Attention: Charles Bachtell, Chief Executive Officer and Director

Dear Sir:

Canaccord Genuity Corp. (“Canaccord”), on its own behalf and on behalf of the Canaccord Genuity Group of companies, as lead underwriter, Beacon Securities Limited, Cormark Securities Inc., Eight Capital and GMP Securities L.P. (together with Canaccord, the “Underwriters” and, individually, an “Underwriter”) hereby severally, and not jointly and severally, offer and agree to purchase on an “underwritten” basis in the Qualifying Jurisdictions (as defined below) and the other jurisdictions contemplated herein, including the United States, from Cresco Labs Inc. (the “Company”), and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Underwriters, an aggregate of 7,350,000 units (each an “Initial Unit” and collectively, the “Initial Units”) of the Company, at the purchase price of $10.00 per Initial Unit (the “Issue Price”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $73,500,000, upon and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (the “Offering”). Each Initial Unit shall consist of one subordinate voting share in the capital of the Company (each an “Initial Share” and collectively, the “Initial Shares”) and one-half of one subordinate voting share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole subordinate voting share purchase warrant being an “Initial Warrant” and collectively, the “Initial Warrants”). After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Initial Units at the Issue Price, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce the selling price to investors from time to time, provided that any such reduction in the Issue Price shall not affect the aggregate gross proceeds less Underwriters Fees (as defined below) payable to the Company.

Upon and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein contained, the Company hereby grants to the Underwriters, in the respective percentages set out in Section 19 of this Agreement, an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 1,102,500 additional units of the Company (each an “Additional Unit” and collectively, the “Additional Units”) at a price equal to the Issue Price, that is exercisable on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date (as defined below). Each Additional Unit shall consist of one subordinate voting share in the capital of the Company (each an “Additional Share” and collectively the “Additional Shares”) and one-half of one subordinate voting share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole subordinate voting share purchase warrant being an “Additional Warrant” and collectively the “Additional Warrants”). The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised by the Underwriters in respect of: (i) Additional Units at the Issue Price; or (ii) Additional Shares at a price of $8.92 per Additional Share; or (iii) Additional Warrants at a price of $2.16 per Additional Warrant; or (iv) any combination of Additional Shares and/or Additional Warrants so long as the aggregate number of Additional Shares and Additional Warrants that may be issued under the Over-Allotment Option does not exceed 1,102,500 Additional Shares and 551,250 Additional

Warrants. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time prior to its expiry in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Underwriters shall be under no obligation whatsoever to exercise the Over-Allotment Option in whole or in part.

Delivery of and payment for any Additional Units will be made at the time and on the date (each an “Option Closing Date”) as set out in a written notice of Canaccord, on behalf of the Underwriters, referred to below, which Option Closing Date may occur on the Closing Date but will in no event occur earlier than the Closing Date, nor earlier than two Business Days (as defined below) or later than seven Business Days after the date upon which the Company receives a written notice from Canaccord, on behalf of the Underwriters, setting out the number of Additional Units to be purchased by the Underwriters. Any such notice must be received by the Company not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date. Upon the furnishing of such a notice, the Underwriters will be committed to purchase, and the Company will be committed to sell and deliver to the Underwriters, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the number of Additional Units indicated in such notice.

Unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specifically stated, all references in this Agreement to (i) the “Offering” shall be deemed to include the Over-Allotment Option, (ii) the “Offered Units” shall mean, collectively, the Initial Units and the Additional Units, (iii) the “Shares” shall mean, collectively, the Initial Shares and the Additional Shares, and (iv) the “Warrants” shall mean, collectively, the Initial Warrants and the Additional Warrants.

The Underwriters understand that the Company intends to allocate $8.92 of the Issue Price as consideration for the issue of each Share and $1.08 of the Issue Price as consideration for the issue of each one-half Warrant.    

The Warrants shall be created and issued pursuant to a warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”) to be dated as of the Closing Date between the Company and Odyssey Trust Company, in its capacity as warrant agent thereunder. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one subordinate voting share in the capital of the Company (each a “Warrant Share” and collectively the “Warrant Shares”) at a price of $12.50 per Warrant Share, for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date.

In consideration of the Underwriters’ services to be rendered in connection with the Offering, the Company agrees to pay to the Underwriters: (A) at or prior to the Closing Time (as defined below) on the Closing Date an aggregate cash fee equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Initial Units, and (B) at or prior to the Closing Time on each Option Closing Date an aggregate cash fee equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Additional Units at that time (the fees referred to in (A) and (B) are collectively the “Underwriters Fees”).

In accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the Company agrees that each of the Underwriters will be permitted to appoint, at the sole cost and expense of the Underwriter so appointing, other registered dealers (or other dealers duly qualified in their respective jurisdictions) as their agents to assist in the Offering, and that the Underwriters may determine the remuneration payable to such other dealers appointed by them; provided that, for certainty, the Company shall not have any liability for any such remuneration.

(b) any information or statement (except any information or statement relating solely to the Underwriters or any of them and furnished in writing by the Underwriters or their legal counsel to the Company for use therein) in any of the Offering Documents (including, for greater certainty, the Documents Incorporated by Reference and any Subsequent Disclosure Documents) containing or being alleged to contain a misrepresentation or being or being alleged to be untrue, or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state in any of the Offering Documents any material fact (other than a material fact relating solely to the underwriters) required to be stated in those documents or necessary to make any of the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made;

(c) any order made or any inquiry, investigation or proceeding instituted, threatened or announced by any court, securities regulatory authority, stock exchange or by any other competent authority, based upon any untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation or alleged untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation (except a statement, omission or misrepresentation relating solely to the Underwriters or any of them and furnished in writing by the Underwriters or their legal counsel to the Company for use therein) contained in any of the Offering Documents or any other document or material filed or delivered on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, preventing or restricting the trading in or the sale or distribution of the Offered Units, Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares or any other securities of the Company;

(d) the non-compliance by the Company with any Applicable Securities Laws or other regulatory requirements or the rules, by-laws and regulations of the CSE including the Company’s non-compliance with any statutory requirement to make any document available for inspection;

(e) any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation made by the Company in connection with the Offering, whether oral or written, where such misrepresentation gives rise to any liability under any statute in any jurisdiction which is in force on the date of this Agreement; or

(f) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein or the failure of the Company to comply with any of its covenants or other obligations contained herein or to satisfy any conditions contained herein required to be satisfied by the Company.

Any Underwriter shall not be entitled to the rights of indemnity contained in this Section 13 in connection with any Claim, if the Company has complied with the provisions of Sections 6 and, if applicable Section 5, and the person asserting such Claim for which indemnity would otherwise be available was not delivered a copy of the

- 40 -

Prospectus or the U.S. Placement Memorandum or was not provided with a copy of any Supplementary Material (or in the case of the U.S. Placement Memorandum, such applicable supplementary materials) which corrects any misrepresentation contained in the Prospectus and/or the U.S. Placement Memorandum which is the basis for such Claim and which Prospectus, U.S. Placement Memorandum or Supplementary Material (or in the case of the U.S. Placement Memorandum, such applicable supplementary materials) is required under Applicable Securities Laws or this Agreement to be delivered to such person by such Underwriter or members of any Selling Firm appointed by such Underwriter.

(2) If any Claim contemplated by this Section 13 shall be asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties, or if any potential Claim contemplated by this Section 13 shall come to the knowledge of any of the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Party concerned shall promptly notify in writing the Company of the nature of such Claim (provided that any failure to so notify in respect of any Claim or potential Claim shall affect the liability of the Company under this Section 13 only if and to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure). The Company shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence on behalf of the Indemnified Party of any such Claim; provided that the defence shall be through legal counsel selected by the Company and acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Claim and participate in the defence thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:

(i) the Company fails to assume the defence of such Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party within fourteen days of receiving notice of such suit;

(ii) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Company; or

(iii) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by counsel that representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel for the Company is inappropriate as a result of the potential or actual conflicting interests of those represented or that there may be legal defences available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties which are different from or in addition to those available to the Company or that the subject matter of the Claim may not fall within the foregoing indemnity or that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnified Parties;

in which case, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defence of such Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party and the Company shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Parties as well as the reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Party (including an amount to reimburse the Underwriter or Underwriters at their normal per diem rates for time spent by their respective directors, officers or employees ). Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, in no event shall the Company be liable for the fees or disbursements of more than one firm of legal counsel to an Indemnified Party in a particular jurisdiction in respect of any particular Claim or related set of Claims.

- 41 -

The Company will not, without each affected Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, admit any liability, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder unless in connection with any settlement, compromise or consent by the Company, such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim (if an Indemnified Party is a party to such action) and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party.

(3) The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to Sections 13 and 14 hereof, the Underwriters are contracting on their own behalf and as agents for their affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, advisors, agents (collectively, the “Beneficiaries”). In this regard, each of the Underwriters shall act as trustee for the Beneficiaries of the covenants of the Company under Sections 13 and 14 hereof with respect to the Beneficiaries and accepts these trusts and shall hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of the Beneficiaries.

(4) The Company hereby waives any right it may have of first requiring an Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or claim payment from any other person before claiming under this indemnity. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or any person asserting Claims on behalf of or in right of the Company for or in connection with the Offering except to the extent any Losses suffered by the Company are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable to have resulting from the gross negligence, fraud, illegal act or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that such Losses to which the Indemnified Party may be subject were caused by the gross negligence, fraud, illegal act or wilful misconduct of the Indemnified Party. For greater certainty, the Company and the Underwriters agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Underwriters to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Underwriters with reasonable grounds for believing the Offering Documents contained no misrepresentation shall constitute “fraud” or “gross negligence” or “wilful misconduct” for purposes of this Section 13 or otherwise disentitle the Underwriters from indemnification hereunder.

(6) The Company agrees that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Company and/or the Underwriters by any governmental commission or regulatory authority or any stock exchange or other entity having regulatory authority, either domestic or foreign, or if any such commission or authority shall investigate the Company and/or the Indemnified Parties and any Indemnified Parties shall be required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of the performance of

- 42 -

professional services rendered to the Company by the Underwriters, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ their own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Underwriters for time spent by the Indemnified Parties in connection therewith) and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Indemnified Parties in connection therewith shall be paid by the Company as they occur. The Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for the time spent by their personnel in connection with any Claim at their normal per diem rates.

(7) The rights to indemnification provided in this Section 13 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other rights which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise at law.

Section 14 Contribution

(1) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided in Section 13 hereof would otherwise be available in accordance with its terms but is, for any reason held to be illegal, unavailable to or unenforceable by the Indemnified Parties or enforceable otherwise than in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate of all Losses of the nature contemplated in Section 13 hereof and suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other hand, from the distribution of the Offered Units, or (ii) if the allocation provided by (i) is not permitted by Applicable Law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in respect of such Losses; provided that the Company shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claim in excess of such amount over the amount actually received by the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party under this Agreement and further provided that the Underwriters shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of such total Underwriters Fees or any portion thereof actually received by the Underwriters. However, no party who has engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or wilful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment shall be entitled to claim contribution from any person who has not engaged in such fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or wilful misconduct.

(2) The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same ratio as the total proceeds from the Offering of the Offered Units (net of the Underwriters Fees payable to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by the Company is to the Underwriters Fees actually received by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the matters or things referred to in Section 13 which resulted in such Claims and/or Losses relate to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or not done by or on behalf of the Company or to information supplied by or

- 43 -

steps or actions taken or done or not taken or not done by or on behalf of the Underwriters and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation, or other matter or thing referred to in Section 13. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Claims and/or Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claims and/or Losses, whether or not resulting in an action, suit, proceeding or claim. The parties to this Agreement agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 14 were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 14.

(3) If the Company may be held to be entitled to contribution from the Underwriters under the provisions of any statute or at law, the Company shall be limited to contribution in an aggregate amount not exceeding the lesser of:

(a) the portion of the full amount of the Losses giving rise to such contribution for which the Underwriters are responsible, as determined in Section 13(1); and

(b) the amount of the aggregate Underwriters Fees actually received by the Underwriters from the Company under this Agreement.

(4) The rights to contribution provided in this Section 14 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Indemnified Parties may have by statute or otherwise at law.

(5) If an Indemnified Party has reason to believe that a claim for contribution may arise, the Indemnified Party shall give the Company notice thereof in writing, but failure to so notify shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Section 14 provided that the Company is not materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure, and the right of the Company to assume the defence of such Indemnified Party shall apply as set out in Section 13 hereof, mutatis mutandis.

Section 15 Fees and Expenses

(1) Whether or not the purchase and sale of the Offered Units shall be completed, all fees and expenses (including GST or HST, if applicable) of or incidental to the creation, issuance and delivery of the Offered Units and of or incidental to all matters in connection with the transactions herein set out shall be borne by the Company including, without limitation:

(a) all expenses of or incidental to the creation, issue, sale or distribution of the Offered Units and the filing of the Prospectus and any Supplementary Material;

(b) the fees and expenses of the auditors, counsel to the Company and all local counsel (including disbursements and non-creditable GST or HST, if and as applicable, on all of the foregoing);

- 44 -

(c) all costs incurred in connection with the preparation and printing of the Prospectus and any Supplementary Material contemplated hereunder and otherwise relating to the Offering; and

(d) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees of the Underwriters, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Underwriters’ Canadian and U.S. counsel (subject to a maximum of $125,000 plus disbursements and applicable taxes), with such expenses to be paid by the Company at the Closing Time or at any other time requested by the Underwriters, acting reasonably, provided that all fees and expenses incurred by the Underwriters, or on its behalf, pursuant to the Offering shall be payable by the Company promptly upon receiving an invoice therefor from the Underwriters.

Section 16 All Terms to be Conditions

The Company agrees that the conditions contained in Section 10 will be complied with insofar as the same relate to acts to be performed or caused to be performed by the Company and that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such conditions to be complied with. Any breach or failure to comply with or satisfy any of the conditions set out in Section 10 shall entitle the Underwriters to terminate their obligation to purchase the Offered Units, by written notice to that effect given to the Company at or prior to the Closing Time. It is understood that the Underwriters may waive, in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to the rights of the Underwriters in respect of any such terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on the Underwriters any such waiver or extension must be in writing.

Section 17 Termination by Underwriters in Certain Events

(1) Each Underwriter shall also be entitled to terminate its obligation to purchase the Offered Units by written notice to that effect given to the Company at or prior to the Closing Time if:

(a) there is a material change or a change in a material fact or new material fact shall arise, or there should be discovered any previously undisclosed material fact required to be disclosed in the Prospectus or any amendment thereto, in each case, that has or would be expected to have, in the opinion of the Underwriters (or any of them), acting reasonably, a significant adverse change or effect on the business or affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or on the market price or the value of the Offered Units or Subordinate Voting Shares;

(b) except in connection with U.S. Marijuana Laws, (i) any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (whether formal or informal) is commenced, announced or threatened or any order made by any federal, provincial, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality including, without limitation, the CSE or any securities regulatory authority (except for any inquiry, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or order based upon activities of the Underwriters and not upon activities of the

- 45 -

Company) or any law or regulation is enacted or changed which in the opinion of the Underwriters (or any of them), acting reasonably, operates to prevent or materially restrict the trading of the Subordinate Voting Shares or any other securities of the Company or materially and adversely affects or might be expected to materially and adversely affect the market price or value of the Offered Units or Subordinate Voting Shares; or (ii) if there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, condition (including without limitation, terrorism or accident) or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence or any new or change in any law or regulation which in the opinion of the Underwriters, acting reasonably, seriously adversely affects, or involves, or would reasonably be expected to seriously adversely affect, or involve, the financial markets in Canada and the United States or the business, operations or affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the market price or value of the securities of the Company;

(c) the Company is in breach of any material term, condition or covenant of this Agreement or any representation or warranty given by the Company in this Agreement is or becomes false in any material respect;

(d) any order to cease or suspend trading in any securities of the Company or prohibiting or restricting the distribution of any securities of the Company, including the Offered Units, Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, is made, or proceedings are announced, commenced or threatened for the making of any such order, by any securities commission or similar regulatory authority, the CSE or any other competent authority, and has not been rescinded, revoked or withdrawn; or

(e) any Underwriter and the Company agree in writing to terminate this Agreement in relation to such Underwriter.

(2) If this Agreement is terminated by any of the Underwriters pursuant to Section 17(1), there shall be no further liability on the part of such Underwriter, or on the part of the Company to such Underwriter except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Sections 13, 14 and 15.

(3) The right of the Underwriters or any of them to terminate their respective obligations under this Agreement is in addition to such other remedies as they may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act of the Company in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement. A notice of termination given by one Underwriter under this Section 17 shall not be binding upon the other Underwriters.

Section 18 Allocation of Canaccord

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Canaccord shall, in its sole discretion and without notice or consent of the Company, be entitled to allocate its underwriting commitment under this Agreement to any of its affiliates within the Canaccord Genuity Group of Companies.

- 46 -

Section 19 Obligations of the Underwriters

(1) The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement shall be several in all respects and not joint or joint and several. For greater certainty, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Units shall be several and not joint or joint and several, and shall be limited to the percentages of the aggregate number of Offered Units to be purchased set out opposite the names of the Underwriters respectively below:

Canaccord Genuity Corp.	-	60%
Beacon Securities Limited	-	10%
Cormark Securities Inc.	-	10%
Eight Capital	-	10%
GMP Securities L.P.	-	10%

(2) If an Underwriter does not complete the purchase and sale of the Offered Units which that Underwriter has agreed to purchase under this Agreement (other than in accordance with Section 17 of this Agreement) (the “Defaulted Units”), Canaccord may delay the Closing Date for not more than five days without the prior written consent of the Company, and the remaining Underwriters (the “Continuing Underwriters”) will be entitled, at their option, to purchase all but not less than all of the Defaulted Units, provided, however, that in the event that the percentage of the total number of Defaulted Units which one or more of the Underwriters has failed or refused to purchase is not more than 10% of the total number of the Offered Units which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, the Continuing Underwriters shall be obligated severally to purchase on a pro rata basis (or such other basis as such other Underwriters may agree) all, but not less than all, of the Offered Units which would otherwise have been purchased by the one or more Underwriters which failed or refused to purchase. If the Continuing Underwriters are not required to and do not elect to purchase the Defaulted Units:

(a) the Continuing Underwriters will not be obliged to purchase any of the Offered Units;

(b) the Company will not be obliged to sell less than all of the Offered Units; and

(c) the Company will be entitled to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, in which event there will be no further liability on the part of the Continuing Underwriters, or on the part of the Company except pursuant to the provisions of Sections 13, 14 and 15 of this Agreement.

Section 20 Over-Allotment

In connection with the distribution of the Offered Units, the Underwriters and members of their selling group (if any) may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares at levels above those which might otherwise

- 47 -

prevail in the open market, in compliance with Applicable Securities Laws (including, for greater certainty, Regulation M under the U.S. Exchange Act). Those stabilizing transactions, if any, may be discontinued at any time.

Any such notice or other communication shall be in writing, and unless delivered personally to the addressee or to a responsible officer of the addressee, as applicable, shall be given by email or fax and shall be deemed to have been given when: (i) in the case of a notice delivered personally or by email to a responsible officer of the addressee, when so delivered; and (ii) in the case of a notice delivered or given by fax on the first Business Day following the day on which it is sent.

Section 22 Relationship between the Company and the Underwriters.

The Company hereby acknowledges that (i) the offer and sale of the Offered Units pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand; (ii) each Underwriter is acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company; and (iii) the Company’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the Offering and the process leading up to the Offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the Offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that any Underwriter has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 23 Miscellaneous

(1) Except with respect to Sections 13, 14, 17 and 18, all transactions and notices on behalf of the Underwriters hereunder or contemplated hereby may be carried out or given on behalf of the Underwriters by Canaccord and Canaccord shall in good faith discuss with the other Underwriter the nature of any such transactions and notices prior to giving effect thereto or the delivery thereof, as the case may be.

(2) This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors and legal representatives, provided that no party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party (provided that Canaccord shall represent the Underwriters in this regard).

(3) This Agreement, including all schedules to this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified by written agreement signed by all of the parties.

(4) Neither the Company nor any of the Underwriters shall make any public announcement in connection with the Offering, except if the other party (provided that Canaccord shall represent the Underwriters in this regard) has consented to such announcement or the announcement is required by Applicable Laws or stock exchange rules. In such event, the party proposing to make the announcement will provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity, in the circumstances, to review a draft of the proposed announcement and to provide comments thereon.

- 49 -

(5) No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound by the waiver. A party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right it may have.

(6) If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal exists or is taken, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

(7) This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.

(8) Time shall be of the essence hereof and, following any waiver or indulgence by any party, time shall again be of the essence hereof.

(9) The words, “hereunder”, “hereof” and similar phrases mean and refer to the Agreement formed as a result of the acceptance by the Company of this offer by the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Units.

(10) All warranties, representations, covenants (including indemnification obligations) and agreements of the Company herein contained or contained in any Ancillary Document shall survive the purchase by the Underwriters of the Offered Units and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Underwriters regardless of the Closing of the sale of the Offered Units, any subsequent disposition of the Shares or Warrants comprising the Offered Units by the Underwriters or the termination of the Underwriters’ obligations under this Agreement and shall not be limited or prejudiced by any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters in accordance with the preparation of the Prospectus or any Supplementary Material or the distribution of the Offered Units or otherwise, and the Company agrees that the Underwriters shall not be presumed to know of the existence of a claim against the Company under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Units as a result of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters in accordance with the preparation of the Prospectus or any Supplementary Material or the distribution of the Offered Units or otherwise.

(11) Each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on delivery of a facsimile or portable document format copy of this Agreement and acceptance by each such party of any such facsimile or portable document format copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the parties hereto in accordance with the terms hereof.

- 50 -

(12) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
