Section 8.2 Conditions Precedent to the Obligation of the Investor to Purchase the Purchase Notice Securities. The obligation of the Investor hereunder to purchase the Purchase Notice Securities is subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(a) Effective Registration Statement. The Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement thereto, shall have been declared effective and shall remain effective for the sale of the Registrable Securities (including reoffers by the Investor, affiliated purchasers, and selling agents of the Investor) at all times until the Closing with respect to the subject Purchase Notice, the Company shall not have received notice that the SEC has issued or intends to issue a stop order with respect to such Registration Statement or that the SEC otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened to do so, and no other suspension of the use of, or withdrawal of the effectiveness of, such Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or the Prospectus Supplement shall exist. The Investor shall not have received any notice from the Company that the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, and/or any prospectus supplement or amendment thereto fails to meet the requirements of Section 5(b) or Section 10 of the Securities Act.
18
(b) Accuracy of the Company’s Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Execution Date and as of the date of each Closing (except for representations and warranties specifically made as of a particular date).
(c) Performance by the Company. The Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied, or complied with by the Company at or prior to such Closing.
(d) No Injunction. No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or adopted by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits or directly and materially adversely affects any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and no proceeding shall have been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or materially adversely affecting any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(e) No Suspension of Trading in or Delisting of Shares. The trading of the Securities shall not have been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market, or otherwise halted for any reason, and the Securities shall have been approved for listing or quotation on and shall not have been delisted from or no longer quoted on the Principal Market. In the event of a suspension, delisting, or halting for any reason, of the trading of the Securities, as contemplated by this Section 8.2(e) following delivery of a Purchase Notice and prior to the Closing for the Purchase Notice Securities for such Purchase Notice, the Investor shall, subject to applicable securities laws, have the right to return to the Company any amount of Purchase Notice Securities that the Investor continues to hold, and the Commitment Amount with respect to such Purchase Notice Securities, shall be refunded accordingly.

The number of Purchase Notice Securities to be purchased by the Investor at any time under this Agreement shall not exceed the number of such Common Shares that, when aggregated with all other Common Shares then beneficially owned (as such term is defined under the Exchange Act) by the Investor, would result in the Investor beneficially owning more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below), as determined in accordance with Section 13 of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 8.2(f), if the amount of Common Shares outstanding is greater or lesser on a Closing Date than on the date on which the Purchase Notice associated with such Closing Date is given, the amount of Common Shares outstanding on such Closing Date shall govern for purposes of determining whether the Investor, when aggregating all purchases of Common Shares made pursuant to this Agreement, would beneficially own more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation following a purchase on any such Closing Date. If the Investor claims that compliance with a Purchase Notice would result in the Investor owning more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, upon request of the Company, the Investor will provide the Company with evidence of the Investor’s then existing Common Shares beneficially owned. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of Common Shares issuable pursuant to a Purchase Notice. To the extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation would be exceeded in connection with a Closing, the number of Securities issuable to the Investor shall be reduced so it does not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

(j) DWAC Eligible. The Securities must be DWAC Eligible and not subject to a “DTC chill.”

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Greenbrook TMS Inc.

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
In rendering the opinion stated herein, we have examined and relied upon the following:
(a) | the Registration Statement; | |
(b) | the Prospectus; | |
(c) | the Purchase Agreement, dated July 13, 2023, filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Corporation’s Form 6-K on July 13, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”); | |
(d) | an executed copy of a certificate of Bill Leonard, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, dated the date hereof (the “Officer’s Certificate”); | |
(e) | a copy of the Corporation’s articles of incorporation under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) current as of July 13, 2023, and certified pursuant to the Officer’s Certificate; | |
(f) | the by-laws of the Corporation current as of July 13, 2023, and certified pursuant to the Officer’s Certificate; and | |
(g) | resolutions of the board of directors of the Corporation relating to the registration of the Shares and related matters. |
We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Corporation and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Corporation, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion stated below, including the facts and conclusions set forth in the Officer’s Certificate.
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including electronic signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photocopied copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. With respect to our opinion set forth below, we have assumed that (i) the Corporation will receive in full the consideration for the Shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the applicable Purchase Notices (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the applicable resolutions of the board of directors of the Corporation approving the issuance of all such Shares, (ii) the issuance of the Shares has been registered in the Corporation’s share registry and (iii) the issuance of the Shares did not violate or conflict with any agreement or instrument binding on the Corporation. As to any facts relevant to the opinion stated herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Corporation and of public officials.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Corporation under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and upon issuance of the Shares pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the receipt by the Corporation of the consideration for the Shares pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the applicable Purchase Notices (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus.
