(f)    During the period commencing on the execution of this Agreement and ending on the completion of the distribution of the Offered Units for purposes of Canadian Securities Laws and the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, to promptly inform the Underwriters in writing of the particulars of:

- 36 -

in each case, which change, fact or event is, or may be, of such a nature as (x) to render the Time of Sale Prospectus or either of the Prospectuses misleading or untrue in any material respect, (y) would result in the Time of Sale Prospectus or either of the Prospectuses containing a misrepresentation or not complying in any material respect with any Canadian Securities Laws or U.S. Securities Laws, as applicable, or (z) would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on the market price or value of the Shares or Warrants or a Material Adverse Effect;

(g)    In addition to the provisions of Section 8(f) and 8(h), to, in good faith, discuss with all of the Underwriters any change, fact or event contemplated in Section 8(f) or request, or communication contemplated in Section 8(h) which is of such a nature that there may be reasonable doubt as to whether notice need be given to the Underwriters under Section 8(f) or 8(h) and to consult with all of the Underwriters with respect to the form and content of any amendment or supplement to any of the Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectuses proposed to be filed by the Corporation, it being understood and agreed that no such amendment or supplement will be filed with the ASC or the Commission prior to the review and approval of such amendment or supplement by all of the Underwriters and counsel to the Underwriters, acting reasonably.

(j)    If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Offered Units as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters either of the Prospectuses (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectuses (or one of them) in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectuses (or one of them) (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectuses (or one of them) to comply with Applicable Law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses you will furnish to the Corporation) to which Offered Units may have been sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectuses (or one of them) so that the statements in the Prospectuses as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectuses (or one of them) (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectuses, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with Applicable Law.

(k)    To comply with Canadian Securities Laws and the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and prepare and file or deliver promptly at your request, any amendment or supplement to the Prospectuses, which, in your opinion may be necessary, to continue to qualify the Shares and Warrants for distribution in each of the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions and the United States.

(a)    Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Corporation not to take any action that would result in the Corporation being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus (other than the free writing prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule III hereto, or any free writing prospectus prepared and filed in accordance with the terms of Section 8(r)) prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Corporation thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.

(b)    The Underwriters hereby severally further covenant and agree with the Corporation the following: (i) during the period of distribution of the Offered Units by or through the Underwriters, the Underwriters will offer and sell the Offered Units to the public only in the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions and in the United States directly and through other duly registered investment dealers and brokers (the Underwriters, together with such other investment dealers and brokers, are referred to herein as the “Selling Firms”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectuses and in this Agreement; (ii) the Underwriters will use reasonable efforts to sell the Offered Units at the Purchase Price and if any such Offered Units remain unsold after such reasonable efforts, the Underwriters may sell such Offered Units at such price lower than the Purchase Price as is permitted under Applicable Law; and (iii) the Underwriters will notify the Corporation when, in the Underwriters’ opinion, the Underwriters have ceased the distribution of the Offered Units, and, as soon as reasonably practicable after completion of the distribution, will provide the Corporation, in writing, with a breakdown of the number of Offered Units distributed in each of the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions where that breakdown is required by a Canadian Securities Commission for the purpose of calculating fees payable to, or making filings with, that Canadian Securities Commission. Except in the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions and in the United States, the Underwriters will not, directly or indirectly, solicit offers to purchase or sell the Offered Units or deliver any Prospectuses so as to require the registration of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares, the filing of a prospectus with respect to the Offered Units, or the imposition of continuous disclosure obligations under the laws of any jurisdiction.

- 41 -

10.    Indemnity and Contribution.

(a)    The Corporation agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, and each of their respective officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses (other than loss of profits), claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by or based upon, directly or indirectly:

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any information regarding the Corporation that the Corporation has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or the Prospectuses or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Marketing Materials or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in each case other than the Registration Statement), except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Corporation in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use therein;

(ii) the non-compliance or alleged non-compliance of the Corporation with any requirement of Canadian Securities Laws or the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder or stock exchange requirements in connection with this offering of the Offered Units;

(iii) any breach by the Corporation of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; or

(iv) any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceeding commenced or threatened by any securities regulatory authority, stock exchange or by any competent authority which prevents or restricts the trading in or sale of the Corporation’s securities or the distribution of the Offered Units in any jurisdiction.

- 42 -

(b)    In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 10(a), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party does not assume the defence of the proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice thereof or, having assumed such defence, fails to pursue it diligently. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters, and all of their respective officers, employees and agents, and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Corporation, the officers of the Corporation who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Corporation within the meaning of either such Section. In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such officers, employees and agents, and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by BMO. In the case of any such separate firm for the Corporation, officers of the Corporation and control persons of the Corporation, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Corporation. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested the indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

- 43 -

(c)    To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 10(a) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the Corporation, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Offered Units or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 10(c)(i) above is not permitted by Applicable Law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 10(c)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Offered Units shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Offered Units (before deducting expenses) received by the Corporation and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of each of the Prospectuses, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Offered Units. The relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Corporation or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to the respective number of Offered Units they have purchased hereunder, and not joint (nor joint and several).

(d)    The Corporation and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 10(c). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 10(c) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Units underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity or otherwise.

(e)    The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 10 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Corporation contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, and any of their respective officers, employees or agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, or any affiliate of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Corporation, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Corporation and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Units.

- 44 -

(f)    The indemnifying party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to this Section 10, the Underwriters are contracting on their own behalf and as agents for their affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Beneficiaries”).

12.    Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Units that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the other Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, but not the obligation to purchase, in the proportions that the number of Firm Units set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Units set forth opposite the names of all such non defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, the Offered Units which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Units and the aggregate number of Firm Units with respect to which such default occurs is more than one tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Units to be purchased on such date, and non-defaulting Underwriters have not elected to purchase such default Offered Units within 36 hours after such default, then each non-defaulting Underwriter shall have the several right to terminate its purchase obligation under this Agreement without any liability to it, and the Corporation shall have the right to proceed with the sale of the Offered Units (less the defaulted units and any other terminations by the Underwriters) to the remaining Underwriters or to terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Corporation. In any such case either you or the Corporation shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectuses or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Units and the aggregate number of Additional Units with respect to which such default occurs is more than one tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Units to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Units to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Units that such non defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Corporation to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Corporation shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Corporation will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out of pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder. In all other instances, the Underwriters shall be solely responsible for their out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

RE: Aurora Cannabis Inc. (the “Corporation”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned is an owner of record or a beneficial owner of certain common shares, without par value, of the Corporation (“Shares”) or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares. The Corporation proposes to carry out an offering (the “Offering”), of units of the Corporation, with each unit consisting of one Share and one-half of one Share purchase warrant of the Corporation for which you will act as the Underwriters (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below) relating to the Offering to which the Corporation is a party). The undersigned recognizes that the Offering will be of benefit to the undersigned and will benefit the Corporation. The undersigned acknowledges that you are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this letter agreement in carrying out the Offering and, at a subsequent date, entering into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Corporation with respect to the Offering.

In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of BMO Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Inc. (“BMO”) (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion), directly or indirectly, (1) sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell (including without limitation any short sale), pledge, assign transfer, establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise dispose of any Shares, options or warrants to acquire Shares, or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Shares currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the undersigned, provided that the undersigned and each other officer or director of the Corporation entering into a similar lock-up letter in connection with the Offering, collectively may sell up to an aggregate amount of US$5 million dollars of such securities of the Corporation, (2) enter into any swap, hedge or similar arrangement or agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of all or any part of the Shares, or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Shares currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the undersigned regardless of whether any such transaction is to be settled in securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed (i) a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or (ii) a Canadian prospectus under applicable Canadian securities laws with respect to the registration or qualification of any Shares or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Shares or any other securities of the Corporation or (4) publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing, for a period commencing on the date hereof and continuing through the close of trading on the date 90 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-up Period”); provided, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to the transfer of any or all of the Shares owned by the undersigned, either during his lifetime or on death, by gift, will or intestate succession to the immediate family of the undersigned, or to a trust with respect to which one or more of the undersigned or an immediate family member of the undersigned is the exclusive beneficiary, or as a distribution to the limited partners, members, shareholders or affiliates of the undersigned; provided, however, that in any such case, it shall be a condition to such transfer that (A) such transfer is not for value, (B) the transferee executes and delivers to BMO an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Shares subject to the provisions of this letter agreement, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares, except in accordance with this letter agreement and (C) no public disclosure and no filing by any party to the transfer (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act and the applicable Canadian securities laws shall be required nor shall be voluntarily made reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of the Shares in connection with such transfer or distribution prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period (as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms hereof).

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Corporation’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares held by the undersigned except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

This letter agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the respective successors, heirs, personal representatives, and assigns of the undersigned.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.

This letter agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further effect upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) the date that the Corporation advises BMO, in writing, prior to execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Offering, or the (ii) termination of the Underwriting Agreement prior to the closing of the Offering.
