&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1.1 <u>General</u>. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, its affiliates and each of its and their respective directors, officers, members, employees, representatives, partners, shareholders, affiliates, counsel and agents and each person, if any, who controls any the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the "**Underwriter Indemnified Parties**," and each an "**Underwriter Indemnified Party**"), against any and all loss, liability, claim, judgment, assessment, damage and expense whatsoever (including but not limited to any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, whether arising out of any action between any of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties and the Company or between any of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties and any third party, or otherwise) to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other statute or at common law or otherwise or under the laws of foreign countries (a "**Claim**"): (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any Preliminary Offering Document or any Final Offering Document (as from time to time each may be amended and supplemented); (B) any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the Offering, including any "road show" or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically); or (C) any application or other document or written communication (in this Section 5, collectively called "**application**") executed by the Company or based upon written information furnished by the Company in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Offered Shares under the securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission, any state securities commission or agency, the Nasdaq, any other national securities exchange or the CSE; or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, the Underwriter's Information; (ii) the violation by the Company of any Canadian Securities Laws, United States Securities Laws or laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions where Offered Shares have been offered or sold; or (iii) any breach by the Company of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations to be complied with under this Agreement. The Company also agrees that it will reimburse each Underwriter Indemnified Party for all fees and expenses (including but not limited to any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, whether arising out of any action between any of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties and the Company or between any of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties and any third party, or otherwise) (collectively, the "**Expenses**"), and further agrees to advance payment of Expenses as they are incurred and documented by an Underwriter Indemnified Party in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1.2 <u>Procedure</u>. If any action is brought against an Underwriter Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to Section 5.1.1, such Underwriter Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the institution of such action provided that failure by any Underwriter Indemnified Party shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability which the Company may have on account of this Section 5 or otherwise to such Underwriter Indemnified Party, and the Company shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment and reasonable fees of counsel (subject to the approval of such Underwriter Indemnified Party) and payment of actual expenses if an Underwriter Indemnified Party requests that the Company do so. Such Underwriter Indemnified Party shall also have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company, and shall be advanced by the Company (it being understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), representing the Underwriter Indemnified Parties who are parties to such action). The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). In addition, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action in respect of which advancement, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not such Underwriter Indemnified Party is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of each Underwriter Indemnified Party, acceptable to such Underwriter Indemnified Party, from all liabilities, expenses and claims arising out of such action for which indemnification or contribution may be sought and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Underwriter Indemnified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 <u>Indemnification of the Company</u>. The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and persons who control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, judgement, assessment, damage and expense described in the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Offering Document, the Time of Sale Prospectus or Final Offering Documents or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any application, in reliance upon, and in strict conformity with, the Underwriter's Information. In case any action shall be brought against the Company or any other person so indemnified based on any Preliminary Offering Documents, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or Final Offering Documents or any amendment or supplement thereto or any application, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Underwriter, the Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and the Company and each other person so indemnified shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriter by the provisions of Section 5.1.2. The Company agrees promptly to notify the Underwriter of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Company or any of its officers, directors or any person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Offered Shares or in connection with the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Final Offering Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 <u>Contribution</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3.1 <u>Contribution Rights</u>. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 5.1 or 5.2 in respect of any loss, liability, claim, judgment, assessment, damage or expense, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, judgment, assessment, damage or expense, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, from the Offering, or (ii) 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 Underwriter, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, with respect to such Offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering of the Offered Shares purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter with respect to the Offered Shares purchased under this Agreement, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriter, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 5.3.1 were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriter were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, liability, claim, judgment, assessment, damage or expense, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 5.3.1 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 5.3.1, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.3.1 in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter with respect to the Offering of the Offered Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3.2 <u>Contribution Procedure</u>. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by any party to this Agreement (or its representative) of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such party will, if a claim for contribution in respect thereof is to be made against another party ("**contributing party**"), notify the contributing party of the commencement thereof, but the failure to so notify the contributing party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any other party other than for contribution hereunder. In case any such action, suit or proceeding is brought against any party, and such party notifies a contributing party or its representative of the commencement thereof within the aforesaid 15 days, the contributing party will be entitled to participate therein with the notifying party and any other contributing party similarly notified. Any such contributing party shall not be liable to any party seeking contribution on account of any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding affected by such party seeking contribution on account of any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding affected by such party seeking contribution without the written consent of such contributing party. The contribution provisions contained in this Section 5.3.2 are intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise available.

For the avoidance of any doubt, the Company shall not, during such ninety (90) day period, retain, engage or solicit any additional investment banker, book-runner, financial advisor, underwriter and/or placement agent in a Subject Transaction without complying with the Right of First Refusal.

The Company shall notify the Underwriter of its intention to pursue a Subject Transaction, including the material terms thereof, by providing written notice thereof by email, registered mail or overnight courier service addressed to the Underwriter. If the Underwriter fails to exercise, or is deemed to not exercise by failing to respond, its Right of First Refusal with respect to any Subject Transaction within five (5) days after the receipt of such written notice, then the Underwriter shall have no further claim or right with respect to such Subject Transaction. The Underwriter may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to any Subject Transaction; provided that any such election by the Underwriter shall not adversely affect the Underwriter's Right of First Refusal with respect to any other Subject Transaction during the ninety (90) day period agreed to above.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Aegis Capital Corp. (the "**Underwriter**"), proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the "**Underwriting Agreement**") with Draganfly Inc., a British Columbia corporation (the "Company"), providing for the public offering (the "**Public Offering**") of [●] common shares, no par value, of the Company (the "**Shares**").

To induce the Underwriter to continue its efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending ninety (90) days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the "**Lock-Up Period**"), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the "**Lock-Up Securities**"); (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise; (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities; or (4) publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to any Lock-Up Securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Underwriter in connection with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) transactions
 relating to Lock-Up Securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion
 of the Public Offering; <u>provided</u> that no filing under Section 13 or Section 16(a)
 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**Exchange Act** "),
 or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up
 Period in connection with subsequent sales of Lock-Up Securities acquired in such open market
 transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) transfers
 of Lock-Up Securities as a *bona fide* gift, by will or intestacy or to a family member
 or trust for the benefit of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, "family
 member" means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than
 first cousin);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) transfers
 of Lock-Up Securities to a charity or educational institution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) if
 the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business
 entity,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any
 transfers of Lock-Up Securities to another corporation, partnership or other business entity
 that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the undersigned or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) distributions
 of Lock-Up Securities to members, partners, stockholders, subsidiaries or affiliates (as
 defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) if
 the undersigned is a trust, to a trustee or beneficiary of the trust; <u>provided</u> that in the case of any transfer pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b), (c) (d) or (e),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any
 such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) each
 transferee shall sign and deliver to the Underwriter a lock-up agreement substantially in
 the form of this lock-up agreement and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) no
 filing under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or other public announcement
 shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) the
 transfer of Shares in connection with the vesting, redemption, settlement, or exercise of
 restricted share units, stock options, warrants or other rights or awards to receive or purchase
 Shares (including, in each case, by way of "net" or "cashless" exercise/redemption),
 including for the payment of the exercise or redemption price, transaction fees and/or tax
 withholdings or remittance payments due to tax authorities in Canada or the United States
 (as may be applicable) as a result of the vesting, redemption, settlement, or exercise of
 such securities, provided that any remaining Shares received upon such exercise, redemption,
 vesting, settlement or conversion following such transfer shall be subject to the terms of
 this lock-up agreement and further provided, that the transfer of Shares is limited to the amount needed to satisfy
 such tax obligation related to vesting of equity compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) the
 transfer of Lock-Up Securities pursuant to agreements described in the Time of Sale Prospectus
 under which the Company has the option to repurchase such securities or a right of first
 refusal with respect to the transfer of such securities, <u>provided</u> that if the undersigned
 is required to file a report under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting
 a reduction in beneficial ownership of Shares during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned
 shall include a statement in such schedule or report describing the purpose of the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) the
 entry into, the establishment or amendment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under
 the Exchange Act or automatic securities disposition plans or trading plans to a similar
 effect permitted under applicable Canadian (federal or provincial) laws, rules and regulations,
 for the transfer of Lock-Up Securities, <u>provided</u> that

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) such
 plan does not provide for the transfer of Lock-Up Securities during the Lock-Up Period and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to
 the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of
 or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment
 of such plan, such public announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect
 that no transfer of Lock-Up Securities may be made under such plan during the Lock-Up Period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the
 transfer of Lock-Up Securities that occurs by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified
 domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement, separation agreement or other
 court order, <u>provided</u> that the transferee agrees to sign and deliver a lock-up agreement
 substantially in the form of this lock-up agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period,
 and <u>provided further</u>, that any filing under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Exchange
 Act that is required to be made during the Lock-Up Period as a result of such transfer shall
 include a statement that such transfer has occurred by operation of law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) the
 transfer of Lock-Up Securities to the Company upon the death, disability, termination of
 employment or cessation of services; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) the
 transfer of Lock- Up Securities pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger,
 consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Shares involving a
 change of control (as defined below) of the Company after the closing of the Public Offering
 and approved by the Company's board of directors; <u>provided</u> that in the event
 that the tender offer, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation or other such transaction
 is not completed, the Lock-Up Securities owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to
 the restrictions contained in this lock-up agreement.

For purposes of clause (k) above, "change of control" shall mean the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation or other similar transaction the result of which is that any "person" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d- 5 of the Exchange Act) of a majority of total voting power of the voting shares of the Company. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company's transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned's Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with this lock-up agreement.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company: (i) the undersigned agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed or "friends and family" Shares that the undersigned may purchase in the Public Offering; (ii) the Underwriter agrees that, at least three (3) Business Days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Lock-Up Securities, the Underwriter will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver; and (iii) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two (2) Business Days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Underwriter hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two (2) Business Days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer of Lock-Up Securities not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this lock-up agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of such transfer.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriter are relying upon this lock-up agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this lock-up agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned's heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

The undersigned understands that, if the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by [●], 2023 or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Shares to be sold thereunder, then this lock-up agreement shall be void and of no further force or effect.

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter.
