	5.2	The
    Consultant’s obligations under this Section 5 do not apply to any Confidential Information that the Consultant can demonstrate:

    at or subsequent to the time the Confidential Information was communicated to the Consultant by the Company; or (c) was independently
    developed by the Consultant without use of, or reference to, any Confidential Information communicated to the Consultant by the Company.
    A disclosure of any Confidential Information by Consultant in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body or

    provided, however, that the Consultant provides prompt prior written notice thereof to the Company to enable the Company to seek
    a protective order or otherwise prevent the disclosure
	 	 
	5.3	The
    Consultant acknowledges that the Confidential Information is a valuable and unique asset of the Company and that the Confidential
    Information is and will remain the exclusive property of the Company. The Consultant agrees to maintain securely and hold in strict
    confidence all Confidential Information received, acquired or developed by the Consultant or disclosed to the Consultant as a result
    of or in connection with the Services. The Consultant and the Principal agree that, both during and after the termination of this
    Agreement, the Consultant and the Principal will not, directly or indirectly, divulge, communicate, use, copy or disclose or permit
    others to use, copy or disclose, any Confidential Information to any person, except as such disclosure may be consented to by prior
    written authorization of the board of directors of the Company.
	 	 
	5.4	The
    Consultant may use the Confidential Information solely to perform the Services for the benefit of Company. The Consultant shall treat
    all Confidential Information with the same degree of care as the Consultant accords to the Consultant’s own confidential information,
    but in no case shall the Consultant use less than reasonable care. The Consultant shall immediately give notice to the Company of
    any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. The Consultant shall assist the Company in remedying any unauthorized
    use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.
	 	 
	5.5	All
    Confidential Information and any materials and items (including, without limitation, software, equipment, tools, artwork, documents,
    drawings, papers, diskettes, tapes, models, apparatus, sketches, designs and lists) that the Company furnishes to the Consultant,
    whether delivered to the Consultant by the Company or made by the Consultant in the performance of the Services, and whether or not
    they contain or disclose Confidential Information (collectively, the “Company Property”), are the sole and exclusive
    property of the Company or the Company’s affiliates, suppliers or customers. The Consultant agrees to treat the Company Property
    with the same degree of care as the Consultant treats its own property, but in no case shall the Consultant use less than reasonable
    care. Within five (5) days after any request by the Company, the Consultant shall destroy or deliver to the Company, at the Company’s
    option: (a) all Company Property and (b) all materials and items in the Consultant’s possession or control that contain or
    disclose any Confidential Information. The Consultant will provide the Company a written certification of the Consultant’s
    compliance with the Consultant’s obligations under this Section 5.5.

	5.6	During
    the term of this Agreement, the Consultant will not accept work, enter into a contract or accept an obligation in breach of the Consultant’s

    The Consultant warrants that, to the best of the Consultant’s knowledge, there is no other existing contract or duty on the
    Consultant’s part that conflicts with or is inconsistent with this Agreement.
	 	 
	5.7	The
    Consultant represents and warrants that the Consultant has not used and will not use, while performing the Services, any materials
    or documents of another company which the Consultant is under a duty not to disclose. The Consultant understands that, while performing
    the Services, the Consultant shall not breach any obligation or confidence or duty the Consultant may have to any current or former
    client or employer. The Consultant represents and warrants that it will not, to the best of its knowledge and belief, use or cause
    to be incorporated in any of the Consultant’s work product, any data software, information, designs, techniques or know-how
    which the Consultant or the Company does not have the right to use.
	 	 
	5.8	The
    Consultant will indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all third party claims, suits, actions, demands
    and proceedings against the Company and all losses, costs, damages, expenses, fees and liabilities related thereto arising out of
    or related to: (a) an allegation that any item, material or other deliverable delivered by the Consultant under this Agreement infringes
    any intellectual property rights or publicity rights of a third party; (b) an alleged breach by the Consultant of any agreement between

    without limitation, any breach of this Agreement by the Consultant.

    Business of the Company or to actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development by the Company or its affiliates; or (e)

    	- 8 -

    

 

	6.2	All
    Company Innovations shall be the exclusive property of the Company and the Company shall have sole discretion to deal with Company
    Innovations. The Consultant agrees that no intellectual property rights in the Company Innovations are or shall be retained by the
    Consultant. For greater certainty, all work done during the Term by the Consultant for the Company or its affiliates is the sole
    property of the Company or its affiliates, as the case may be, as the first author for copyright purposes and in respect of which
    all copyright shall vest in the Company or the relevant affiliate, as the case may be.
	 	 
	6.3	The
    Consultant agrees to maintain adequate and current records of all Company Innovations, which records shall be and remain the property
    of the Company. The Consultant agrees to promptly disclose and describe to the Company all Company Innovations. The Consultant hereby
    does and will irrevocably assign to the Company or the Company’s designee all of the Consultant’s right, title and interest
    in and to any and all Company Innovations and all associated records.
	 	 
	6.4	In
    consideration of the benefits to be received by the Consultant under the terms of this Agreement, the Consultant hereby irrevocably
    sells, assigns and transfers, and agrees in the future to sell, assign and transfer all right, title and interest in and to the Company
    Innovations and intellectual property rights therein, including, without limitation, all patents, copyright, industrial design, circuit
    topography and trademarks, and any goodwill associated therewith in Canada, the United States and worldwide to the Company and the
    Consultant shall hold all the benefits of the rights, title and interest mentioned above in trust for the Company prior to the assignment
    to the Company, save and except for any moral rights which the Consultant shall waive. To the extent any of the rights, title and
    interest in and to Company Innovations cannot be assigned by the Consultant to the Company, the Consultant hereby grants to the Company
    an exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up license (with rights to sublicense through multiple
    tiers of sublicensees) to fully use, practice and exploit those non-assignable rights, title and interest, including, but not limited
    to, the right to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, have made, and have sold, the Company Innovations. To the extent any of
    the rights, title and interest in and to the Company Innovations can neither be assigned nor licensed by the Consultant to the Company,
    the Consultant hereby irrevocably waives and agrees never to assert the non-assignable and non-licensable rights, title and interest
    against the Company, any of the Company’s successors in interest, or any of the Company’s customers.
	 	 
	6.5	The
    Consultant agrees to perform, during and after the Term, all acts that the Company deems necessary or desirable to permit and assist
    the Company, at its expense, in obtaining, perfecting and enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title throughout the
    world in the Company Innovations as provided to the Company under this Agreement. If the Company is unable for any reason to secure
    the Consultant’s signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register or memorialize the assignment of any rights
    under any Company Innovations as provided under this Agreement, the Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company
    and the Company’s duly authorized officers and agents as the Consultant’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and
    on the Consultant’s behalf and instead of the Consultant to take all lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution,
    registration, memorialization of assignment, issuance and enforcement of rights in, to and under the Company Innovations, all with
    the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Consultant. The foregoing is deemed a power coupled with an interest and is
    irrevocable.

 

    	 

    	- 9 -

    

 

	6.6	If
    the Consultant incorporates or permits to be incorporated any Innovations relating in any way, at the time of conception, reduction
    to practice, creation, derivation, development or making of the Innovation, to the Company’s business or actual or demonstrably
    anticipated research or development but which were conceived, reduced to practice, created, derived, developed or made by the Consultant
    (solely or jointly) either unrelated to the Consultant’s work for Company under this Agreement or prior to the Effective Date
    (collectively, the “Out-of-Scope Innovations”) into any of the Company Innovations, then the Consultant hereby
    grants to the Company and the Company’s designees a royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up license
    (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to fully use, practice and exploit all patent, copyright, moral
    right, mask work, trade secret and other intellectual property rights relating to the Out-of-Scope Innovations. Notwithstanding the
    foregoing, the Consultant agrees that the Consultant shall not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, any Innovations conceived,
    reduced to practice, created, derived, developed or made by others or any Out-of-Scope Innovations into any Company Innovations without
    the Company’s prior written consent.

	8.	GENERAL
	 	 
	8.1	This

    Agreement will be valid or effective unless in writing and signed by all of the parties.
	 	 
	8.2	The
    Principal undertakes to ensure the Consultant fulfills all of its obligations under this Agreement, and not to do anything which

    of the Consultant’s obligations in Sections 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement.
	 	 
	8.3	The
    Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement are of a unique character that gives them particular value, and that the breach

    money damages if appropriate), without the need to post a bond.
	 	 
	8.4	The
    Consultant and the Principal acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Sections 5, 6 and 7 are, in view of the nature of the
    Business of the Company, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, that the Company would not
    have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions and that any violation of any provision of those Sections could
    result in irreparable injury to the Company. The Consultant agrees that, in the event it violates any of the restrictions referred
    to in Section 5, 6 and 7, the Company shall be entitled to such injunctive relief or other remedies at law or in equity which the
    Court deems fit.

 

    	 

    	- 11 -

    

 

	8.5	The
    Consultant expressly acknowledges that this Agreement is reasonable and valid in all respects and irrevocably waives (and irrevocably
    agrees not to raise) as a defence any issue of reasonableness in any proceeding to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the intention

    	- 2 -

    

 

NOW
THEREFORE in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Independent Consultant Agreement
Amending Agreement (this “Amending Agreement”), including the increase to the Consultant’s consulting fees and
the grant of restricted share units, and in exchange for the Consultant and Principal’s continued engagement, the Parties agree
to amend the Independent Consultant Agreement as follows:

 

	1.	Provision
                                            3.1 entitled “Consideration for Services” in the Independent Consultant Agreement
                                            will be replaced with the following:

 

As
compensation for carrying out the Services during the term of this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to the Consultant a consulting
fee in the amount of CAD $400,000 per year for the remainder of this Agreement or until any change is mutually agreed upon. All fees
will be paid on a monthly basis upon submission of an invoice.

 

	2.	Provision
                                            3.2 entitled “Consideration for Services” will be added into the Independent
                                            Consultant Agreement as follows:

 

As
further compensation for carrying out the Services during the term of this Agreement, the Consultant will be eligible to receive an annual
success fee (the “Success Fee”) ‎as determined by the Company in its sole ‎discretion. The Success Fee, if
any, for a given year: (i) will be determined following the completion of the Company’s financial year ‎each year, based on
performance metrics to be determined by the Company’s ‎compensation committee in its sole discretion; (ii) will be paid following
the completion of such year; and (iii) is not ‎earned or accrued until and unless the Consultant is engaged on the last day of the
period for ‎which the Success Fee is payable. ‎ The Consultant understands and agrees that payment of a Success Fee should not
be considered to be expected compensation and the payment of a Success Fee in any one or successive years shall not create an entitlement
to a Success Fee in any subsequent year.

 

Beginning
in the calendar year of 2021, the Consultant’s target annual Success Fee is CDN$300,000.00, pro-rated to the date of this Amending
Agreement for 2021.

 

	3.	Provision
                                            3.3 entitled “Consideration for Services” will be added into the Independent
                                            Consultant Agreement as follows:

 

Subject
to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, the Company shall grant to the Consultant 40,000 restricted share units (“RSU”)
in Draganfly Inc., which shall vest and be governed in accordance with the Company’s RSU plan.

 

	4.	All
                                            other terms and conditions of engagement set out in the Independent Consultant Agreement
                                            will remain unchanged and in effect.

	5.	The

                                            in any way out of the terms of this Amending Agreement or the changes to its engagement as
                                            set out herein, specifically includes any claims under any applicable human rights, workers’
                                            compensation, employment standards, employment or labour legislation.
	 	 
	6.	This
                                            Amending Agreement amends the Independent Consultant Agreement. This Amending Agreement and
                                            the Independent Consultant Agreement shall be read together and constitute one agreement.
                                            The Parties agree that the terms of the Amending Agreement will be effective on the Effective
                                            Date.
	 	 
	7.	This
                                            Amending Agreement enures to the benefit of and binds the parties hereto and their respective
                                            heirs, executors, legal personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.
	 	 
	8.	If
                                            there is a conflict between any provision of this Amending Agreement and any provision of
                                            the Independent Consultant Agreement, the relevant provision(s) of this Amending Agreement
                                            are to prevail.

                                            Amending Agreement is governed by, and is to be construed and interpreted in accordance with
                                            the laws of British Columbia. The Parties irrevocably attorn to the jurisdiction to the Courts
                                            of the Province of British Columbia.
