On December 29, 2017, Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc.

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. David agreed to serve as the Company’s President. In consideration thereof, the Company agreed to (i) pay Mr. David a monthly salary of $8,000, and (ii) grant Mr. David a 5-year option (the “Option”) to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock at an exercise price of $0.42 per share. The Option vested on December 29, 2017.

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, the Company may terminate Mr. David at any time, with or without Cause (as defined below); provided, however, that if the Company terminates Mr. David without Cause:

On December 29, 2017, the Company granted the Option to Mr. David pursuant to that certain Option to Purchase Common Stock (the “Option Agreement”). The Option Agreement provides for the cashless exercise of all or a portion of the Option, or exercise through payment of the exercise price in cash.
