SusGlobal Energy Corp. (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") and its
subsidiaries SusGlobal Energy Canada Corp., SusGlobal Energy Canada I Ltd.,

Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Company deposited into escrow $917,364

indemnity agreement described below. On release to Alterna of the letter of
credit No. 78 dated May 20, 2020, in the sum of $203,163.53 (CAD$276,830.63) the
escrow will be released. Alterna has deposited into escrow an authorization
empowering the Company to discharge all security and registrations relating to
the debt on its behalf, such that Alterna will no longer have any registered
security interests in relation to the Company. When the escrowed property is
released, the Company will no longer have any indebtedness to Alterna (or Pace).
