"Trim" means the material resulting from the process of removing excess material from cannabis flower buds.

"Shake" means small pieces of cannabis flower that break from larger cannabis buds, generally as the result of regular handling.
"Smalls" means smaller size cannabis flower buds that are larfy (not dense) and typically of lower potency than other cannabis flowers.

This further includes preparation of these oils and distillates into specific formulations for various cannabis or hemp consumer packaged goods products.
2. QUALITY ASSURANCE AGREEMENT
2.1 Within 15 days of the execution of this Agreement by all Parties, the Parties agree to execute a quality assurance agreement (the "Quality Assurance Agreement") to set forth the quality control and quality assurance obligations of both Parties in compliance with Applicable Law.
- 3 -
3. ORDERING, PRODUCTION, DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE
3.1 Xxxxxxx agrees to purchase a minimum of 6,000 kilograms of Product from Supplier during the Term (as defined herein). The price payable for the Product shall be $0.20 per gram of Product, excluding all sales taxes which shall be borne by Adastra.
3.2 Adastra shall place orders in writing for the Product in the form attached hereto as Schedule "A" (each a "Product Order"), which shall set out the quantity of Product required and a proposed pick up date. Upon Xxxxxxx's request, Supplier will make available to Adastra a complete list of available Product.
3.3 Upon receipt of a Product Order from Adastra, Supplier shall provide Adastra with written confirmation of the Product Order acceptance, which confirmation shall set out the target delivery date for the Product Order, as agreed between the Parties, within seven (7) business days. If no order confirmation is sent within the said seven (7) business day period, Supplier shall be deemed to have rejected the Product Order. Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to accept all Product Orders submitted in accordance with this Agreement. If Supplier is not able to accept a reasonable Product Order submitted by Adastra in accordance with this Agreement, then any applicable NC Fee (as defined herein) triggered as a result of such rejected Product Order shall be waived. In the event that the Supplier produces Trim at a THC potency higher than 8% which Supplier is unable to sell at a price higher than $0.20 per gram or make other use of, then Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include such Trim in Adastra's Product Orders.
3.4 Supplier shall make each Product Order available for pick up, on an Ex Works (incoterms 2010) basis, within [•] days of its acceptance of the applicable Product Order. All costs of shipping as well any other charges that arise as a result of or in connection with the transport of the Product shall be for the account of Adastra.
3.5 Title in and to the Product Orders shall remain with Supplier until the applicable Product Order is picked up by Xxxxxxx, at which time title and all liability and risk of loss for the applicable Product Order shall transfer to Adastra.
3.6 This Agreement is a take or pay agreement such that, if Adastra does not purchase from Supplier at least 6,000 kilograms (the "Minimum Volume") of the Product during the Term (as defined herein), Adastra shall be required to pay Supplier a non-completion fee (the "NC Fee") equal to $0.20 for each gram by which the Minimum Volume exceeds the amount of Product purchased and paid for by Adastra during the Term. Supplier shall provide Adastra with an invoice for any applicable NC Fee thirty (30) calendar days following the expiry or early termination of the Term, and Adastra shall pay the applicable invoice within thirty (30) calendar days of such date. No early termination of this Agreement or extension of the Term shall affect this take or pay obligation. For illustrative purposes, if Adastra purchased 4,000 kilograms of Product from the Supplier during the Term, the NC Fee would be:
(6,000 kilograms of Product - 4,000 kilograms of Product) x CAD $0.20 = $400,000
- 4 -
For illustrative purposes, if Adastra submitted Purchase Orders for 4,000 kilograms of Product from the Supplier during the Term and Supplier was only able to supply Adastra with 3,000 kilograms of Product during the Term, the NC Fee would be:
(6,000 kilograms of Product - 4,000 kilograms of Product - 1,000 kilograms of Product) x CAD $0.20 = $200,000
3.7 For the purposes of the calculation of an applicable NC Fee, the Minimum Volume required to be purchased by Adastra under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of Product purchased by Adastra under invoice (0000143) attached hereto Schedule "B".
3.8 Supplier shall provide Adastra with an invoice for each Product Order at the time the Product Orders is picked up by Adastra at Supplier's loading dock, and Adastra shall pay the applicable invoice within thirty (30) calendar days of such date.
3.9 If Adastra fails to make any payment to Supplier hereunder on the due date for payment, then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Supplier, Supplier shall be entitled to charge Adastra interest (both before and after judgement) on the amount unpaid at the rate of .5% percent per month (6.17% per annum), calculated daily and compounded monthly until payment in full is made without prejudice to Supplier's right to receive payment on the due date(s).
3.10 Adastra may inspect all Products received under this Agreement within five (5) days of receipt. In the event that Xxxxxxx determines that a Product Order fails to conform to the Specifications, Adastra shall facilitate the return of such rejected Product Order and Supplier shall replace the rejected Product Order with a conforming Product Order.
3.11 In the event Supplier disagrees with Xxxxxxx's determination that a Product Order does not conform to the Specifications, Supplier shall send a sample of the Product Order in question to an independent ISO certified and Health Canada Licensed testing laboratory to investigate compliance. If the independent laboratory determines the Product Order fails to meet the Specifications, Supplier shall issue to Adastra a credit for the Product Order, and where the independent laboratory determines the Product Order meets the Specifications, Adastra shall be required to pay for the applicable Product Order and any interest thereon. The cost of the independent testing laboratory shall be borne by the incorrect Party.
4. PRODUCT RECALLS
4.1 In the event that a Party, determines in good faith or is required by Health Canada that it is required to initiate a recall with respect to a batch of a Product the recalling Party shall immediately notify the other Party of the recall and both Parties agree to cooperate with one another to accommodate any procedures and requirements necessitated by such recall.
