ARTICLE 4 – ADJUSTMENT

4.1 Definitions

In this Article 4, references to “record date” refer to the particular time on such relevant date stipulated for such event and otherwise refers to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on such date.

4.2 Adjustment

The rights attached to the Subscription Receipts may be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:

(ii) reduces, combines, consolidates or changes its outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, or

(any of such events in Sections 4.2(a)(i), 4.2(a)(ii) and 4.2(a)(iii) being called a “Common Share Reorganization”), then the number of Underlying Shares with respect to each Subscription Receipt will be adjusted as of the record date at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the Common Share Reorganization by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares theretofore obtainable immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which will be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization.

- 26 - 

(b) If at any time after the issuance of the Subscription Receipts and before the earlier of the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions or the Escrow Release Deadline there is a reclassification of Common Shares outstanding or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities (other than a Common Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation (including a business combination or exchange of like effect) with or into the Corporation or any other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another entity, or a record date for any of the foregoing events occurs (any of such events being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), any Holder who is entitled to receive Underlying Shares pursuant to Subscription Receipts then held after the record date or effective date of such Capital Reorganization shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept in lieu of the number of Underlying Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled, the aggregate number of Common Shares, other securities or other property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Underlying Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled with respect to the Subscription Receipts subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Section 4.2, provided however, that no such Capital Reorganization shall be carried into effect unless all necessary steps have been taken to so entitle the Holders. If determined appropriate by the Corporation, acting reasonably, appropriate adjustments shall be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.2 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4.2 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may be reasonable in relation to any Common Shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable pursuant to the terms of any Subscription Receipt. Any such adjustments shall be made by and set forth in terms and conditions supplemental hereto approved by the Corporation, acting reasonably and absent manifest error, shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be the appropriate adjustment.

(c) If at any time after the issuance of the Subscription Receipts and prior to the earlier the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions and the Escrow Release Deadline, the Corporation issues or distributes to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares, cash or securities of the Corporation, including rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or property or assets, including cash or evidences of indebtedness, other than as a result of a Common Share Reorganization or a Capital Reorganization, or a record date for any of the foregoing events occurs, the Holders will be entitled to receive, and will receive for the same aggregate consideration payable, if any, in addition to the number of Underlying Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled, the kind and amount of Common Shares, cash or other securities or property which result from such issue or distribution as if, on the record date at which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose thereof, such Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled.

ARTICLE 5 – INVESTMENT OF ESCROWED FUNDS AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST

5.1 Deposit of Escrowed Proceeds in Escrow

The Corporation shall direct that the Co-Lead Agents, on its behalf and on behalf of the other Agents, deliver or cause to be delivered the Escrowed Proceeds to the Subscription Receipt Agent by way of electronic wire transfer in immediately available funds. The Subscription Receipt Agent shall immediately place such funds in an interest-bearing segregated bank account in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5. The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that it is a condition of the payment by the Holders of the aggregate Subscription Price that the Escrowed Funds are held by the Subscription Receipt Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5. The Corporation further acknowledges and confirms that it has no interest in the Escrowed Proceeds or in the Earned Interest accrued thereon unless and until the applicable Escrow Release Notice is delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent. The Subscription Receipt Agent shall retain the Escrowed Proceeds and the Earned Interest accrued thereon for the benefit of the holders of the Subscription Receipts and, upon the delivery of the applicable Escrow Release Notice set out in Section 3.1 hereof, to the Subscription Receipt Agent, retroactively for the benefit of the Corporation and the Agents in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5.

- 28 - 

5.2 Investment of the Escrowed Proceeds

Until released in accordance with this Agreement, the Escrowed Proceeds shall be kept segregated in an interest-bearing account of the Subscription Receipt Agent with a Canadian chartered bank and upon receipt of a written direction of the Corporation, shall be deposited in one or more short term obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Government of Canada, a Province of Canada or a Canadian chartered bank or such other approved investments (collectively, “Permitted Investments”). Any direction delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent must be received by the Subscription Receipt Agent no later than 9:00 a.m. (Toronto time) or any later time as may be agreed to by the Corporation and the Subscription Receipt Agent, acting reasonably, on the day on which the Permitted Investment is to be made. Any direction received by the Subscription Receipt Agent after such time or received on a day which is not a Business Day will be handled on a commercially reasonable efforts basis and may result in the Permitted Investment being made on the next Business Day.

At any time and from time to time, the Corporation will be entitled to direct the Subscription Receipt Agent by Written Request of the Corporation (i) not to make any investment specified in the notice and/or (ii) to withdraw all or any of the Escrowed Funds that may then be invested specified in the Written Request of the Corporation and re-invest such amount in one or more Permitted Investments as specified in such Written Request of the Corporation. With respect to any Written Request of the Corporation relating to a withdrawal, the Subscription Receipt Agent will endeavor to withdraw such amount specified in the notice as soon as reasonably practicable and the Corporation acknowledges and agrees that such specified amount remains at the sole risk of the Corporation prior to and after such withdrawal.

All interest shall be calculated daily and credited to the account(s) within five (5) Business Days of each month-end or sooner, as applicable, and shall become a part of the Escrowed Funds (and any losses, if any, on such investments shall be debited to the Escrowed Funds). Any bank charges and similar fees shall be charged to the Corporation. The Subscription Receipt Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution of the Escrowed Funds which may result from deposit made pursuant to this Article 5, including any losses resulting from a default by the grantor of the investment or any credit losses (whether or not resulting from such a default), except for losses resulting from its own gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith. In making any payment, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall not be liable for any loss sustained from the early termination of any investment if such early termination is required to enable the Subscription Receipt Agent to make a payment.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Subscription Receipt Agent will have acted prudently in investing the Escrowed Funds in any Permitted Investment, and that the Subscription Receipt Agent is not required to make any further inquiries in respect of any such investment.

5.3 Segregation of the Escrowed Funds

(e) the form of the instrument of proxy and the manner in which the instrument of proxy must be executed; and

(f) generally for the calling of meetings of the Holders and the conduct of business thereat.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.8(a), if any such material conflict of interest exists or hereafter shall exist, the validity and enforceability of this Agreement and the Subscription Receipts shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason thereof.

(b) The Subscription Receipt Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Subscription Receipt Agent, in its sole judgment, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation or economic sanctions, regulation or guideline.

Certificate No. [●] Certificate for                                                                                                                      Subscription Receipts, each entitling the holder to acquire one (1) Underlying Share (subject to adjustment as provided for in the Agreement (as defined below) CUSIP:     ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ISIN:        CA92339J1158

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT for value received

(the “Holder”) is the registered holder of Subscription Receipts specified above. The Subscription Receipts represented by this certificate (the “Subscription Receipt Certificate”) are issued pursuant to a Subscription Receipt Agreement (the “Subscription Receipt Agreement”) dated the 12th day of February, 2026 among Verdera Energy Corp. (“the Corporation”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities Inc. and SCP Resource Finance LP (together, the “Co-Lead Agents”) and Odyssey Trust Company (the “Subscription Receipt Agent”). Capitalized terms used in the Subscription Receipt Agreement have the same meaning herein as therein, unless otherwise defined.

The sale of the Subscription Receipts is being completed in connection with the Proposed Transaction.

Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions at or before the Escrow Release Deadline, the Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate will entitle the holder to receive, without payment of additional consideration or further action, one fully paid and non-assessable common share in the capital of the Corporation (the “Underlying Shares”) on the Release Date and the holder will be a holder of the Underlying Shares issuable pursuant to such Subscription Receipts without the taking of any further action by the holder or payment of additional consideration.

On and after the date of issuance of the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate, the holder will have no rights hereunder except to the Underlying Shares issued to such holder.

Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, each Underlying Share issued upon deemed conversion of the Subscription Receipts will then be automatically exchanged for one Resulting Issuer Share pursuant to the Proposed Transaction without any further action required by the Holder.

Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the “Release Date” is the date, or the Business Day following such date, on which the Subscription Receipt Agent receives the Escrow Release Notice in the form required under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, which notice will inform the Subscription Receipt Agent of the satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions and will instruct the Subscription Receipt Agent to pay the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

In the event that (i) the Corporation or POCML 7 Inc. advises the Co-Lead Agents and the Subscription Receipt Agent or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions at or before the Escrow Release Deadline, or (ii) the Escrow Release Notice is not delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent at or before the Escrow Release Deadline, the Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate shall, without any action on the part of the holder (including the surrender of this Subscription Receipt Certificate), be terminated and cancelled by the Subscription Receipt Agent as of the Termination Time. In such event, the holder shall thereafter have no rights hereunder except to receive the amount equal to the aggregate Subscription Price for the Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate (together with a pro rata share of Earned Interest thereon (less any withholding tax required to be withheld in respect thereof)) in accordance with the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The Subscription Receipts, the Underlying Shares issuable upon deemed conversion of the Subscription Receipts, and the Resulting Issuer Shares, have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or the securities laws of any state of the United States and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the 1933 Act and may be offered, sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, only pursuant to a registration statement effective under the 1933 Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder and similar exemptions under all applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

Reference is hereby made to the Subscription Receipt Agreement and any and all other instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto for a full description of the rights of the Holders and the terms and conditions upon which such Subscription Receipts are, or are to be, issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Subscription Receipt Agreement and all instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto were herein set forth, and to all of which provisions the Holder of these Subscription Receipts by acceptance hereof assents. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement and this Subscription Receipt Certificate, the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

The Subscription Receipt Agreement provides for adjustment in the number of Underlying Shares to be issued for Subscription Receipts in certain events therein set forth. The Subscription Receipt Agreement contains provisions making binding upon all Holders of Subscription Receipts outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such Holders held in accordance with such provisions therein set forth.

The holding of the Subscription Receipts evidenced by this Subscription Receipt Certificate shall not constitute the Holder hereof a shareholder of the Corporation or the Resulting Issuer or entitle such Holder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as expressly provided herein and in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The Subscription Receipts evidenced by this certificate may be transferred on the register kept at the offices of the Subscription Receipt Agent by the registered holder hereof or its legal representatives or its attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Subscription Receipt Agent, only in compliance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement and upon payment of the charges provided for in the Subscription Receipt Agreement and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Subscription Receipt Agent may prescribe. The transfer register shall be closed at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date of a Termination Event.

Time shall be of the essence hereof. This Subscription Receipt Certificate is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein.
