Exhibit 10.2

CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

This Change of Control Severance Agreement is entered into January 1, 2023,  (the “Effective Date”), by and between SM Energy Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Lehman E. Newton III (the “Employee”).
RECITALS

A.The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to ensure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Employee notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 1) of the Company and to provide the Employee with customary compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change of Control which ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of the Employee will be satisfied and which are competitive with those of other companies.
B.The Company desires to continue the employment of the Employee and the Employee desires to continue employment with the Company, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Employee’s continued employment with the Company and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT

Section 1.Certain Definitions.  The following terms shall for purposes of this Agreement have the following respective definitions:
(a)“Accrued Compensation” shall mean all compensation amounts earned or accrued by the Employee through the Termination Date (as defined below) but not paid to the Employee as of the Termination Date, including (i) Base Salary (as defined below), (ii) PTO pay (to the extent provided by Company policy, plan, program or practice or applicable law), (iii) bonuses and incentive compensation, and (iv) reimbursement for reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by the Employee on behalf of the Company during the period ending on the Termination Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Termination Date occurs prior to the payment of an award pursuant to the Company’s Short Term Incentive Plan but after the completion of the calendar year related to such award, then the amount of such award shall be included as Accrued Compensation.
(b)“Base Salary” shall mean the greater of (i) the Employee’s annual base salary at the rate in effect on the Termination Date or (ii) the Employee’s annual base salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control, and shall include all amounts of the Employee’s base salary that are deferred under the qualified and nonqualified employee benefits plans, policies, programs or practices of the Company or any other compensation agreement or arrangement.
(c)“Cause” shall mean for purposes of termination of employment (i) the conviction of the Employee of a felony involving moral turpitude or (ii) a resolution adopted in good faith by two-thirds of the members of the Board that the Employee (A) intentionally and continually failed to substantially perform the Employee’s reasonably assigned duties with the Company (other than a failure resulting from the Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or from the assignment to the Employee of duties that would constitute Good Reason (as defined below)), which failure continued for a period of at least 30 days after a written notice of demand 

for substantial performance has been delivered by the Company to the Employee, which notice specifies the manner in which the Employee failed to substantially perform, or (B) intentionally engaged in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company; provided, however, that no termination of the Employee’s employment shall be for Cause until written notice has been delivered to the Employee which sets forth the conduct under this Section 1(c) of which the Employee is allegedly guilty and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.  Neither an act nor a failure to act on the Employee’s part shall be considered “intentional” unless the Employee has acted or failed to act with a lack of good faith and with a lack of reasonable belief that the Employee’s action or failure to act was in the best interests of the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no failure to perform by the Employee after a Notice of Termination (as defined below) is given by the Employee to the Company shall constitute Cause for purposes of this Agreement.
(d)“Change of Control” shall mean any of the following events:
(i)(A)    The acquisition by any individual or entity (a “Person”) or group of Persons of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of more than 50% of either (1) the then value of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, or (2) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
(B)    For purposes of paragraph (A), Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.  However, Persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.  If a Person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.  For purposes of determining stock ownership, see (d)(iv), below.
(ii)A majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election; or
(iii)(A)    Any one Person, or more than one Person acting as a group (as determined in (d)(iii)(C) below), acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50 percent of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions.  For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.
    2

(B)    A transfer of assets by the Company is not treated as a change in the ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to –
(1)    A shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock;
(2)    An entity, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company;
(3)    A Person, or more than one Person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company; or
(4)    An entity, at least 50 percent of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in (d)(iii)(B)(3).
For purposes of this paragraph (d)(iii)(B) and except as otherwise provided, a Person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of the assets.  For example, a transfer to a corporation in which the Company has no ownership interest before the transaction, but which is a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company after the transaction, is not treated as a change in the ownership of the assets of the Company.
(C)    Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group for purposes of this paragraph (d)(iii) solely because they purchase assets of the Company at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.  However, Persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of assets, or similar business transaction with the Company.  If a Person, including an entity shareholder, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation only to the extent of the ownership in that corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.
(D)    For purposes of determining stock ownership, see (d)(iv) below.
(iv)For purposes of determining whether there has been a Change of Control, Code Section 318(a) applies to determine stock ownership.  Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who holds the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option).  For purposes of the preceding sentence, however, if a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by §§1.83-3(b) and (j) of the income tax regulations promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service), the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option.
    3

(e)“Change of Control Date” shall mean the first date during the term of this Agreement (as specified in Section 2) on which a Change of Control occurs.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Change of Control occurs and if the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Employee that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect the Change of Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of the Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Change of Control Date” shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.
(f)“Change of Control Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Change of Control Date and ending on the date one year after the Change of Control Date.
(g)“Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(h)“Disability” shall mean a physical or mental infirmity which impairs the Employee’s ability to substantially perform the Employee’s employment duties with the Company on a full-time basis for a period of 120 consecutive business days, and the Employee has not returned to full-time performance of the Employee’s employment duties within 30 days after notice by the Company of its intention to terminate employment of the Employee as a result thereof.
(i)“Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence after a Change of Control of any of the following events or conditions:
(i)a change in the Employee’s status, authority, position, offices, titles, duties or responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities) with the Company which in the Employee’s reasonable judgment represents a diminution or adverse change in, or are inconsistent with, such status, authority, position, offices, titles, duties or responsibilities in effect at any time within the 90 days preceding the Change of Control Date or at any time thereafter, excluding for this purpose (A) an isolated, unsubstantial and inadvertent action by the Company not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Employee and (B) any removal or failure to reappoint or reelect the Employee to any such position or offices in connection with the termination of the Employee’s employment for death, Disability or Cause;
(ii)any reduction in the Employee’s salary or any failure to pay the Employee any compensation or benefits to which the Employee is entitled within ten business days after notice thereof;
(iii)the failure by the Company to provide the Employee with compensation and benefits, in the aggregate, at least equal (in terms of benefit levels and/or incentive or reward opportunities) to those provided for under each compensation and employee benefit policy, plan, program and practice in which the Employee was participating at any time within 90 days preceding the Change of Control Date or at any time thereafter;
(iv)the Company’s requiring the Employee to be based at any place outside a 25-mile radius from the Employee’s current location of employment, except for reasonably required travel for the Company’s business which is not materially greater than such travel requirements prior to the Change of Control;
(v)any material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement;
    4

(vi)any purported termination by the Company of the Employee’s employment other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement; or
(vii)the failure by the Company to obtain an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Employee from any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement as contemplated by Section 7(b).
Any event or condition described in clauses (i) through (vii) above which occurs prior to a Change of Control but which the Employee reasonably demonstrates (A) resulted from the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control which actually occurs or (B) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change of Control which actually occurs, shall constitute Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding the fact that it occurred prior to the Change of Control.  The Employee’s right to terminate the Employee’s employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Employee’s incapacity due to a Disability.
(j)“Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice of termination of the Employee’s employment which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon for such termination, (ii) to the extent applicable sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such termination under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Termination Date is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the Termination Date under such notice.
(k)“Termination Date” shall mean (i) if the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date of employment termination as specified therein, (ii) if the Employee’s employment is terminated by reason of death, the Termination Date shall be the date of death and (iii) in all other cases, the date of employment termination specified in the Notice of Termination; provided, however, that if the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or due to a Disability, the date specified in the Notice of Termination shall be at least 30 days from the date the Notice of Termination is given to the Employee, provided that in the case of Disability the Employee shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Employee’s duties during such 30-day period.
Section 2.Term of Agreement.  This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue in effect until December 31, 2023; provided, however, that on December 31, 2023, and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual anniversary thereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Renewal Date”), the term of the Agreement shall be automatically extended so as to terminate one year from such Renewal Date, unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date the Company has given written notice to the Employee that the term of the Agreement shall not be so extended, and provided further that notwithstanding any such notice by the Company not to extend, the term of the Agreement shall not expire after the occurrence of a Change of Control until the expiration of the Change of Control Period, as long as the term of the Agreement had not expired prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control.
Section 3.Payments and Benefits Upon Termination of Employment During Change of Control Period.  If during the term of this Agreement the Employee shall cease to be employed by the Company within a Change of Control Period, the Employee shall be entitled to the following compensation payments and benefits:
(a)If the Employee’s employment with the Company shall be terminated before the Employee’s death either (i) by the Company other than for Cause or Disability or (ii) by the Employee for Good Reason, the Employee shall be entitled to the following:
    5

(i)the Company shall pay the Employee all Accrued Compensation;
(ii)the Company shall pay the Employee a lump sum equal to 1.0 multiplied by Employee’s Base Salary;
(iii)the Company shall pay the Employee a lump sum equal to (A) the Employee’s Short Term Incentive Plan target percentage multiplied by (B) the Employee’s Base Salary multiplied by (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between January 1 and the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365; and
(iv)the Company shall pay the Employee a lump sum equal to 12 multiplied by the Company’s then monthly contribution for medical, dental, and vision insurance on behalf of the Employee and his or her family.
(b)Termination for Cause, Disability or Death or Other than for Good Reason.  If the Employee’s employment with the Company shall be terminated either (i) by the Company for Cause or Disability, (ii) by reason of the Employee’s death, or (iii) by the Employee other than for Good Reason, the Company shall pay to the Employee all Accrued Compensation.
(c)Other Compensation and Benefits.  The Employee’s entitlement to any other compensation or benefits from or any indemnification by the Company shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s employee benefit and other applicable compensation plans, programs, policies and practices, and any applicable indemnification provisions or agreements then in effect.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Employee’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Employee may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Employee may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies.  Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Employee is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Termination Date shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.  If the Employee is entitled to severance pay and benefits pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii) and (iii), such severance pay and benefits shall be reduced to the extent of any other severance or termination pay explicitly designated as such to which the Employee may be entitled under any agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies.
(d)Section 409A of the Code.  This Agreement is intended in all respects to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and in particular, those provisions of Section 409A dealing with distributions.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code and any ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  In the event any payments or benefits pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement would result in the imposition on the Employee of any additional taxes or interest pursuant to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and final Treasury Regulations, Internal Revenue Service guidance or other provisions of law, the amount of such payments shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted in order that the Employee may receive the same economic benefits as provided under this Agreement and in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and without the imposition on the Employee of any additional taxes and interest thereunder.  Any payments to the Employee under this Agreement which Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code indicates may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of Employee’s separation from employment service (the “Section 409A Six-Month Waiting Period”) shall not be made during the Section 409A Six-Month Waiting Period but rather shall be delayed and shall be paid upon the expiration of the Section 409A Six-Month 
    6

Waiting Period.  In particular, with respect to severance payments provided for under Section 3(a)(ii) of this Agreement, such severance payments that would otherwise be paid during the Section 409A Six-Month Waiting Period shall be paid in lump sum upon the expiration of the Section 409A Six-Month Waiting Period, together with simple interest on the amount of each deferred payment at the short term applicable federal rate as of the date of termination of employment.  For purposes of this Agreement, “termination of employment,” “separation from service” or similar language means separation from service by the Employee from the Company for any reason whatsoever within the meaning of Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h).
Section 4.Notice of Termination.  Following a Change of Control, any purported termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company, for Cause or otherwise, or by the Employee for Good Reason, shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 8(d).  For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective without such Notice of Termination.  The failure by the Employee or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Employee or the Company hereunder or preclude the Employee or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Employee’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.  If the Company determines in good faith that a Disability of the Employee has occurred while the Employee is employed by the Company during the Change of Control Period, it may give to the Employee written notice in accordance with Section 8(d) of its intention to terminate the Employee’s employment.  In such event, the Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Employee, provided that within the 30 days after such receipt the Employee shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Employee’s duties.
Section 5.No Set-Off or Mitigation; Resolution of Disputes.
(a)No Set-Off.  The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Employee or others.
(b)No Mitigation Required.  In no event shall the Employee be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee under any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except as provided in Section 3(a)(iii), such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Employee obtains other employment.
(c)Payments Pending Resolution of Disputes.  If there shall be any dispute between the Company and the Employee under this Agreement (i) in the event of any termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company, whether such termination was validly for Cause, or (ii) in the event of any termination of employment by the Employee, whether Good Reason existed, then, unless and until there is a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction declaring that such termination was for Cause or that the determination by the Employee of the existence of Good Reason was not made in good faith, the Company shall pay all amounts and provide all benefits to the Employee and/or the Employee’s dependents or other beneficiaries, as the case may be, that the Company would be required to pay or provide pursuant to Section 3(a) as though such termination were by the Company other than for Cause, or by the Employee for Good Reason; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any disputed amount pursuant to this Section 5(c) except upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Employee to repay all such amounts to which the Employee is ultimately adjudged by such court not to be entitled.
    7

(d)Attorney Fees and Expenses.  The Company shall pay as they become due all attorney fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel) reasonably incurred by the Employee as a result of the Employee seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement.
Section 6.Excise Tax Limitation.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, the Employee under any other Company plan or agreement (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the Payments shall be reduced to the Limited Payment Amount of the greater of (i) the largest amount of Payments that would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, or (ii) the largest amount of Payments, up to and including the total Payments, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), that results in the Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of Payments notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax.  The intent of the foregoing provision is to reduce the Payments only in the event and to the extent that doing so will maximize the net present value of the Payments, on an after-tax basis, to be received by the Employee.  Unless the Employee shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate any reduction in Payments, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments by first reducing or eliminating the portion of the Payments which are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as defined below).  Any notice given by the Employee pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Employee’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.
(b)The determination of whether the Payments shall be reduced to the Limited Payment Amount pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Limited Payment Amount shall be made, at the Company’s expense, by an accounting firm selected by the Employee which is one of the four largest accounting firms in the United States (the “Accounting Firm”).  The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Company and the Employee within ten business days of the Termination Date, if applicable, or such other time as requested by the Company or by the Employee (provided that the Employee reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax), and if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Employee with respect to the Payments it shall furnish the Employee with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Employee that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payments.  The Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Employee.
Section 7.Successors and Assigns.
(a)This Agreement is personal to the Employee and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Employee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee’s legal representatives.
(b)This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.  The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to the business and/or 50% or more of 
    8

the assets of the Company (on a consolidated basis) to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Company” shall mean the Company as previously defined and any successor to its business and/or assets which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.
Section 8.Miscellaneous.
(a)Governing Law and Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.  Any action brought by any party to this Agreement shall be brought and maintained in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Denver, Colorado.
(b)Captions.  The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(c)Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.
(d)Notice.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other party, by confirmed telefax, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith.  Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.

    9

(h)Waiver.  The Employee’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision hereof or the failure to assert any right the Employee or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Employee to terminate employment for Good Reason, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.
(i)No Guaranteed Employment.  The Employee and the Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Employee and the Company concerning the Employee’s employment with the Company, the provisions of such other agreement not inconsistent herewith which shall remain in full force and effect, the employment of the Employee by the Company is “at will” and, prior to the Change of Control Date, may be terminated by either the Employee or the Company at any time.

Section 2.7(a).

 

(i)       At
the Effective Time, each Company Option that is an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) (an “Assumed
Option”), whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by the SPAC and become an option to purchase a number of shares of
SPAC Subordinate Voting Shares. Each Assumed Option shall continue to have, and be subject to, the terms and conditions as were applicable
to such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions),
subject to the following adjustments: (i) each such Assumed Option shall be exercisable for the number of SPAC Subordinate Voting Shares
determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option immediately
prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Option Conversion Ratio, with the result rounded down to the nearest whole number of SPAC Subordinate
Voting Shares, and (ii) the per share exercise price for shares of SPAC Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon the exercise of such
Assumed Option shall be equal to (x) the exercise price per share of Company Stock at which such Assumed Option was exercisable immediately

substance satisfactory to Sellers’ Representative evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Assumed Option by the SPAC. At or

number of shares of SPAC Subordinate Voting Shares for delivery of Assumed Options assigned to and assumed by it in accordance with,
or otherwise to give effect to the provisions of, this Section 2.7(a)(i).

 

    - 24 -

     

    

 

(ii)       At
the Effective Time, each vested Company Option that is not an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) (a “Vested
Exchanged Option”) shall be cancelled, extinguished, and represent only the right to receive a number of Buyer Exchangeable
Shares equal to (i) (A) the number of shares of Company Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Vested Exchanged Option immediately
prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of (x) the value of the Per Share Closing Merger Consideration over
(y) the exercise price of such Vested Exchanged Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) $10.00. Such number of
Buyer Exchangeable Shares shall be subject to an award agreement to be delivered to the holder of such Vested Exchanged Option within
five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Closing Working Capital Statement pursuant to Section 2.17. Such award
agreement shall provide for delivery of such Buyer Exchangeable Shares to such holder on the three (3)-year anniversary of the Closing.

 

(iii)       At
the Effective Time, each unvested Company Option that is not an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) (an “Unvested
Exchanged Option”) shall be cancelled, extinguished, and converted into a restricted unit of Buyer Exchangeable Shares (a “RSU”).
The number of Buyer Exchangeable Shares underlying an RSU issued with respect to an Unvested Exchanged Option shall be equal to (i) (A)
the number of shares of Company Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Unvested Exchanged Option immediately prior to the Effective
Time multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of (x) the value of the Per Share Closing Merger Consideration over (y) the per share exercise
price of such Unvested Exchanged Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) $10.00. The vesting schedule
applicable to each such RSU shall continue to be the vesting schedule applicable to the Unvested Exchanged Option immediately prior to
the Effective Time; provided that any monthly vesting shall be amended to provide for annual vesting on each anniversary of the
grant date (e.g., if a Company Option was granted on January 1, 2020 for 480 shares and provided for vesting in equal monthly installments
over a four-year period, and the Closing occurred on April 30, 2021, of the 330 unvested shares as of the Closing Date, 90 shares would
vest on January 1, 2022, 120 shares would vest on January 1, 2023, and the remaining 120 shares would vest on January 1, 2024). Within
five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Closing Working Capital Statement pursuant to Section 2.17, the SPAC
shall issue to each Person who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, was a holder of an outstanding Unvested Exchanged Option such
documentation, in form and substance satisfactory to Sellers’ Representative, as is necessary or advisable to evidence the foregoing
exchange of such Unvested Exchanged Option. At or prior to the Effective Time, the SPAC shall take, or cause to be taken, all corporate
action necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.7(a)(iii).

 

    - 25 -

     

    

 

(b)       At
the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised PEF Warrant shall be cancelled, extinguished and converted automatically into a warrant
to purchase a number of SPAC Subordinate Voting Shares equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Stock that were issuable upon exercise
of such PEF Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) 7.874015748031496. Each such PEF Warrant shall be in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to the SPAC and otherwise continue to have, and be subject to, the terms and conditions as were applicable
to such PEF Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the per share exercise price shall be $10.00. Within
five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Closing Working Capital Statement pursuant to Section 2.17, the SPAC shall
issue to each Person who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, was a holder of an outstanding PEF Warrant a document in form and substance
satisfactory to Sellers’ Representative evidencing the foregoing conversion of such PEF Warrant. From time to time thereafter as
any Earnout Consideration becomes issuable to the Company Shareholders and the Vested Optionholders pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement,
the SPAC shall promptly make such amendments to such document as are necessary to update the number of SPAC Subordinate Voting Shares
into which such PEF Warrant converts taking into account such Earnout Consideration. The Company shall comply with all notice provisions
of the PEF Warrants applicable to the Transaction. The SPAC shall take, or cause to be taken, all corporate action necessary to give effect
to the provisions of this Section 2.7(b).

 

2.8.       Dissenting
Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (other than Shares cancelled in accordance with Section 2.6(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 Section 262 of the DGCL (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 DGCL 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 Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such
holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court
of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, 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 2.6(b), without interest thereon. The Company shall
provide Buyer 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 DGCL that
relates to such demand, and Buyer shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to
such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Buyer, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or
offer to settle, any such demands.

 “Letter of Transmittal”), and, if such Shares are represented by a stock certificate (each, a “Certificate”),
instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.13),
in exchange for the applicable portion of Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(b). The Exchange Agent shall, no later than the
later of: (i) the Closing Date; or (ii) 15 Business Days after receipt of a Letter of Transmittal with respect to Shares duly completed
and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto (and, if applicable, a Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof
in accordance with Section 2.13) representing such Shares), together with any other customary documents that the Exchange Agent may reasonably
require in connection therewith (collectively, the “Surrender Documentation”), issue to the holder of such Shares
such holder’s share as indicated in the Merger Consideration Spreadsheet of the Closing Merger Consideration (minus such holder’s
share as indicated in such spreadsheet of the Holdback Shares) with respect to such Shares, and, if applicable, the Certificate representing
such Shares shall forthwith be cancelled. The issuance of the Buyer Exchangeable Shares including the Holdback Shares may be in electronic
book entry or DRS form without the issuance of physical stock certificates. With respect to each Company Shareholder, until such time
as such Company Shareholder’s Buyer Exchangeable Shares shall be deliverable to such Company Shareholder pursuant to this Section
2.9(c), such Buyer Exchangeable Shares will be held in escrow by the Exchange Agent and treated as having been issued at the Closing
to such Company Shareholder and outstanding, and such Company Shareholder (i) will be shown as the registered owner thereof on the books
and records of Buyer and (ii) shall have all rights to receive on a current basis any dividends or other distributions made with
respect to such Buyer Exchangeable Shares which dividends and distributions shall be issued to Exchange Agent, held by Exchange Agent
for the benefit of such Company Shareholder, and included as part of such Buyer Exchangeable Shares, but in all cases subject to adjustment
in accordance with Section 2.18. In the event that the Letter of Transmittal of a Company Shareholder indicates that such Company Shareholder
is a Non-Accredited Seller, (A) the Exchange Agent shall promptly notify Buyer and the SPAC of such status, (B) Buyer and the SPAC, to
the extent that neither has reasonable knowledge that such Company Shareholder is an accredited investor, shall promptly deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Exchange Agent, for further distribution to such Non-Accredited Seller, the amount in cash payable to such Non-Accredited
Seller in respect of the Closing Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.9(i), (C) the Exchange Agent shall distribute such cash to
such Non-Accredited Seller in lieu of Buyer Exchangeable Shares and (D) the Buyer Exchangeable Shares previously made available to the
Exchange Agent in respect of Merger Consideration deliverable to such Non-Accredited Seller shall be returned by the Exchange Agent to
Buyer.

(d)       The
Exchange Agent shall, with respect to each holder of Shares, no later than the later of: (i) if such holder has previously delivered completed
and validly executed Surrender Documentation, five (5) Business Days following the determination of the final number of Buyer Exchangeable
Shares to be issued following the determination of the adjustment under Section 2.6(d); or (ii) if such holder has not yet delivered completed
and validly executed Surrender Documentation, 15 Business Days after receipt of such completed and validly executed Surrender Documentation,
issue to such holder its share as indicated in the Merger Consideration Spreadsheet of the Holdback Shares (and any Additional Shares,
if applicable) with respect to such Shares. Until such time as the Holdback Shares shall be released to the Company Shareholders or permanently
withheld pursuant to Section 2.18, the Holdback Shares will be held in escrow by the Exchange Agent and treated as having been issued
at the Closing to the respective Company Shareholders and outstanding, and the respective Company Shareholders (i) will be shown as the
registered owners thereof on the books and records of Buyer and (ii) shall have all rights to vote such Holdback Shares and receive on
a current basis any dividends or other distributions made with respect to the Holdback Shares, which dividends and distributions shall
be issued to Exchange Agent, held by Exchange Agent for the benefit of the Company Shareholders, and included as part of the Holdback
Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Non-Accredited Seller, (A) Buyer and the SPAC shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Exchange Agent, for further distribution to such Non-Accredited Seller in accordance with this Section 2.9(d), the amount
in cash payable to such Non-Accredited Seller in respect of the Holdback Shares (and any Additional Shares, if applicable) pursuant to
Section 2.9(i), (B) the Exchange Agent shall distribute such cash to such Non-Accredited Seller in lieu of Buyer Exchangeable Shares and
(C) the Holdback Shares previously made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of such Non-Accredited Seller shall be returned by
the Exchange Agent to Buyer.

 

(e)       The
Exchange Agent shall, with respect to each holder of Shares, no later than the later of: (i) if such holder has previously delivered
completed and validly executed Surrender Documentation, the date upon which Buyer Exchangeable Shares become issuable to Company Shareholders
as Earnout Consideration pursuant to Article 2 of the Investor Rights Agreement and the Exchange Agent receives such Buyer Exchangeable
Shares in respect of such Earnout Consideration; or (ii) if such holder has not yet delivered completed and validly executed
Surrender Documentation, 15 Business Days after receipt of such completed and validly executed Surrender Documentation, issue to such
holder its share as indicated in the Merger Consideration Spreadsheet of such Earnout Consideration with respect to such Shares. With
respect to each Company Shareholder, from and after the Exchange Agent’s receipt of Buyer Exchangeable Shares in respect of Earnout
Consideration until such time as such Company Shareholder’s Buyer Exchangeable Shares shall be deliverable to such Company Shareholder
pursuant to this Section 2.9(e), such Buyer Exchangeable Shares will be held in escrow by the Exchange Agent and treated as having been
issued upon such Earnout Consideration becoming issuable to such Company Shareholder pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, and such
Company Shareholder (i) will be shown as the registered owner thereof on the books and records of Buyer and (ii) shall have all rights
to receive on a current basis any dividends or other distributions made with respect to such Buyer Exchangeable Shares which dividends
and distributions shall be issued to Exchange Agent, held by Exchange Agent for the benefit of such Company Shareholder, and included
as part of such Buyer Exchangeable Shares. The Exchange Agent shall, no later than the date upon which Buyer Exchangeable Shares become
issuable to Vested Optionholders as Earnout Consideration pursuant to Article 2 of the Investor Rights Agreement and the Exchange Agent
receives such Buyer Exchangeable Shares in respect of such Earnout Consideration, issue to each Vested Optionholder its share as indicated
in the Merger Consideration Spreadsheet of such Earnout Consideration with respect to the Vested Exchanged Options held by such Vested
Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Non-Accredited Seller, (A) Buyer and the SPAC shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Exchange Agent, for further distribution to such Non-Accredited Seller in accordance with this Section 2.9(e),
the amount in cash payable to such Non-Accredited Seller in respect of Earnout Consideration pursuant to Section 2.9(i) and (B) the Exchange
Agent shall distribute such cash to such Non-Accredited Seller in lieu of Buyer Exchangeable Shares.

 

    - 28 -

     

    

 

(f)       Until
so surrendered, each outstanding Share (and any Certificate that prior to the Effective Time represented Shares) (other than Dissenting
Shares) shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, to evidence the right to receive the portion of the Merger
Consideration as provided in Sections 2.6(b) and (d). If after the Effective Time, any Share (or any Certificate that prior to the Effective
Time represented a Share) is presented to the Exchange Agent, it shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section.

 

(g)       Any
portion of the Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed by the Company Shareholders six months after the date upon which such portion
of the Merger Consideration became deliverable to the Company Shareholders shall be returned to Buyer or the SPAC, as applicable, upon
demand, and any such Company Shareholder who has not exchanged the Surrender Documentation for the Merger Consideration in accordance
with this Section prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Buyer or the SPAC, as applicable, for issuance of such portion of
the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor the SPAC shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any amounts
paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any portion of the Merger Consideration
remaining unclaimed by Company Shareholders two years after the date upon which such portion of the Merger Consideration became deliverable
to the Company Shareholders (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become
property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Buyer or
the SPAC, as applicable, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

 

    - 29 -

     

    

 

(h)       Any
portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Buyer
or the SPAC, as applicable, upon demand.

 

(i)       Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in the event that a Seller is not an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), the Merger Consideration deliverable to such Seller shall be solely in the
form of cash (any Seller that receives cash in lieu of Buyer Exchangeable Shares pursuant to this Section 2.9(i), a “Non-Accredited
Seller”). The amount of cash payable to a Non-Accredited Seller in respect of Merger Consideration pursuant to the foregoing
sentence shall be equal to (i) with respect to the Closing Merger Consideration, the number of Buyer Exchangeable Shares that otherwise
would have been deliverable to such Non-Accredited Seller in respect thereof (taking into account the Holdback Shares to be withheld from
such Non-Accredited Seller in accordance with Section 2.6(d)) multiplied by $10.00, (ii) with respect to any Holdback Shares and Additional
Shares that become deliverable pursuant to Section 2.18, the number of Holdback Shares and Additional Shares that otherwise would have
been deliverable to such Non-Accredited Seller pursuant to Section 2.18 multiplied by $10.00, and (iii) with respect to Earnout Consideration,
(A) the number of Buyer Exchangeable Shares that otherwise would have been deliverable to such Non-Accredited Seller in respect thereof
multiplied by (B) the closing trading price for a SPAC Subordinate Voting Share on the principal securities exchange on which such security
is traded on the date immediately preceding the date that such Earnout Consideration becomes deliverable to the Company Shareholders pursuant
to the Investor Rights Agreement.

 

2.10.       No
Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. All Merger Consideration issued or payable in respect of the Shares in accordance with
the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued, paid or payable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares and
in consideration for all obligations, covenants and agreements of the holder thereof set forth in this Agreement and the agreements and
documents ancillary hereto (including, without limitation, the indemnification obligations and appointment of Sellers’ Representative
set forth in this Agreement and the release set forth in the Letter of Transmittal), 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,
Shares (or Certificates that prior to the Effective Time represented Shares) 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 2
and elsewhere in this Agreement.

 

2.11.       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, the outstanding shares of Company Stock, Buyer Exchangeable Shares, or SPAC Shares shall have been changed into a
different number of shares or a different class, by reason of the PIPE Investment or any stock dividend, subdivision,
reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have
occurred, or if there shall have been any breach by SPAC with respect to SPAC Shares or rights to acquire SPAC Shares, then
any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of shares of Company Stock,
Buyer Exchangeable Shares, or SPAC Shares, as applicable, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the Company Shareholders or
the SPAC Shareholders, as applicable, the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however,
that this Section 2.11 shall not be construed to permit SPAC or the Company to take any action with respect to their respective
securities that is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

    - 30 -

     

    

 

2.12.       Withholding
Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Buyer, 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 2 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
the Exchange Agent, Buyer, 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 the Exchange Agent, Buyer, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation,
as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

 

2.13.       Lost
Certificates. If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person
claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Buyer, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable
amount as Buyer may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange
Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares
formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article 2.

 

2.14.       Exchange
Rights, Coattail, Lockup and Registration Rights Agreements. As a condition to the issuance of Buyer Exchangeable Shares and the closing
of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement: (a) the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of the Company Shareholders, must
enter into an exchange rights agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F setting forth the rights and obligations
of the Buyer Exchangeable Shares (collectively, the “Exchange Rights Agreement”), and (b) the Company Founders must
enter into: (i) a lockup agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, pursuant to which 50% of the Buyer
Exchangeable Shares issued to the Company Founders will be subject to a six (6) month lock-up period and the remaining 50% of the Buyer
Exchangeable Shares issued to the Company Founders will be issued and be subject to a twelve (12) month lock-up period (collectively,
the “Lockup Agreement”); and (ii) a Coattail Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H
(the “Coattail Agreement”). At Closing, the Sponsor and the Company Founders shall be granted registration rights by
the SPAC as set out in a registration rights agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”).

 

2.15.       Investor
Rights Agreement. Simultaneous with signing of this Agreement, Sponsor, certain of the Sellers and certain other parties thereto
shall have entered into an Investor Rights Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Investor Rights
Agreement”), pursuant to which: (a) post-closing, Sponsor and certain other parties may be required to forfeit certain SPAC
sponsor shares; (b) Sponsor and certain other parties will agree to vote in favor of the transactions contemplated herein; and (c) Sponsor
will be entitled, for as long as it holds at least 50% of the SPAC Shares it owned at Closing (not including any forfeited shares) to
put forward one nominee, represented initially by Robert J. Mendola, as a director of the SPAC. Prior to the Closing, the Company and
the Sellers’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a duly executed joinder to the Investor Rights
Agreement from each holder of shares of Class B common stock of the Company that did not execute the Investor Rights Agreement on the

2.16.       [Reserved].

 

2.17.       Preparation
of Working Capital Statement.

 

(a)       Within
ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (or such other date as is mutually agreed to by Sellers’ Representative and Buyer in
writing), Buyer will prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a draft consolidated statement (the “Draft Working
Capital Statement”) of: (i) a balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date immediately
preceding the Closing Date; (ii) based on such balance sheet, Buyer’s calculation of the Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness,
and Company Closing Cash; and (iii) a calculation of the Closing Merger Consideration substituting the calculations of Working Capital,
Closing Indebtedness, and Company Closing Cash set forth in the Draft Working Capital Statement for the Estimated Working Capital, Estimated
Indebtedness, and Estimated Cash set forth in the Merger Consideration Spreadsheet, respectively. The Draft Working Capital Statement
will be prepared in accordance with Section 1.3 and will include reasonable detail on the computation thereof. If the Buyer fails to deliver
the Draft Working Capital Statement within the aforementioned ninety (90) day period (or such other period as was mutually agreed to by
Sellers’ Representative and Buyer in writing), no adjustment to the Estimated Closing Merger Consideration will be made under Section
2.18, unless Sellers’ Representative notifies Buyer to the contrary in writing within five (5) Business Days after the expiration
of the aforementioned ninety (90) day period. In the event that the Sellers’ Representative so notifies Buyer within such five (5)
Business Day period, the Sellers’ Representative shall prepare and deliver to Buyer within thirty (30) days following such notice
the Draft Working Capital Statement and this Section 2.17 shall continue to apply to the determination of the Closing Working Capital
Statement, mutatis mutandis. During such thirty (30)-day period, Buyer will provide access, upon every reasonable request, to the
Sellers’ Representative and the Representatives of the Sellers to all books, records, and appropriate personnel of Buyer, SPAC,
the Acquired Companies and their respective auditors for purposes of preparing the Draft Working Capital Statement. If the Sellers’
Representative fails to deliver the Draft Working Capital Statement within such thirty (30)-day period, no adjustment to the Estimated
Closing Merger Consideration will be made under Section 2.18.

 

(b)       The
Sellers’ Representative will have twenty (20) Business Days to review the Draft Working Capital Statement following receipt of
it and the Sellers’ Representative must notify the Buyer in writing if the Sellers’ Representative has any objections to
the Draft Working Capital Statement within such period. The notice of objection must contain a statement of the basis of each of the
objections and each amount in dispute. The Buyer will provide access, upon every reasonable request, to the Sellers’
Representative and the Representatives of the Sellers to all work papers and books and records of the Buyer’, SPAC’, the
Acquired Companies and their respective auditors’ and the appropriate personnel to verify the accuracy, presentation and other
matters relating to the preparation of the Draft Working Capital Statement, subject to, if applicable, execution and delivery by the
Sellers’ Representative and the Representatives of Sellers of any agreement or other document, including any release, waiver
or indemnity that the Buyer’s auditors may reasonably require prior to providing such access.

 

    - 32 -

     

    

 

(c)       If
the Sellers’ Representative sends a notice of objection of the Draft Working Capital Statement in accordance with Section 2.17(b),
the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, and the Buyer and/or SPAC, on the other hand, will promptly make commercially reasonable
efforts to try to resolve such objections within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of the notice of objection. Failing resolution
of any objection to the Draft Working Capital Statement raised by the Sellers’ Representative, only the amount(s) in dispute will
be submitted for determination to an independent firm of chartered professional accountants with sufficient experience representing companies
conducting business within the cannabis industry mutually agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer (and, failing such
agreement between the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer within a further period of five (5) Business Days, each of the Sellers’
Representative and the Buyer shall select a firm of chartered professional accountants and such firms shall mutually agree upon a third
independent firm of chartered professional accountants that will determine all disputes (the “Accounting Firm”)). The
Accounting Firm will identify a member of the firm to act in such mandate and will determine the procedures applicable to the resolution
of the amounts in dispute with the primary purposes of minimizing expenses of the parties and expediting the accurate resolution of the
dispute. The determination of such Accounting Firm of the amount(s) in dispute and any corresponding changes flowing from the resolution
of such amounts in dispute will be final and binding upon the Parties and will not be subject to appeal, absent manifest error. Such Accounting
Firm will be deemed to be acting as experts and not as arbitrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the determination of such Accounting
Firm of the amount(s) in dispute will in no event be more favorable to the Buyer than reflected in the Draft Working Capital Statement
delivered by the Buyer or more favorable to the Sellers than shown in the proposed changes to the Draft Working Capital Statement delivered
by the Sellers’ Representative under its notice of objection pursuant to Section 2.17(b). During the review by the Accounting Firm,
the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will each make available to such Accounting Firm, such individuals and such information,
facilities, books, records and work papers as may be reasonably required by the Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations hereunder during
normal business hours (such access not to unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Buyer, the Acquired Companies, or the Sellers).

 

(d)       If
the Sellers’ Representative does not notify the Buyer of any objection to the Draft Working Capital Statement within the twenty
(20) Business Day period set forth in Section 2.17(b), the Sellers will be deemed to have accepted and approved the Draft Working Capital
Statement and such Draft Working Capital Statement will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error and will
become the “Closing Working Capital Statement” on the next Business Day following the end of such period.

 

(e)       If
the Sellers’ Representative sends a notice of objection in accordance with Section 2.17(b), the Sellers’ Representative
and Buyer will revise the Draft Working Capital Statement to reflect the final resolution or final determination of such objections
under Section 2.17(c) within five (5) Business Days following such final resolution or determination. Such revised Draft Working
Capital Statement will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error. The Draft Working Capital Statement
will become the “Closing Working Capital Statement” on the next Business Day following revision of the Draft Working
Capital Statement under this Section 2.17(e).

 

    - 33 -

     

    

 

(f)       The
Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) and the Buyer will each bear their own fees and expenses, including the fees
and expenses of their respective auditors, in preparing or reviewing, as the case may be, the Draft Working Capital Statement. In the
case of a dispute and the retention of the Accounting Firm to determine such amount(s) in dispute, the costs and expenses of such Accounting
Firm will be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers), on the other hand, in such
amount(s) as will be determined by the Accounting Firm based on the proportion that the aggregate amount of disputed items submitted to
the Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand,
as determined by the Accounting Firm, bears to the total amount of such disputed items so referred to the Accounting Firm for resolution.
However, the Sellers and the Buyer will each bear their own costs in presenting their respective cases to such Accounting Firm.

 

(g)       The
Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.17 for resolving disputes with respect to the Draft Working Capital Statement
is the sole and exclusive method of resolving such disputes, absent manifest error; provided that (i) the authority of the Accounting
Firm pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be limited solely to the resolution of the calculation of amounts in dispute, and all other disputes
between the parties (including with respect to the contractual interpretation of this Section 2.17) shall be resolved in accordance with
Section 10.4, and (ii) subject to Section 10.4 (except the requirement to arbitrate set forth in Section 10.4(b)), this Section 2.17(g)
will not prohibit any Party from instigating litigation to compel specific performance of this Section 2.17 or to enforce the determination
of the Accounting Firm.

 

2.18.       Working
Capital Adjustment to Merger Consideration.

 

(a)       If
the Closing Merger Consideration set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement is less than the Estimated Closing Merger Consideration
by more than US $500,000, (i) the full amount of such shortfall shall be offset by a reduction to the number of Holdback Shares (with
each Holdback Share having a deemed value equal to the value of such Holdback Share at the Closing) and (ii) the number of Holdback Shares
that remain following such reduction shall be delivered to the Company Shareholders in accordance with Section 2.9(d). If the number
of Holdback Shares are insufficient to offset the full amount of any shortfall, the amount of such unsatisfied shortfall shall be satisfied
by reducing the number of Buyer Exchangeable Shares issued or to be issued under Section 2.9 to the Company Shareholders (and, if applicable,
the Vested Optionholders) on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage interest allocations as set forth in the
Merger Consideration Spreadsheet (with each Buyer Exchangeable Share having a deemed value equal to the value of such Buyer Exchangeable
Share at the Closing). In the case of issued Buyer Exchangeable Shares, each of the Company Shareholders (and, if applicable, the Vested
Optionholders) shall surrender for cancellation the requisite number of Buyer Exchangeable Shares and will cooperate fully
with the Buyer and the Exchange Agent with respect to same.

 

(b)       If
the Closing Merger Consideration set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement is greater than the Estimated Closing Merger Consideration
by more than US $500,000, (i) the full amount of the Holdback Shares shall be delivered to the Company Shareholders in accordance with
Section 2.9(d) and (ii) the Buyer shall deliver to the Exchange Agent, for further delivery to the Company Shareholders in accordance
with Section 2.9(d), an additional number of Buyer Exchangeable Shares (“Additional Shares”) representing a value equal
to the amount of such excess (with each Buyer Exchangeable Share having a deemed value equal to the value of a Buyer Exchangeable Share
at the Closing).

 

    - 34 -

     

    

 

2.19.       No Effect on
Other Rights. Except as set forth in Section 9.1(h)(v), the determination and adjustment of the Purchase Price in accordance with
the provisions of this Article 2 will not limit or affect any other rights or causes of action either the Buyer or the Sellers may have
with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in its favor contained in this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 3

3.1.       Closing.
The closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) will take place remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and

that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) and in any event
within three (3) Business Days thereafter, or on such other date as Buyer and Sellers’ Representative may mutually determine (the

Transaction; (d) the SPAC’s good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of debt and other payables on the SPAC’s balance
sheet as of the closing of the Transaction; and (e) the SPAC’s good faith estimate of the SPAC Closing Cash resulting therefrom,
in each case, including reasonable supporting detail therefor. From and after delivery of the SPAC Closing Statement until the Closing,
SPAC shall (i) provide the Company and its Representatives with reasonable access at all reasonable times during normal business hours
and upon reasonable prior notice to the books and records of SPAC, Buyer, and Merger Sub and to senior management personnel of SPAC,

representations and warranties in this Article 4 excluding any Seller Individual Representation), that the statements contained in this
Article 4 made by such Person are correct and complete as of the date hereof. A fact or matter disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedules
with respect to one section or subsection thereof will be deemed to be disclosed with respect to each other section or subsection where
such disclosure is applicable to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from reading such Company Disclosure Schedule that such disclosure
is applicable to such other sections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement (in addition to any specific
exception to Federal Cannabis Laws set forth in this Article 4), all representations, warranties covenants and disclosures of the Acquired
Companies and the Sellers in this Article 4 are being made with exception to and not with respect to Federal Cannabis Laws. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Article 4 (other than those set

being conducted and to own and lease its properties and assets, except where the failure to possess such power and authority would not
reasonably be expected to result in material liability or otherwise materially interfere with the conduct of the Business in the manner

Non-Parties) hereby disclaim all liability and responsibility for any representation, warranty, projection, forecast, statement,
omission, or information made, not made, communicated, or furnished (whether orally or in writing, in any data room relating to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in management presentations, functional “break-out” discussions, responses
to questions or requests submitted by or on behalf of Buyer, Merger Sub, or the SPAC or in any other form in consideration for
investigation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to Buyer, Merger Sub, the SPAC or any of their respective
Affiliates or representatives (including any opinion, information, forecast, projection, or advice that may have been or may be
provided to Buyer, Merger Sub, the SPAC or their respective Affiliates or Representatives by the Company, any Seller or any

ARTICLE 5

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER, MERGER SUB AND SPAC

 

Except as set forth on the
disclosure schedules delivered by Buyer to Sellers and the Company on the date hereof (the “Buyer Disclosure Schedules”),
Buyer, Merger Sub and the SPAC, jointly and severally, represent and warrant as of the date hereof to Sellers and the Company as follows:

 

5.1.         Organization
and Good Standing. Each of Buyer and Merger Sub is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware. The SPAC is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
Province of British Columbia. Each of the SPAC, Buyer and Merger Sub is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing as a foreign
corporation in all jurisdictions in which its ownership of property or the character of its activities is such as to require it to be
so licensed or qualified, except where failure to be so licensed or qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on the SPAC, Buyer, and Merger Sub. Each of the SPAC, Buyer and Merger Sub has full organizational power and authority, as applicable,
to conduct its business as it is presently being conducted and to own and lease its properties and assets, except where the failure to
possess such power and authority would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability or otherwise materially interfere with
the conduct of the business of the SPAC, Buyer, and Merger Sub. Complete and correct copies of the constating documents of each of the
SPAC, the Buyer and Merger Sub, and all amendments thereto, have been made available to the Company. None of the SPAC, Buyer or Merger
Sub is in violation of the provisions of its constating documents.

 

5.2.         No
Prior Buyer or Merger Sub Operations. Each of Buyer and Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the Merger
and has not engaged in any business activities or conducted any operations other than in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby.

 

5.3.         Authority;
Authorization; Binding Effect. Each of the SPAC, Merger Sub and Buyer has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute
and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the Transaction and to perform its obligations under this Agreement (except under
Federal Cannabis Laws). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of the SPAC, Merger Sub and Buyer and
constitutes a legal (except under Federal Cannabis Laws), valid and binding obligation of the SPAC, Merger Sub and Buyer,
enforceable against the SPAC, Merger Sub and Buyer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by
Enforceability Limitations. At a meeting duly called and held, the SPAC Board has unanimously: (a) determined that this Agreement
and the Transaction are fair to and in the best interests of the SPAC Shareholders; (b) determined that the aggregate fair market
value of the Acquired Companies, together with all other Persons to be acquired pursuant to the Other Transactions, is equal to at
least 80% of the amount held in the Escrow Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned)
as of the date hereof; (c) approved this Agreement and the Transaction; and (d) resolved to recommend to the SPAC Shareholders
approval of this Agreement and the Transaction. Assuming a quorum is present at the SPAC Meeting, as adjourned or postponed, the
only vote of any of the SPAC Shareholders necessary in connection with the entry into this Agreement by the SPAC, the consummation
of the Transaction, and the approval of the SPAC Resolution is the affirmative vote of a majority-in-interest of the SPAC
Shareholders.

 

    - 58 -

     

    

 

5.4.         No
Conflict or Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transaction and the performance by each
of the SPAC, Merger Sub and Buyer of their obligations under this Agreement, do not and will not result in or constitute (i) a violation
of or a conflict with any provision of the certificate of incorporation, articles or by-laws of the SPAC, Merger Sub or Buyer, as applicable,
(ii) a breach of, a loss of rights under, or constitute an event, occurrence, condition or act which is or, with the giving of notice,
the lapse of time or the happening of any future event or condition, would become, a material default under, any term or provision of
any contract, agreement, indebtedness, lease, commitment, license, franchise, permit, authorization or concession to which the SPAC, Merger
Sub or Buyer is a party, (iii) a violation by the SPAC, Merger Sub or Buyer of any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, by-law, code,
order, judgment, writ, injunction, decree or award (except for Federal Cannabis Laws), or (iv) the creation of any material Encumbrances
(other than Permitted Encumbrances) upon any of the properties or assets of the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub, or give rise to any right
of notice, modification, acceleration, payment, suspension, withdrawal or termination, or to the loss of any rights or benefits of any
material Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

 

5.5.         Consents
and Approvals. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.5 of the Buyer Disclosure Schedules, no consent, approval or authorization
of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority is required to be made or obtained by the SPAC, Merger Sub
or Buyer in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction, except
for any such consent, approval, authorization, declaration, filing, or registration the failure of which to be made or obtained would
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to (a) materially interfere with, prevent, or materially delay the ability
of the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub to enter into or perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Transaction, or (b)
result in material liability or otherwise materially interfere with the conduct of the business of the SPAC, Buyer, and Merger Sub.

 

5.6.         No
Proceedings. There is no Proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the SPAC, Merger Sub or Buyer, threatened against, relating to
or affecting in any material adverse manner the SPAC, Buyer, Merger Sub, their respective properties, assets or businesses, or their
respective ability to consummate the Transaction.

 

5.7.         No
Brokers. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.7 of the Buyer Disclosure Schedules, SPAC, Merger Sub and Buyer have not
entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person which will result in the obligation to pay any
finder’s fee, underwriting fee, deferred underwriting fee, brokerage commission or similar payment in connection with the
Transaction.

5.8.         Capitalization.

to be issued under the Exchange Rights Agreement and any equity interests of Buyer and Merger Sub, the SPAC or their respective Affiliates
to be issued pursuant to the Other Transactions or in connection with the PIPE Investment, the shares, rights and warrants as specified

to Buyer, Merger Sub or the SPAC or to any other equity interests, phantom equity interests or other securities of Buyer, Merger Sub or
the SPAC; (b) there are no agreements of any kind relating to the issuance of any equity interests of Buyer, Merger Sub or the SPAC, or

having the right to vote) on any matter for which the SPAC Shareholders may vote. None of the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub is a party to
any shareholders agreement, voting agreement or registration rights agreement relating to SPAC Shares or any other equity securities of
the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub. The SPAC does not, directly or indirectly, own or have any right to acquire any capital stock or any other
equity securities in any Person, other than Buyer and Merger Sub.

 

5.9.         Securities
Law Matters.

 

(a)          The
SPAC Class A Shares are listed and posted for trading on the NEO Exchange and the SPAC is not in default of the rules, regulations
or policies of the NEO Exchange in any material respect. None of the SPAC, the Buyer or Merger Sub is in breach of any securities
Laws in any material respect. None of the SPAC, the Buyer or Merger Sub is subject to continuous, periodic, or other disclosure
requirements under any securities Laws in any jurisdiction other than the provinces and territories of Canada. No delisting,
suspension of trading in or cease trade or other order or restriction with respect to the securities of the SPAC, the Buyer, or
Merger Sub, and no Proceeding of any SPAC Securities Authority, other Governmental Authority or the NEO Exchange with respect to any
such securities, is pending, in effect or ongoing or, to the knowledge of the SPAC, has been threatened or is expected to be
implemented or undertaken. None of the SPAC nor any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the listing of
the SPAC Shares or SPAC Warrants under the SPAC Securities Laws.

 

    - 60 -

     

    

 

(b)          The
SPAC is a “reporting issuer” or the equivalent thereof in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (other than Quebec).
The SPAC has not taken any action to cease to be a reporting issuer in any province or territory nor has the SPAC received notification
from any SPAC Securities Authority seeking to revoke the reporting issuer status of the SPAC. Neither the Buyer nor Merger Sub is a reporting
issuer (or its equivalent) in any jurisdiction.

 

(c)          The
SPAC has timely filed or furnished all filings required to be filed or furnished by the SPAC with any Governmental Authority (including
 “documents affecting the rights of securityholders” and “material contracts” required to be filed by Part 12 of
National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations), as modified by the exemptive relief granted by the SPAC Securities
Authorities in the Final IPO Prospectus. Each such filing has complied as filed with applicable Law and did not, as of the date filed
(or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing prior to the date of this Agreement, on the date of such filing), contain any misrepresentation.

 

(d)          The
SPAC has not filed any confidential material change report (which at the date of this Agreement remains both material and confidential)
or any other confidential filings filed to or furnished with, as applicable, any SPAC Securities Authority other than an exemptive relief
application regarding financial statements to be included in the Prospectus. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment
letters from any SPAC Securities Authority with respect to any of filings by the SPAC and, to the knowledge of the SPAC, none of the SPAC,
the Buyer or Merger Sub, or any filing by any such entity, is the subject of an ongoing audit, review, comment or investigation by any
SPAC Securities Authority or other Governmental Authority.

of the issuance of the Buyer Exchangeable Shares by the Buyer in satisfaction of the Merger Consideration, the issuance of the SPAC Supervoting
Shares by the SPAC pursuant to the Founder Subscription Agreements, and the issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares upon exchange of the
Buyer Exchangeable Shares, is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities Laws and such securities
(assuming the holder is not, and does not become, a “control person” of the SPAC) will not be subject to any statutory hold
period or other restriction on transfer, other than any contractual agreements entered into with respect to such securities, it being
understood that such contractual agreements will provide that the SPAC Supervoting Shares are not transferrable except in accordance with
the terms of such contractual agreements.

 

    - 61 -

     

    

 

5.10.       Financial
Statements; Undisclosed Liabilities.

 

(a)          The
audited financial statements of the SPAC for the period from April 16, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (including the notes thereto and
the auditor’s report thereon) (the “SPAC Financial Statements”) were, and any audited financial statements to
be included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus will be, prepared in accordance with IFRS consistently applied (except as otherwise
indicated in such financial statements and the notes thereto and in the related report of the SPAC’s independent auditors, as the
case may be) and fairly present or will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position, results of operations
and changes in financial position of the SPAC as of the date thereof and for the period indicated therein.

 

(b)          The
SPAC does not intend to correct or restate, nor to the knowledge of the SPAC, is there any basis for any correction or restatement of,
any aspect of any of the financial statements of the SPAC referred to herein. The selected financial data and the summary financial information
included in any filing by the SPAC present fairly the information shown in such filing and have been compiled on a basis consistent with
that of the SPAC Financial Statements. The other financial and operational information included in any filings by the SPAC presents fairly
the information included in such filings.

 

(c)          There
are no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, or obligations (including contingent obligations) of the SPAC with unconsolidated
entities or persons.

 

5.11.       Independent
Investigations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Buyer, Merger Sub and the SPAC acknowledges
and agrees that none of the Acquired Companies, any Seller, or any other Person (including any Non-Party) is making, has made, or will
be deemed to make or have made, any representations or warranties whatsoever relating to the Acquired Companies, the Business or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, whether express or implied, at law or in equity, beyond the Sellers’ and each Acquired Company’s
Contractual Representations. In furtherance, not limitation, of the foregoing, Buyer, Merger Sub and the SPAC (on behalf of itself and
any Non-Party or other Person claiming by, through, or on behalf of Buyer, Merger Sub or the SPAC) hereby:

 

(a)          disclaims
the existence of, and Buyer’s, Merger Sub’s and the SPAC’s (or such Non-Party or other Person’s) reliance on,
any other representations or warranties (including any Sellers’ and the Acquired Companies’ Extra Contractual Representations
but excluding Sellers’ and the Acquired Companies’ Contractual Representations), whether alleged to have been made by any
Acquired Company, a Seller, or any of their respective Non-Parties,

 

(b)          acknowledges
and agrees that:

 

(i)         no
Non-Party (or other Party hereto as to a given Party hereto) has any authority, express or implied, to make any representations, warranties
or agreements not specifically set forth in this Agreement and subject to the limited remedies herein provided;

 

(ii)        none
of the Acquired Companies, any Seller, or any of their respective Non-Parties nor any other Person is making, has made, or will be deemed
to make or have made, any representation or warranty, express or implied, other than the Sellers’ and the Company’s Contractual
Representations set forth herein;

 

    - 62 -

     

    

 

(iii)       none
of the Acquired Companies, any Seller, or any of their respective Non-Parties or any other Person will have any liability whatsoever to
Buyer, Merger Sub, the SPAC, or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Buyer, the SPAC or their respective Representatives,
or Buyer’s, Merger Sub’s or the SPAC’s use of, any materials constituting Sellers’ and the Company’s Extra
Contractual Representations or otherwise relating to the Acquired Companies, the Business, any Seller, or the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, except with respect to any specific applicable Buyer’s, Merger Sub’s and the SPAC’s Contractual Representations;

 

(iv)       each
of Buyer, Merger Sub and the SPAC has conducted to its satisfaction its own independent investigation of the condition, operations and
business of the Acquired Companies and the Business and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, each of Buyer, Merger Sub and the SPAC has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation; and

 

(v)        each
of Buyer, Merger Sub and the SPAC is an informed and sophisticated Person, and has engaged advisors experienced in the evaluation and
purchase of companies such as the Company as contemplated hereunder and the acquisition of securities such as the Company Stock.

 

5.12.       Financial
Ability; Escrow Account. As of the date hereof, there is at least Four Hundred Million and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($400,000,000.00)
invested in the Escrow Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Escrow Account may be released except in
accordance with the Escrow Agreement, the SPAC’s organizational documents, the IPO Underwriting Agreement and the Final IPO
Prospectus. SPAC has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it under, and is not in material default, breach
or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Escrow Agreement, and no event has
occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute such a default or breach
thereunder. There are no Proceedings pending with respect to the Escrow Account. Since the creation of the Escrow Account, the SPAC
has not released any money from the Escrow Account (other than interest income earned on the principal held in the Escrow Account as
permitted by the Escrow Agreement). As of the Effective Time, the obligations of the SPAC to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to the
SPAC’s organizational documents shall terminate, and, as of the Effective Time, SPAC shall have no obligation whatsoever
pursuant to the SPAC’s organizational documents to dissolve and liquidate the assets of the SPAC by reason of the consummation
of the Transaction. To the SPAC’s knowledge, following the Effective Time, no SPAC Shareholder shall be entitled to receive
any amount from the Escrow Account except to the extent such SPAC Shareholder shall have validly elected to tender its SPAC Shares
for redemption pursuant to the SPAC Shareholder Redemption. The Escrow Agreement is in full force and effect and are a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the SPAC and, to the knowledge of the SPAC, enforceable in accordance with its terms as such enforcement
may be limited by Enforceability Limitations. The Escrow Agreement has not been terminated, repudiated, rescinded, amended,
supplemented or modified in any respect and, to the knowledge of the SPAC, no such termination, repudiation, rescission, amendment,
supplement or modification is contemplated. There are no side letters and there are no Contracts, arrangements or understandings,
whether written or oral, which would entitle any Person (other than SPAC Shareholders who shall have elected to redeem their SPAC
Shares pursuant to the SPAC Shareholder Redemption) to any portion of the proceeds in the Escrow Account. As of the date hereof,
assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Company contained herein and the compliance by
the Sellers and the Company with their respective obligations hereunder, the SPAC has no reason to believe that any of the
conditions to the use of funds in the Escrow Account will not be satisfied or that the funds available in the Escrow Account will
not be available to SPAC on the Closing Date.

Activities.

 

(a)       Since
its incorporation, the SPAC has not conducted any business activities other than activities directed toward the accomplishment of the
Transaction and the Other Transactions or other qualifying transactions. Except as set forth in the SPAC’s organizational documents,
there is no agreement, commitment or Order binding upon the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub or to which the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub is a
party which has or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or impairing any business practice of the SPAC, Buyer,
Merger Sub, any acquisition of property by the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub, or the conduct of business by the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub,
other than such effects, individually or in the aggregate, which have not, and would not reasonably be expected to, (a) materially interfere
with, prevent, or materially delay the ability of the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub to enter into or perform its obligations under this Agreement
or to consummate the Transaction, or (b) result in material liability or otherwise materially interfere with the conduct of the business
of the SPAC, Buyer, and Merger Sub.

 

(b)       Except
for this Agreement, for any reimbursement obligations of the SPAC to the Sponsor that will be satisfied and discharged at or prior to
the Closing, or as set forth on Schedule 5.13(b) of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, the SPAC is not, and has never been, party to
any Contract with any other Person that would require payments by the SPAC in excess of US $200,000 in the aggregate with respect to any
individual Contract or more than US $750,000 in the aggregate when taken together with all other Contracts (other than this Agreement
and the agreements expressly contemplated hereby and Contracts set forth on Schedule 5.13(b) of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule).

 

(c)       There
is no liability, debt or obligation against the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub, except for liabilities, debts and obligations (i) reflected
or reserved for on the SPAC’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, or disclosed in the notes thereto (other than any such liabilities,
debts and obligations not reflected, reserved or disclosed as are not and would not be, in the aggregate, material to the SPAC, Buyer,
and Merger Sub), (ii) that have arisen since December 31, 2020 in the ordinary course of the operation of business of the SPAC (other
than any such liabilities, debts and obligations as are not and would not be, in the aggregate, material to the SPAC), (iii) disclosed
in the Buyer Disclosure Schedules or (iv) incurred in connection with or contemplated by this Agreement, the Transaction, and/or the Other
Transactions.

material Tax Returns required by Law to be filed by the SPAC, Buyer, and Merger Sub have been filed, and all such Tax Returns are true,
correct and complete in all material respects.

 

(b)       All
material amounts of Taxes due and owing by the SPAC, Buyer, and Merger Sub have been paid.

 

(c)       The
SPAC has (i) withheld and deducted all material amounts of Taxes required to have been withheld or deducted by it in connection with amounts
paid or owed to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, shareholder or any other third party, (ii) remitted, or will remit on
a timely basis, such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority and (iii) complied in all material respects with applicable Laws
with respect to Tax withholding.

 

(d)       Neither
the SPAC, Buyer, nor Merger Sub has engaged in any material audit, administrative proceeding or judicial proceeding with respect to Taxes.
Neither the SPAC, Buyer, nor Merger Sub has received any written notice from a Governmental Authority of a dispute or claim with respect
to a material amount of Taxes, other than disputes or claims that have since been resolved, and to the knowledge of the SPAC, no such
claims have been threatened. No written claim has been made, and to the knowledge of the SPAC, no oral claim has been made, since the
SPAC’s incorporation, by any Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction where SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub does not file a Tax Return
that SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub is or may be subject to Taxes by that jurisdiction in respect of Taxes that would be the subject of such
Tax Return. There are no outstanding agreements extending or waiving the statutory period of limitations applicable to any claim for,
or the period for the collection or assessment or reassessment of, material Taxes of the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub and no written request
for any such waiver or extension is currently pending.

 

(e)       There
are no Encumbrances with respect to Taxes on any of the assets of the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub.

 

(f)       Neither
the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub is a party to, or bound by, or has any material obligation to any Governmental Authority or other Person
under any Tax allocation, Tax sharing or Tax indemnification agreement (except, in each case, for any such agreements that are commercial
contracts not primarily relating to Taxes).

 

(g)       Neither
the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub has taken or agreed to take any action not contemplated by this Agreement that would reasonably be expected
to prevent the Merger from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

 

(h)       It
is intended that, upon the consummation of the Merger, the SPAC shall be treated as a United States corporation for United States federal
income Tax purposes (as well as treated as a Canadian taxpayer for Canadian income tax purposes to the extent applicable).

 

5.15.       Related
Party Transactions. Except as described in the public filings of the SPAC, and any reimbursement obligations of the SPAC to the Sponsor
which will be fully settled at or prior to Closing, there are no transactions, contracts, side letters, arrangements or understandings
between the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub, on the one hand, and any director, officer, employee, stockholder, warrant holder or Affiliate
of the SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub, on the other hand, other than pursuant to customary employment arrangements.

 

    - 65 - 

     

    

 

5.16.       Prospectus
Disclosures. At the time of its filing with the NEO Exchange and the SPAC Securities Authorities, the Prospectus (i) will comply in
all material respects (except all information provided for inclusion by the Company or its Affiliates or the counterparties to the Other
Transactions, for which the SPAC makes no representations or warranties) with the requirements of the SPAC Securities Laws pursuant to
which it will be prepared (subject to any exemption that may be granted by the NEO Exchange or the SPAC Securities Authorities to be evidenced
by the issuance of a receipt for the prospectus) and, as applicable, filed, and (ii) all the information and statements contained therein
(except all information provided for inclusion by the Company or its Affiliates or by the counterparties to the Other Transactions, for
which the SPAC makes no representations or warranties) will at the date of filing thereof be, true and correct in all material respects,
contain no misrepresentation and constitute full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the SPAC, the Buyer or Merger
Sub as required by applicable SPAC Securities Laws, and no material fact or information will have been omitted from such disclosure (except
for information provided for inclusion by the Company or its Affiliates or by the counterparties to the Other Transactions, for which
the SPAC makes no representations or warranties) which is required to be stated in such disclosure or is necessary to make the statements
or information contained in such disclosure not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they are to be made.

 

5.17.       Subsidiaries.
The SPAC does not have any direct or indirect equity interests in any corporation, partnership, trust, or other business association other
than the Buyer and Merger Sub.

 

5.18.       Qualifying
Transaction. The Transaction satisfies the requirements of section 10.16(15) of the NEO Exchange listing manual.

 

5.19.       Subscription
Agreements. The SPAC has delivered to the Company a true, correct and complete copy of the fully executed Subscription
Agreements as in effect as of the date hereof. Each of the Subscription Agreements is, as of the date hereof, in full force and
effect (assuming that each such Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized by the applicable PIPE Investor), and as of the date

that any event has occurred that (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) would constitute a breach or default under any
of the Subscription Agreements, (ii) has no knowledge of any fact, event or other occurrence that makes any of the representations
or warranties of the SPAC in any of the Subscription Agreements inaccurate in any material respect and (iii) has no knowledge that
any of the conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements will not be satisfied when
required thereunder or that the transaction proceeds contemplated by the Subscription Agreements will not be made available when
required thereunder. As of the date of this Agreement, no PIPE Investor has notified the SPAC in writing of its intention to
terminate all or any portion of the PIPE Investment Amount or not to provide the financing contemplated thereunder. Other than as
set forth in the PIPE Subscription Agreements delivered to the Company in connection with the execution of this Agreement, (i) there
are no conditions precedent or contingencies to the obligations of the parties under the Subscription Agreements to make the full
PIPE Investment Amount available to the SPAC on the terms therein, and (ii) to the knowledge of the SPAC, there are no side letters
or other agreements, understandings, contracts or arrangements (written, oral or otherwise) related to the Subscription Agreements
or the PIPE Investment, other than those entered into with the placement agents of the PIPE Investment (if any).

or Warranties; Schedules. Subject to Section 10.13, except for those representations and warranties expressly given by Buyer, Merger
Sub and the SPAC in this Article 5 (as modified by the Buyer Disclosure Schedule) (collectively, the “Buyer’s, Merger Sub’s
and the SPAC’s Contractual Representations”), neither the Buyer, Merger Sub or the SPAC, or any other Person makes or
has made (or will be deemed to make or have made) any other representation or warranty, expressed or implied, at law or in equity, by
statute or otherwise, with respect to the Buyer, Merger Sub, the SPAC or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any of the
Buyer’s, Merger Sub’s or the SPAC’s business, assets, liabilities, operations, prospects, or condition (financial or
otherwise). Except for the Buyer’s, Merger Sub’s and the SPAC’s Contractual Representations, the Buyer, Merger Sub and
the SPAC (directly and on behalf of all Non-Parties) hereby disclaim all liability and responsibility for any representation, warranty,
projection, forecast, statement, omission, or information made, not made, communicated, or furnished (whether orally or in writing, in
any data room relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in management presentations, functional “break-out”
discussions, responses to questions or requests submitted by or on behalf of the Sellers or the Acquired Companies or in any other form
in consideration for investigation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to Sellers, the Company or any of their respective
Affiliates or representatives (including any opinion, information, forecast, projection, or advice that may have been or may be provided
to Sellers, the Company or their respective Affiliates or Representatives by Buyer, Merger Sub and the SPAC or any Non-Party). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for any specific applicable Buyer’s, Merger Sub’s and the SPAC’s Contractual
Representations, neither the Buyer, Merger Sub or the SPAC, or any of their respective Non-Parties makes, has made, or will be deemed
to make or have made (and each hereby expressly disclaims), any representation or warranty to Sellers or the Acquired Companies or their
Non-Parties regarding any of the following (the “Buyer’s, Merger Sub’s and the SPAC’s Extra Contractual Representations”):
(a) merchantability or fitness of any assets for any particular purpose; (b) the nature or extent of any liabilities; (c) the prospects
of their business; (d) the probable success or profitability of their business; or (e) the accuracy or completeness of any confidential
information memoranda, documents, projections, material, statement, data, or other information (financial or otherwise) provided to Sellers,

Representatives in any “data rooms,” “virtual data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation
of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or in respect of any other matter or thing whatsoever. The
disclosure of any matter or item in any section of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule hereto will not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment
that any such matter is required to be disclosed.

the other Party with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection
with its preparation of necessary filings or submissions of information to any such Governmental Authority.

 

(e)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including in Article 5), the SPAC shall be permitted to propose extending the date

6.2.       Company
Operation of Business. Except: (a) for the consummation of the Transaction; (b) as set forth on Schedule 6.2 of the
Company Disclosure Schedules or as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any ancillary document; (c) as required by
Law, or (d) to the extent consented to by Buyer or the SPAC (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
provided that, Buyer or the SPAC may withhold consent if it reasonably determines that the action to be taken or omitted would
materially negatively affect the value of the Company or the value of the SPAC post-closing or would delay the Closing), during the
period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, the Company

the ordinary course of the Business subject to good faith disputes over whether payment or performance is owing, and (iv) use all
commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with past practices and policies (including recent past practice in light of COVID-19

taken, or omitted to be taken, that relates to, or arises out of, COVID-19 that is reasonable and prudent from a business
perspective at the time so taken or omitted shall be deemed to be consistent with past practice), to preserve its present business
organizations, keep available the services of each Acquired Company’s employees, preserve its relationships with key
customers, suppliers, distributors, licensors, licensees, and others having business dealings with it, and reasonably pursue all of
its cannabis-related license applications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing herein shall prevent
the Acquired Companies from taking or failing to take any action, including the establishment of any policy, procedure or protocol,
in response to COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measures that is reasonable and prudent from a business perspective at the time so taken or
omitted and (x) no such actions or failure to take such actions shall be deemed to violate or breach this Agreement in any way and
(y) no such actions or failure to take such actions shall serve as a basis for Buyer or SPAC to terminate this Agreement or assert
that any of the conditions to the Closing contained herein have not been satisfied if such actions are reasonable and prudent from a
business perspective at the time so taken or omitted and do not otherwise violate any other provision of this Agreement. During the
period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, the Company
will promptly notify Buyer of any event or occurrence of which the Company receives Knowledge, and that the Company believes would
have a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Companies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as set forth on Schedule
6.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedules, expressly contemplated by this Agreement, or any ancillary document, in connection with
the Permitted Equity Financing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the termination of any outstanding

this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Company will not, and Sellers and the Company will not cause any controlled Acquired
Company to, do any of the following, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any non-controlled Acquired Company not
to do any of the following, without the prior written or email consent of Buyer or the SPAC (not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed; provided that, Buyer or the SPAC may withhold consent if it reasonably determines that the action to be
taken or omitted would materially negatively affect the value of the Company or the value of the SPAC post-closing or would delay

by the Company to be obsolete); or (iii) as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement;

 

(d)       except
where Sellers reasonably believe that the Working Capital will not be materially less than the Working Capital Target, or except as otherwise

(e)       issue
any equity interests or rights thereto, except if required pursuant to existing Contracts or commitments;

similar working capital facilities of the Business.

(k)       enter
into any Related Party Transaction (other than transactions between or among controlled Acquired Companies);

understand and agree that, in each case except as expressly provided herein, (i) prior to Closing nothing contained in this Agreement
shall give Buyer, SPAC, or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operation of the Acquired Companies,
and (ii) prior to Closing, the Sellers and the Acquired Companies shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
complete control, discretion and supervision over their respective businesses and operations.

the Transaction and the Other Transactions, provide to the other Party for review a copy of any such press release or statement, and
not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the other Party’s consent, unless either Party
determines in good faith in consultation with such Party’s legal counsel that such disclosure is required under applicable Law
or any listing agreement with or rules and regulations of a stock exchange. This Section 6.3 will not restrict communications by the
SPAC, the Acquired Companies and its Affiliates that do not relate to the Transaction or the Other Transactions.

 

6.4.       Access.

 

(a)       During
the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, the
Acquired Companies will permit (or, with respect to non-controlled Acquired Subsidiaries, the Company will use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such Acquired Subsidiaries to permit) representatives of Buyer (including legal counsel and accountants)
to have, upon reasonable prior written notice, reasonable access during normal business hours and under reasonable circumstances,
and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of the Acquired Companies and so as to comply with any
then-applicable COVID-19 Measures, to the premises, personnel, books, records (including Tax Returns (but excluding income Tax
Returns of any federal consolidated (and state combined or unitary) group of which each Acquired Company is a member and limited
with respect to all other Tax Returns and correspondence with accountants to the portions of such Tax Returns and correspondence
with accountants that specifically relate to the Acquired Companies)), Material Contracts, and documents of or pertaining to the
Acquired Companies. Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives shall be permitted to perform environmental sampling, including
sampling of soil, groundwater, surface water, building materials, or air or wastewater emissions, with the prior written consent of
the Sellers’ Representative (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Neither Buyer, the SPAC
nor any of their respective Representatives will contact any employee, customer, supplier or landlord of any Acquired Company
without the prior written consent of such Acquired Company, and such Acquired Company shall have the right to have a Representative
participate in any such discussion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.4(a), the Acquired Companies and
Sellers will not be required to provide information that (i) would violate applicable Law, (ii) would violate confidentiality
obligations that the Acquired Companies or the Sellers have to third parties; provided that the Sellers’ Representative
shall give notice to Buyer of the fact that such documents or information are being withheld, thereafter shall use its reasonable
best efforts to obtain a waiver of such obligation from the third parties, and, until such waiver is obtained provide such documents
and information to the fullest extent permissible without violating such obligations, (iii) relates to the sale process of the
Acquired Companies, bids received from other Persons in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
information and analysis relating to such bids, or (iv) constitutes information protected by the attorney/client and/or attorney
work product privilege. Buyer will comply with, and will cause its Representatives to comply with, all of its obligations under the
confidentiality agreement previously signed with respect to the Transaction (the “Confidentiality Agreement”),
between the Company and the SPAC with respect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction and the Acquired
Companies’ information disclosed pursuant to this Section 6.4(a), which agreement will remain in full force and effect until
the Closing Date and survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

reasonable access during normal business hours and under reasonable circumstances, and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal
business operations of SPAC and its Affiliates and so as to comply with any then-applicable COVID-19 Measures, to the premises, personnel,
books, records, contracts, and documents of or pertaining to SPAC, Buyer and Merger Sub. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 6.4(b), SPAC, Buyer and Merger Sub will not be required to provide information that (i) would violate applicable Law, (ii) would
violate confidentiality obligations that SPAC, Buyer, or Merger Sub have to third parties; provided that SPAC shall give notice
to the Sellers’ Representative of the fact that such documents or information are being withheld and thereafter shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such documents or information, as applicable, to be made available in a manner that would not cause such a
violation, or (iii) constitutes information protected by the attorney/client and/or attorney work product privilege. The Company will
comply with, and will cause its Representatives to comply with, all of its obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement with respect
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction and the information disclosed by SPAC, Buyer, and Merger Sub pursuant
to this Section 6.4(b), which agreement will remain in full force and effect until the Closing Date and survive any termination of this
Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

 

6.5.       Notification
of Certain Matters. During the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or
the Closing Date, except as prohibited by applicable Law, each Party will give prompt notice to the other Parties: of (a) the occurrence
or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be likely to cause any representation or warranty of such
Party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Closing such that the conditions
set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a) would not be satisfied; and (b) any material failure of such Party to comply with or satisfy
any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such Party hereunder such that the conditions set forth in Section
7.2(b) or Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied.

 

6.6.       No
Solicitation.

 

(a)       During
the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, Sellers
will not, nor will they authorize or permit any Acquired Company to (or, with respect to non-controlled Acquired Subsidiaries,
Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Acquired Subsidiaries not to), nor will they authorize or permit any
officer, director or employee of, or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative of, a Seller or any Acquired
Company (or, with respect to non-controlled Acquired Subsidiaries, Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Acquired
Subsidiaries not to so authorize or permit any such Persons), to knowingly or intentionally: (i) directly or indirectly solicit,
initiate or encourage the submission of, any Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into any agreement with respect to or consummate any
Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) directly or indirectly participate in any substantive discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish

NEO Exchange listing manual (as pertains to special purpose acquisition corporations), as the same was varied by the NEO Exchange, as
reflected in the Final IPO Prospectus. The Company will provide such assistance at its sole cost, as may be reasonably required in connection
with the preparation of the Prospectus, and Buyer and the SPAC agree that all information relating to the Company in the Prospectus, including
the financial statements referred to in Section 6.8(b), will be in form and content satisfactory to the Company and the SPAC, acting reasonably.

 

(b)       The

hereby: (i) consents to the inclusion of any such financial statements in the Prospectus, and (ii) agrees to obtain any necessary
consents from any of its auditors and any other advisors to the use of any financial or other expert information required to be
included in the Prospectus. The Company further agrees to provide such financial information and assistance at its sole cost, as may
be reasonably required in connection with any pre-filing or exemptive relief application in respect of disclosure in the Prospectus
and in connection with the preparation of any pro-forma financial statements for inclusion in the Prospectus. The Sellers will
certify to the SPAC that all information and statements related to the Acquired Companies will be at the date the information and
statements are provided, and will be at the proposed date of filing of the preliminary and final Prospectus, true and correct,
contain no misrepresentation and constitute full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the Acquired Companies
as required by applicable SPAC Securities Laws and no material fact or information will have been omitted from such disclosure which
is required to be stated in such disclosure or is necessary to make the statements or information contained in such disclosure not
misleading in light of the circumstances under which they are made.

 

    - 74 - 

     

    

 

(c)       Buyer
and the SPAC will use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain approval of the NEO Exchange and a receipt for the SPAC’s
final Prospectus from the SPAC Securities Authorities, including providing or submitting on a timely basis all documentation and information
that is reasonably required or advisable in connection with obtaining such approvals.

 

(d)       Buyer
and the SPAC will jointly seek to ensure that the Prospectus complies in all material respects with applicable Law and does not contain
any misrepresentation (except that the SPAC and the Buyer will not be responsible for any information or financial statements relating
to the Acquired Companies). If any Party becomes aware of any information that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the
Prospectus, then (i) such Party shall promptly inform the other Parties thereof, (ii) the Parties shall prepare and mutually agree (such
agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) upon an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to the extent required
by Law; and (iii) Buyer and SPAC shall file such mutually agreed upon amendment or supplement with the NEO Exchange and the Ontario Securities

Prospectus and other related documents, and will give reasonable consideration to any comments made by the Company and its auditors and
legal counsel, and will, subject to obtaining the NEO Exchange and the SPAC Securities Authorities clearance, cause the Prospectus to

upon obtaining clearance from the NEO Exchange and the SPAC Securities Authorities, convene and conduct the SPAC Meetings in accordance
with the SPAC’s constitutive documents and applicable Law for the purpose of considering the SPAC Resolution and, if applicable,
the Warrant Amendment Resolution and for any other proper purpose as may be set out in the SPAC Circular, including share capital structure

period of no longer than ten (10) days;

 

(b)       use
commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary (in its discretion or at the request of the Company) to obtain the SPAC

approval of the SPAC Resolution and against any resolution submitted by any SPAC Shareholder that is inconsistent with the SPAC Resolution;

SPAC Resolution and aggregate notices of redemption of the SPAC Class A Shares; and

 

(e)       not
change the record date for the SPAC Shareholders entitled to vote at the SPAC Shareholder Meeting in connection with any adjournment or

SPAC will, as promptly as reasonably practicable, prepare and complete, in consultation with the Company, the SPAC Circular together with
any other documents required by Law in connection with the SPAC Meetings, the Transaction and the Other Transactions, and the SPAC will,
subject to obtaining the NEO Exchange approval and receipts for its final Prospectus from the SPAC Securities Authorities, cause the SPAC
Circular and such other documents to be filed with the SPAC Securities Authorities and sent to each SPAC Shareholder, SPAC Warrantholder,
if applicable, and other Persons as required by applicable Law.

 

(b)       Buyer
and the SPAC will ensure that the SPAC Circular complies in all material respects with applicable Law, does not contain any misrepresentation
(except that Buyer and the SPAC will not be responsible for any information relating to the Acquired Companies, or their business and
affairs that is contained in the SPAC Circular) and provides the SPAC Shareholders with sufficient information to permit them to form
a reasoned judgment concerning the matters to be placed before the SPAC Meetings. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
SPAC Circular will include a statement that the SPAC Board has unanimously determined that the SPAC Resolution is in the best interests
of the SPAC and fair to the SPAC Shareholders and recommends that the SPAC Shareholders vote in favor of the SPAC Resolution (the “SPAC
Board Recommendation”) and will include a statement that the Sponsor and each director and senior officer of the SPAC will vote
all their SPAC Shares in favor of the SPAC Resolution, and against any resolution submitted by any SPAC Shareholder that is inconsistent
therewith, and will not be redeeming any of their SPAC Shares. Except if the Company suffers a Material Adverse Effect, the SPAC Board
shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw,
withhold, qualify or modify, the SPAC Board Recommendation for any reason. Buyer and the SPAC agree that their obligations to establish
a record date for, duly call, and give notice of the SPAC Shareholder Meeting for the purpose of seeking the SPAC Shareholder Approval
shall not be affected by any intervening event or circumstance.

(c)       The
SPAC will give the Company and its auditors and legal counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of the SPAC Circular
and other related documents, and will give reasonable consideration to any comments made by the Company and its auditors and their counsel,
and agrees that all information relating to the Company included in the SPAC Circular will be in a form and content satisfactory to the
Company, acting reasonably.

 

(d)       The
Company will provide to the SPAC in writing all necessary information concerning the Acquired Companies that is required by applicable
Law to be included by the SPAC in the SPAC Circular or other related documents, use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain any necessary
consents from any of its auditors and any other advisors to the use of any financial, technical or other expert information required to
be included in the SPAC Circular and to the identification in the SPAC Circular of each such advisor, and will ensure that such information
does not contain any misrepresentation concerning the Acquired Companies.

 

(e)       Each
Party will promptly notify the other Party if it becomes aware that the SPAC Circular contains a misrepresentation or otherwise requires
an amendment or supplement. The Parties will cooperate in the preparation of any such amendment or supplement as required or appropriate,
and the SPAC will promptly mail, file or otherwise publicly disseminate any such amendment or supplement as required or appropriate to
the SPAC Shareholders and, if required by Law, file the same with the SPAC Securities Authorities or any other Governmental Authority
as required.

 

6.11.       Waiver of Access
to Escrow Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers and the Company hereby irrevocably waive and
release, and upon written request by Buyer or the SPAC at any time, will cause any controlled related party or Affiliate, and will use
reasonable best efforts to cause any other related party or Affiliate, of Sellers and the Company, to waive and release, on substantially
similar terms, any and all right, title, interest, causes of action and claims of any kind, whether in tort or contract or otherwise (each,
a “Claim”), in or to, and any and all right to seek payment of any amounts due to it in connection with the Transaction
or this Agreement: (a) out of, the Escrow Account; or (b) from monies or other assets released from the Escrow Account that are payable
to the SPAC Shareholders or the IPO Underwriter, and hereby irrevocably waive and release any Claim they may have in the future, as a
result of, or arising out of, this Agreement or the Transaction, which Claim would reduce, encumber or otherwise adversely affect: (i)
the Escrow Account, (ii) any monies or other assets in the Escrow Account or (iii) monies or other assets released from the Escrow Account
that are payable to the SPAC Shareholders or the IPO Underwriter, and further agree not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction
of any Claim against the Escrow Account, any monies or other assets in the Escrow Account, or monies or other assets released from the
Escrow Account that are payable to the SPAC Shareholders or the IPO Underwriter, for any reason whatsoever or to bring any proceedings
against the Escrow Account, Buyer, the SPAC, the IPO Underwriter, the Escrow Agent or any other Person in connection therewith. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the rights of the Sellers or the Company to pursue a claim against SPAC
or any of its Affiliates for legal relief against assets held outside the Escrow Account. The Parties will use their reasonable best efforts
to obtain a waiver and release, in form and substance the same as, or substantially similar to, this Section 6.11, from each party to
any Other Transaction.

contemplated by the Subscription Agreements at the time contemplated thereby; (iv) deliver notices to counterparties to the
Subscription Agreements at least five Business Days prior to the Closing to cause them to fund their obligations at least three

PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements in accordance with their terms. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Buyer and the SPAC shall give the Company prompt (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day) written notice: (A)
of any request from a PIPE Investor for any material amendment to its Subscription Agreement (other than as a result of any
assignments or transfers contemplated therein or otherwise permitted thereby); (B) of any material breach or default (or any event
or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could give rise to any material breach or default) by any PIPE
Investor under its Subscription Agreement, to the extent known by Buyer or the SPAC; and (C) of the receipt of any written notice
from any party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, potential, threatened or claimed expiration, lapse,
withdrawal, material breach or default, termination or repudiation by any PIPE Investor under its Subscription Agreement. Buyer and
the SPAC shall deliver all notices they are required to deliver under the Subscription Agreements on a timely basis in order to
cause the PIPE Investors to consummate the PIPE Investment concurrently with the Closing. The Company Founders and the Sellers shall
have protection from any dilution caused by discounted shares (below a value of $10.00 each payable to the SPAC) being issued as
part of the PIPE Investment. No additional SPAC Warrants shall be issued to the Sponsor, the SPAC Founders, or the Company
Shareholders in connection with the PIPE Investment.

on the other hand, will be entitled to jointly direct the antitrust defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or negotiations
with, any Governmental Authority or other third party relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or regulatory filings
under applicable competition Law, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.15. Each Party will use their reasonable best efforts to
provide full and effective support of the other Parties in all material respects in all such negotiations and other discussions or actions
to the extent requested. No Party will make any offer, acceptance or counter-offer to or otherwise engage in negotiations or discussions
with any Governmental Authority with respect to any proposed settlement, consent decree, commitment or remedy, or, in the event of litigation,
discovery, admissibility of evidence, timing or scheduling, except as specifically agreed between Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.
Buyer will be responsible for all filing fees in connection with any filings made under the HSR Act pursuant to this Section 6.15. No
Party will commit to or agree with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act
or applicable competition Law, without the prior written consent of the other Parties. If any request for additional information and documents,
including a “second request” under the HSR Act, is received from any Governmental Authority then the Parties will use commercially
reasonable efforts to substantially comply with any such request at the earliest practicable date.

 

    - 79 -

limiting the generality of the Parties’ undertakings pursuant to subsection (a) above, each of the Parties will use reasonable best

(i)       respond
as promptly as practicable to any inquiries by any Governmental Authority regarding antitrust or other matters with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any ancillary document;

 

(ii)       avoid
the imposition of any order or the taking of any action that would restrain, alter or enjoin the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or any ancillary document; and

 

(iii)       in
the event any Order adversely affecting the ability of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
ancillary document has been issued, to have such Order vacated or lifted, including by pursuing all available avenues of administrative
and judicial appeal, unless, by mutual agreement, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative decide that litigation is not in their respective
best interests.

 

(c)       All
analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf

that the Parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with
any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals. Each Party

attendance or participation is permitted by the Governmental Authority).

the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will require, or be construed to require, Buyer, the SPAC, the Acquired Companies or any of their
respective Affiliates to agree to: (i) sell, hold, divest, discontinue or limit, before or after the Closing Date, any assets, businesses

this Agreement and is not otherwise related to a breach of an interim covenant of the Company or any Seller set forth in Section 6.2 of
this Agreement (“Post-Signing Matters”) shall be deemed to be part of the Company Disclosure Schedules; provided,
however, that if the Post-Signing Matters (as reasonably determined by the Buyer, the Company and the Sellers’ Representative)

option and election: (A) to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(c) (and such termination shall have the effects set
forth in Section 8.3), or (B) if the Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (A)
and the Closing occurs, to seek indemnification for such Post-Signing Matters pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i)(1) or 9.1(b)(ii)(1), as applicable;
provided that if the Losses associated with Post-Signing Matters do not exceed US $1,000,000 in the aggregate and the Closing occurs,
then such Post-Signing Matters shall be deemed to have become part of the Company Disclosure Schedules and shall qualify all of the representations
and warranties set forth herein for all purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation as it relates to indemnification claims.

speak as of another date, in which case such representations and warranties will be true and correct as of such date), except where the

as of the Closing Date, as if made as of such time (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly speak as of

Company to Conduct Business), Section 4.2 (Power and Authority; Binding Effect), Section 4.3 (Equity Information), Section 4.4(a)

Representations and the Tax Representations, the “Seller Excluded Representations”) will survive the Closing for

accordance with Section 9.1(e) prior to the above-referenced applicable expiration date or applicable expiration date referenced in
Section 9.1(a)(ii), as applicable, to the Party against whom such indemnification is sought will survive thereafter and, solely as
to any such claim, such expiration, if any, will not affect the rights to indemnification under this Article 9 of the Party making
such claim. Any claim made by Buyer or the SPAC based on Fraud in the giving of such representations and warranties will survive
indefinitely. All of the representations and warranties of Sellers or the Company contained in this Agreement will in no respect be

their Representatives. All covenants and agreements made by Sellers or the Company contained in this Agreement shall terminate and
expire upon the occurrence of the Closing and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof; provided that

performed or discharged.

 

(ii)     All
representations and warranties of Buyer, Merger Sub and the SPAC contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing Date for the
duration of the applicable Representation Survival Period; except that the representations and warranties in Section 5.1

for a breached representation or warranty of Buyer, Merger Sub or the SPAC contained in this Agreement must be initiated prior to
the above-referenced applicable expiration date. Any claim made by Sellers based on Fraud in the giving of such representations and
warranties will survive indefinitely. All of the representations and warranties of Buyer, Merger Sub and the SPAC contained in this
Agreement will in no respect be limited or diminished by any past or future inspection, investigation, examination or possession on
the part of Sellers or their Representatives. All covenants and agreements made by Buyer, Merger Sub and the SPAC contained in this
Agreement shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect
thereof; provided that any covenant or agreement made by Buyer and the SPAC contained in this Agreement which by its nature
requires performance following the Closing (including the indemnification obligations of Buyer, Merger Sub and the SPAC set forth in
this Section 9.1) will survive the Closing Date until fully performed or discharged.

harmless the Sponsor and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, owners and employees (which are each designated third
party beneficiaries of this subsection (iii)), from, against and in respect of any liability, payment or obligation in respect of any
Taxes owing by any of them resulting from any restructuring of any of the Acquired Companies completed prior to the Closing.

relates to the period following the Closing;

 

(iii)     [Redacted

on Indemnifications.

 

(i)       For
purposes of this Section, the term “Threshold” means a dollar amount equal to US $3,000,000.

 

(ii)      With
respect to any Losses related to a breach of representation and warranty of the Sellers or the Company which are otherwise
indemnifiable pursuant to this Section 9.1, (A) Sellers will have liability for such Losses only if the aggregate amount of all
Losses exceeds the Threshold, in which case Sellers will indemnify Buyer, Merger Sub, the SPAC and their related indemnitees for all
such Losses in excess of the Threshold, (B) in no event will the aggregate liability of an individual Seller for all Losses
resulting from breaches of such Seller’s Seller Individual Representations and the representations and warranties of the

(e)       Notification
of Claims. In the event that any Party entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”)
proposes to make any claim for such indemnification, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying
Party”), which delivery will be made promptly following becoming aware of the matter giving rise to such claim, and in any
event on or prior to the expiration of the applicable survival date pursuant to Section 9.1(a) hereof, a signed certificate, which certificate
will (i) state that Losses have been incurred or that a claim has been made for which Losses may be incurred, (ii) specify the sections
of this Agreement under which such claim is made and (iii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss or other claim including
the amount thereof and the date such Loss was incurred; provided, however, that the failure to give such prompt notice
will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder if the Indemnifying Party has not been prejudiced thereby. In addition,
each Indemnified Party will give notice to the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days of its receipt of service of any suit or proceeding
initiated by a third party which pertains to a matter for which indemnification may be sought (a “Third Party Claim”);
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder
if the Indemnifying Party has not been prejudiced thereby.

 

    - 93 -

     

    

 

(f)       Defense
of Third Party Claims and Extension of Statute of Limitations. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified
Party against any Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its sole cost and expense, and will notify the Indemnified Party promptly
(and in any event within fifteen (15) days after notice of such Third Party Claim) with respect to whether or not it is exercising its
right to defend such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of
a Third Party Claim if (x) such matter is criminal in nature or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief or (y) where Buyer or its
related indemnitees are the Indemnified Party, the third party claimant is a then-current material customer of such Indemnified Party.
Prior to the time the Indemnified Party is notified by the Indemnifying Party as to whether the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense
of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall take all actions reasonably necessary to timely preserve the collective rights
of the parties with respect to such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim,
the Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided,
however, that the Indemnifying Party will not settle or compromise such Third Party Claim, nor agree to extend any statute
of limitations applicable to such Third Party Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld; provided further that if the Indemnified Party does not consent to any such compromise or settlement,
the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim shall in no
event exceed the amount of the settlement offer to which the Indemnified Party withheld its consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
consent shall not be required if (i) the settlement agreement contains a complete and unconditional general release by the third party
asserting the Third Party Claim to all Indemnified Parties affected by the Third Party Claim and (ii) the settlement agreement does not
contain any material sanction or restriction upon the conduct or operation of any business conducted by the Indemnified Party or its
Affiliates. Any Indemnified Party will in good faith cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in defending against any claims or asserted
claims with respect to which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement. If requested by the Indemnifying Party,
the Indemnified Party will join in any action, litigation, arbitration or proceeding, provided that the Indemnified Party will
pay its own costs caused by such joinder. If the Indemnifying Party fails to exercise its right to defend a Third Party Claim (or is
not entitled to defend such claim pursuant to the foregoing), the Indemnified Party shall diligently defend such Third Party Claim; provided
that the Indemnified Party will not settle or compromise any claim or asserted claim, nor agree to extend any statute of limitations
applicable to any claim or asserted claim, which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement, without the prior
written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Indemnifying Party
shall assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party with all reasonably available
information, assistance, and authority to enable the Indemnifying Party defend and/or settle such Third Party Claim, and upon the Indemnifying
Party’s payment of any amounts due with respect to such Proceeding, the Indemnified Party will, to the extent of such payment,
assign or cause to be assigned to the Indemnifying Party the claims of the Indemnified Party, if any, against such third parties with
respect to which such payment is made.

 

    - 94 -

     

    

 

(g)      In
the event of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement for which an Indemnified Party has provided notice of such claim to an Indemnifying
Party under this Section 9.1 (but excluding any Third Party Claim) and the Indemnifying Party receiving such notice disputes all or any
part of such claim, then Buyer and Sellers’ Representative will first attempt to resolve such claim through direct negotiations
in good faith. No settlement reached in such negotiations under this Section 9.1(g) will be binding until reduced to a writing signed
by the applicable parties. If the dispute is not resolved within twenty (20) Business Days after the date of delivery of such claim, then
such dispute will be resolved in accordance with Section 10.4. Nothing in this Section 9.1(g) will prevent any Party from seeking injunctive
relief in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(h)      Other
Indemnification Matters.

 

(i)       All
indemnification payments made pursuant to this Section 9.1 will be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration unless otherwise
required by applicable Law.

 

(ii)      The
Indemnified Party will take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses for which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification
hereunder.

 

(iii)     The
amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under this Section 9.1 will be calculated net of any insurance proceeds received and any
other payments from third parties received (reduced by any costs or expenses incurred in collection of such amounts by the Indemnified
Party (or any of its Affiliates)) by the Indemnified Party on account of such Losses. In the event that an insurance or other recovery
is received by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund
equal to the amount of the recovery (reduced by any costs or expenses incurred in collection of such amounts by the Indemnified Party
(or any of its Affiliates)) will be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party that made or directed such indemnification payments to such
Indemnified Party.

 

(iv)     Except:
(A) with respect to claims based upon Fraud; (B) for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Law; (C) injunctive and provisional
relief in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (D) the dispute resolution mechanisms set forth in the Exchange Rights Agreement,
Lockup Agreements, the Coattail Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement with respect to claims
arising thereunder; and (E) the dispute resolution mechanisms set forth in Section 2.17, if the Closing occurs, this Section 9.1 will
be the sole and exclusive remedy for breach of, inaccuracy in, or failure to comply with, any representation, warranty, or covenant contained
in this Agreement, or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

    - 95 -

     

    

 

(v)      No
Seller will have any liability for any Losses to the extent that an allowance, provision or reserve covering such Losses is included in
the final calculation of the Closing Merger Consideration as determined pursuant to Section 2.18. Any indemnification provided pursuant
to this Section 9.1 shall be so applied as to avoid any double counting and no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to obtain indemnification
more than once for the same matter or Losses.

 

(vi)     In
the event of indemnification for Losses suffered or incurred by a non-wholly-owned Acquired Subsidiary, the amount of such Losses incurred
by such Acquired Subsidiary which are indemnifiable by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be calculated in a manner proportional
to the relative direct or indirect ownership interest of Buyer in such Acquired Subsidiary as of the date such Losses are suffered or
incurred (e.g., if a non-wholly-owned Acquired Subsidiary incurs Losses of $100,000 which are otherwise indemnifiable pursuant to this
Section 9.1 and Buyer’s direct or indirect ownership interest in such Acquired Subsidiary is 75% at the time such Losses are suffered
or incurred, the Losses of such Acquired Subsidiary which are indemnifiable pursuant to this Section 9.1 would be equal to $75,000).

 

(vii)    In
the event that Buyer and its related indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Losses pursuant to this Section 9.1, then, subject
to the applicable limitations set forth in this Section 9.1, Buyer and such indemnitees shall satisfy the amount of such Losses (i) first,
by offset against Buyer Exchangeable Shares (or, if previously exchanged, SPAC Subordinate Voting Shares) held by the respective Sellers
at the time of such offset (or, with respect to Non-Accredited Sellers, directly from such Non-Accredited Sellers on a several but not
joint basis), and (ii) thereafter, directly from the Sellers on a several but not joint basis. For purposes of the offset contemplated
by clause (i), (A) each Buyer Exchangeable Share shall be deemed to have a value equal to (x) the number of SPAC Subordinate Voting Shares
into which such Buyer Exchangeable Share is convertible as of the date that Buyer and its related indemnitees became entitled to indemnification
for the applicable Losses pursuant to this Section 9.1 multiplied by (y) the VWAP as of the date that Buyer and its related indemnitees
became entitled to indemnification for the applicable Losses pursuant to this Section 9.1, and (B) each SPAC Subordinate Voting Share
shall be valued at the VWAP as of the date that Buyer and its related indemnitees made a claim for indemnification for the applicable
Losses pursuant to this Section 9.1.

 

9.2.     Independence
of Covenants, Representations and Warranties. All covenants made in this Agreement will be given independent effect so that if a certain
action or condition constitutes a default under a certain covenant, the fact that such action or condition is permitted by another covenant
will not affect the occurrence of such default, unless expressly permitted under an exception to such initial covenant. In addition, except
as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all representations and warranties made in this Agreement will be given independent effect so
that if a particular representation or warranty proves to be incorrect or is breached, the fact that another representation or warranty
concerning the same or similar subject matter is correct or is not breached will not affect the incorrectness or a breach of such initial
representation or warranty.

 

    - 96 -

     

    

 

9.3.     Use
of Company Name or Trade Name. After the Closing, Sellers will not use or refer to the names “Glass House Farms”, “Glass
House” and “Glass House Group”, any trade name included within the Intellectual Property owned by the Acquired Companies,
or any derivative or variation thereof or any name similar thereto, except in the performance of any duties under any employment agreement
or consulting agreement entered into between a Company and Seller, if any.

 

9.4.     Confidentiality.
Sellers have had access to, and have gained knowledge with respect to the Business, including without limitation trade secrets, financial
results and information, processes and techniques, technical production and cost data, methods of doing business and information concerning
customers and suppliers, and other valuable and confidential information relating to the Business (the “Confidential Information”).
Sellers acknowledge that unauthorized disclosure or misuse of the Confidential Information, whether before or after the Closing, will
cause irreparable damage to the Acquired Companies and Buyer subsequent to the Closing. The Parties also agree that covenants by Sellers
not to make unauthorized disclosures of the Confidential Information are essential to the growth and stability of the business of the
Acquired Companies and Buyer. Accordingly, Sellers agree that, beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until the third anniversary
of the Closing Date, they will not use or disclose any Confidential Information obtained in the course of their past connection with the
Business, except in connection with such Sellers’ continuing ownership interest in Buyer and its Affiliates and/or in the performance
of any duties under any employment agreement or relationship, consulting agreement or relationship, or any other transaction documents
entered into with the Company, Buyer, the SPAC or any of their respective Affiliates, if any, and in accordance with that Person’s
policies regarding Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Seller may disclose the Confidential Information: (a)
to such Seller’s Affiliates and Representatives, so long as the receiving party is advised of the confidentiality provisions of
this Section 9.4 or subject to obligations of confidentiality in favor of such Seller with respect to information of the type constituted
by the Confidential Information so disclosed to such receiving party; (b) to the extent required by Law or legal process or any Governmental
Authority, or in connection with the defense or enforcement of such Seller’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or another
agreement with the Company, Buyer, the SPAC or any of their respective Affiliates; or (c) to the extent such Confidential Information
becomes publicly available through no breach of this Agreement or other fault of such Seller. If any Seller is requested or required by
Law or legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller will notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so
that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.4. If in the absence of
a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, such Seller is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential
Information to any Governmental Authority or else stand liable for contempt, such Seller may disclose such Confidential Information to
such Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the disclosing Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain at
the request and expense of Buyer, an Order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the
Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer may designate.

 

9.5.     Non-Competition.
Except as set forth on Schedule 9.5 of the Company Disclosure Schedules, Kyle Kazan, Graham Farrar, and Jocelyn Rosenwald (each,
a “Principal  Seller”) agrees that, beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until the third anniversary of the
Closing Date, such Principal Seller will not, directly or indirectly, for such Principal Seller’s own account or as agent, employee,
officer, director, trustee, consultant, member, partner, stockholder or equity owner of any corporation, limited liability company, or
any other entity (except for passive ownership of securities constituting less than five percent (5%) (calculated on a fully-diluted
basis) of the securities of a public or private company), or member of any firm or otherwise, engage or attempt to engage in the Restricted
Territory in the Business as conducted immediately prior to the Closing (including any products derived from hemp); provided that
this Section 9.5 shall not restrict or prohibit a Principal Seller from taking any actions or engaging in any activities in furtherance
of, or in connection with, such Principal Seller’s continuing ownership interest in Buyer and its Affiliates or the performance
of such Principal Seller’s duties as an employee or consultant of Buyer and its Affiliates.

 

    - 97 -

     

    

 

9.6.     Non-Solicitation.
Each Company Founder agrees that, beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, such Company
Founder will not, directly or indirectly, for such Company Founder’s own account or as agent, employee, officer, director, trustee,
consultant, member, partner, stockholder or equity owner of any corporation, limited liability company, or any other entity: (a) employ
or solicit the employment of any person who was employed by any Acquired Company at the Closing Date or at any time during the six-month
period preceding the Closing Date; (b) willfully dissuade or discourage any person or entity from using, employing or conducting business
with any Acquired Company; or (c) intentionally disrupt or interfere with, or seek to disrupt or interfere with, the business or contractual
relationship between any Acquired Company and any supplier, who during the six-month period preceding the Closing Date will have supplied
products or services to any Acquired Company; provided, that the restrictions in this Section 9.6 will not restrict (i) the ability
of any Company Founder or such Company Founder’s Affiliate to solicit generally in advertisements not specifically directed to employees,
customers, or suppliers of any Acquired Company, or (ii) any Company Founder or such Company Founder’s Affiliate from providing
services or products to any customer of any Acquired Company who independently seeks products or services without any prior solicitation.

 

9.7.     Equitable
Remedies/Reasonableness of Limitations. The Parties acknowledge that a remedy at law for failure to comply with the provisions of
this Agreement, including the covenants contained in Sections 9.4-9.6, may be inadequate and any Party will be entitled to seek and obtain
from a court having jurisdiction or from an arbitrator under Section 10.4, in its sole discretion, specific performance, an injunction,
a restraining order or any other equitable relief in order to enforce any such provision without the need to post a bond (or if a bond
is required by Law, a bond in the amount of $100 will be sufficient). The right to obtain such equitable relief will be in addition to
any other remedy to which a Party is entitled under applicable Law (including, but not limited to, monetary damages). Sellers and the
Company Founders represent and warrant that each Seller and Company Founder has had an opportunity to consult with counsel regarding
this Agreement, has fully and completely reviewed this Agreement with such counsel and fully understands the contents hereof. Sellers
and the Company Founders agree that the territorial, time and other limitations contained in this Agreement are reasonable and properly
required for the adequate protection of the business and affairs of Buyer, and in the event that any one or more of such territorial,
time or other limitations is found to be unreasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction, Sellers and the Company Founders agree to
submit to the reduction of said territorial, time or other limitations to such an area, period or otherwise as the court may determine
to be reasonable. In the event that any limitation under this Agreement is found to be unreasonable or otherwise invalid in any jurisdiction,
in whole or in part, Sellers and the Company Founders acknowledge and agree that such limitation will remain and be valid in all other
jurisdictions.

9.8.      Tax
Matters.

 

(a)       Sellers
will prepare or cause to be prepared and will file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies for all Tax periods
ending on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Periods”) and that are due after the Closing Date. Each
Tax Return referred to in this Section 9.8(a) will be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of each Acquired Company and
without a change of any election or accounting method (in each case except as otherwise required by applicable Law). Sellers’ Representative
will provide such Tax Returns to the Buyer, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for such Tax Returns (including any applicable
extensions). The Sellers’ Representative will cooperate with the Surviving Corporation in connection with the filing of such Tax
Returns.

 

(b)      Buyer
will prepare or cause to be prepared and will file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies that are required to
be filed after the Closing Date (i) with respect to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, other than those Tax Returns that are prepared (or caused
to be prepared) by the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.8(a), and (ii) with respect to any Straddle Period. Each Tax Return referred to in
this Section 9.8(b) will be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of each Acquired Company and without a change of any election
or accounting method (in each case except as otherwise required by applicable Law). At least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which
each such Tax Return is due (with applicable extensions), Buyer will submit such Tax Return to the Sellers’ Representative for review,
comment and approval. Sellers’ Representative will provide any written comments to Buyer no later than fifteen (15) days after receiving
any such Tax Return and, if Sellers’ Representative does not provide any written comments within fifteen (15) days, Sellers will
be deemed to have accepted such Tax Return. The Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to any such Tax
Return. If the Parties are unable to resolve any such dispute at least ten (10) days before the date (with applicable extensions) for
any such Tax Return, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative will jointly engage an Accounting Firm to promptly resolve such dispute (selected
as provided for in Section 2.17(c)). Buyer and Sellers will share equally the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm. If the Accounting
Firm is unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the due date (with applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return, such Tax Return
will be filed as prepared by Buyer subject to amendment, if necessary, to reflect the resolution of the dispute by the Accounting Firm.

 

(c)       For
purposes of this Section 9.8, the portion of Tax with respect to the income, property or operations of each Acquired Company that is
attributable to any Tax period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”)
will be apportioned between the period of the Straddle Period that extends before the Closing Date through the end of the Closing Date
(the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”) and the period of the Straddle Period that extends from the day after the Closing
Date to the end of the Straddle Period (the “Post-Closing Straddle Period”) in accordance with this Section 9.8(c).
The portion of such Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period will (i) in the case of any Taxes other than sales or use taxes,
value-added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during
a Straddle Period, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period, and
(ii) in the case of any sales or use taxes, value-added taxes, employment taxes, withholding taxes, and any Tax based on or measured
by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period
ended on and included the Closing Date. The portion of a Tax attributable to a Post-Closing Straddle Period will be calculated in a corresponding
manner.

 

    - 99 -

     

    

 

(d)       Except
to the extent reflected in Final Working Capital, Sellers will be liable for all Taxes owed with respect to any Tax Return for any Pre-Closing
Tax Period and, in the case of a Tax Return for a Straddle Period, all Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period. Sellers
will pay to Buyer within thirty (30) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion
of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle Period, such as the case may be.

 

(e)       To
the extent permitted by applicable Law, any Tax deductions with respect to any selling expenses, transaction costs or similar expenses
(including without limitation the Seller Transaction Expenses) will be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period or the Pre-Closing Straddle
Period.

 

(f)       Buyer,
the SPAC, Sellers and each Acquired Company will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Parties, in connection
with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 9.8 and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such
cooperation will include the retention and (upon another Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably
relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional
information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

 

(g)      Notwithstanding
Section 9.1, this Section 9.8(g) will control any inquiries, assessments, proceedings or similar events with respect to Taxes. The Buyer
will promptly notify the Sellers’ Representative: (i) upon receipt by the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer of any notice of
any audit or examination of any Tax Return of the Acquired Companies relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period and any
other proposed change or adjustment, claim, dispute, arbitration or litigation related to Taxes from any Tax Authority relating to any
Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period (a “Tax Matter”); or (ii) prior to the Buyer initiating any Tax Matter with
any Tax authority relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. The Sellers’ Representative may, at the Sellers’
expense, participate in and, upon mutual agreement with the Buyer, assume the defense of any such Tax Matter; provided that the
failure of Buyer to provide notices as required under this Section 9.8(g) will negate the Buyer’s right to indemnification under
this Section 9.8 and Section 10.3 with respect to Tax liabilities resulting from any such voluntary contact. If the Sellers’ Representative
assumes such defense, then the Sellers’ Representative will have the authority, with respect to any Tax Matter, to represent the
interests of Acquired Companies before the relevant Tax authority and the Sellers’ Representative will have the right to control
the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, subject to the limitations contained herein, including responding
to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other
adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter. If the Sellers’ Representative has assumed such defense, then the Sellers’
Representative will be entitled to defend and settle such Tax Matter; provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative
will not enter into any settlement of or otherwise resolve any such Tax Matter to the extent that it adversely affects the Tax liability
of the Buyer, any Acquired Company or any Affiliate of the foregoing for a post-Closing Tax period without the prior written consent
of the Buyer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Sellers’ Representative will keep the
Buyer reasonably informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Matter and will, in good faith, allow the
Buyer to consult with the Sellers’ Representative regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding. The Buyer
shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, solely at its own expense,
separate from the counsel employed by the Sellers’ Representative at Sellers’ expense. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 9.8(g), Buyer shall have the right, at its own expense, to exercise control at any time over any Tax Matter regarding any Tax
Return of any Acquired Company (including the right to settle or otherwise terminate any contest with respect thereto).

 

    - 100 -

     

    

 

(h)       Except
to the extent included in the calculation of the Merger Consideration, any refunds for Taxes (including any interest in respect thereof
actually received from a Taxing Authority), net of reasonable expenses, actually received by Buyer or the Acquired Companies and any amounts
credited against Taxes to which Buyer, Acquired Companies, or any of their Affiliates become entitled and that reduce the Taxes otherwise
payable by Buyer, Acquired Companies, or any of their Affiliates (including by way of any amended tax return), related to, or resulting
or arising, directly or indirectly from Taxes of Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall
be property of the Sellers; provided, however, that any such refunds or amounts credited shall be the property of Acquired
Companies and Buyer if such refunds are received or such amounts credited are actually utilized by Acquired Companies or Buyer outside
of any applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus thirty (30) days.

 

(i)        Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 9.8 will survive for the full period of all applicable statutes
of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus thirty (30) days.

 

(j)        The
Parties will prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and will not take any inconsistent position on
any Tax Return or during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, except as otherwise required by
a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Each of the Parties agrees to promptly notify all other Parties of
any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Authority.

 

(k)       No
Party shall take or cause to be taken any action, or fail to take or cause to be taken any action, which action or failure to act would
reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from so qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

9.9.         Releases.
In consideration of the Purchase Price paid to Sellers on the Closing Date and effective on the Closing Date, Sellers release and forever
discharge each Acquired Company, Buyer, Merger Sub, the SPAC and each of their respective individual, joint or mutual, past, present
and future directors, officers, representatives, Affiliates, stockholders, controlling persons, subsidiaries, successors and assigns
(individually, a “Releasee” and collectively, “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, proceedings,
causes of action, orders, obligations, contracts, agreements, debts and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, both at law and in equity, that Sellers now have, have ever had or may hereafter have against the Releasees to the extent
relating to the Acquired Companies and/or the Business and arising prior to the Closing or on account of or arising out of any matter,
cause or event occurring prior to the Closing; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 9.9 will operate
to release any obligations of or claims against the Releasees: (i) arising under this Agreement, any ancillary documents referenced in
this Agreement, or the Transaction; (ii) with respect to current claims for salaries, wages or benefits accrued but not paid as of the
Closing Date; (iii) relating to any other matter in connection with any relationship of a Seller with each Acquired Company, the SPAC
or Buyer (or any of their respective Affiliates) from and after the Closing; (iv) in the case of each Acquired Company, to indemnify
any Seller for serving as an officer, director, manager, agent or employee of any Acquired Company, or any of their respective Affiliates,
providing services on behalf of any Acquired Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, or serving as a trustee or fiduciary of
any Welfare Plan, to the extent such right to indemnification exists as a matter of Law or by contract (including, without limitation,
pursuant to any organizational or other governing documents of any Acquired Company (or any of their respective Affiliates)) existing
prior to the Closing Date; (v) for any acts of Fraud on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub or SPAC; or (vi) to the extent such claim cannot
be released as a matter of Law.

 

9.10.       The
SPAC Equity Incentive Plan. The SPAC will, immediately after the Closing, adopt an equity incentive plan, as approved by the SPAC
Board, to be used as a performance incentive for the SPAC’s and the Company’s management (the “SPAC Incentive Plan”).

 

9.11.       Indemnification
Rights of SPAC/Buyer in Other Transactions. The SPAC and Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce their indemnification
rights, if any, under the Other Transactions.

 

9.12.       Seller
Protective Provisions. If, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the expiry of the 12 month lock-up
period described in Section 2.14, either of Buyer and the SPAC, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or
otherwise, does any of the following acts listed below in this Section 9.12 without prior written consent of (i) the Sellers’
Representative, the lock-up periods described in Section 2.14 will immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect, or
(ii) without the prior written consent of the Sponsor, any lock-up applicable to SPAC Shares held by SPAC Founders will immediately
terminate and be of no further force or effect: (a) liquidation or winding up of the Surviving Corporation; (b) change of control of
the Surviving Corporation pursuant to a merger or similar business combination transaction (other than in pursuant to an internal
reorganization) or (c) sale of a majority (or greater) of the shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation or of all or
substantially all the consolidated assets of the Surviving Corporation (other than an internal reorganization).

9.13.       D&O
Indemnification and Insurance.

 

(a)          For
a period of six (6) years following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations
of the Acquired Companies to Persons who on or prior to the Effective Time were directors and/or officers of one or more Acquired Companies
(the “Company Indemnified Parties”) pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the organizational documents of
such Acquired Companies as in effect on the date hereof, and pursuant to the indemnification agreements between the Acquired Companies
and such Company Indemnified Parties set forth on Schedule 9.13(a) existing as of the date of this Agreement with respect to claims
arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.

 

(b)         For
a period of six years from the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause one or more of the Acquired Companies to, maintain in effect directors’
and officers’ liability insurance covering the Company Indemnified Parties on market standard terms; provided, however,
that (i) Buyer may cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance of Buyer or
the Acquired Companies, as the case may be, by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy containing terms not less favorable than
the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and (ii) if
any claim is asserted or made within such six-year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 9.13 shall be continued
in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

 

(c)          The
Company shall arrange for, and the SPAC shall maintain in effect at all times, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
covering the directors and officers of the SPAC, the Buyer and the Acquired Companies on market standard terms not less favorable than
the terms of such current insurance coverage for the Acquired Companies, with such insurance to be effective upon Closing.

 

(d)         Sections
9.13(a) and (b) are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives
and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer and the Acquired Companies.

 

9.14.      SPAC
Board of Directors and Officers. The Sellers agree to vote any shares in the capital of the SPAC they own to set the Board of Directors
of the SPAC at eight (8) members of which (a) the Sponsor will, for as long as it holds at least 50% of the SPAC Shares it owned at Closing
(not including any forfeited shares), put forward one nominee, represented initially by Robert J. Mendola, (b) the Sellers will put forward
four (4) nominees, initially represented by Kyle Kazan, Graham Farrar, and two independent (for audit committee purposes within the meaning

consent of the SPAC Founders, Mr. Kazan and Mr. Farrar, initially represented by Hector De La Torre and George Raveling with all of such

or scope of this agreement to arbitrate but excluding those disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section

or its enforcement; (iv) in connection with an appeal of the arbitration award, as permitted under this Agreement, or its confirmation,
entering, docketing or enforcement; (v) to comply with applicable Law or judicial decision, or (vi) to comply with any applicable stock
exchange rules, including the NEO Exchange. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Parties must commence and pursue arbitration to
resolve all disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement prior to commencement of any legal action.

 

(c)         This
Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the choice of substantive law under this Agreement,
the Federal Arbitration Act will apply to the arbitration of all disputes, including the breach of this Agreement and any alleged
pre-contractual representations or conduct, violations of the Racketeering Influenced or Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO),
applicable federal or state securities Law, unfair trade practice Law, or similar Law.

 

    - 105 -

     

    

 

(d)         If
it is determined that the requirement to arbitrate is unenforceable, and after any and all final appeals the decision is upheld, the Parties
agree to litigate in any state court in Los Angeles, California, and these courts will have exclusive jurisdiction to entertain any proceeding
in respect of this Agreement, and the Parties will submit to the jurisdiction of such courts in all matters relating to or arising out
of this Agreement. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED
AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTION. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (ii) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, AND (iii)
SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY.

 

(e)         Any
arbitration award will have a binding effect only on the actual dispute arbitrated, and will not have any collateral effect on any other
dispute whatsoever, whether in arbitration, litigation or other dispute resolution proceeding. Sellers and the Company (if the Transaction
does not close) will not consolidate their dispute in any arbitration or litigation with a claim by any other Person.

 

(f)          If
a Party (i) commences action in any court, except to compel arbitration, or except as specifically permitted under this Agreement, prior
to an arbitrator’s final decision, or (ii) commences any arbitration or litigation in any forum except where permitted under this
Agreement, then that Party is in default of this Agreement. The defaulting Party must commence arbitration (or litigation, if permitted
under this Agreement), in a permitted forum prior to any award or final judgment. The defaulting Party will be responsible for all expenses
incurred by the other Party as a result of this default, including legal fees.

 

(g)         The
Parties adopt and will implement the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures (as it exists on the effective date of this Agreement)
with respect to a final award in an arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement, if that award requires the payment of monetary
damages in excess of US $16,250,000 (with this dollar value to be indexed from the date of this Agreement based on the annual rate of
inflation in the United States). The JAMS appeal panel will determine whether such appeal threshold has been met. If the appeal panel
consists of three members, the Chair will be a retired judge from a federal court located in the State of California and one member will
be a lawyer admitted to practice in the State of California with at least 25 years’ active legal practice based in the State of
California. Judgment on any revised award may be confirmed, entered and docketed in any court having jurisdiction. The same confidentiality provisions that apply
to the Parties with respect to the original arbitration will apply to the appeal.

 

    - 106 -

     

    

 

(h)          If
JAMS is no longer in business, an alternative administrative arbitration agency will be selected by mutual agreement of the Parties. If
they cannot agree, the Parties will apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to select the agency. In the event of any conflict between
the rules and procedures of JAMS or an alternate administrative arbitration agency and the provisions of this Section, the provisions
of this Section will prevail.

 

10.5.       Expenses.
Except to the extent reflected in the Working Capital or the calculation of the Closing Merger Consideration at Closing, and as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, Sellers will pay all legal, accounting and other expenses of Sellers and the Acquired Companies (incurred
prior to Closing) incident to this Agreement and Buyer will pay all legal, accounting and other expenses of Buyer, SPAC, Merger Sub and
the Acquired Companies (first incurred after the Closing) incident to this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
nothing contained in this Agreement will be interpreted or construed to require Buyer to directly or indirectly pay, assume or be liable
for any of the foregoing expenses of the Acquired Companies or Sellers.

 

10.6.       Titles.
The headings of the articles and sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, and will not affect the meaning
or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

10.7.       Waiver.
No failure of any Party to require, and no delay by any Party in requiring, any other Party to comply with any provision of this Agreement
will constitute a waiver of the right to require such compliance. No failure of any Party to exercise, and no delay by any Party in exercising,
any right or remedy under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of such right or remedy. No waiver by any Party of any right or remedy
under this Agreement will be effective unless made in writing. Any waiver by any Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement will
be limited to the specific instance and will not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy in the future.

 

10.8.       Effective;
Binding. This Agreement will be effective upon the due execution hereof by each Party. Upon becoming effective, this Agreement will
be binding upon each Party and upon each successor and assignee of each Party and will inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
each Party and each successor and assignee of each Party; provided, however, that, except as provided for in the immediately following
sentence, no Party may assign any right or obligation arising pursuant to this Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of
the other Parties. Buyer may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Affiliates of Buyer
upon prior written notice to Sellers’ Representative, provided that Buyer will remain liable hereunder notwithstanding any
such assignment.

 

10.9.       Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, together with the ancillary documents referenced herein, contains the entire agreement between the
Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes each course of conduct previously pursued, accepted or
acquiesced in, and each written or oral agreement and representation previously made, by the Parties with respect to the subject
matter of this Agreement.

 

    - 107 -

     

    

 

10.10.      Modification.
No course of performance or other conduct hereafter pursued, accepted or acquiesced in, and no oral agreement or representation made
in the future, by any Party, whether or not relied or acted upon, and no usage of trade, whether or not relied or acted upon, will modify
or terminate this Agreement, impair or otherwise affect any obligation of any Party pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise operate as
a waiver of any such right or remedy. No modification of this Agreement or waiver of any such right or remedy will be effective unless
made in writing duly executed by the Parties.

 

10.11.      Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which taken together
will constitute one and the same instrument. Any Party may execute this Agreement by facsimile (or other means of electronic transmission,
such as by electronic mail in “.pdf” form) signature and the other Party will be entitled to rely on such facsimile (or other
means of electronic transmission) signature as evidence that this Agreement has been duly executed by such Party. Any Party executing
this Agreement by facsimile (or other means of electronic transmission) signature will immediately forward to the other Party an original
signature page by overnight mail.

 

10.12.     Sellers’
Representative.

 

(a)          From
and after the date hereof, Sellers’ Representative will act as the representative of Sellers, and will be authorized to act on behalf
of Sellers and to take any and all actions required or permitted to be taken by Sellers under this Agreement and any other transaction
document in connection with the Agreement, including, without limitation, any actions with respect to: (i) any claims for indemnification
pursuant to Article 9; (ii) any amendments to this Agreement; and (iii) any other actions to be taken by Sellers’ Representative
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other transaction document in connection with the Agreement. The execution of this Agreement
by Sellers (including pursuant to execution of the Letter of Transmittal) will constitute approval of the appointment of Sellers’
Representative and all actions of Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement and any other transaction document in connection
with the Agreement. In all matters relating to Article 9 and where Sellers’ obligations are joint and several, Sellers’ Representative
will be the only Party entitled to assert the rights of Sellers.

 

(b)         Sellers
will be bound by all actions or inactions taken by Sellers’ Representative in his, her or its capacity thereof. Sellers’ Representative
will, at all times, act in his, her or its capacity as Sellers’ Representative in a manner that Sellers’ Representative reasonably
believes to be in the best interest of Sellers. Neither Sellers’ Representative nor any of its directors, managers, officers, agents
or employees, if any, will be liable to any Seller for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken under
this Agreement or any other transaction document in connection with this Agreement, except in the case of its bad faith, Fraud, or willful
misconduct. Sellers’ Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by
it, the reasonable fees and expenses of which advisors will be paid by Sellers.

 

    - 108 -

     

    

 

(c)          Sellers,
jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse Sellers’ Representative from and against any and all Losses
suffered or incurred by Sellers’ Representative arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by Sellers’
Representative under this Agreement or any other transaction document in connection with this Agreement, other than such Losses arising
out of or resulting from Sellers’ Representative’s bad faith, Fraud, or willful misconduct.

 

(d)         Each
Seller hereby agrees to the following:

 

(i)       In
all matters in which action by a Seller and/or Sellers’ Representative is required or permitted, Sellers’ Representative is
authorized to act on behalf of such Seller, notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among Sellers or between any Seller and Sellers’
Representative, and Buyer, Merger Sub the SPAC and their Affiliates and representatives will be entitled to rely on any and all action
taken by Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement or any other transaction document in connection with this Agreement, without
any liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any Seller, notwithstanding any knowledge on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub the SPAC or
their Affiliates or representatives of any such dispute or disagreement.

 

(ii)       Delivery
of all documents, agreements, disclosure schedules and other information required to be delivered to Sellers under this Agreement may
be made to Sellers’ Representative on behalf of Sellers and upon delivery to Sellers’ Representative will be deemed delivered
to all Sellers for purposes of this Agreement.

 

(iii)       Notice
to Sellers’ Representative, delivered in the manner provided in Section 10.2, will be deemed to be notice to all Sellers for purposes
of this Agreement.

 

(iv)       The
power and authority of Sellers’ Representative, as described in this Agreement, will continue in force until all rights and obligations
of Sellers under this Agreement or any other transaction document in connection with the Agreement have terminated, expired or been fully
performed.

 

(v)       A
majority-in-interest of Sellers (based on their Pro Rata Shares) will have the right, exercisable from time to time upon written notice
delivered to Sellers’ Representative, Buyer and the SPAC, to appoint a Person (or, in the case of a Seller that is a corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or trust, an officer, manager, employee or partner of such Seller) to fill a vacancy caused by
the death, or resignation of Sellers’ Representative.

 

10.13.     Claims
Relating to Other Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including for greater certainty
Sections 4.31, 5.12, 6.8 and 6.10), Sellers and the Acquired Companies will not be able to instigate or pursue or claim any damages or
remedies against the SPAC, Merger Sub or Buyer, whether hereunder or otherwise, for misrepresentations (including omissions) in the Prospectus
(preliminary or final) that are related to the Other Transactions.

 

10.14.     Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable
(other than under Federal Cannabis Laws), then the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other
Persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree
to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the
extent possible, the economic, business, and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.

 

    - 109 -

     

    

 

10.15.       Retention
of Counsel.

 

(a)       Each
of the Parties acknowledges that Venable LLP (“Sellers’ Counsel”) currently serves as counsel to both the Acquired
Companies and the Sellers in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation
of the Transaction. There may come a time, including after consummation of the Transaction, when the interests of the Sellers, on the
one hand, and the Acquired Companies, on the other hand, may no longer be aligned or when, for any reason, the Sellers, Sellers’
Counsel or any of the Acquired Companies believes that Sellers’ Counsel can or should no longer represent both the Sellers and the
Acquired Companies. The parties understand and specifically agree that Sellers’ Counsel may withdraw from representing the Acquired
Companies and continue to represent the Sellers, even if the interests of the Sellers and the interests of the Acquired Companies are
or may be adverse, including in connection with any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transaction, and even
though Venable may have represented the Acquired Companies in a matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing
matters for the Acquired Companies or any of their Affiliates, and Buyer hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising
therefrom. Buyer, for itself and its Affiliates (including Acquired Companies), and for their respective successors and assigns, irrevocably
acknowledges and agrees that all communications between the Sellers, on the one hand, and counsel, on the other hand, including, without
limitation, Sellers’ Counsel, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any
dispute or Proceeding arising under or in connection with, this Agreement which, immediately prior to the Closing, would be deemed to
be privileged communications of the Sellers and/or any of the Acquired Companies and their counsel and would not be subject to disclosure
to Buyer in connection with any process relating to a dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise, shall continue
after the Closing to be privileged communications between the Sellers and such counsel and neither Buyer nor any Person acting or purporting
to act on behalf of or through Buyer shall seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege attaching to such
communications belongs to the Acquired Companies and not the Sellers. Buyer and the Acquired Companies agree that any attorney-client
privilege, attorney work-product protection, and expectation of client confidence arising from or as a result of counsel’s representation
of an Acquired Company or Seller prior to the Closing, and all information and documents covered by such privilege or protection, shall
belong to and be controlled by the Sellers and may be waived only by the Sellers, and not an Acquired Company, and shall not pass to or
be claimed or used by Buyer or any Acquired Company, except with respect to the assertion of such privilege or protection against a third
party.

 

    - 110 -

     

    

 

(b)       Each
of the Parties acknowledges that Hodgson Russ LLP and Stikeman Elliott LLP (each “Buyer’s Counsel”)
currently serves as counsel to both the Buyer and the SPAC in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction. Sellers, for themselves and their Affiliates (including Acquired
Companies), and for their respective successors and assigns, irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between the
Buyer and the SPAC, on the one hand, and counsel, on the other hand, including, without limitation, Buyer’s Counsel, made in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute or Proceeding arising under or
in connection with, this Agreement which, immediately prior to the Closing, would be deemed to be privileged communications of the
Buyer and the SPAC and their counsel and would not be subject to disclosure to Sellers in connection with any process relating to a
dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise, shall continue after the Closing to be privileged
communications between the Buyer and the SPAC and such counsel and neither Sellers nor any Person acting or purporting to act on
behalf of or through the Sellers shall seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege attaching to such
communications belongs to the Sellers or the Acquired Companies and not the Buyer or the SPAC. Sellers and the Acquired Companies
agree that any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection, and expectation of client confidence arising from or as
a result of counsel’s representation of Buyer and the SPAC prior to the Closing, and all information and documents covered by
such privilege or protection, shall belong to and be controlled by the Buyer and the SPAC and may be waived only by them, and not an
Acquired Company, and shall not pass to or be claimed or used by Sellers or any Acquired Company, except with respect to the
assertion of such privilege or protection against a third party.

 

10.16.    Other
Transactions Financial Statements. In the event that paragraph 212.3(2)(a) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”)
applies to an “investment” (as defined in subsection 212.3(10) of the Tax Act) made by the SPAC in the Buyer, the SPAC shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to demonstrate, as required by paragraph 212.3(7)(a), (b), or (c) of the Tax Act that the conditions
of such paragraph have been met in respect of such investment, including demonstrating that all or any portion of the subscription proceeds
for the SPAC Class A Shares have been used, directly or indirectly, to make the particular investment in the Buyer.
