STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Securities legislation requires the disclosure of the compensation received by each "Named Executive Officer, ("Named executive officers" or "NEOs") of the Company for the most recently completed financial year, namely December 31, 2020. "Named Executive Officer" means each of the following individuals: (i) each CEO; (ii) each CFO; (iii) the most highly compensated executive officer other than CEO and CFO at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was more than \$150,000; (iv) each individual who would be a named executive officer under (iii) but for the fact that the individual was not an executive officer of the company, and was not acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year.

The following discussion describes the significant elements of the compensation of our NEOs, namely:

  • Connor Cruise, Interim CEO and Chair;
  • Daniel Nelson, CGO and former CEO; and
  • Mike Best, CFO

Overview

We operate in a dynamic and rapidly evolving market. To succeed in this environment and to achieve our business and financial objectives, we need to attract, retain and motivate a highly talented team of executive officers.

Our executive officer compensation program is designed to achieve the following objectives:

  • (a) provide market-competitive compensation opportunities in order to attract and retain talented, high-performing and experienced executive officers, whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;
  • (b) motivate our executive officers to achieve our business and financial objectives;
  • (c) align the interests of our executive officers with those of our Shareholders by tying a meaningful portion of compensation directly to the long-term value and growth of our business; and
  • (d) provide incentives that encourage appropriate levels of risk-taking by our executive officers and provide a strong pay-for-performance relationship.

We offer our executive officers cash compensation in the form of base salary and an annual bonus, and equity-based awards. We provide base salary to compensate employees for their day-to-day responsibilities, at levels that we believe are necessary to attract and retain executive officer talent. While we have determined that our current executive officer compensation program is effective at attracting and maintaining executive officer talent, we evaluate our compensation

{1}------------------------------------------------

practices on an ongoing basis to ensure that we are providing market-competitive compensation opportunities for our executive team. We have adopted the Share Compensation Plan to allow for a variety of equity-based awards that provide different types of incentives to be granted to our directors, executive officers, employees and consultants. We believe that equity-based compensation awards motivate our executive officers to achieve our business and financial objectives, and also align their interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders. The Share Compensation Plan will facilitate granting of stock options ("Options") and restricted shares units ("RSUs"). See "Executive Compensation – Principal Elements of Compensation – Share Compensation Plan".

Compensation Committee

The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to assist the Board in overseeing compensation and succession planning matters, including the Board's responsibilities of: (a) appointing, compensating and evaluating and planning for the succession of officers and other senior management personnel of the Company; (b) approving the Company's annual compensation budget; and (c) reviewing and approving matters related to the Company's compensation; fulfilling the responsibilities in Section III of this Charter.

Composition

The Compensation Committee is composed of a minimum of three members. Every Compensation Committee member must be a director of the Company. The majority of the Compensation Committee members must be "independent" as such term is defined in applicable securities legislation. All members of the Committee shall meet all requirements and guidelines for compensation committee service as specified in applicable securities and corporate laws and the rules of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE").

Skills and experience that enable the Compensation Committee to make decisions on the suitability of the company's compensation policies and practices include:

  • Connor Cruise – Chair Mr. Cruise has served as President of Cruise Capital Ltd., a venture capital consulting firm, since March, 2017 and Vice-President of Intrynsyc Capital Corporation, a registered Exempt Market Dealer, since December 2017.
  • David (Cy) Scott Mr. Scott has served as CEO and Co-Founder of Headset Inc., a leading SaaS platform designed to help retailers, processors and growers make informed decisions about the emerging cannabis industry, based on real-time cannabis retail data, since July 2015.
  • Murray Hinz Mr. Hinz has served as President of Marazul Consulting since January 2007; Senior Vice-President of Finance and Administration for Parvus Therapeutics from April 2017 to present; Advisor to Senior Executives for CanElson Drilling from July 2013 to March 2015.

Principal Elements of Compensation

The compensation of our executive officers includes three major elements: (i) base salary; (ii) short-term incentives, consisting of an annual bonus; and (iii) long-term equity incentives, consisting of Options and RSUs granted from time to time under the Share Compensation Plan.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Perquisites and personal benefits are not a significant element of compensation of our executive officers.

Base Salaries

Base salary is provided as a fixed source of compensation for our executive officers. Adjustments to base salaries are expected to be determined annually and may be increased based on an officer's success in meeting or exceeding individual objectives, as well as to maintain market competitiveness. Additionally, base salaries can be adjusted as warranted throughout the year to reflect promotions or other changes in the scope of breadth of an executive officer's role or responsibilities.

Annual Bonuses

Annual bonuses are designed to motivate our executive officers to meet our business and financial objectives generally and our annual financial performance targets in particular. Annual bonuses are earned, measured and made, if applicable, in cash and we anticipate continuing to do so going forward.

Share Compensation Plan

On May 17, 2019, the Board adopted a share compensation plan (the "Share Compensation Plan"). The Share Compensation Plan is a 15% "rolling" plan pursuant to which the number of Common Shares which may be issued pursuant to RSUs and Options granted under the Share Compensation Plan.

The Share Compensation Plan provides participants (each, a "Participant"), who may include participants who are citizens or residents of the United States (each, a "US Participant"), with the opportunity, through RSUs and Options, to acquire an ownership interest in the Company. The RSUs will rise and fall in value based on the value of the Company Shares. Unlike the Options, the RSUs will not require the payment of any monetary consideration to the Company. Instead, each RSU represents a right to receive one Common Share following the attainment of vesting criteria determined at the time of the award. See "Restricted Share Units – Vesting Provisions" below. The Options, on the other hand, are rights to acquire Company Shares upon payment of monetary consideration (i.e., the exercise price), subject also to vesting criteria determined at the time of the grant. See "Options – Vesting Provisions" below.

Purpose of the Share Compensation Plan

The stated purpose of the Share Compensation Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries, and its shareholders by: (a) ensuring that the interests of Participants are aligned with the success of the Company and its subsidiaries; (b) encouraging stock ownership by such persons; and (c) providing compensation opportunities to attract, retain and motivate such persons.

The following people are eligible to participate in the Share Compensation Plan: any officer or employee of the Company or any officer or employee of any subsidiary of the Company and, solely for purposes of the grant of Options, any director of the Company or any director of any subsidiary of the Company, and any Consultant (defined under the Share Compensation Plan as an individual (other than an employee or a director of the Company) or a corporation that is not a U.S. Person that: (A) is engaged to provide on an ongoing bona fide basis, consulting, technical,

{3}------------------------------------------------

management or other services to the Company or to an affiliate of the Company, other than services provided in relation to an offer or sale of securities of the Company in a capital raising transaction, or services that promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities; (B) provides the services under a written contract between the Company or the affiliate and the individual or the Company, as the case may be; (C) in the reasonable opinion of the Company, spends or will spend a significant amount of time and attention on the affairs and business of the Company or an affiliate of the Company; and (D) has a relationship with the Company or an affiliate of the Company that enables the individual to be knowledgeable about the business and affairs of the Company.

Administration of the Share Compensation Plan

The Share Compensation Plan is administered by the Board or such other persons as may be designated by the Board (the "Administrators") based on the recommendation of the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, if applicable. The Administrators determine the eligibility of persons to participate in the Share Compensation Plan, when RSUs and Options will be awarded or granted, the number of RSUs and Options to be awarded or granted, the vesting criteria for each award of RSUs and grant of Options and all other terms and conditions of each award and grant, in each case in accordance with applicable securities laws and the requirements of the CSE.

Restrictions on the Award of RSUs and Grant of Options

The awards of RSUs and grants of Options under the Share Compensation Plan is subject to a number of restrictions:

  • the total number of Common Shares issuable to insiders under the Share Compensation Plan and any other share compensation arrangements of the Company cannot exceed 15% of the Common Shares then outstanding; and
  • the aggregate sales price (meaning the sum of all cash, property, notes, cancellation of debt, or other consideration received or to be received by the Company for the sale of the securities) or amount of Common Shares issued during any consecutive 12-month period will not exceed the greatest of the following: (i) U.S.\$1,000,000; (ii) 15% of the total assets of the Company, measured at the Company's most recent balance sheet date; or (iii) 15% of the outstanding amount of the Common Shares, measured at the Company's most recent balance sheet date.

In the event of any declaration by the Company of any stock dividend payable in securities (other than a dividend which may be paid in cash or in securities at the option of the holder of Common Shares), or any subdivision or consolidation of the Common Shares, reclassification or conversion of the Common Shares, or any combination or exchange of securities, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, reorganization, spin off involving the Company, distribution (other than normal course cash dividends) of Company assets to holders of Common Shares, or any other corporate transaction or event involving the Company or the Common Shares, the Administrators may in their sole discretion make such changes or adjustments, if any, as the Administrators consider fair or equitable to reflect such change or event including, without limitation, adjusting the number of Options and RSUs outstanding under the Share Compensation Plan, the type and number of securities or other property to be received upon exercise or redemption thereof, and the exercise price of Options outstanding under the

{4}------------------------------------------------

Share Compensation Plan, provided that the value of any Option or RSU immediately after such an adjustment shall not exceed the value of such Option or RSU prior thereto.

Restricted Share Units

The total number of Common Shares that may be issued on exercise of Options and RSUs, together with any other share compensation arrangements of the Company, shall not exceed 15% of the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time.

Mechanics for RSUs

RSUs awarded to Participants under the Share Compensation Plan are credited to an account that is established on their behalf and maintained in accordance with the Share Compensation Plan. After the relevant date of vesting of any RSUs awarded under the Share Compensation Plan, a Participant shall be entitled to receive and the Company shall issue or pay (at its discretion): (i) a lump sum payment in cash equal to the number of vested RSUs recorded in the Participant's account multiplied by the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares traded on the CSE for the five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the payout date; (ii) the number of Common Shares required to be issued to a Participant upon the vesting of such Participant's RSUs in the Participant's account will be, duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares and such Participant shall be registered on the books of the Company as the holder of the appropriate number of Common Shares; or (iii) any combination of thereof.

Vesting Provisions

The Share Compensation Plan provides that: (i) at the time of the award of RSUs, the Administrators will determine the vesting criteria applicable to the awarded RSUs; (ii) vesting of RSUs may include criteria such as performance vesting; (iii) each RSU shall be subject to vesting in accordance with the terms set out in an agreement evidencing the award of the RSU attached as Exhibit A to the Share Compensation Plan (or in such form as the Administrators may approve from time to time) (each, an "RSU Agreement"); and (iv) all vesting and issuances or payments in respect of an RSU shall be completed no later than December 15 of the third calendar year commencing after the award date for such RSU.

It is the current intention that RSUs may be awarded with both time-based vesting provisions as a component of the Company's annual incentive compensation program, and performance based vesting provisions as a component of the Company's long term incentive compensation program.

Under the Share Compensation Plan, should the date of vesting of an RSU fall within a blackout period or within nine business days following the expiration of a blackout period, the date of vesting will be automatically extended to the tenth business day after the end of the blackout period.

Termination, Retirement and Other Cessation of Employment in connection with RSUs

A person participating in the Share Compensation Plan will cease to be eligible to participate in the following circumstances: (i) receipt of any notice of termination of employment or service (whether voluntary or involuntary and whether with or without cause); (ii) retirement; and (iii) any cessation of employment or service for any reason whatsoever, including disability and death (an "Event of Termination"). In such circumstances, any vested RSUs will be issued (and with respect to each RSU of a US Participant, such RSU will be settled and shares issued as soon as

{5}------------------------------------------------

practicable following the date of vesting of such RSU as set forth in the applicable RSU Agreement, but in all cases within 60 days following such date of vesting; and unless otherwise determined by the Administrators in their discretion, any unvested RSUs will be automatically forfeited and cancelled (and with respect to any RSU of a US Participant, if the Administrators determine, in their discretion, to waive vesting conditions applicable to an RSU that is unvested at the time of an Event of Termination, such RSU shall not be forfeited or cancelled, but instead will be deemed to be vested and settled and shares delivered following the date of vesting date of such Restricted Share Unit as set forth in the applicable RSU Agreement). Notwithstanding the above, if a person retires in accordance with the Company's retirement policy at such time, the pro rata portion of any unvested performance based RSUs will not be forfeited or cancelled and instead shall be eligible to become vested in accordance with the vesting conditions set forth in the applicable RSU Agreement after such retirement (as if retirement had not occurred), but only if the performance vesting criteria, if any, have been met on the applicable date. For greater certainty, if a person is terminated for just cause, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited and cancelled.

Options

The total number of Common Shares that may be issued on exercise of Options and RSUs, together with any other share compensation arrangements of the Company, shall not exceed 15% of the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time.

Mechanics for Options

Each Option granted pursuant to the Share Compensation Plan will entitle the holder thereof to the issuance of one Common Share upon achievement of the vesting criteria and payment of the applicable exercise price. Options granted under the Share Compensation Plan will be exercisable for Common Shares issued from treasury once the vesting criteria established by the Administrators at the time of the grant have been satisfied. However, the Company will continue to retain the flexibility through the amendment provisions in the Share Compensation Plan to satisfy its obligation to issue Common Shares by making a lump sum cash payment of equivalent value (i.e., pursuant to a cashless exercise), provided there is a full deduction of the number of underlying Common Shares from the Share Compensation Plan's reserve.

Vesting Provisions

The Share Compensation Plan provides that the Administrators may determine when any Option will become exercisable and may determine that Options shall be exercisable in instalments or pursuant to a vesting schedule. The Option agreement will disclose any vesting conditions prescribed by the Administrators.

Termination, Retirement and Other Cessation of Employment in connection with Options

A person participating in the Share Compensation Plan will cease to be eligible to participate where there is an Event of Termination. In such circumstances, unless otherwise determined by the Administrators in their discretion, any unvested Options will be automatically cancelled, terminated and not available for exercise and any vested Options may be exercised only before the earlier of: (i) the termination of the Option; and (ii) six months after the date of the Event of Termination. If a person is terminated for just cause, all Options will be (whether or not then exercisable) automatically cancelled.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Other Terms

The Administrators will determine the exercise price and term/expiration date of each Option, provided that the exercise price in respect of that Option shall not be less than the Market Price on the date of grant. "Market Price" is defined in the Share Compensation Plan, as of any date, the closing price of the Common Shares on the CSE for the last market trading day prior to the date of grant of the Option or if the Common Shares are not listed on a stock exchange, the Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the Administrators.

No Option shall be exercisable after ten years from the date the Option is granted. Under the Share Compensation Plan, should the term of an Option expire on a date that falls within a blackout period or within nine business days following the expiration of a blackout period, such expiration date will be automatically extended to the tenth business day after the end of the blackout period.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in the event of a change of control, any surviving or acquiring corporation shall assume any Option outstanding under the Share Compensation Plan on substantially the same economic terms and conditions or substitute or replace similar options for those Options outstanding under the Share Compensation Plan on substantially the same economic terms and conditions.

Transferability

RSUs awarded and Options granted under the Share Compensation Plan or any rights of a Participant cannot be transferred, assigned, charged, pledged or hypothecated, or otherwise alienated, whether by operation of law or otherwise.

Reorganization and Change of Control Adjustments

In the event of any declaration by the Company of any stock dividend payable in securities (other than a dividend which may be paid in cash or in securities at the option of the holder of Common Shares), or any subdivision or consolidation of Common Shares, reclassification or conversion of the Common Shares, or any combination or exchange of securities, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, reorganization, spin off involving the Company, distribution (other than normal course cash dividends) of Company assets to holders of Common Shares, or any other corporate transaction or event involving the Company or the Common Shares, the Administrators may make such changes or adjustments, if any, as they consider fair or equitable, to reflect such change or event including adjusting the number of Options and RSUs outstanding under the Share Compensation Plan, the type and number of securities or other property to be received upon exercise or redemption thereof, and the exercise price of Options outstanding under the Share Compensation Plan, provided that the value of any Option or RSU immediately after such an adjustment shall not exceed the value of such Option or RSU prior thereto.

Amendment Provisions in the Share Compensation Plan

The Board may amend the Share Compensation Plan or any RSU or Option at any time without the consent of any Participant provided that such amendment shall:

{7}------------------------------------------------

  • (a) not adversely alter or impair any RSU previously awarded or any Option previously granted, except as permitted by the adjustment provisions of the Share Compensation Plan and with respect to RSUs and Options of US Participants;
  • (b) be subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the CSE; and
  • (c) be subject to shareholder approval, where required, by the requirements of the CSE, provided that shareholder approval shall not be required for the following amendments:
  • (i) amendments of a "housekeeping nature", including any amendment to the Share Compensation Plan or an RSU or Option that is necessary to comply with applicable laws, tax or accounting provisions or the requirements of any regulatory authority, stock exchange or quotation system and any amendment to the Share Compensation Plan or an RSU or Option to correct or rectify any ambiguity, defective provision, error or omission therein, including any amendment to any definitions therein;
  • (ii) amendments that are necessary or desirable for RSUs or Options to qualify for favourable treatment under any applicable tax law;
  • (iii) amendments to the vesting provisions of any RSU or any Option (including any alteration, extension or acceleration thereof), providing such amendments do not adversely alter or impair such RSU or Option;
  • (iv) amendments to the termination provisions of any Option (e.g., relating to termination of employment, resignation, retirement or death) that does not entail an extension beyond the original expiration date (as such date may be extended by virtue of a blackout period) providing such amendments do not adversely alter or impair such Option;
  • (v) amendments to the Share Compensation Plan that would permit the Company to retain a broker and make payments for the benefit of Participants to such broker who would purchase Common Shares for such persons, instead of issuing Common Shares from treasury upon the vesting of the RSUs;
  • (vi) amendments to the Share Compensation Plan that would permit the Company to make lump sum cash payments to Participants, instead of issuing Common Shares from treasury upon the vesting of the RSUs;
  • (vii) the amendment of the cashless exercise feature set out in the Share Compensation Plan; and
  • (viii) change the application of the change of control provisions in section 6.2 or the Reorganization Adjustments provisions in section 6.3).

For greater certainty, shareholder approval will be required in circumstances where an amendment to the Share Compensation Plan would:

(a) increase the fixed maximum percentage of issued and outstanding Common Shares issuable under the Share Compensation Plan, other than by virtue of the adjustment

{8}------------------------------------------------

provisions in the Share Compensation Plan, or change from a fixed maximum percentage of issued and outstanding Common Shares to a fixed maximum number of Common Shares;

  • (b) increase the limits referred to above under "Restrictions on the Award of RSUs and Grant of Options";
  • (c) reduce the exercise price of any Option (including any cancellation of an Option for the purpose of reissuance of a new Option at a lower exercise price to the same person);
  • (d) extend the term of any Option beyond the original term (except if such period is being extend by virtue of a blackout period); or
  • (e) amend the amendment provisions in Section 6.4 of the Share Compensation Plan.

Pension Plan Benefits

The Company does not have defined benefit or defined contribution plans.
