Dear Sirs:

Equity Investment in PesoRama Inc. ("PesoRama") in connection with Business Re: Combination with Skyscape Capital Inc. ("Skyscape")

Further to our engagement with Skyscape pursuant to our letter dated November 2, 2020 (the "Original LOI"), we are now writing to both Skyscape and PesoRama to update our proposal to provide financing to both companies in connection with their proposed business combination transaction (the "Business Combination") pursuant to an amalgamation agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement"). The Business Combination is to be the "qualifying transaction" of Skyscape under applicable TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") policies.

This letter of intent sets forth certain non-binding understandings and certain binding agreements between Fundamental, Skyscape and PesoRama with respect to a financing transaction proposed to be made in connection with the Business Combination as described below.

Since the date of the Original LOI, we have continued our work on the proposed financing and remain highly enthusiastic about the prospect of completing the financing to support the completion of the Business Combination.

Fundamental believes that it is an ideal strategic investor to assist with the completion of the Business Combination and the continued growth and expansion of PesoRama's business in Mexico. Based on our understanding of PesoRama's business, we believe that our experienced team can assist the management teams of both Skyscape and PesoRama in completing the Business Combination and providing a lead strategic investment that will position the business of the combined entity resulting from the Business Combination (the "Resulting Issuer") for success going forward.
