This Term Sheet is a legally binding obligation between the parties, and the first step towards a definitive agreement to be negotiated and executed by the parties, with such execution subject to the parties’ internal approval process being completed and Northstar’s committed and available of funding for the Calgary Facility (defined below).

1 Parties Northstar Clean Technologies (“Northstar”) and McAsphalt
Industries Ltd. (“McAsphalt”) [each a “Party” or together the
Parties”]
2 Northstar Facility
Northstar has developed a proprietary clean technology
that enables it to extract liquid asphalt (the “Product”) as
well as aggregate, fiber, and fiberglass strands
(“Constituent Components”) from asphalt shingles that
would otherwise be sent to a landfill.

Northstar will be building and operating an asphalt
shingle reprocessing facility in Rocky View County near
Calgary, Alberta (the “Calgary Facility”) through its
subsidiary, Empower Environmental Solutions Calgary
Ltd.

Calgary Facility will be functional and ready to deliver
Product as per the Commercial Operation Date.
3 Term Five-year term which shall be renewed automatically for
succeeding terms of three (3) years each unless either Party
gives written notice to the other Party at least one hundred
and eighty days (180) prior to the expiration of any Term of its
intention not to renew (“Term” includes both the initial term
and anyrenewal terms)
4 Price of Product The price of Northstar’s Product, per metric tonne, paid by
McAsphalt (“Purchase Price”) will be calculated per Appendix
A. All prices in this Term Sheet are in Canadian dollars unless
otherwise stated.

5 Product Specification The Product produced at the Calgary Facility will meet agreed
specifications (the “Product Specification”).

Product Specification to be determined and defined in
Appendix B

Product Specification QA / QC to be defined and detailed
per Appendix B
6 Commercial Operation Date The Term of the take or pay period does not start until it is
agreed, in writing by both parties, that the Calgary Facility
Infrastructure (defined in Appendix C) is fully commercially
operational (“Commercial Operation Date”).
The definitive agreement will govern the design, construction
and commissioning phase of the Calgary Facility and Calgary
Facility Infrastructure (defined in Appendix C). Northstar will
regularly give updates to McAsphalt on the schedule of the
project and will promptly inform McAsphalt of any event or
circumstances that would delay its progress.
7 Commissioning Period The period before the Commercial Operation Date (the
Commissioning Period”)

McAsphalt to pay for sample Product and meet mutually
agreed scheduled deliveries.

Northstar will provide timely updates to McAsphalt as to
the progress of the commissioning of the Calgary Facility
and Calgary Facility Infrastructure (defined in Appendix
C).
8 Product Ownership and
Delivery location

Ownership and risk of loss for Northstar Product remains
at all times with Northstar.
9 Nominations Schedule
Northstar will provide McAsphalt with its forecast
Products delivery nominations and schedule for each
calendar year (the “Annual Production Nomination”) no
later than the immediately preceding November 30.
Northstar will also provide McAsphalt with its updated
forecast Products delivery nominations, schedule, and
deadlines for each calendar quarter (the “Quarterly
Production Nomination”) no later than thirty (30) days
prior to the beginning of such quarter. Both Parties
acknowledge and agree that actual production and sale
volumes and schedules may vary significantly from
forecasts and so McAsphalt personnel and Northstar
personnel will interact frequently to optimize
management of actual volumes of Products.

Northstar will notify McAsphalt promptly of any actual or
anticipated delays in supplyingthe Products.
10 Planned and Unplanned
Maintenance

Planned maintenance of the Calgary Facility will be
incorporated into the Annual Production Nomination

2


Unplanned facility outages will be communicated
immediately to McAsphalt by Northstar. Northstar will
not be accountable for any costs incurred by McAsphalt
for failure to deliver Blended Product during any plant
outages.
11 Take or Pay
Northstar will not sell any of its Product produced from
the Calgary Facility to any other Party, except for third-
party sales, as described in Appendix C.

McAsphalt will purchase all Product produced at the
Calgary Facility except for third-party sales, as described
in Appendix C.

However, if McAsphalt fails to take the Product according
to the agreed schedule, or is rendered unable to take the
Product for any reason whatsoever (save force majeure
or a cause attributable to Northstar), for a period longer
than three (3) consecutive days from the agreed schedule
and causes the Calgary Facility to shut down for any
reason, then McAsphalt will pay to Northstar a fixed and
sole remedy daily fee ( the“Daily Take or Pay Fee”)
equal to the average of the previous 10 days production
before its failure to take the Product times the Purchase
Price until McAsphalt resumes full offtake of the Blended
Product, plus any reasonable and agreed start-up costs
required to re-instate full production.

Reciprocally, a “Failure to Deliver Fee” to apply if
Northstar fails to deliver Products and/or Blended
Products as per the quantities/schedule agreed among
the parties (same temperament in case of Force Majeure
or cause attributable to McAsphalt). The Failure to
Deliver Fee is equal to the difference between the
Purchase Price and the price that McAsphalt pays to
replace the Product, with a maximum payment by
Northstar of$200,000.00 for anyone incident.
12 Logistics For clarity, Northstar and McAsphalt will work together to
determine the most effective and efficient logistics to support
the agreed terms, including blending, storage and
transportation.

government agency engagement with respect to the Calgary
Facility – to include but not limited to:

Calgary Economic Development (“CED”)

Alberta Environment and Parks (provide information,
as required in regulatory process)

City of Calgary (provide information, as required in
permitting process)

14 Lifecycle analysis and carbon
credits
• Northstar and McAsphalt will work together, where it
makes sense after discussion between the Parties, to
develop a lifecycle analysis (the“Calgary Facility LCA”)of
the carbon dioxide, water and land savings that is achieved
through Northstar’s proprietary clean technology to
reprocess the Product in comparison to the current case in
Calgary, where asphalt shingles are not reprocessed
through Northstar’s proprietary clean technology.
• The Parties will agree, in writing, the amount to be paid
and the resources to be committed by each Party, to the
development of a lifecycle analysis of the Product,
including the lifecycle impacts of the Product’s use by
McAsphalt.
• The same will be agreed, where it makes sense after
discussion between the Parties, with respect to the
development of a protocol to create carbon credits. Should
carbon credits be created, the Sustainability Premium will
be calculated based on the joint contribution to the
protocol development.

insurance
16 Indemnification Mutual indemnification clause, no liability for indirect,
consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or incidental
