	2.	 Your Base Salary shall be increased to four hundred forty-seven thousand dollars ($447,000.00 USD)

You will be eligible to participate in Canopy Growth’s Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan,
as approved by the Board and as amended from time to time (the “Incentive Plan”). 












 Not less than once every fiscal year, you will be
eligible to receive a long-term incentive (“LTI”) award of 300% your Base Salary, which utilizes the Fair Market Value share price (as defined in the Incentive Plan) (“FMV price”) on the grant date. The award may be

All such awards shall vest in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Plan unless modified by either
(x) the terms of this Agreement; or (y) the terms of the individual award.
