribution of the Offered Securities; (ii) all costs incurred in connection with the preparation of documentation relating to the Offering; (iii) the reasonable fees and expenses of the Underwriters' legal counsel, subject to a maximum of $150,000 (not inclusive of taxes and disbursements, which shall be paid in addition to such maximum amount); and (iv) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (plus applicable taxes) of the Underwriters, in each case incurred by Underwriters or on their behalf (collectively, the "Underwriters' Expenses").

16. Underwriters' Consideration

  • 16.2 The Commission will be paid to the Underwriters upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement and will be paid (together with any interest accrued and actually earned thereon), as applicable, in accordance with the terms of such agreement. The obligation of the Company to pay the Commission shall arise upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions and shall be netted out of the Escrowed Funds and released to the Underwriters, or as the Lead Underwriters may otherwise direct, by the Subscription Receipt Agent.

17. Underwriters' Business

  • 17.1 The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters may be engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities, and providing investment banking, investment management, financial and financial advisory services. In the ordinary course of their trading, brokerage, investment and asset management and financial activities, the Underwriters and their Affiliates may hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect or recommend transactions, for their own account or the accounts of their customers, in debt or equity securities or loans of the Company or any other company that may be involved in any transaction with the Company. Each Underwriter and its Affiliates may also provide a broad range of normal course financial products and services to its customers (including, but not limited to banking, credit derivative, hedging and foreign exchange products and services), including companies that may be involved in any transaction with the Company.
  • 17.2 The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Subscription Receipts pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the Subscription Price of the Subscription Receipts and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm's length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand; (ii) in connection with the Offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction, the Underwriters are and have been acting solely as principals and are not the agents or fiduciaries of the Company or its shareholders, creditors, employees or any other party; (iii) the Underwriters have not assumed and will not assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favour of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriters have advised or are currently advising the Company on other matters) and the Underwriters do not have any obligations to the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from

For greater certainty, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions contained in this Agreement in any way related to the indemnification of the Underwriters by the Company or the contribution obligations of the Underwriters or those of the Company shall survive and continue in full force and effect, indefinitely, subject only to the applicable limitation period prescribed by law.
