Dear Jason,

 

It is a pleasure to confirm our offer to employ
you in the joint role of Chief Executive Officer of TerrAscend USA, Inc. (the “Company”) and Chief Executive Officer
of TerrAscend Corp., the Canadian parent of the Company (“TerrAscend”). In these roles, you will be expected to report
to the Board of Directors of TerrAscend. This agreement (the “Agreement”) shall set forth our mutual understanding
regarding your employment pursuant to the mutual covenants and agreements contained below (the receipt and adequacy of which are acknowledged).

 

		1.	Definitions

 

The capitalized defined terms shall have the meanings given to them
in Schedule “A”.

 

		2.	Transfer, Location, and Travel

 

Your principal place of employment is to be within
the New York area of the United States in your capacity with the Company. You will continue to reside in New York, USA and will primarily
work from a temporary office in the New York area provided by the Company, unless required to travel to other locations for business purposes.
You may also from time to time work from your home office in New York.

 

As your role with the Company will also include
your position as the CEO of TerrAscend, you will be required to periodically travel to TerrAscend facility in Ontario and to other locations
as required. In further recognition of your role with TerrAscend, it is a condition of this offer and of your continued employment by
the Company that you be permitted to lawfully work in Canada and that you maintain your status to work in Canada throughout your employment.
The Company will assist you in applying for necessary immigration permits and will cover any and all fees and costs associated therewith,
including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees.

 

In the event that you agree to a relocation, which
such relocation shall not be a condition of your employment, the Company shall pay, or reimburse Employee for, all relocated expenses
incurred by Employee relating to such relocation.

 

		3.	Compensation and Tax Equalization

 

Inasmuch as your principal place of
employment will be the United States, your total compensation will be paid exclusively by the Company. You will receive an annual
base salary of USD $500,000 (the “Annual Salary”), less all withholdings and deductions in the US and in Canada,
as required. In the event that your salary changes during the course of your employment, your most current salary shall be deemed to
be the Annual Salary for the purpose of this Agreement. You understand and agree that the Annual Salary compensates you for all
hours worked. Additionally, for business purposes and the performance of your duties, the Company will provide a laptop. Your use of
the laptop and any other provided hardware will be subject to and in accordance with Company policies in effect from time to
time.

 

     

     

    

 

It is the Company’s policy to protect executives
on international secondment from loss on personal income taxes from Company-related earnings because of the secondment. The combined
US and Canadian tax liability of an executive can vary depending on factors such as level of income derived from each country of secondment,
amount of secondment allowances and the interplay of US and Canadian tax laws. To neutralize the income tax impact, the Company intends
to “tax equalize” your Company-related income.

 

		·	In general, the Company will be responsible for paying your actual US and Canadian taxes, while you will be responsible for paying
a “hypothetical tax.” “Hypothetical tax” represents the income tax you would have paid on Company-related
income had you not received secondment-related payments or special tax considerations as a result of the secondment.

 

		·	Income subject to hypothetical tax includes income you would have received had you not gone on secondment, such as your base pay and
annual bonus. Income not subject to hypothetical tax includes secondment-related allowances. US and Canadian taxes on amounts not
subject to hypothetical tax will be paid by the Company. Hypothetical tax is not remitted to the government.

 

		·	The Company shall, or shall retain an international accounting firm to, carry out the tax equalization policy. The Company or its
designated tax firm will calculate your hypothetical tax and the amount calculated will be deducted from your pay. When your tax return
is finalized, the Company or tax firm will calculate a final hypothetical tax, called a tax equalization. If the equalization shows that
excess hypothetical tax was withheld from your salary, then the Company will refund the excess amount to you. Conversely, you must repay
the Company any funds owed to the Company for any shortfall in your hypothetical tax withholding. In the case that there is a dispute
over such equalization, your qualified tax professional shall have the right to appeal such amount to the Company.

 

		·	The Company will pay or reimburse actual income tax costs associated with the secondment. Since the Company pays/reimburses you for
actual income taxes, refunds or foreign tax credits received by you will be taken into consideration on the annual tax equalization reconciliation
and you may be required to refund all or a portion of taxes paid by the Company.

 

Tax equalization of Company-related income
means that regardless of where you are seconded and regardless of the amount of tax actually owed, you will pay a hypothetical tax which
will be equivalent to the US tax you would have paid had you remained in the US.

		4.	Stock Options/Bonus Plan

 

		1.	In connection with the services you are to render exclusively on behalf of the Company within the US, the Company will also cause
TerrAscend to issue to you a total of 5,800,000 employment stock options of TerrAscend (the “Options”) in accordance
with TerrAscend’s Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the Option Plan, including, without limitation, the 90-day limitation set forth in Section 4.10.1.2.1, assuming Employee has been
in the CEO role through January 9, 2021 and consistent with applicable securities laws, the Options will expire on January 9, 2030 (unless
such sooner date is otherwise agreed to by Employee in writing). 3,000,000 of the Options will have a strike price of CN$2.42 (the “Initial
Options”), and (b) 2,800,000 of the Options will have a strike price of CN$2.96 of (the “Second Options”).

 

		a.	Except as otherwise provided herein, the Options will vest in equal increments on the 12-month, 24-month and 36-month
anniversary date from November 1, 2019, provided that Employee is serving as the CEO of the Company or on the Board on each of the corresponding
dates.

 

		b.	In the event of a Change of Control of TerrAscend Corp. (as defined in the Option Plan) that does not include Jason Wild or an affiliate
thereof, 100% of the Options will accelerate and vest immediately.

 

		c.	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, in the case of a termination of Employee by the Company in the absence of Cause
                                                            (defined below), or Employee’s resignation for any reason from all activities relating to the Company or its affiliates,
                                                            Employee’s remaining unvested Options will immediately vest on a pro-rata basis based upon the number of months worked
                                                            compared to the 36-month total vesting period under the Options PROVIDED THAT a minimum of 1,500,000 of the Initial Options
                                                            shall vest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as Employee serves on the Board of TerrAscend, the Options shall continue to vest
                                                            under Section 2 above, even if Employee is not also serving as CEO of the Company and/or TerrAscend. “Cause” shall mean:
                                                            (i) conviction of, or entrance into an admission, plea bargain, plea of no contest, or plea of nolo contendre to, a felony of any
                                                            kind, or a charge by a law enforcement officer for, conviction of, or entrance into an admission, plea bargain, plea of no contest,
                                                            or plea of nolo contendre to a misdemeanor involving fraud, dishonesty or an act of moral turpitude, (provided that such conviction
                                                            of, or entrance into an admission, plea bargain, plea of no contest, or plea of nolo contendre to, a felony of any kind, or a
                                                            misdemeanor threatens the integrity of any cannabis license held by TerrAscend); (ii) the willful commitment of any act of
                                                            dishonesty in connection with Employee’s appointment herein, or other willful gross misconduct involving TerrAscend, (iii)
                                                            willful failure or refusal to materially comply (to the best of Employee’s ability) with any of the TerrAscend’s written policies and procedures, including
the TerrAscend’s Standard Operating Procedures and Policies, provided that, to the extent such refusal or failure is susceptible
to cure, it is not fully, completely, and permanently cured to the best of Employee’s ability within thirty (30) business days after
Employee’s receipt of written notice from Company. For purposes of this definition, no action or inaction will be considered “willful”
unless done or omitted to be done without good faith or without Employee’s reasonable belief that the action or omission was in
the best interests of TerrAscend, as determined by the arbitrator.

 

    -3- 

     

    

 

		d.	The Company acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties that, once TerrAscend has a formal Restricted Stock Unit Plan in place,
up to 25% of the Options shall (subject to applicable securities laws and the agreement of TerrAscend’s Compensation Committee)
be replaced with Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). The vesting schedule of the newly granted RSUs will be equivalent
to the original vesting dates of the originally granted Options.

 

You will also be entitled to participate in an
executive bonus plan currently anticipated to be established by the Company by the second quarter of 2020. Your entitlement to payment
of any bonus (“Bonus”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any Company bonus plan established at the Company’s
sole discretion, as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plan, as may be amended from
time to time. The Board of Directors has determined your Bonus for 2020 shall be RSUs for annual value of $600,000 vesting immediately
upon issuance. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that you shall be entitled to an annual Bonus for each calendar year
during the Term, which shall be equal to or greater than the 2020 Bonus, and paid at the same time of year. Bonuses may be paid to Employee
in cash, RSUs, or a combination thereof, consistent with the manner and timing by which similarly situated employees are paid their respective
Bonuses.

you with the Severance Payment until you execute and deliver to the Company a mutual release agreement in a form similar to Schedule “B”

relationship, title, duties or compensation.

 

		(e)	Termination by You Without Good Reason

 

You may resign from your employment at any
time and without Good Reason (as defined below) upon providing the Company with eight (8) weeks’ notice in writing of your
resignation, during which time the Company shall provide you with the equivalent of your then Annual Salary and benefits and
unreimbursed expenses through and until your termination date, subject to applicable tax withholding and payable in accordance with
the Company’s usual payroll practices. The Company may waive the requirement that you work all or part of the notice of

as required herein.

		(f)	Termination by You for Good Reason

 

You may terminate your employment for “Good
Reason” following the occurrence of any of the following without your written consent: (i) any failure to pay, or material reduction
in, Annual Salary and Bonus in accordance with the terms hereof; (ii) if the Company (or any successor entity) intentionally and materially

actual discovery thereof to avail yourself of this right and the Company shall have the opportunity to cure same within thirty (30) days
after receipt of such written notice. If the Company does not cure within such time, then you shall, upon written notice to the Company,
be entitled to terminate your employment for Good Reason, provided you do so within fifteen (15) days of giving written notice of such
Good Reason grounds not so cured. In the event that you terminate your employment for Good Reason, you shall be entitled to the payments
and other compensation under the same terms as set forth in section 14(d)(i)-(iv) as if you were terminated without Cause.

Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall serve as a fully binding separation agreement between ________________ (“Employee”)
and ______________ (the “Company” and collectively the “Parties”). Employee’s employment with
the Company is terminated effective ________________ (the “Separation Date”). Following the Effective Date of this
Agreement, and in consideration of the Employee’s execution, non-revocation, and assent to all terms and provisions of this
Agreement, the Company will pay to Employee the severance benefits outlined below.

 

Severance Payment. Employee acknowledges
and agrees that Employee will not be entitled to any compensation or benefits from the Company, except as expressly provided for in this
Agreement, and Employee specifically waives and foregoes all rights to any compensation or benefits of any kind that are not expressly

and other valuable consideration given and received by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows:

 

In consideration of the promises set forth herein,
without any other obligation to do so, provided that Employee does not exercise his right to revoke this Agreement as set forth below,
the Company will pay Employee severance in the amount of ______________________________ Dollars ($__________), less applicable payroll
deductions (“Severance Payment”). The Company will pay the Severance Payment on the first regular payday occurring
at least eight (8) days after this Agreement is fully executed.

Payment referenced above constitute adequate consideration to support the releases set forth in this Agreement and fully compensate Employee
for the claims Employee is releasing. For purposes of this Paragraph, “Consideration” means the payments and benefits
set forth in this Section 0, which are enhanced payments and benefits to which Employee is not already or otherwise entitled to receive.

 

    

     

    

 

Employee Release of Claims.

 

In exchange for the Severance Payment and other
consideration set forth herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Employee (on behalf of Employee, Employee’s
executors, heirs, administrators, assigns and anyone else claiming by, through or under Employee) irrevocably and unconditionally,
fully and forever releases and discharges the Employer, and its predecessors, successors and related and affiliated entities,
including parents (including holding companies) and subsidiaries, and each of their respective directors, officers, shareholders,
employees, attorneys, insurers, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Employer Releasees”), for, from,
and with respect to, any and all rights, remedies, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, covenants, contracts, wages, bonuses,
damages, and any and all claims, debts, liabilities, liens, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs)
whatsoever of any name or nature both in law and in equity that Employee now has, ever had, or may in the future have against the
Employer Releasees (severally and collectively, “Employee Claims”) related to anything occurring prior to
Employee’s execution of this Agreement, for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever (as allowed by law), with
the exception of Employee Claims arising out of or attributable to: (i) events, acts, or omissions taking place after the
Parties’ execution of the Agreement; and/or (ii) breach by Employer of any terms and conditions of the Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, this waiver and release of claims includes any and all Employee Claims in tort or
contract, whether by statute or common law, and any Employee Claims relating to or arising out of salary, wages, bonuses, stock
options, equity compensation, stock ownership and commissions, the breach of an oral or written contract, breach of fiduciary duty,
rights to indemnification and contribution, unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel, misrepresentation, defamation, and interference
with prospective economic advantage, interference with contract, wrongful termination, intentional and negligent infliction of
emotional distress, negligence, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and Employee Claims arising out of, based on,
or connected with Employee’s employment with or termination from the Employer, including any Employee Claims for unlawful
employment discrimination of any kind, whether based on age, race, sex, disability or otherwise, including claims arising under or
based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; or any other relevant antidiscrimination laws or state statutes or
municipal ordinances related to discrimination; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), as amended;
the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”); the Civil Rights Act of 1991, as amended; the Family and
Medical Leave Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act; the Fair Labor Standards Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act;
the Equal Pay Act of 1963; the Delaware Labor Code, and any other local, state or federal equal employment opportunity or
antidiscrimination law, statute, policy, order, ordinance or regulation affecting or relating to Employee Claims that Employee ever
had, now has, or claims to have against the Employee Releasees (collectively, the “Employee Released
Claim(s)”).

 

Except as set forth below, Employee agrees not to
prosecute, maintain or institute any action at law, suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever against Company for any reason
related in any way to any Employee Released Claim. Employee further agrees that Employee will not raise any claim against Company by way
of defense, counterclaim or cross-claim or in any other manner, on any alleged claim, demand, liability or cause of action released
herein. At the time of Employee’s execution of this Agreement, Employee represents that there are no claims, complaints or charges
pending against Company in which Employee is a party or complainant. Further, Employee acknowledges and agrees there are no non-asserted
workers’ compensation claims through the date of Employee’s execution of this Agreement. Employee agrees not to assert any
Employee Released Claim in a class or collective action and further agrees not to become, and promises not to consent to become, a member
(including a representative class plaintiff) of any class in a case brought in court or in arbitration in which claims are asserted against
any of the Employer Releasees that are related in any way to Employee’s employment with or termination from Company and/or that
involve events which have occurred on or prior to the Effective Date of this Release. If Employee, without Employee’s prior knowledge
and consent, is made a member of a class in any proceeding, whether in court or in arbitration, Employee will opt out of the class at
the first opportunity afforded to him/her after learning of Employee’s inclusion.

Employee understands that nothing in this Agreement
is intended to interfere with or deter Employee’s right to challenge the waiver of an ADEA claim or state law age discrimination
claim or the filing of an ADEA charge or ADEA complaint or state law age discrimination complaint or charge with the EEOC or any state
discrimination agency or commission or to participate in any investigation or proceeding conducted by those agencies. Further, Employee
understands that nothing in this Agreement would require Employee to tender back the money received under this Agreement if Employee seeks
to challenge the validity of the ADEA or state law age discrimination waiver, nor does the Employee agree to ratify any ADEA or state
law age discrimination waiver that fails to comply with the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act by retaining the money received
under the Agreement. Further, nothing in this Agreement is intended to require the payment of damages, attorneys’ fees or costs
to the Company should Employee challenge the waiver of an ADEA or state law age discrimination claim or file an ADEA or state law age
discrimination suit except as authorized by federal or state law.

 

This release specifically excludes (i) any claim
which cannot be released by private agreement, such as workers’ compensation claims, claims after the Effective Date of this Agreement
(as defined below); (ii) the right to file administrative charges with certain government agencies; and (iii) any and all rights to vested
benefits. In particular, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Employee from filing a charge with, making a complaint
to, or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, National Labor Relations
Board, or a comparable state or local agency, or to the Securities Exchange Commission or Internal Revenue Service. Employee agrees to
waive the right to receive future monetary recovery directly from Employer, including Employer payments that result from any complaints
or charges that Employee files with any governmental agency or that are filed on Employee’s behalf.

of Claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Employee hereby acknowledges that Employee knowingly and voluntarily
enters into this Agreement, which is made in accordance with the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”),
and is made with the purpose of waiving and releasing any age discrimination claims Employee may have under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”). Employee further acknowledges and agrees that:

 

this Agreement is written in a manner in which Employee
fully understands;

 

Employee specifically waives any rights or claims
arising under the ADEA and OWBPA;

by, through or under Employee, for, from, and with respect to, any and all rights, remedies, demands, actions, causes of action, suits,
covenants, contracts, wages, bonuses, damages, and any and all claims, debts, liabilities, liens, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs) whatsoever of any name or nature both in law and in equity that Employer now has, ever had, or may in the future have
against the Employee Releasees (severally and collectively, “Employer Claims”) related to anything occurring prior
to Employee’s execution of this Agreement, for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever (as allowed by law), with the
exception of Employer Claims arising out of or attributable to: (i) events, acts, or omissions taking place after the Parties’ execution
of the Agreement; and/or (ii) breach by Employer of any terms and conditions of the Agreement (collectively, “Employer Released
Claims”).

herein. At the time of Employer’s execution of this Agreement, Employer represents that there are no claims, complaints or charges
pending against Employee in which Employer is a party or complainant.

IN CONSIDERATION of the terms and conditions
of settlement set out in the letter from Jason Ackerman to Michael Nashat dated March 6, 2020 (the “Settlement”)and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, I, Michal Nashat, on behalf of myself, my
heirs, successors, administrators and assigns (collectively referred to as the “Releasor”) release and forever discharge
TerrAscend Corporation, along with any parent, subsidiary, affiliated and associated person or entity, and together with all respective
officers, directors, employees, servants and agents and their successors , administrators and assigns (collectively referred to as the
 “Releasee”), jointly and severally from any claim I may now have, or may hereinafter have, whether known or unknown
at the time of signing this Release and Indemnity , in any way relating to my engagement, hiring, or employment by, or the cessation of
my engagement or employment with, the Releasee. For purposes of clarity , this includes , but is not limited to, any claim, demand , action
, cause of action, contract, covenant, whether express or implied for, or related to group insurance benefits (including disability bene
fits, loss of benefits, or failure to provide benefits) bonus payment(s), vacation pay, notice of termination or pay in lieu, severance

or otherwise and specifically including, but not limited to, any claim under each of the Ontario Employment Standards Act, Human Rights
Code, Labour Relations Act, Pay Equity Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and any successor legislation.

 

AND FOR THE SAID CONSIDERATION, I
hereby confirm I have considered whether I may have, and confirm I do not have an existing, planned or possible claim against the Releasee
pursuant to the Ontario Human Rights Code, and I seek no right or remedy in respect of any such claim.

 

AND FOR THE SAID CONSIDERATION, I
further acknowledge, covenant and warrant I have not filed with any court, tribunal, commission or agency, etc., including,
but not limited to, the Employment Standards Branch of the Ministry of Labour, Ontario Labour Relations Board, Human Rights Tribunal of
Ontario or Pay Equity Commission of Ontario, any claim, complaint or application, and if such a claim, complaint or application has been
filed, this Release and Indemnity , entered into freely and without duress, constitutes a full and final bar and/or answer to such claim,
complaint or application. For clarity, I agree that, as a condition of the Settlement, I will take all necessary steps to ensure
the withdrawal or dismissal of such claim, complaint or application.

 

AND FOR THE SAID CONSIDERATION, I
further acknowledge, covenant and agree that in the event I should hereafter make any claim, complaint, application or demand or take
any action or proceeding against the Releasee in connection with any matter covered by this Release and Indemnity , or threaten to do
so, this document may be raised as an estoppel and complete bar to any such claim, complaint, demand , action or proceeding, and I will
be liable to the Releasee for its costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in responding thereto.

 

AND FOR THE SAID CONSIDERATION, I
further acknowledge, covenant and agree I shall not make any claim, demand, complaint, or commence any action or proceeding in connection
with any matter covered by this Release and Indemnity against any other person who might claim contribution or indemnity from the Releasee
by virtue of the said claim or proceeding. I agree that if any such claim, demand, action or proceeding is made by me or on my behalf,
the Releasee may raise this document as an estoppel and complete bar to any such claim, demand, complaint or proceeding, and I will be

    -4-

    

 

AND FOR THE SAID CONSIDERATION, I
further acknowledge, covenant and agree to save harmless and indemnify the Releasee from and against all claim, charge, tax, penalty or
demand which may be made by the Canada Revenue Agency requiring the Releasee to pay income tax, a charge, a tax, or a penalty under any
law including , but not limited to, the Income Tax Act (Canada), in respect of amount paid to me, in excess of income tax withheld, and
in respect of any claim, charge, tax or penalty and demand which may be made on behalf of or related to the Employment Insurance Commission
and Canada Pension Commission or any other government agency or commission under the applicable statutes and regulations with respect
to any amounts which may in the future be found to be payable by the Releasee in respect of the Releasor.

 

AND FOR THE SAID CONSIDERATION, I
further acknowledge, covenant and agree that during my engagement or employment I acquired business, operational, financial, technical
and other information, which is confidential and proprietary in nature, belonging to the Releasee, its clients or customers and employees
(the “Confidential Information”). I expressly acknowledge the release of any Confidential Information would constitute a significant
detriment to the Releasee, and confirm I shall continue to hold all Confidential Information confidential following the cessation of my
engagement or employment with the Releasee and I shall not use or disclose any Confidential Information in any manner without the express,
prior, written permission of the Releasee.

 

AND FOR THE SAID CONSIDERATION, I
further acknowledge, covenant and agree that I will at all times refrain from making any disparaging, critical or other negative comments,
written or oral (including through social media communications), true or not, respecting the Releasee, its operations or business, or
its current or former employees, officers or directors.

 

I AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE the consideration
provided by the Releasee herein is not deemed to be an admission of liability on the part of the Releasee.

 

I AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE in the event any
provision of this Release and Indemnity is deemed void, invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions
shall remain in full force and effect.

 

I ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONFIRM I have been afforded
sufficient opportunity to obtain independent legal advice with respect to the details of the Settlement and this Release and Indemnity.
I further confirm I have read this Release and Indemnity, understand it, and am executing it voluntarily and without duress having been
afforded the opportunity to obtain legal advice and having either received such advice or chosen not to do so.
