(u)Β Investment Company Act. The Company will conduct its affairs in such a manner so as to reasonably ensure that neither it nor its Subsidiaries or Partnerships will be or become, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement, an "investment company," as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act, assuming no change in the Commission's current interpretation as to entities that are not considered an investment company.
(v)Β Securities Act and Exchange Act. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Placement Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus.

9.Β Indemnification and Contribution.
(a)Β Company Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Agents, the directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members employees and agents of the Agents and each person, if any, who (i) controls the Agents within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with the Agents or (iii) who controls the Agents or any of their affiliates within the meaning of Canadian Securities Laws (the "Indemnified Parties" and each an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, reasonable expenses and damages (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable investigative, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any and all amounts paid in settlement (in accordance with Section (c)) of, any action, suit or proceeding between any of the indemnified parties and any indemnifying parties or between any indemnified party and any third party, or otherwise, or any claim asserted), as and when incurred, to which such Agent, or any such person, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, Canadian Securities Laws or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities,Β reasonable expenses or damages arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, on (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or in any free writing prospectus or in any application or other document executed by or on behalf of the Company or based on written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Common Shares under the securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission, (2) the omission or alleged omission to state in any such document a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it not misleading, (3) any breach by any of the indemnifying parties of any of their respective representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, (4) the Company not complying with any requirement of applicable Canadian Securities Laws or U.S. Securities Laws, or (5) any order made or any inquiry, investigation (whether formal or informal) or proceeding commenced or threatened by any securities, regulatory or other competent authority based upon the circumstances described in (1)-(4) above which operates to prevent or restrict the trading in or the distribution of the Placement Shares or any of them in any of the provinces and territories of Canada or the U.S. in connection with the transactions contemplated herein; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to the extent that such loss, claim, liability, reasonable expense or damage arises from the sale of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement and is caused directly or indirectly by an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have; and provided further that if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable determines that the liability, claim, demand, loss, cost, damage or reasonable expense was the result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraudulent misrepresentation of the Indemnified Party, or any material breach of this Agreement by the Indemnified Party, claiming indemnity, such Indemnified Party will promptly reimburse the Company any funds advanced to the Indemnified Party in respect of such liability, claim, demand, loss, cost, damage or reasonable expense and the indemnity provided for in this Section 9 shall cease to apply to such Indemnified Party in respect of such liability, claim, demand, loss, cost, damage or reasonable expense. For greater certainty, the Company and the Agents agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Agents to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Agents with reasonable grounds for believing the Prospectuses contained no misrepresentation shall constitute "gross negligence", "willful misconduct" or "fraudulent misrepresentation" for the purposes of this Section 9 or otherwise disentitle the Agents from indemnification hereunder.
(b)Β Agent Information. The Company acknowledges that the name of the Agents set forth on the cover constitutes the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Agents for inclusion in the Prospectuses (collectively, the "Agent Information").
(c)Β Agents Indemnification. The Agents agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and the Company's affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who (i) controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with the Company or (iii) who controls the Company or any of its affiliates within the meaning of Canadian Securities Laws, from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, losses (other than lost profits), costs, damages and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted) in any way caused by or arising directly or indirectly from or in consequence of: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact relating solely to the Agents that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Agent specifically for inclusion in and contained in the Prospectuses (including any amendment or supplement if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto); or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading made solely in reliance on facts or information relating solely to the Agents or any of them that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Agent specifically for inclusion therein.
(d)Β Procedure. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 9 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 9, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9 and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this Section 9 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 9 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding.
(e)Β Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a) hereof is unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason to an Indemnified Party in respect of any liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses referred to therein, the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable (or, if such indemnity is unavailable only in respect of a portion of the amount so paid or payable, such portion of the amount so paid or payable) by such Indemnified Party as a result of such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses:
(i)Β in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand from the distribution of the Placement Shares; or
(ii)Β if the allocation provided by clause (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 (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand in connection with the matters or things referred to in Section 9(a) hereof which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;
provided that the Agents 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. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other shall be deemed to be in the same ratio as the total Net Proceeds from the distribution of Placement Shares received by the Company is to the Placement Fee received by the Agents. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Agents on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the matters or things referred to in Section 9(a) hereof which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses relate to information supplied by, steps or actions taken or done, or steps or actions not taken or not done by or on behalf of the Company (including indirectly as aforesaid) or to information supplied by, steps or actions taken or done, or steps or actions not taken or not done by or on behalf of the Agents and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation, or other matter or thing referred to in Section 9(a) hereof. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(e) were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9(e).
(f)Β Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(e), if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable determines that a person has been grossly negligent or committed willful misconduct or a fraudulent misrepresentation, such person shall not be entitled to contribution from the Company hereunder.
10.Β Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations and warranties of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of: (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents, their affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees and any controlling persons; (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor; or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.
11.Β Termination.
(a)Β The Agents shall have the right by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time to terminate its obligations under this Agreement if (i) there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the date as of which information is given in a Prospectus, any change, or any development in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the business, properties, earnings, results of operations or prospects of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Partnerships considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, which individually or in the aggregate, has or would be expected to have, in the reasonable opinion of the Agents, a Material Adverse Change or effect on the business or affairs of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Partnerships or on the market price or the value of the Common Shares; (ii) there has occurred any Material Adverse Change in the financial markets in Canada, the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis, including as a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (but only to the extent that there are material adverse impacts related thereto after the date hereof), which individually or in the aggregate, has or would be expected to have, in the reasonable opinion of the Agents, a Material Adverse Change or effect on the business or affairs of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Partnerships or on the market price or the value of the Common Shares; (iii) any suspension or limitation of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall have occurred and be continuing; (iv) a major disruption of securities settlements or clearance services in Canada shall have occurred and, in the reasonable opinion of the Agents, is expected to continue for such period as would prohibit any sale of Placement Shares for the foreseeable future, (iv) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder; provided, however, in the case of any failure of the Company to deliver (or cause another person to deliver) any certification, opinion, or letter required under Sections 7(n), 7(o), or 7(p) such Agent's right to terminate shall not arise unless such failure to deliver (or cause to be delivered) continues for more than thirty (30) days from the date such delivery was required; or (v) any other condition of such Agent's obligations hereunder is not fulfilled. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(f) (Expenses), Section 9 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 10 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 16 (Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction) and Section 19 (Waiver of Jury Trial) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If an Agent elects to terminate its obligations under this Agreement as provided in this Section 11(a), such Agent shall provide the required notice as specified in Section 12 (Notices).
(b)Β The Company shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days' notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement with the Agents in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(f), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 19 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(c)Β The Agents shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days' notice as hereinafter specified to terminate their obligations under this Agreement in its sole discretion (except if terminated by the Agents in accordance with Section 11(a)) at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(f), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 19 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(d)Β Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Section 11, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the issuance and sale of all of the Placement Shares through the Agents on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 7(f), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 19 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(e)Β This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 11(a), Section 11(b), Section 11(c), or Section 11(d)(d) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section7(f), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 19 shall remain in full force and effect.
(f)Β Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the applicable Agent or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
(g)Β In the event that the Company terminates this Agreement, as permitted under Section 11(b), the Company shall be under no continuing obligation, either pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, to utilize the services of the Agents in connection with any sale of securities of the Company or to pay any compensation to the Agents other than compensation with respect to sales of Placement Shares subscribed on or before the termination date and the Company shall be free to engage other placement agents and underwriters before (except with respect to the sale of securities hereunder), from and after the termination date with no continuing obligation to the Agents.

In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as written by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall be given full force and effect to the fullest possible extent that it is valid, legal and enforceable, and the remainder of the terms and provisions herein shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision was not contained herein, but only to the extent that giving effect to such provision and the remainder of the terms and provisions hereof shall be in accordance with the intent of the parties as reflected in this Agreement.

Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement, and its agent for service of process, as applicable, and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than Canadian dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agents could purchase Canadian dollars with such other currency in Toronto, Ontario on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Company in respect of any sum due from it to the Agents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any currency other than Canadian dollars, not be discharged until the first Business Day, following receipt by such Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Canadian dollars with such other currency; if the Canadian dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Agent hereunder, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent against such loss. If the Canadian dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Agent hereunder, such Agent agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the Canadian dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Agent hereunder.

To the extent that the Company, any Subsidiary or Partnership or any of their respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity in any such court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, the Company waives or will waive such right to the extent permitted by law and has consented to such relief and enforcement as provided in Section 17 of this Agreement.

6.Β We have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (other than the documents incorporated therein by reference) and in conferences and telephone conversations with officers and other representatives of the Corporation, the Agents, representatives of the Agents, including their United States counsel, and the independent auditors for the Corporation, during which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and related matters were discussed and, although the limitations inherent in the independent verification of factual matters and the role of outside counsel are such that we have not undertaken to verify independently, and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference therein on the basis of the foregoing, in the course of our work in connection with the matters contemplated by the Equity Distribution Agreement, no information has come to our attention that leads us to believe that (A) the Registration Statement (excluding the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial or statistical information included or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom or from the documents incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no opinion), as of its most recent effective date, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) that as of the date of the U.S. Prospectus, the U.S. Prospectus (excluding the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial or statistical information included or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom or from the documents incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no opinion) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (C) the Disclosure Package as of the Time of Sale, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
7.Β The statements in each of the U.S. Prospectus and the Disclosure Package under the heading "U.S. Cannabis-Related Activities Disclosure", to the extent that they constitute summaries of United States federal and state law or regulations or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by us and fairly summarize the matters described under that heading in all material respects.
8.Β No consent, license, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority, which has not been obtained, taken or made, is required by the Company under any Applicable Law for the Company to conduct its marijuana and hemp-related business as prescribed in the U.S. Prospectus and the Disclosure Package. For purposes of this opinion, the term "Governmental Authority" means any federal executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body of the United States of America.Β For the avoidance of doubt, Governmental Authority excludes any state executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body.
