Section
2.08  Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of Merger Sub, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective

of Organization and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.


Section
2.09  Effect of the Merger on Common Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action
on the part of 4Front, Merger Sub, the Company or the Shareholder:


(a)       Cancellation
of Certain Company Common Stock. Shares of Company Common Stock (the “Shares”) that are owned by 4Front, Merger
Sub or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries, in each case
prior to the Effective Time, shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered

(b)       Conversion
of Company Common Stock. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares to be cancelled
and retired in accordance with Section 2.09(a), and (ii) Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Closing
Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest.


(c)       Conversion
of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, no par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of

Issuance of Common Stock of Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall issue 9,000 newly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock to 4Front as consideration for 4Front assuming the obligations under this Agreement
to deliver and issue, at the Effective Time, the Closing Date Payment, the Seller Note (if applicable) and the Consideration Shares.


Section
2.10  Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 2.09,
Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares cancelled in accordance with Section 2.09(a))
and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised
appraisal rights of such Shares in accordance with the MBCA (such Shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares”
until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the MBCA with respect to
such Shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only
such rights as are granted by the MBCA; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect,
withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to the MBCA or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine
that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by the MBCA, such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of
the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant
to Section 2.09(b), without interest thereon. The Company shall provide 4Front prompt written notice of any demands received by
the Company for appraisal of Shares, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company
prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the MBCA that relates to such demand, and 4Front shall have the opportunity and right to direct
all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of 4Front, the Company shall not
make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

Section
2.11  No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. All Merger Consideration paid or payable upon the surrender
of certificates in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid or payable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining
to the Shares formerly represented by such certificate, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration
of transfers of Shares on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, certificates are presented
to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with
the procedures set forth, in this Article II and elsewhere in this Agreement.


Section
2.12  Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between
the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur, including
by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment
of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this
Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.


Section
2.13  Withholding Rights. Each of 4Front, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article II such amounts as may be required to
be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so
deducted and withheld by 4Front, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which 4Front, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may
be, made such deduction and withholding.


Section
2.14  Adjustment of Inventory Payment Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.03(a),
the parties acknowledge and agree that the Inventory Payment Amount stated therein is based on their mutual assumption that the Company
will transfer and deliver to 4Front and its Affiliates an aggregate of one thousand four hundred fifty (1,450) pounds of cannabis products
(the “Baseline Product Quantity”) between the date hereof and the Closing Date (inclusive of any such products in the
Company’s inventory on the Closing Date). To the extent that the aggregate quantity of cannabis products actually transferred and
delivered by the Company to 4Front and its Affiliates hereunder (inclusive of any such products in the Company’s inventory on the
Closing Date, the “Actual Product Quantity”) is less than, or greater than, the Baseline Product Quantity, the Inventory
Payment Amount shall be adjusted as follows:




    	4817-8152-4729.10
	 10	 



     


    

 


(a)       if
the Actual Product Quantity is less than the Baseline Product Quantity, the Inventory Payment Amount will be equal to: (i) $2,000,000.00
USD multiplied by (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the Actual Product Quantity and (B) the denominator of which is
the Baseline Product Quantity; and


(b)       if
the Actual Product Quantity is greater than the Baseline Product Quantity, 4Front and the Shareholder will negotiate in good faith to
determine a mutually acceptable price with respect to the excess of the Actual Product Quantity over the Baseline Product Quantity.


By way of example only with
respect to Section 2.14(a), if the Actual Product Quantity is one thousand (1,000) pounds, the Inventory Payment Amount (as adjusted)
would be equal to $2,000,000.00 USD * (1,000 / 1,450) = $1,379,310.34 USD. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company transfers and delivers
exactly the Baseline Product Quantity to 4Front and its Affiliates hereunder, the Inventory Payment Amount stated in Section 2.03(a)
(i.e., $2,000,000.00 USD) will not be adjusted.

the Consideration Shares may not be transferred or sold except pursuant to Canadian Securities Laws or the registration provisions of
the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom and subject to state securities laws and regulations, as applicable.

his investment), and has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits
and risk of his investment. The Shareholder has had the opportunity to visit with 4Front and meet with the officers of 4Front and other

documents and other information that the Shareholder deems necessary or advisable to evaluate 4Front and the Consideration Shares and

represents that he does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, contribute, transfer
or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Consideration Shares. The Shareholder is a person
or company outside of Canada and the acquisition of the Consideration Shares is not part of a plan or scheme to avoid the prospectus requirements

of certain information to the CSE as required to be included in Form 9 in connection with the Merger and the Real Estate Acquisition;

filed any confidential material change report which at the date of this Agreement remains confidential.


(c)       4Front

(d)       Except
as disclosed in the Canadian Filings, there has not been any material change in the capital, assets, liabilities or obligations (absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise) of 4Front and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole) from the position set forth in the 4Front Financial
Statements (as defined below), and there has not been any adverse material change in the business, operations, capital, properties, assets,
liabilities (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise), financial condition or results of operations of 4Front and its subsidiaries
(taken as a whole) since June 30, 2021; and since that date there have been no material facts, transactions, events or occurrences which
would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the business, operations, capital, properties, assets, liabilities (absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise), financial condition or results of operations of 4Front and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole).


Section
4.09  Financial Statements. 4Front’s (a) audited financial statements consisting of the consolidated balance
sheet of 4Front as at December 31, 2020 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’
equity and cash flows for the year then ended (the “4Front Audited Financial Statements”), and (b) unaudited interim
financial statements consisting of the condensed consolidated balance sheet of 4Front as of June 30, 2021 and the related condensed consolidated
interim statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month period
then ended (the “4Front Interim Financial Statements” and together with 4Front Audited Financial Statements, the “4Front
Financial Statements”) as filed on the SEC’s EDGAR database have been prepared in accordance with GAAP subject, in the
case of 4Front Interim Financial Statements, to normal and recurring year-end adjustments and the absence of notes (that, if presented,
would not differ materially from those presented in 4Front Audited Financial Statements). The 4Front Financial Statements are based on
the books and records of 4Front, and, in all material respects, fairly present the financial condition of 4Front and each subsidiary of
4Front as of the respective dates they were prepared and the results of the operations of 4Front for the periods indicated.


Section

(a)       4Front
and each subsidiary of 4Front has complied and is now complying with all applicable Laws applicable to it or its business, properties
or assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) Laws relating to illegal payments and bribes; and (ii) applicable Laws relating
to illegal political contributions, including all requirements of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, and the regulations
thereunder, as amended from time to time), except where failure to comply with such Laws would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

(b)       All
Permits required for 4Front and each subsidiary of 4Front to conduct its business have been obtained by it and are valid and in full force
and effect except where such failure to obtain or maintain such Permit would not have a Material Adverse Effect. All fees and charges
with respect to such Permits as of the date hereof have been paid in full. To the knowledge of 4Front, no event has occurred that, without
notice or lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, suspension, lapse or limitation of any Permit
where such revocation, suspension, lapse or limitation would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

compliance with applicable Law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act and Canadian Securities Laws and any applicable state
or provincial securities laws or regulations. In addition, the Shareholder covenants and agrees that during the 18-month period following
the Closing Date, on any individual trading day, the Shareholder will only be permitted to Liquidate (as defined below) up to that number
of Consideration Shares which is equal to ten percent (10%) of the average daily trading volume with respect to the 4Front Shares (as
reported by the CSE) for the 5-trading day period immediately preceding the date of the transaction. The limitations set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence shall be measured on an aggregate basis, taking into account any sales or other Liquidations of Consideration
Shares by the Shareholder or his Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the next trading day immediately following the
18-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the limitations set forth in this Section 5.10 shall expire and be of no further force
or effect. For purposes of this Section 5.10, the term “Liquidate” means the Shareholder’s direct or indirect
(i) offer, pledge, sale, contract to sell, grant of any option or contract to purchase, purchase of any option or contract to sell or
otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Consideration Shares or any securities
convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for 4Front
Shares or (ii) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole
or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Consideration
Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to
be settled by delivery of 4Front Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section
5.10 shall not prohibit the Shareholder from Liquidating, and the Shareholder shall be permitted to Liquidate, any amount
of Consideration Shares pursuant to a block
trade or other private sale of Consideration Shares,
provided that such Liquidation (A) is made to one or more bona fide third party purchasers, none of whom/which is an Affiliate of the
Shareholder, directly or indirectly, (B) must be made in compliance with the Securities Act and Canadian Securities Laws, and (C) such
Liquidation shall not be made at a discount of greater than ten percent (10%) of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the 4Front
Shares calculated for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of such Liquidation.

Stock Consideration Designee shall, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, provide to 4Front, in a form reasonably

of the same kind and nature given by the Shareholder herein relating to and necessary for the Shareholder’s receipt of the Consideration
Shares, (B) covenanting to abide by the restrictions set forth in Section 5.10(a) and (C) consenting to the disclosure
of information to the CSE in accordance with Section 3.15; and (ii) information and documentation of the same kind and nature provided
by the Shareholder in connection with and necessary for the valid issuance of the Consideration
Shares. With respect to any Stock Consideration Designee that does not provide the agreement and information set forth in this
Section 5.10(b), 4Front shall not be obligated to issue any Consideration
Shares to such Stock Consideration Designee pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) despite being so designated by the Shareholder,
and 4Front shall instead issue such portion of the Consideration
Shares to the Shareholder.


Section
5.11  Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, the Shareholder shall, and shall cause his Affiliates to, hold,
and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their respective Representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information,
whether written or oral, concerning the Company, except to the extent that the Shareholder can show that such information (a) is generally
available to and known by the public through no fault of the Shareholder, any of his Affiliates or their respective Representatives; or
(b) is lawfully acquired by the Shareholder, any of his Affiliates or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from
sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If the Shareholder
or any of his Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process
or by other requirements of Law, the Shareholder shall promptly notify 4Front in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such
information which the Shareholder is advised by his counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that the Shareholder
shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment
will be accorded such information.


Section
5.12  Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.


(a)       For
a period of five (5) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), the Shareholder shall not, and
shall not permit any of his Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Restricted Business
in the Territory; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business in the Territory
in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) intentionally
interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between
the Company and customers or suppliers of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder may own, directly or indirectly,
solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if the Shareholder is not a controlling Person
of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own five percent (5%) or more of any class
of securities of such Person.

of the Company or encourage any such employee to leave such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed
specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.12(b) shall prevent the Shareholder or any
of his Affiliates from soliciting any employee whose employment has been terminated by the Company or 4Front or (ii) after 180 days from
the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.


(c)       During
the Restricted Period, the Shareholder shall not, and shall not permit any of his Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit or entice,
or attempt to solicit or entice, any clients or customers of the Company or potential clients or customers of the Company for purposes
of diverting their business or services from the Company; provided that nothing in this Section 5.12(c) shall prevent Shareholder
or any of his Affiliates from engaging in general advertisement or solicitation that is not directed specifically to any such clients
or customers.


(d)       The
Shareholder acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.12 would give rise to irreparable harm to 4Front,
for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by
the Shareholder of any such obligations, 4Front shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it
in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance
and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).


(e)       The
Shareholder acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.12 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of 4Front and constitute a material inducement to 4Front to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.12 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time,
geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered
to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or
service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.12 and each provision hereof
are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.


Section
5.13  Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation
shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments
or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect
or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights,
properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the
Merger.

Tax matters

6.01  Tax Covenants.


(a)       Without
the prior written consent of 4Front, prior to the Closing, the Company, its Representatives and the Shareholder shall not make, change
or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or
enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of 4Front or the
Surviving Corporation in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period. The Company and the Shareholder agree that 4Front and its Affiliates
are to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of the Company, any of its Representatives or the Shareholder. The Shareholder
shall indemnify and hold harmless 4Front and its Affiliates against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset.


(b)       All
transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest)
incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar
Tax) shall be borne and paid by the Shareholder when due; provided, however, that for avoidance of doubt the filing fee
for the Change of Ownership and Control Application with the CCC shall be borne and paid for by 4Front. The Shareholder shall timely file
any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and 4Front shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).


Section
6.02  Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written
or not) binding upon the Company or the Shareholder shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date neither the Company nor
any of its Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.


Section
6.03  Tax Indemnification. The Shareholder shall indemnify the Company, 4Front and each 4Front Indemnitee and hold
them harmless from and against (a) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section
3.12; (b) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or
obligation in Article VI; (c) all Taxes of the Company or relating to the business of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods;
(d) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the
Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any
comparable provisions of foreign, state or local Law; and (e) any and all Taxes of any person imposed on the Company arising under the
principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date.
In each of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees)
incurred in connection therewith, the Shareholder shall reimburse 4Front for any Taxes of the Company that are the responsibility of the
Shareholder pursuant to this Section 6.03 within 10 Business Days after payment of such Taxes by 4Front or the Company.

Section
6.04  Tax Returns.


(a)       The
Company and the Shareholder shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed
by it that are due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions), and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and
payable on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions), and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and payable on
or before the Closing Date. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required
by Law).


(b)       4Front
shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the
Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and for any Straddle Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent
with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and, if it is an income or other material Tax Return, shall be submitted by 4Front
to the Shareholder (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by the Shareholder, supporting documentation) at
least 30 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If the Shareholder objects to any item on any such Tax
Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, he shall, within 10 days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify 4Front in writing
that he so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection.
If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, 4Front and the Shareholder shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best
efforts to resolve such items. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period
or Straddle Period shall be exclusively within the control of 4Front.


Section
6.05  Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and
ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated
as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:


(a)       in
the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with
the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the
taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and


(b)       in
the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is
the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.


Section
6.06  Contests. 4Front agrees to give written notice to the Shareholder of the receipt of any written notice by the
Company, 4Front or any of 4Front’s Affiliates that involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect
of which an indemnity may be sought by 4Front pursuant to this Article VI (a “Tax Claim”); provided,
that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect 4Front’s right to indemnification hereunder. 4Front shall control
the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that 4Front shall obtain the prior written consent of the
Shareholder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim
or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided further, that the Shareholder shall be entitled to participate in the defense of
such claim and to employ counsel of his choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely
by the Shareholder.

Section
6.07  Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Shareholder, the Company and 4Front shall provide each other with
such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the others in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article
VI or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation and information shall
include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents
relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of the Shareholder, the Company and 4Front shall retain all Tax Returns,
schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period
beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns
and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by any of the other parties in writing of such
extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers,
records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing
Date, the Shareholder, the Company or 4Front (as the case may be) shall provide the other parties with reasonable written notice and offer
the other parties the opportunity to take custody of such materials.


Section
6.08  Tax Treatment of Merger and Indemnification Payments.


(a)       For
U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the parties intend that the Merger qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). No party hereto or any of their Affiliates shall take any position
contrary to the Intended Tax Treatment on any Tax Return or in connection with any audit, assessment, Tax Claim, action or other Tax proceeding
with any taxing authority; provided, however, that each party has relied on its own independent Tax advisors relating to
the Intended Tax Treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and no party is relying on another
party with respect to the same.


(b)       Any
indemnification payments pursuant to this Article VI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the parties
for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.


Section
6.09  Payments to 4Front. Any amounts payable to 4Front or any other 4Front Indemnitee pursuant to this Article
VI shall be satisfied by the Shareholder.

by Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-3(c)) (the “FIPRTA Statement”).


Section
6.11  Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.12
and this Article VI shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation
or extension thereof) plus 60 days.


Section
6.12  Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article VIII may overlap with
an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Article VI, the provisions of this Article VI shall govern.

shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date.
All covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein (other than any covenants or agreements contained in Article VI which

be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

	 38	 



     


    

 


(b)       any
breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company or the Shareholder pursuant to this

VI, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such breach, violation or failure shall be pursuant to Article VI); or


(c)       any

the limitations set forth in Section 8.04, 4Front shall indemnify and defend each of the Shareholder and his Affiliates and their

from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Shareholder
Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:


(a)       any
inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of 4Front or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or in any certificate
or instrument delivered by or on behalf of 4Front or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty
was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that
expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);
or


(b)       any

in which event the Shareholder shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar (provided, however,
that the Basket shall not apply with respect to Losses arising out of breaches of Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section
3.03 or Section 3.14). The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Shareholder shall be liable pursuant to Section
8.02(a), Article VI, and Section 8.02(a) of the Real Estate MIPA shall not exceed the Cap as defined in the Real Estate MIPA
(the “Cap”).




    	4817-8152-4729.10
	 39	 



     


    

 


(b)       4Front
shall not be liable to the Shareholder Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.03(a) until the aggregate amount of all
Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.03(a) exceeds the Basket, in which event 4Front shall be required to pay or
be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar (provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply with respect to
Losses arising out of breaches of Section 4.01 or Section 4.04). The aggregate amount of all Losses for which 4Front shall
be liable pursuant to Section 8.03(a) and Section 8.03(a) of the Real Estate MIPA shall not exceed the Cap.


(c)       For
purposes of this Article VIII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard
to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation
or warranty.


(d)       In
the event that the subject matter of any claim by 4Front Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02 is covered by any insurance
(including title insurance) held by 4Front, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and/or any of their respective Affiliates (following
the Closing) or any third party indemnification agreement or the like to which 4Front, the Surviving Corporation and/or any of their respective
Affiliates (following the Closing) is a beneficiary, the amount for which such 4Front Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under
Section 8.02 shall be reduced by the amount of insurance or other indemnification proceeds actually received (net of any costs
or expenses incurred in obtaining such recoveries, including any increases in insurance premiums reasonably attributable to the applicable
claim). In the event that any 4Front Indemnitee receives insurance proceeds after being paid by the Shareholder with respect to an indemnifiable
matter under Section 8.02, 4Front Indemnitee in receipt of such insurance proceeds will remit such proceeds to the Shareholder
(net of any costs or expenses incurred in obtaining such recoveries, including any resulting increases in insurance premiums); provided
that the remittance of such insurance proceeds shall not exceed the amount previously paid by the Shareholder with respect to such matter.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) nothing in this section shall be deemed to waive or limit the subrogation rights of any insurer and (ii)
nothing in this section shall be deemed to impose any obligation on 4Front or the Surviving Corporation to pursue recovery from any such
insurance or third-party agreement, nor to maintain any of the same.


Section
8.05  Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified
Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying
Party”. For purposes of this Article VIII, (i) if 4Front (or any other 4Front Indemnitee) comprises the Indemnified Party,
any references to Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make payments) shall be deemed to refer to the Shareholder,
and (ii) if 4Front comprises the Indemnifying Party, any references to the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to refer to the Shareholder.


(a)       Third
Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person
who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third
Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification
under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event
not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice
shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying
Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim
in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably
practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate
in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s
expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided,
that if the Indemnifying Party is the Shareholder, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense
of any such Third Party Claim that (i) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company,
or (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes
the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary
to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified
Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject
to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense
of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (y) there are legal
defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (z)
there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party
shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified
Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly
notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the
defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party
Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The Shareholder
and 4Front shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including
making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket
expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of
the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b)       Settlement
of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement
of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b).
If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation
on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all
liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer,
the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to
such firm offer within 10 days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party
Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such
settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim,
the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim.
If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the
written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)       Direct
Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct
Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but
in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written
notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying
Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable
detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable,
of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of
such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional
advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount
is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving
such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any
accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying
Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case
the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the
provisions of this Agreement.


(d)       Tax
Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect
of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in
Section 3.12 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation
in Article VI) shall be governed exclusively by Article VI hereof.


Section
8.06  Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to
this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication
by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any
such obligations within such 15-Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement
of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum
equal to eight percent (8%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed,
without compounding.

Section
8.07  Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated
by the parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.


Section
8.08  Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 5.12 and Section 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree
that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful
misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant
to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI and this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party
hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have
against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law,
except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI and this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section
8.09 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek
any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

PROMISSORY NOTE AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT





	USD$5,000,000.00	[__________], 2021






 


For
value received, [4Front Ventures Corp., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada (“4Front”),
and Mission Partners RE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mission Partners RE” and collectively with 4Front,
“Maker”)],[1] jointly and
severally promise to pay to the order of Kenneth V. Stevens, an individual residing in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (“Holder”),
or his permitted transferees or assigns, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the aggregate
principal amount of Five Million Dollars and No/100 Cents (USD$5,000,000.00), together with interest thereon calculated as provided below,
in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Promissory Note and Pledge Agreement (this “Note and Pledge”).


1.       Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement. This Note and Pledge is being executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by that certain
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October [__], 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Holder, Mission
Partners and 4Front, and is subject to the provisions thereof. Initially capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note and Pledge
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Merger Agreement.


2.       Maturity
Date; Prepayments. The outstanding principal amount of this Note and Pledge, all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other
amounts payable under this Note and Pledge shall be due and payable on the second (2nd) anniversary of the date of this Note and Pledge
(the “Maturity Date”). Maker may prepay its obligations under this Note and Pledge in whole or in part, at any time
or from time to time, without penalty or premium, by paying the outstanding principal amount together with all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon.


3.       Interest.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding principal amount of this Note and Pledge shall bear interest at an annual rate of
ten percent (10%) from the date hereof until such time as Maker’s obligations under this Note and Pledge are paid in full, whether
at maturity, upon acceleration, by prepayment or otherwise. Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears to Holder within ten (10) days
after the end of each calendar month. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365/366 days, as the case may
be, and the actual number of days elapsed.


4.       Payment
Mechanics. All payments of interest and principal shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America on the date on which
such payment is due by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Holder’s account at a bank specified by Holder in writing
to Maker from time to time. All payments made hereunder shall be applied first, to the payment of any fees or charges outstanding hereunder,
second, to accrued but unpaid interest and third, to the payment of the principal amount outstanding under this Note and Pledge. Whenever
any payment to be made hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day and such extension will be taken into account in calculating the amount of interest payable under this Note and Pledge.
