    below:

    (a) both Parties receipt of their independent requisite licenses issued by Health Canada;

    (b) bulk transfer approval by Health Canada, if required; and

    (c) receipt of regulatory approval, as required, of the Transaction and this Agreement.

    (collectively, the "Conditions Precedent").

    1. Transaction

    1.1. Definitions

    A. Smalls - smaller size cannabis flower buds that are larfy (not dense) and typically of lower potency than other cannabis flowers.

    B. Shake - small pieces of cannabis flower that break from larger cannabis buds, generally as the result of regular handling.

    E. Winterization - the process of diluting cannabis or hemp extraction with food-grade ethanol and storing the solution in a sub-zero Fahrenheit freezer to cause waxes and lipids to come out of solution for removal by filtration.

    F. Cannabis (Hemp) Oil - oil (cannabinoids and essential oils) extracted from cannabis (hemp) plant biomass using a solvent (CO2, Ethanol or other hydrocarbon). If required, the extracted oil is winterized and filtered to remove waxes and lipids. All solvent is removed from the resultant oil. If terpenes are recovered as part of the extraction process, they are re-added to the resultant oil.

    G. Cannabis (Hemp) Distillate - cannabis (hemp) oil that is further distilled using short path distillation, wiped film distillation, or other distillation equipment to achieve a higher cannabinoid concentration.

    H. Standard Processing - to alter the chemical or physical properties of cannabis and/or hemp by the use of a solvent to produce cannabis oil, hemp oil, cannabis distillate, or hemp distillate. This further includes preparation of these oils and distillates into specific formulations for various cannabis or hemp consumer packaged goods products.

    I. Cannabis Distillate Formulation - product derived from distillate through mixing with terpenes and /or diluent(s) without further processing (e.g. sonication, recrystallization etc.)

    1.2. The Parties will co-operate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfil the Conditions Precedent by April 13th, 2020. Each Party shall keep the other informed on a timely basis of its efforts in this regard.

    A. Client may, on a non-exclusive basis, provide Adastra with cannabis flower, small flower (Smalls), Shake, and/or Trim (collectively, "Biomass Material") for: (i) standard processing by Adastra on behalf of Client to produce cannabis winterized crude, Cannabis Distillate (>90% total cannabinoid concentration) and/or Cannabis Distillate Formulations as communicated to Adastra by Client; and (ii) package such processed material in accordance with instructions received from Client and agreed by Adastra (such processed material alone or as so packaged collectively called "Final Product") and, together with the Biomass Material, (collectively, "Product"). The Parties acknowledge and agree that this arrangement is non-exclusive and Client may engage one or more other entities to provide the same or similar processing services to those agreed to be provided herein by Adastra.

    B. Biomass Material that has been sifted to remove Kief and/or contains fan leaves, stems and/or seeds, will result in lower yields and lower quality extracts. Client will only provide un-sifted Biomass Material.

    C. Client is under no obligation to provide Biomass Material to Adastra for processing under this Agreement. However, if Client does provide Biomass Material to Adastra for processing under this Agreement, the minimum Biomass Material batch size to be provided from Client to Adastra for processing shall be no less than a minimum of 100 kilograms (KG) up to 1,000 KG, as Client may from time to time determine.

    14.4 Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

    14.5 No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver. A Party's failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right it may have.

    14.7 If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal exists or is taken, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

    14.8 This Agreement is private to the Parties and may not be assigned without the consent of the other Party.

    14.9 This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts as may be necessary or by facsimile or such other electronic means and each such counterpart agreement or facsimile so executed are deemed to be an original and such counterparts and facsimile copies together will constitute one and the same instrument.
