(a) Pubco shall effect the Pubco Share Consolidation in accordance with and pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, on a basis such that immediately prior to the completion of the Pubco Share Amendment (as defined in the Plan of Arrangement) to create the Resulting Issuer Subordinate Voting Shares and the Resulting Issuer Proportionate Voting Shares, and after the Pubco Share Consolidation, the number of issued and outstanding Pubco Shares is equal to US$1,000,000 divided by the issue price per Xxxxx Subscription Receipt.

- 33 -

(b) The Parties agree that the capitalization of the Resulting Issuer will be as set forth at Schedule “G”, subject to adjustment at the sole discretion of Verano; however, no such adjustment may alter or amend the number of issued and outstanding Pubco Shares as set forth at Section 4.4(a).

4.5 Notices of Certain Events

(a) Each Party will give prompt written notice to the other Parties upon becoming aware of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms and the Effective Time of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely to:

(i) result in such Party’s failure to satisfy the following applicable condition precedent with respect to its representations and warranties set forth herein: (A) with respect to Verano, Section 3.3(b); (B) with respect to Pubco, Section 3.2(b); (C) with respect to BC Newco, Section 3.2(c); and (D) with respect to Xxxxx, Section 3.2(d), as the case may be;

(ii) result in such Party’s failure to comply with or satisfy in all material respects any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such Party hereunder prior to the Effective Time; or

(iii) result in the failure of any other condition set forth in Article 3 prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Except as provided in this Section 4.5(b), a Party’s receipt of information pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall not operate as a waiver or otherwise amend, supplement or affect any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement given or made in this Agreement by any Party. If any such disclosed information has resulted in, or will result in (in the reasonable determination of the receiving Party), the failure to satisfy one or more conditions precedent to a receiving Party’s obligation set forth in Article 3 by the Outside Date, then within ten Business Days of the receipt of such written disclosure notice, this Agreement may be terminated by such receiving Party, the conditions precedent in favour of whom in Article 3 cannot be satisfied. If this Agreement either cannot be terminated or is not terminated by a receiving Party as provided in this Section 4.5, such written notice provided shall in all cases be deemed to qualify and update the representations, warranties, agreements, covenants and agreements in this Agreement in all respects for the purposes of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 3, and shall not be a basis for failure to satisfy any such conditions. In addition to and in furtherance of the foregoing, until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms and the Effective Time, Verano may supplement and update the Disclosure Letter and for so long as any such supplements and updates (i) were not made as a result of a breach or default by Verano under this Agreement in any material respect, and (ii) do not have a Verano Material Adverse Effect, then any such supplements and updates to the Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to qualify and update the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of Verano and the Disclosure Letter in all respects for the purposes of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Article 3 and shall not be a basis for failure to satisfy any such conditions.

- 34 -

(c) No Party may elect to terminate this Agreement based upon either (i) the failure of a condition precedent in Article 3 for the benefit of such Party to be satisfied, or (ii) a termination right of such Party in Section 5.2, unless prior to the Effective Date such Party has delivered a written notice to all of the other Parties specifying in reasonable detail the breaches of covenants, agreements, representations and warranties or other termination matters which the Party delivering such notice is asserting as the basis for the non-fulfilment of its applicable condition precedent or termination right, as the case may be. Provided that any Party is proceeding diligently to cure an asserted breach or satisfy an asserted termination matter and such breach or termination matter is capable of being cured or satisfied by the Outside Date (in the sole discretion of the Party electing to terminate), no Party may terminate this Agreement unless such breach or termination matter shall not have been cured or otherwise satisfied within 15 days after such written notice was delivered to all Parties.

4.6 Additional Covenants Regarding the Arrangement

Each Party shall perform all obligations required to be performed by such Party (and, in the case of Pubco, to be performed by Pubco Sub) under this Agreement, co-operate with the other Parties in connection therewith, and do all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably practicable, the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including the Plan of Arrangement. Without limiting any other obligations of the Parties hereunder, the Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate and cooperate with one another in exchanging such information and supplying such assistance as may be reasonably requested by each in connection with the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pubco shall form the following limited liability companies in accordance with applicable Law of each such limited liability company and on terms and at a time acceptable to Verano: LLC1, LLC2, LLC3 and LLC4 (as each such term is defined in the Plan of Arrangement), and all of the membership interest in each such limited liability company shall be held by Pubco immediately prior to the Effective Time. Pubco shall enter into each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party (the form of such each such Ancillary Agreement to be determined by Verano, in its sole discretion).

4.7 Additional Covenants Regarding the Businesses of Certain Parties

Each of Pubco (on its own behalf and on behalf of Pubco Sub), BC Newco and Xxxxx covenants and agrees that prior to the Effective Date, unless (i) Verano shall otherwise agree in writing, or (ii) such action is expressly contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, that it shall not (and in the case of Pubco, shall cause Pubco Sub not to), directly or indirectly:

5.3 Expenses and Termination Fees

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, each of the Parties shall be responsible for its own costs and charges incurred with respect to the Business Combination including, without limitation, all costs and charges incurred prior to the date of this Agreement and all legal and accounting fees and disbursements relating to preparing this Agreement or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated herein.

- 38 -

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Pubco Termination Fee Event” means the termination of this Agreement:

(i) by Verano pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(iv);

(ii) by Verano pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(v) (but only to the extent the Party in breach of this Agreement is Pubco); or

(iii) by Pubco pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(iii).

If a Pubco Termination Fee Event occurs pursuant to Section 5.3(b), Pubco shall pay the Pubco Termination Fee to Verano, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, prior to or simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement.

(c) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Verano Termination Fee Event” means the termination of this Agreement:

(i) by Pubco pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(ii) (but only to the extent that Pubco is not in breach of this Agreement); or

(ii) by Pubco pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(v) (but only to the extent the Party in breach of this Agreement is Verano).

(d) For clarity, the Pubco Termination Fee or the Verano Termination Fee shall only be paid once pursuant to this Section 5.3. Each of the Transacting Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 5.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and that, without those agreements, the Transacting Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each Transacting Party acknowledges that all of the payment amounts set out in this Section are payments in consideration for the disposition of rights under this Agreement and represent payments of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages, which the Transacting Party entitled to such damages will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such payment and the resultant termination of this Agreement and are not penalties. Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, each Transacting Party agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Transacting Party is entitled to the Verano Termination Fee or the Pubco Termination Fee and such fee is paid in full, a Party shall be precluded from any other remedy against any other Party or at Law or in equity or otherwise (including, without limitation, an order for specific performance), and shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the other Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, provided, however that payment by a Transacting Party of the Pubco Termination Fee of the Verano Termination Fee shall not be in lieu of any damages or any other payment or remedy available in the event of any willful or intentional breach by such Transacting Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

- 39 -

5.4 Amendment

Subject to the provisions of the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and applicable Laws, this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may, at any time and from time to time before or after the holding of the Pubco Meeting but not later than the Effective Time, be amended by mutual written agreement of all of the Parties and any such amendment may without limitation:

(a) change the time for performance of any of the obligations or acts of the Parties;

- 41 -

6.3 Injunctive Relief; Damages

Subject to Section 5.3, the Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by a Party, the non-breaching Party will be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, and the Parties shall not object to the granting of injunctive or other equitable relief on the basis that there exists an adequate remedy at Law. Subject to Section 5.3 and this Section 6.3, such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at Law or equity to each of the Parties. In any action to enforce the terms of this Agreement, including any action for equitable relief or to recover damages for any violations herein, it shall not be a defense, and no Party shall assert any claim, cause of action, defense, legal or equitable remedy (including rescission), or theory that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, non-binding, unenforceable or illegal on the basis that federal law may restrict or prohibit the activities and transactions contemplated hereby that involve cannabis, or products relating thereto, and the parties hereby waive all such claims, causes of action, defenses, remedies, and theories, to the extent permitted under federal law and applicable Law. In connection with any claim for damages by a Party for any violation of this Agreement by any other Party, and in the absence of fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct by such other Party (for which, in each case, there shall be no limitation), the maximum aggregate liability of any Party hereto shall not exceed US$100,000.

6.4 Time of Essence

Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

6.5 Entire Agreement, Binding Effect and Assignment

This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto and the Disclosure Letter) as well as the Non-Disclosure Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Pubco Shareholder Voting Agreements constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements, representations, warranties and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and, except as expressly provided herein (including under and for those referenced in Section 6.6 (No Liability), this Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

6.6 No Liability

No director or officer of any of the Parties hereunder shall have any personal liability whatsoever to the other Parties under this Agreement, or any other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, affiliate, agent, attorney or other representative of any Party or of any affiliate of any Party, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any Party under this Agreement or for any Action based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.7 Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

6.8 Counterparts; Execution

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties shall be entitled to rely upon delivery of an executed facsimile, portable document format or similar executed electronic copy of this Agreement, and such facsimile, portable document format or similar executed electronic copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the Parties.

(b) After the effective time of the BC Amalgamation and until surrendered for cancellation as contemplated by Subsection 5.1(a) hereof, each Pubco Share (other than Pubco Shares held immediately prior to such time by Pubco Dissenting Shareholders) and any certificates representing such Pubco Shares shall thenceforth be deemed at all times to represent only the right to receive in exchange therefor the securities of the Resulting Issuer that the holder is entitled to receive in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement.

5.2 Lost Certificates

If any certificate, that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented, or was deemed to represent, one or more outstanding securities to be deposited with the Depository under this Plan of Arrangement shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and the receipt by the Depository of a letter of transmittal, as applicable, the Depository shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement. When authorizing such delivery of the Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the holder to whom such Consideration is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such Consideration give a bond satisfactory to the Resulting Issuer or Pubco, as applicable, and the Depository (acting reasonably) in such amount as the Resulting Issuer or Pubco, as applicable, and the Depository (acting reasonably) may direct, or otherwise indemnify the Resulting Issuer or Pubco, as applicable, and the Depository in a manner satisfactory to such applicable party, and the Depository, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against the Resulting Issuer or Pubco or the Depository, as applicable, with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and shall otherwise take such actions as may be required by the constating documents of the Resulting Issuer or Pubco as applicable.

5.4 Withholding Rights

The Resulting Issuer, Pubco or the Depository, as applicable, shall deduct and withhold from all distributions or payments otherwise payable to any former Pubco Shareholder or former holder of Affected Securities (each an “Affected Person”) any amounts required to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the Code or any provision of any applicable federal, provincial, state, local or foreign Law or treaty, in each case, as amended (a “Withholding Obligation”). To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Affected Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. The Resulting Issuer or Pubco and the Depository shall also have the right to:

(a) withhold and sell, on their own account or through a broker (the “Broker”), and on behalf of any Affected Person; or

(b) require the Affected Person to irrevocably direct the sale through a Broker and irrevocably direct the Broker to pay the proceeds of such sale to the Resulting Issuer, Pubco or the Depository as appropriate (and, in the absence of such irrevocable direction, the Affected Person shall be deemed to have provided such irrevocable direction);

such number of Resulting Issuer Proportionate Voting Shares and Resulting Issuer Subordinate Voting Shares, issued or issuable to such Affected Person pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement as is necessary to produce sale proceeds (after deducting commissions payable to the broker and other costs and expenses) sufficient to fund any Withholding Obligations. Any such sale of Resulting Issuer Proportionate Voting Shares or Resulting Issuer Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable, shall be effected on a public market in accordance with applicable securities Laws, and as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. None of the Resulting Issuer, the Depository or the broker will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale of such Resulting Issuer Shares including any loss relating to the manner or timing of such sales, the prices at which Resulting Issuer Shares are sold or otherwise. The Resulting Issuer and the Depository shall provide prior written notice of any intention to deduct or withhold under applicable Withholding Obligations from any distributions or payments otherwise payable to any Affected Person so as to give each such Affected Person the reasonable opportunity to provide the Resulting Issuer and the Depository with any information or documentation sufficient to reduce or eliminate such Withholding Obligations.

If the Resulting Issuer, Pubco or the Depository deducts or withholds any amount (or any Resulting Issuer Shares, as the case may be) pursuant to this Section 5.4, then:

(a) the Resulting Issuer, Pubco or the Depository, as applicable, shall pay the full amount required to be deducted to the appropriate taxing authority on a timely basis and in accordance with applicable Law; and

(b) as soon as practicable after payment of such amount to the appropriate taxing authority, the Resulting Issuer, Pubco or the Depository, as applicable, shall deliver to the Affected Person the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such taxing authority evidencing such payment, and a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Affected Person.

5.5 Limitation and Proscription

To the extent that a former Pubco Shareholder or other Affected Person shall not have complied with the provisions of Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 hereof on or before the date that is six (6) years after the Effective Date (the “final proscription date”), then the Resulting Issuer Shares and any Resulting Issuer Convertible Note that such former Pubco Shareholder or other Affected Person was entitled to receive shall be automatically cancelled without any repayment of capital or other consideration in respect thereof and the original Resulting Issuer Convertible Note to which such former Pubco Shareholder or other Affected Person was entitled, shall be delivered to the Resulting Issuer by the Depository and certificates representing Resulting Issuer Shares shall be cancelled by the Resulting Issuer, and the interest of the former Pubco Shareholder or other Affected Person, in such Resulting Issuer Shares and any such Resulting Issuer Convertible Note to which it was entitled shall be terminated as of such final proscription date for no consideration.

A-20

5.6 No Liens

Any exchange, issuance or transfer of securities pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens of any kind.

5.7 No Liability

None of the Resulting Issuer, Pubco, Verano, Finco, AME, POR, RVC, Partially Owned Verano Subsidiaries or the Depository shall be liable to any Person in respect of any payment of Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any certificate, instrument or agreement representing securities shall not have been surrendered, and an affidavit with respect thereto shall not have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.2, immediately prior to the date on which any Consideration to be paid upon surrender of such certificate, instrument or agreement representing securities would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Consideration shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Resulting Issuer, free and clear of all claims of or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

From and after the Effective Time: (i) this Plan of Arrangement shall take precedence and priority over any and all Pubco Shares, Pubco Convertible Notes, Xxxxx Shares, Verano Units, AME Units, POR Units, RVC Units, BC Newco Shares, securities of Verano Blockercos and minority interests in Partially Owned Verano Subsidiaries that are exchanged with or contributed to Pubco pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement (the “Affected Securities”); (ii) the rights and obligations of the Resulting Issuer, the Depository, the Affected Persons and any transfer agent or other depository in relation thereto, shall be solely as provided for in this Plan of Arrangement; and (iii) all actions, causes of action, claims or proceedings (actual or contingent and whether or not previously asserted) based on or in any way relating to the Affected Securities shall be deemed to have been exchanged, compromised, released and determined without liability except as set forth herein.

27.5 Subdivision or Consolidation

The Proportionate Voting Shares shall not be consolidated or subdivided unless the Subordinate Voting Shares are simultaneously consolidated or subdivided utilizing the same divisor or multiplier.

27.6 Voluntary Conversion

Subject the Conversion Limitation set forth in this Article 27.6, holders of Proportionate Voting Shares shall have the following rights of conversion (the “Share Conversion Right”):

(a) Right to Convert Proportionate Voting Shares. Subject to the limitations set out in this Article 27.6, each Proportionate Voting Share shall be convertible at the option of the holder into such number of Subordinate Voting Shares as is determined by multiplying the number of Proportionate Voting Shares in respect of which the Share Conversion Right is exercised by 100. Fractions of Proportionate Voting Shares may be converted into such number of Subordinate Voting Shares as is determined by multiplying the fraction by 100, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(b) Restricted Conversion Period. For the period (the “Restricted Conversion Period”) prior to July 1, 2021 (the “Unrestricted Conversion Date”), the directors (or a committee thereof) or any officer of the Company designated thereby shall determine whether the Conversion Limitation set forth in this Article 2.6 shall apply.

(c) Foreign Private Issuer Status. Subject to the terms hereof, the Company shall not give effect to any voluntary conversion of Proportionate Voting Shares pursuant to this Article 27.6 or otherwise during the Restricted Conversion Period, and the Share Conversion Right will not apply during the Restricted Conversion Period, to the extent that after giving effect to all permitted issuances after such conversion of Proportionate Voting Shares, the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares and Proportionate Voting Shares (calculated on the basis that each Subordinate Voting Share and Proportionate Voting Share is counted once, without regard to the number of votes carried by such share) held of record, directly or indirectly, by residents of the United States (as determined in accordance with Rules 3b-4 and 12g3-2(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (“U.S. Residents”) would exceed forty percent (40%) (the “40% Threshold”) of the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares and Proportionate Voting Shares (calculated on the same basis) issued and outstanding (the “FPI Restriction”). The directors may by resolution increase the 40% Threshold to a number not to exceed fifty percent (50%), and if any such resolution is adopted, all references to the 40% Threshold herein shall refer instead to the amended percentage threshold set by the directors in such resolution, and the formula in Article 27.6(d) of this Article 27.6 shall be adjusted to give effect to such amended percentage threshold.

F-6

(d) Conversion Limitation. In order to give effect to the FPI Restriction, the number of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable to a holder of Proportionate Voting Shares upon exercise by such holder of the Share Conversion Right during the Restricted Conversion Period will be subject to the 40% Threshold based on the number of Proportionate Voting Shares held by such holder as of the date of initial issuance of Proportionate Voting Shares to such holder, and thereafter on the last day of each of the Company’s subsequent fiscal quarters during the Restricted Conversion Period (the date of initial issuance and the last day of each of the Company’s subsequent fiscal quarters each being a “Determination Date”) calculated as follows:

X = [A x 40% - B] x (C/D)

Where, on the Determination Date:

X = Maximum Number of Subordinate Voting Shares which may be issued upon exercise of the Share Conversion Right.

A = Aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares and Proportionate Voting Shares issued and outstanding on such Determination Date.

B = Aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares and Proportionate Voting Shares held of record, directly or indirectly, by U.S. Residents on such Determination Date.

C = Aggregate Number of Proportionate Voting Shares held by such holder on such Determination Date.

D = Aggregate Number of All Proportionate Voting Shares on such Determination Date.

The Company shall determine as of each Determination Date, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares and Proportionate Voting Shares held of record, directly or indirectly, by U.S. Residents, and the maximum number of Subordinate Voting Shares which may be issued upon exercise of the Share Conversion Right, generally in accordance with the formula set forth immediately above. Upon request by a holder of Proportionate Voting Shares, the Company will provide each holder of Proportionate Voting Shares with notice of such maximum number as at the most recent Determination Date, or a more recent date as may be determined by the Company in its discretion. During the Restricted Conversion Period, to the extent that issuances of Subordinate Voting Shares on exercise of the Share Conversion Right would result in the 40% Threshold being exceeded, the number of Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued will be pro-rated among each holder of Proportionate Voting Shares exercising the Share Conversion Right.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 27.6(c) and 27.6(d), the directors may by resolution waive the application of the Conversion Restriction to any exercise or exercises of the Share Conversion Right to which the Conversion Restriction would otherwise apply, or to future Conversion Restrictions generally, including with respect to a period of time.

(e) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Proportionate Voting Shares shall be entitled to voluntarily convert Proportionate Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares in accordance with Article 27.6(a), the holder shall surrender the certificate(s) or direct registration statement(s), if any, representing the Proportionate Voting Shares to be converted at the head office of the Company, or the office of any transfer agent for the Proportionate Voting Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at its head office of his or her election to convert such Proportionate Voting Shares and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate(s) or direct registration statement(s) representing the Subordinate Voting Shares are to be issued (a “Conversion Notice”). The Company shall (or shall cause its transfer agent to) as soon as practicable thereafter, issue to such holder or his or her nominee, a certificate(s) or direct registration statement(s) representing the number of Subordinate Voting Shares to which such holder is entitled upon conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have taken place immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which the certificate(s) or direct registration statement(s) representing the Proportionate Voting Shares to be converted is surrendered and the Conversion Notice is delivered, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the holder or holders of record of such Subordinate Voting Shares as of such date.

F-7

27.7 Mandatory Conversion

The Company shall have the following rights in respect of conversion of the Proportionate Voting Shares:

(a) Right to Convert Proportionate Voting Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall have the right (the “Company Share Conversion Right”) to require each holder of Proportionate Voting Shares to convert (the “PVS Conversion”) all, and not less than all, of the Proportionate Voting Shares held by such holder into such number of Subordinate Voting Shares as is determined by multiplying the number of Proportionate Voting Shares in respect of which the Company Share Conversion Right is exercised by 100. Fractions of Proportionate Voting Shares may be converted into such number of Subordinate Voting Shares as is determined by multiplying the fraction by 100, rounded down to the nearest whole number and no payment shall be made or consideration provided on account of any such rounding. The Company Share Conversion Right may be exercised by the Company if all the following conditions are either satisfied (and, for certainty, the following conditions continue to be satisfied at the Conversion Time (as defined below)) or waived by special resolution of the holders of Proportionate Voting Shares:

(i) the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; and

(ii) the Subordinate Voting Shares are listed or quoted (and are not suspended from trading) on a recognized North American stock exchange including the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Market, the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange, the Canadian Securities Exchange or Aequitas NEO Exchange (or any other Canadian stock exchange recognized as such by the British Columbia Securities Commission).

(b) Mechanics of Conversion

(i) In order to exercise the Company Share Conversion Right, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agent to issue to each holder of Proportionate Voting Shares of record a notice (the “PVS Conversion Notice”) at least 10 days prior to the record date of the PVS Conversion (the “PVS Conversion Date”) which shall specify therein: (i) the number of Subordinate Voting Shares into which the Proportionate Voting Shares are convertible pursuant to the PVS Conversion; and (ii) the PVS Conversion Date;

(ii) At the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”) on the PVS Conversion Date, each certificate or direct registration statement representing Proportionate Voting Shares shall be null and void and the former holders of Proportionate Voting Shares shall be entered on the register maintained for the Subordinate Voting Shares as holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of the number of Subordinate Voting Shares to which each former holder or holders of Proportionate Voting Shares is entitled pursuant to Article 27.7(a); and

(iii) As soon as practicable on or after the PVS Conversion Date, and in any event within ten (10) days of the PVS Conversion Date, the Company will issue or send, or cause its transfer agent to issue or send certificate(s) or direct registration statement(s) (at the sole discretion of the Company) to each former holder of Proportionate Voting Shares representing the number of Subordinate Voting Shares into which the Proportionate Voting Shares have been converted.

(c)   Effect of Conversion. All Proportionate Voting Shares which shall have been converted pursuant to the PVS Conversion shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights and special rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive Subordinate Voting Shares in exchange therefor in accordance with this Article 27.7.
