8. Covenants of the Corporation

The Corporation covenants and agrees with the Agent that:

900000071-00152808; 3

13 -

(a) Prospectus Amendments. After the date of this Agreement and until the completion of the sales contemplated hereunder, (i) the Corporation will notify the Agent promptly of the time when any subsequent amendment to the Base Prospectus has been filed with any Qualifying Authority and has become effective or where a receipt has been issued therefor, as applicable, or any subsequent supplement to the Prospectus has been filed (each, an “ Amendment Date ”) and of any request by any Qualifying Authority for any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) the Corporation will file promptly all other material required to be filed by it with the Qualifying Authorities; (iii) the Corporation will submit to the Agent a copy of any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus (other than a copy of any documents incorporated by reference into the Prospectus) a reasonable period of time before the filing thereof and will afford the Agent and the Agent’s counsel a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed filing and to perform any due diligence investigations as may reasonably be required prior to such proposed filing; and (iv) the Corporation will furnish to the Agent at the time of filing thereof a copy of any document that upon filing is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (provided that the Corporation shall not be required to deliver documents or information incorporated by reference into the Prospectus if such documents are accessible from SEDAR) and the Corporation will cause each amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to be filed with the Qualifying Authorities as required pursuant to the Shelf Procedures or, in the case of any document to be incorporated therein by reference, to be filed with the Qualifying Authorities as required pursuant to Canadian Securities Laws, within the time period prescribed.

(b) Notice of Stop Orders. The Corporation will advise the Agent, promptly and without delay after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Qualifying Authorities of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or other prospectus in respect of the Shares, of the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in the Qualifying Jurisdictions, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Qualifying Authorities for the amending or supplementing of the Prospectus or for additional information relating to the Shares. If there is a Placement Notice that has been issued by the Corporation that has not been suspended or terminated in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4 or 13, as applicable, the Corporation will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or other prospectus in respect of the Shares, the suspension of any qualification for offering or sale in the Qualifying Jurisdictions, and, in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or any such order preventing or suspending the use of any prospectus relating to the Shares or suspending any such qualification, the Corporation will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the lifting or withdrawal of such order as soon as possible.

(c) Delivery of Prospectus; Subsequent Changes. Within the time during which a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered by the Agent under Canadian Securities Laws (disregarding, for such purpose, the applicability of any exemption), the Corporation will comply in all material respects with all requirements imposed upon it by Canadian Securities Laws, as appropriate and as from time to time in force, and will file or furnish on or before their respective due dates all reports required to be filed or furnished by it with the Qualifying Authorities pursuant to Canadian Securities Laws, as appropriate. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with Canadian Securities Laws, the Corporation will immediately notify the Agent to suspend the offering of Placement Shares during such period and, if, in the Corporation’s determination and at the Corporation’s sole discretion, it is necessary to file an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to comply with Canadian Securities Laws, the Corporation will promptly prepare

900000071-00152808; 3

14 -

and, upon receiving the Agent’s prior written consent, file with the Qualifying Authorities such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Prospectus comply with such requirements, and the Corporation will furnish to the Agent such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Agent may reasonably request.

(d) Prospectus. The Corporation will furnish to the Agent and its counsel (at the expense of the Corporation) copies of the Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference therein), in the English language only, and all amendments and supplements to the Prospectus that are filed with the Qualifying Authorities during the period in which a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Qualifying Authorities (including all documents filed with the Qualifying Authorities during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, the Corporation shall not be required to furnish any documents to the Agent that are available on SEDAR.

(e) Company Information. The Corporation will furnish to the Agent such information in its possession as is reasonably requested by the Agent as necessary or appropriate to fulfil its obligations as agent pursuant to this Agreement and Canadian Securities Laws.

(f) Material Non-Public Information. The Corporation covenants that it will not issue a Placement Notice to the Agent in accordance with Section 2 hereof if the Corporation is in possession of material non-public information regarding the Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the Shares.

(g) Expenses. The Corporation, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 13, will pay all expenses relating to the following matters: (i) the preparation and filing of the Prospectus and each amendment and supplement thereto, (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Placement Shares, (iii) all fees and disbursements of the Corporation’s counsel, accountants and other advisors, (iv) the reasonable fees, disbursements, expenses and related taxes of counsel to the Agent in connection with this Agreement and the Prospectus and ongoing services in connection with the matters and transactions contemplated hereunder (such fees not to exceed (A) C$15,000 exclusive of taxes and disbursements, without prior written consent of the Corporation acting reasonably, for the period up to and including the execution of this Agreement and the filing of the Prospectus Supplement and (B) C$5,000 exclusive of taxes and disbursements, without prior written consent of the Corporation acting reasonably, in any 12 month period thereafter during the term of this Agreement), (v) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, not to exceed C$5,000 unless otherwise agreed to by the Corporation; (vi) the qualification of the securities hereunder under securities law, including filing fees in connection therewith, (vii) the printing and delivery to the Agent of copies of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, and of this Agreement, (viii) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing or qualification of the Placement Shares trading on the CSE, and (ix) the filing fees and expenses related to the Qualifying Authorities. All fees and expenses are to be paid in the currency in which such fees and expenses were incurred.

(h) Use of Proceeds. The Corporation will use the Net Proceeds as described in the Prospectus.

(i) Change of Circumstances. During the term of this Agreement, the Corporation will advise the Agent promptly after it has received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact

15 -

that would alter or affect in any material respect any representation, opinion, certificate, letter or other document provided to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

(j) Due Diligence Cooperation. The Corporation will cooperate with any due diligence review conducted by the Agent or its agents in connection with the Placement, including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior corporate officers to attend formal oral due diligence sessions, as the Agent or its counsel may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Corporation shall be required to make available senior corporate officers only (i) by telephone or at the Corporation’s principal offices, (ii) during the Corporation’s ordinary business hours.

(k) Affirmation of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Other Agreements. Upon commencement of the Offering of the Placement Shares under this Agreement and at the Applicable Time on the Settlement Date and each Amendment Date, the Corporation shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement, except to the extent that any such representation and warranty is limited to a specified date.

(l) Required Filings Relating to Placement of Placement Shares. In each quarterly report, annual information form or annual financial statements filed by the Corporation in respect of any period in which sales of Placement Shares were made by the Agent under this Agreement, the Corporation shall set forth with regard to such period the number of Placement Shares sold through the Agent under this Agreement, the Net Proceeds received by the Corporation and the compensation paid by the Corporation to the Agent with respect to sales of Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement. For so long as the Shares are listed on the CSE, the Corporation will provide the CSE with all information it requires with respect to the Offering within the timelines prescribed by the CSE.

(m) Representation Dates; Certificate. During the term of this Agreement, if the Corporation (i) files a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares or amends or supplements the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares by means of an amendment or supplement but not by means of incorporation of document(s) by reference to the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares; (ii) files or amends an annual information form; (iii) files or amends annual or interim financial statements; or (iv) at any other time reasonably requested by the Agent with prior written consent of the Corporation acting reasonably (each date of filing of one or more of the documents referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) and any time of request pursuant (iv) above shall be a “ Representation Date ”), the Corporation shall furnish the Agent with a certificate, in substantially the form set out in Exhibit A, within three (3) Trading Days of any Representation Date. The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 8(m) shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Placement Notice is pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Corporation delivers a Placement Notice hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation subsequently decides to sell Placement Shares following a Representation Date when the Corporation relied on such waiver and did not provide the Agent with a certificate under this Section 8(m), then on or before the date the Corporation delivers the Placement Notice or the Agent sells any Placement Shares, the Corporation shall provide the Agent with the certificate, in substantially the form set out in Exhibit A, dated the date of the Placement Notice.

(n) Legal Opinions.

(i) Within three (3) Trading Days of each Representation Date, the Corporation will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agent and to counsel to the Agent, the written opinions of Company Counsel, such opinions to be substantially similar to

900000071-00152808; 3

16 -

the form attached hereto as Exhibit B dated the date that the opinion is required to be delivered, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and their counsel, acting reasonably; or

(ii) in lieu of such opinions, counsel last furnishing such opinion to the Agent may furnish the Agent with a comfort letter to the effect that the Agent may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it was dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance).

(o) Market Activities. The Corporation will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under Canadian Securities Laws or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Corporation to facilitate the sale or resale of the Placement Shares or (ii) bid for, or purchase the Placement Shares, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Placement Shares other than the Agent.

(p) No Offer to Sell. Neither the Agent nor the Corporation (including its agents and representatives, other than the Agent in its capacity as such) will make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy Placement Shares hereunder.

(q) Consent to the Agent’s Trading. The Corporation consents to the extent permitted under Canadian Securities Laws, the rules of the CSE, any exemption and under this Agreement, to the Agent trading in the Shares of the Corporation: (i) for the account of their clients at the same time as sales of Placement Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) for the Agent’s own accounts provided that no such purchase or sale shall take place by the Agent while the Agent has received a Placement Notice that remains in effect, unless the Corporation has expressly authorized or consented in writing to any such trades by the Agent.

(r) Compliance with Cannabis Laws. The Corporation agrees that neither it nor any of its subsidiaries nor any director, officer, employee, agent or other person acting on behalf of it or any subsidiary will cultivate, produce, process, import, export, sell or distribute any cannabis or cannabinoid product or otherwise engage in, or target or derive (or reasonably expect to derive) revenues or funds from, any direct or indirect dealings or transactions with respect to the foregoing, in or to any federal, provincial, territorial, state, municipal, local or foreign jurisdiction unless such activity is in compliance in all material respects with all laws applicable to such activity. The Corporation will notify the Agent promptly if it or any subsidiary or any director, officer, employee, agent or other person acting on behalf of it or any subsidiary has received notice of any investigation or proceedings related to the matters set forth in this Section 8(o).

(s) Sale of Placement Shares in the United States.

9. Additional Representations and Covenants of the Corporation

The Corporation has not distributed and will not distribute, during the term of this Agreement, any “marketing materials” (as defined in National Instrument 41-101 – General Prospectus Requirements) in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares other than the Prospectus, provided that the Agent covenants with the Corporation not to take any action that would result in the Corporation being required to file with the Qualifying Authorities any “marketing materials” that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Corporation, but for the action of the Agent.

10. Conditions to the Agent’s Obligations.

The obligations of the Agent hereunder with respect to the Placement will be subject to the continuing accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties made by the Corporation herein, to the due performance by the Corporation of its obligations hereunder, to the completion by the Agent of a due diligence review satisfactory to the Agent in its reasonable judgment, and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by the Agent in its sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:

(a) Prospectus Supplement. The Prospectus Supplement shall have been filed with the Qualifying Authorities under the Shelf Procedures and in accordance with this Agreement, all requests for additional information on the part of the Qualifying Authorities shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and the Agent’s counsel and any applicable exemption shall remain in full force and effect without amendment.

(b) No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Corporation of any request for additional information from the Qualifying Authorities or any other federal or state or foreign or other governmental, administrative or self-regulatory authority during the period of effectiveness of the Prospectus, the response to which would require any amendments or supplements to the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Qualifying Authorities or any other federal or state or foreign or other Governmental Authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Corporation of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Prospectus or documents so that it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) the Corporation’s reasonable determination that an amendment to the Prospectus would be appropriate.

(c) Material Changes. Except as contemplated and appropriately disclosed in the Prospectus, or disclosed in the Corporation’s reports filed with the Qualifying Authorities, in each case at the time the applicable Placement Notice is delivered, there shall not have been any material change, on a consolidated basis, in the authorized common share capital of the Corporation, or any development that causes or could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect (financial or otherwise), the effect of which, in the sole judgment of the Agent (without relieving the Corporation of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), acting reasonably, is so material as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

900000071-00152808; 3

18 -

(d) Certificate. The Agent shall have received the certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8(m) on or before the date on which delivery of such certificate is required pursuant to Section 8(m).

(f) Approval for Listing; No Suspension. The Placement Shares shall have either been (i) approved for listing, subject to notice of issuance, on the CSE, or (ii) the Corporation shall have filed an application for listing of the Placement Shares on the CSE at or prior to the issuance of the Placement Notice. Trading in the Shares shall not have been suspended on such markets.

(i) any inaccuracy, breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Corporation in this Agreement or the failure of the Corporation to comply with any of its obligations hereunder;

900000071-00152808; 3

19 -
(ii) any information or statement (except any information or statement relating solely to an Indemnified Party and provided in writing by the Indemnified Party for inclusion in such document) contained in the Prospectus or any other document or material filed or delivered by or on behalf of the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement being or being alleged to be a misrepresentation or untrue or any omission or alleged omission to state in those documents any material fact required to be stated in those documents or necessary to make any of the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made;
(iii) any order made or any inquiry, investigation or proceeding instituted, threatened or announced by any court, securities regulatory authority, stock exchange or by any other competent authority, based upon any untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation or alleged untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation (except a statement, omission or misrepresentation relating solely to an Indemnified Party provided in writing by the Indemnified Party) contained in the Prospectus or any other document or material filed or delivered by or on behalf of the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement, which operates to prevent or restrict the trading in or the sale or distribution of the Placement Shares;
(iv) the non-compliance or alleged non-compliance by the Corporation with any requirement of Canadian Securities Laws, including the Corporation’s noncompliance with any statutory requirement to make any document available for inspection; or
(v) any failure or alleged failure to make timely disclosure of a material change by the Corporation, where such failure or alleged failure occurs during the Offering or during the period of distribution or where such failure relates to the Offering or the Placement Shares and may give or gives rise to any liability under any law in any jurisdiction which is in force on the date of this Agreement.

(b) The Corporation agrees to waive any right it may have of first requiring an Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or claim payment from any other person before claiming under this indemnity. The Corporation also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Corporation or any person asserting Claims on behalf of or in right of the Corporation for or in connection with the Offering except to the extent any Losses suffered by the Corporation are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable to have resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

(c) The Corporation will not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) unless the Corporation has acknowledged in writing that the Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified in respect of such Claim and such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such Claim without any admission of negligence, misconduct, liability or responsibility by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

900000071-00152808; 3

20 -

(d) Promptly after receiving notice of a Claim against an Indemnified Party or receipt of notice of the commencement of any investigation which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Corporation, the Indemnified Party will notify the Corporation in writing of the particulars thereof, provided that the omission so to notify the Corporation shall not relieve the Corporation of any liability that the Corporation may have to the Indemnified Party except and only to the extent that any such delay in or failure to give notice as herein required materially prejudices the defense of such Claim or results in any material increase in the liability which the Corporation has under this indemnity. The Corporation shall have 14 days after receipt of the notice to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or defense of the Claim. If the Corporation undertakes, conducts and controls the settlement or defense of the Claim, the relevant Indemnified Parties shall have the right to participate in the settlement or defense of the Claim, at the expense of the relevant Indemnified Party to the extent additional counsel or other external advisors are retained by such Indemnified Party.

(e) In any such Claim, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate legal counsel to act on such Indemnified Party’s behalf, the reasonable fees and expenses of which counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation if: (i) the Corporation does not assume the defence of the Claim within such 14 day period after receiving actual notice of the Claim; (ii) the Corporation agrees to separate representation for the Indemnified Party; or (iii) the Indemnified Parties are advised by counsel that there is an actual or potential conflict in the Corporation’s and the Indemnified Parties’ respective interests or additional defences are available to the Indemnified Parties, which make representation by the same counsel inappropriate, provided that in no circumstances will the Corporation be required to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one legal counsel for all Indemnified Parties.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing indemnity shall cease to apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become nonappealable shall determine that such Losses to which the Indemnified Party may be subject were caused by the gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party. For greater certainty, the Corporation and the Agent agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Agent to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Agent with reasonable grounds for believing the Prospectus contained no misrepresentation shall constitute “gross negligence”, “fraud”, or “willful misconduct” for the purposes of this Section 11 or otherwise disentitle the Agent from indemnification hereunder.

(g) The Corporation agrees that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Corporation and/or the Agent by any governmental commission or regulatory authority or any stock exchange or other entity having regulatory authority, either domestic or foreign, shall investigate the Corporation and/or the Indemnified Parties shall be required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of the performance of professional services rendered to the Corporation by the Agent, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ their own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Agent for time spent by the Indemnified Parties in connection therewith) and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Indemnified Parties in connection therewith shall be paid by the Corporation as they occur, provided that in no circumstances will the Corporation be required to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one legal counsel for all Indemnified Parties.

900000071-00152808; 3

21 -

(h) To the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to this Agreement, the Agent shall obtain and hold the right and benefit of the above-noted indemnity in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

(i) The Corporation agrees to reimburse the Agent for the time spent by its personnel in connection with any Claim at their normal per diem rates.

(j) The indemnity and the contribution obligations of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 11 shall be in addition to any liability which the Corporation may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the personnel of the Agent and shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Corporation and any of the Indemnified Parties. The foregoing provisions shall survive the completion of professional services rendered under this Agreement or any termination of the authorization given by this Agreement.

(k) In the event that the indemnity of the Corporation provided for in this Section 11 is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable as being contrary to public policy or is unavailable for any other reason, the Agent and the Corporation shall severally, and not jointly, contribute to the aggregate of all Claims and all Losses of the nature contemplated in this Section 11 and suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties in proportions as is appropriate to reflect: (i) the relative benefits received by the Agent, on the one hand (being the Placement Fee), and the relative benefits received by the Corporation, as applicable, on the other hand (being the gross proceeds derived from the sale of the Placement Shares less the Placement Fee), (ii) the relative fault of the Corporation, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, and (iii) relevant equitable consideration; provided that the Corporation shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claim any excess of such amount over the amount paid or payable to the Agent or any other Indemnified Party under this Agreement. For greater certainty and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the Placement Fee or any portion thereof actually received. However, no party who has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgement to have engaged in any fraud, dishonesty, willful misconduct or gross negligence shall be entitled to claim contribution from any person who has not been so determined to have engaged in such fraud, dishonesty, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(l) Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receiving notice of commencement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 11, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it may have otherwise under this section, except to the extent that the party from whom contribution may be sought is materially prejudiced by such omission. The right to contribution provided herein shall be in addition and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Agent may have by statute or otherwise by law.
