SUNDIAL GROWERS INC., a

2657408 ONTARIO INC., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario (the Corporation )
partnership formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (the [***] )
[], a trust formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario ( [] )
formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario ( [***] )
[], a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia ( [] )
corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario ( [] and together with [], [] and [], the Syndicate )
(each a Party and collectively, the Parties )
NOW THEREFORE the Parties agree as follows:
This Agreement and the other written agreements entered into on the Closing Date in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement between
the Parties pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. There are no representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, conditions, indemnities or other provisions, whether oral or written, express or implied, collateral,
statutory or otherwise, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other written agreements entered into on the Closing Date in connection herewith, except as expressly contained in this Agreement and the other written
agreements entered into on the Closing Date in connection herewith and this Agreement supersedes any and all prior and/or contemporaneous agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to such subject matter.
Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such
provision or part thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the parties waive any provision of law which renders any
provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect. The parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision which is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision, the economic effect
of which comes as near as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable provision which it replaces.
Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, no amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the
party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision nor shall any waiver of any provision of this Agreement constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly provided otherwise
herein. No investigation or waiver made by or on behalf of any Party shall have the effect of waiving, diminishing the scope of or otherwise affecting any representation or warranty made by any other Party pursuant to this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of
Canada applicable therein (excluding any conflict of law rule or principle of such laws that might refer such interpretation or enforcement to the laws of another jurisdiction). The parties hereby attorn to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.
In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any document provided pursuant to this Agreement,
then, unless such document or written acknowledgement from the Parties states that such document shall prevail in the event of such conflict, notwithstanding anything else contained in such document, the provisions of this Agreement will prevail and
the provisions of such document will be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to eliminate such conflict.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall purchase and the Shareholder shall sell the Purchased Shares for the
Purchase Price at the Closing Time.
The purchase price for the Purchased Shares shall be $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000 (the Purchase
