(b)Within five Business Days following Seller’s receipt of each Purchase Order, Seller shall confirm in writing to the applicable Buyer Party that it either accepts or rejects such Purchase Order (each, a “Confirmation”).

(a)Each Buyer Party may inspect or may cause to be inspected all shipments of Product in accordance with the Quality Agreement.

(b)A Rejection Notice shall also contain a notice of Buyer's election, in its sole discretion, as to its preferred remedy for the Non-Conforming Product. Buyer may elect:
(i)to have Seller replace the Non-Conforming Products with conforming Products, at Seller’s cost and expense, in which case Seller shall prioritize the production of any such replacement Products in order to deliver such conforming replacement Products to Buyer as soon as possible;
(ii)to have Seller reimburse Buyer for the purchase price paid with respect to such Non-Conforming Products and the shipping and handling costs actually incurred by Buyer with respect to the delivery and return of such Non-Conforming Products, and if Buyer elects this remedy and returns the Non-Conforming Products, such purchase will not be counted toward the Buyer Option Amount; or
(iii)to purchase the Non-Conforming Product at a price to be mutually agreed to by the Parties. For greater certainty, any Non-Conforming Products that a Buyer Party elects to purchase in its discretion pursuant to this Section 3.05(b)(iii) or Section 4.03 shall not be counted as part of Seller’s obligation to make the Minimum Monthly Quantity available for the applicable Commitment Month, and shall not be counted toward the Buyer Option Amount.

Section III.6Rejection Procedures.

Without limiting the foregoing, on the first Business Day of each month, Seller shall provide Buyer with an inventory report on the form provided by Buyer and as agreed to by the Parties, acting reasonably (the “Inventory Reconciliation Report”). Buyer, or one of its Representatives, shall be permitted to observe, in person, Seller performing its process for generating an Inventory Reconciliation Report no more than once every three months, provided, however, that if Buyer discovers any concerns with Seller’s process, in Buyer's sole and reasonable discretion, Buyer shall notify Seller and Buyer shall be permitted to observe any and all future inventory reconciliation procedures in person. The Parties agree to meet on a weekly basis, or as frequently as otherwise determined by Buyer in its sole discretion, during the Term for the purpose of assessing the Seller’s count and management of all Products and Seller shall provide Buyer with all supporting documentation as reasonably required by Buyer in connection with such weekly meetings. The Parties shall address any discrepancies in the count of Products as soon as possible, and in any event no later than two days following the discovery of any such discrepancy by a Party.

The Parties agree that Buyer's failure to be able to conduct a physical inventory count due to Seller’s actions or inactions would be considered a material breach of this Agreement that will cause irreparable damage to Buyer for which recovery of damages would be inadequate, and that Buyer will be entitled to obtain timely injunctive relief under this Agreement, as well as such further relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(a)If the Seller charges to, or otherwise agrees to be paid by, any other person a lower price (exclusive of Taxes, duties, transportation and freight, and taking into account any rebates, incentives, credits and similar inducements and compromises) for any Product (or any good or product that is the same as or similar to any Product), Seller will promptly notify Buyer, such notice to set out each affected Product, the applicable lower price therefor charged to or paid by such other person and the date on which (or the duration for which) each such lower price became or will become effective (or the duration for which such lower price has been or will be in effect) with respect to each such Product.
(b)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or of any Purchase Order to the contrary, in all cases Buyer will be required to pay only the lower price charged to or paid by such other person as set forth in the notice contemplated by Section 4.02(a). Such adjusted price shall be applicable to any previous purchases made by a Buyer Party or any future purchases, but shall only apply to an aggregate quantity of the corresponding Products that is equal to the quantity that was purchased by such other person at the lower price. In respect of any Products affected by this provision for which payment has been made by Buyer, Buyer will be entitled, at its election, to either: (a) a credit equal to the amount (the “Adjustment Amount”) by which Buyer’s aggregate payments to Seller for such affected Products exceed the aggregate purchase price for such Products that would have applied had the applicable lower prices applied during the applicable period; or (b) the payment by Seller to Buyer of an amount in cash equal to the Adjustment Amount within 30 days’ following Buyer’s notice to Seller.
Section IV.3Right of First Offer.
(a)During the Term, if Seller intends to sell Products that would be Non-Conforming Products, including, for greater certainty, any Product that is a lower potency than what is contemplated in the applicable Specifications, Seller shall notify the Buyer Parties and provide the applicable Supporting Information for such Non-Conforming Product.

    - 19 -



Non-Conforming Product at a price that Buyer proposes in its sole discretion (the “Reduced Price”). Seller may, in its sole discretion, agree to sell the Non-Conforming Products to the Buyer Party at the Reduced Price or go to market to try to sell the Non-Conforming Product at a price that is higher than the Reduced Price. If Seller is able to sell the Non-Conforming Products to a third party at a price that is less than the Invoice Price but is greater than the Reduced Price, Seller may complete such sale without violating its obligations under Section 4.02 of this Agreement.
(b)If Seller intends to sell the Non-Conforming Products to a third party at the Reduced Price or if Seller receives a bona fide written offer to purchase Non-Conforming Products at a price that is lower than the Reduced Price that Seller desires to accept (each, a “Further Reduced Price”), Seller shall notify the Buyer Parties and shall offer such Non-Conforming Products to the Buyer Parties at the Reduced Price or Further Reduced Price, as applicable. The Buyer Parties shall have ten days following their receipt of such notice to issue a Purchase Order for all or part of such Non-Conforming Products at the Reduced Price or Further Reduced Price, as applicable, provided that if the Buyer Parties do not issue a Purchase Order for the entire quantity of Non-Conforming Products during this period, Seller may offer the remaining Non-Conforming Products at the Reduced Price or Further Reduced Price, as applicable, to a third party without violating its obligations under Section 4.02 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of this Section 4.03(b) apply to each instance in which Seller intends to accept a third party offer at the Reduced Price or a Further Reduced Price during the Term.
(c)Any offer for sale of Non-Conforming Products as contemplated in this Section 4.03 shall not impact Seller’s monthly obligation to make available for sale the Minimum Monthly Quantity as contemplated in Section 2.06 of this Agreement.

Each Buyer Party reserves the right to return and withhold payment due under any invoices or related documents that are materially inaccurate or incorrectly submitted to a Buyer Party. Any payment by a Buyer Party of an invoice is not an acceptance of non-conforming elements or terms on such invoice or the related Products.
Section IV.5Invoice Disputes. A Buyer Party shall notify Seller of any dispute with any invoice within ten Business Days from a Buyer Party’s receipt of such invoice. Seller and the applicable Buyer Party shall seek to resolve all such disputes expeditiously and in good faith.

Section IV.7Taxes.

(d)In the event any audit examination reveals that the amounts paid by Buyer to Seller hereunder in respect of the purchase or sale of Products were incorrect, Buyer shall present its findings to Seller and Seller shall have 15 Business Days to either agree that the adjustments identified by Buyer are required to be made or to deliver a written notice of objection to Buyer (an “Audit Objection Notice”) setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith. If Seller fails to deliver an Audit Objection Notice within such 15 Business Day period, Seller will be deemed to have accepted Buyer’s findings and payments shall be made by Seller within 15 Business Days to give effect to such adjustments.
(e)If Seller delivers an Audit Objection Notice before the expiration of the 15 Business Day review period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate to resolve such objections within 15 Business Days after the delivery of the Audit Objection Notice (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, payments shall be made within five Business Days to effect any adjustments agreed to by the Parties during such Resolution Period by the Party obligated to make such payments.
(f)If Buyer and Seller fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Audit Objection Notice before expiration of the Resolution Period, then, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of a mutually agreeable and impartial nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants other than Buyer’s accountants or Seller’s accountants (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as expert and not arbitrator, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Buyer, on the one hand, and by Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Buyer or Seller, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Buyer and Seller

Section VIII.1Scope of Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term, either Party (including, in respect of Buyer, any Buyer Party) (as the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available to the other Party (as the “Receiving Party”) certain information about its business affairs, goods and services (including any forecasts), confidential information and materials comprising or relating to Intellectual Property Rights, Know-How, Trade Secrets, third-party confidential information and other sensitive or proprietary information. Such information, as well as the terms of this Agreement, whether oral or in written, electronic or other form or media, and whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as
    - 29 -



“confidential” constitutes “Confidential Information” hereunder. Confidential Information does not include information that, at the time of disclosure:
(a)is or becomes generally available to and known by the public other than as a result of, directly or indirectly, any breach of this Article VIII by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives;
(b)is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third-party source, provided that, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge, such third party is not and was not prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information;
(c)was known by or in the possession of the Receiving Party or its Representatives before being disclosed by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party;
(d)was or is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to or use of, in whole or in part, any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or
(e)is required to be disclosed under Applicable Law.

(b)reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure.
    - 30 -



If, after providing such notice and assistance as required herein, the Receiving Party remains required by Applicable Law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall disclose no more than that portion of the Confidential Information which, on the advice in the view of the Receiving Party’s legal counsel, the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose and, upon the Disclosing Party’s request, shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, to obtain assurances from the applicable court or agency that such Confidential Information will be afforded confidential treatment.
Section VIII.4Return / Destroy Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, upon the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Receiving Party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information (including all copies, extracts or other reproductions) to the Disclosing Party and if destroyed, certify in writing to the Disclosing Party within such time frame that such Confidential Information (including any Confidential Information held electronically) has been destroyed.

In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Article VIII and those of any other provision of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Article VIII shall prevail.

(d)At any time, and from time to time, during the Term, Buyer may make a written request for a copy of the Records created and maintained by Seller (a “Records Request”). Seller shall provide the requested Records as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of its receipt of the Records Request and, in any event, no later than five Business Days after its receipt of the Records Request. For greater certainty, a Records Request shall not be considered an audit for the purposes of this Agreement.

The fact that any audit or inspection may not have been conducted or caused to be conducted by Buyer or any of its Representatives will not relieve Seller of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Quality Agreement.
    - 33 -

Article X.
INSURANCE
Section X.1Insurance. Seller will, without limiting its liability under this Agreement or its obligations under Applicable Laws, at its own expense and for the duration of the Agreement, maintain in effect prior to the commencement of the obligations under this Agreement, the insurance requirements described in this Article X, including coverage for their officers, directors and employees, given the nature of the products supplied under this Agreement. The required limits may be met with a combination of primary and excess/umbrella liability policies.
(a)Commercial General Liability insurance coverage with a limit of not less than $10,000,000.00 per occurrence. The policy shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance carried by Buyer and include liability coverage for bodily injury including death, personal injury, property damage or destruction (including loss of use), employer's liability, products and completed operations, limited pollution liability, broad form property damage, cross liability or severability of interest clause, blanket contractual liability including coverage for the obligations assumed under this Agreement as an insured contract, and non-owned automobile, motorized equipment, unlicensed vehicles on and off premises owned or controlled by Seller.
(b)All Risk Property insurance coverage for the full replacement cost of Products of Buyer in the care, custody and control of the Seller including while in transit, as Buyer's interests appear.
(c)Cargo insurance in accordance with the terms of shipment for the full replacement cost of the Products. A certificate of insurance will be provided by Seller at Buyer's request.
(d)Worker's Compensation insurance covering all employees of Seller engaged in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and in accordance with the statutory obligations imposed by the relevant province, territory, state or country in which the obligations under this Agreement are being provided.
    - 34 -



(e)Automobile Liability insurance covering all licensed motor vehicles owned, non-owned, leased or used by Seller in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement for a limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 inclusive per occurrence, for bodily injury, including death, pollution liability and property damage (including loss of use). This policy shall cover risks of loading and unloading.
(f)Any other insurance required by Applicable Laws or that a prudent Seller would obtain and maintain given the nature of obligations provided under this Agreement or that Buyer may reasonably request Seller to obtain and maintain.
Section X.2Seller shall provide Buyer with a certificate of insurance evidencing the above and, on all policies where applicable, must include the following:
(a)a waiver of subrogation in favour of Buyer and its Affiliates;
(b)name Buyer, its affiliates, its directors, officers, employees and agents as additional insured; and
(c)contain a clause stating that Buyer's interests will not be prejudiced in the event the First named insured breaches any warranty of the policy.
Section X.3All insurance policies required pursuant to this Article X will be in accordance with the following requirements:
Section X.4If any of the required policies are cancelled, for any reason regarding the coverage as stated herein Seller's insurer shall provide 30 days prior written notice, or 15 days if cancellation is due to non-payment of premium, by email to: treasury@thecronosgroup.com and notices@thecronosgroup.com. In the event of such cancellation, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such cancelled insurance policy coverage with substantially similar insurance policy coverage that meets the requirements set forth in this Section;
(a)Seller will ensure that all insurance policies required under this Agreement are written by Insurers having an AM Best rating of "A-" or better, or the equivalent, and which are licensed to provide insurance coverage in the jurisdictions in which the obligations under this Agreement will be conducted; and
(b)The products and completed operations endorsements required by this Article X shall be maintained on a continuous basis for six years subsequent to termination of this Agreement.
(c)Any self-insured retention, deductibles, and exclusions in coverage in the policies required under this Article X will be assumed by, for the account of, and at the sole risk of Seller and, to the extent applicable, will be paid by Seller.
Section X.5Seller will deliver to Buyer up-to-date insurance certificates evidencing such required coverage before the commencement of provision of the obligations under this Agreement, within 15 days of the renewal of any such policy, and otherwise from time to time as is reasonably required by Buyer, provided that Buyer has no obligation to examine such
    - 35 -



certificates or to advise Seller in the event its insurance is not in compliance with this Article X. Seller will provide a certified copy of such required coverage upon Buyer's request.
Section X.6Seller will cause any subcontractors or sub-consultants of Seller to obtain and maintain similar insurance coverage as that required of the Seller and that would be maintained by a prudent subcontractor or sub-consultant and considered commercially reasonable in similar circumstances, including coverage for their respective officers, directors and employees.
Section X.7Neither the providing of insurance by Seller in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement nor the insolvency, bankruptcy or failure of any insurance company to pay any claim accruing shall be held to waive any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the liability of Seller or otherwise. The presence or absence of such insurance coverage as contemplated by this Agreement does not in any way decrease Seller's liability owed to Buyer.
Article XI.
INDEMNIFICATION
Section XI.1Indemnification. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Seller and Buyer (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party and its Affiliates, and such Party’s and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable legal fees, disbursements and charges, fees and the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification under this Agreement and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, incurred by any Indemnified Party (collectively, “Losses”), arising out or resulting from any third-party Claim or any direct Claim against Indemnifying Party alleging:
(a)a material breach or non-fulfilment of any of Indemnifying Party’s representations, warranties, conditions or covenants set forth in this Agreement;
(b)any actual or alleged grossly negligent or more culpable act or omission of Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives (including any recklessness) in connection with Indemnifying Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement;
(c)the actual or alleged fraud or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives; or
(d)any bodily injury, death of any Person or damage to real or tangible personal property caused by the willful or grossly negligent acts or omissions of Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives.
Section XI.2Exceptions and Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify or defend any Indemnified Party against any Claim (whether direct or indirect) if such Claim or the
    - 36 -



corresponding Losses result directly from, in whole or in part, Indemnified Party’s or its Personnel’s:
(a)gross negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct); or
(b)failure to materially comply with any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement or under Applicable Law.
Section XI.3Indemnification Procedures. If the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification from the indemnifying Party for any Losses pursuant to this Article XI, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying Party of the claim to which the indemnity applies (the “Indemnifiable Claim”). Such notice shall provide in reasonable detail any information that the Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Indemnifiable Claim (including copies of any summons, complaints, or other pleadings which may have been served on the Indemnified Party or its agents and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing, or other document evidencing the same). Such Notice shall also specify whether the Indemnifiable Claim arises as a result of a claim asserted by a Person that is not a Party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the claim is asserted directly by the Indemnified Party (a “Direct Claim”). Failure to give prompt notice of a matter which may give rise to indemnification hereunder shall not affect the rights of an Indemnified Party to seek indemnification hereunder so long as such failure to so notify does not adversely affect in any material respect the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend the matter for which indemnification is sought.
Section XI.4With respect to any Third Party Claim, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defence of the matter for which indemnification is sought under this Agreement, provided that the Buyer must conduct the defence actively and diligently thereafter; and provided further, however, that Buyer may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except if such settlement does not require an admission of wrong doing, does not result in monetary damages and does not restrain Seller’s ongoing business. If Buyer fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, Seller shall be entitled to assume that conduct, provided that Seller must conduct the defence actively and diligently thereafter and that Seller may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section XI.5With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 60 days to investigate the claim. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If both Parties agree at or prior to the expiration of the 60 day period (or any mutually
    - 37 -



agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the claim.
Section XI.6The Indemnifying Party waives any right it may have to require an Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or to claim payment from any other Person before claiming under the indemnity provided for in this Article XI. It is not necessary for an Indemnified Party to incur expense or make payment before enforcing that indemnity. Nothing herein limits or restricts the obligation of a Party to account for any net Taxes benefit or any recovery, settlement or otherwise or under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Persons.
Section XI.7Buyer and Seller accept each indemnity in favour of each of the Indemnified Parties that is not a party to this Agreement, as agent and trustee of that indemnified Party and may enforce any such indemnity in favour of that Indemnified Party on behalf of that Indemnified Party, provided nothing herein shall prohibit or restrict each Indemnified Party to enforce any such indemnity in favour of that Indemnified Party and no amendment, modification or waiver of any rights or benefits of an Indemnified Party under this Article XI shall be effective in respect of an Indemnified Party unless such indemnified Party consents, in writing, to such amendment, modification or waiver, as the case may be. Each Party agrees to execute and deliver to any Indemnified Party, such indemnity agreements or other documents as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to provide each such Indemnified Party privity of contract with each Party in respect of the indemnity provided for in this Article XI in their favour.
Article XII.
