The purpose of this letter is to amend the LOI to:

	1.	extend the termination date therein. As we have discussed, the “Termination Date” for all purposes under the LOI is hereby amended to be December 15, 2018, and

	2.	define the LOI referenced CAD$5,000,000 Subscription Agreement purchase dates, amount and price per share; as follows:

	a.	CG will purchase a Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. USD$500,000 Subscription Agreement (“Sub-Agree #1”), at a per share price of USD$0.92 as calculated under the terms of the 10-10-18 LOI, no later than November 15, 2018.

	b.	CG will purchase a 2^nd Subscription Agreement (“Sub-Agree #2”) from NVOS no later than December 15, 2018. The full amount of Sub-Agree #2 will be determined by calculating the USD-to-CAD conversion of USD$500,000, Sub-Agree #1, and subtracting this amount from the CAD$5,000,000 Subscription Agreement total amount defined in the LOI, dated 10-10-18. The per share price of Sub-Agree #2 will be USD$0.92 as calculated under the terms of the LOI, dated 10-10-18, and

define the source of any currency conversion as the rate quoted on x-rates.com for the date of conversion.

The LOI, as amended herein, shall remain in full force and effect.

Attention: Ray Rasouli

Re: Letter of Intent for the purchase of Novo Integrated Sciences Inc. shares and the contemplated merger of Novo Integrated Sciences Inc. and CannaPiece Group Inc.

This binding letter of intent (“LOI” or “Letter”), is to generally record terms and conditions of the proposed agreement whereby Novo Healthnet Limited, an Ontario corporation (“NHL”) will enter into a joint venture relationship with CannaPiece Group Inc. (“CG”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario. In addition, CG will also invest into NHL’s parent company, Novo Integrated Sciences Inc. (“NVOS”), a company incorporated in the state of Nevada whose shares are traded publicly in the OTCQB. CG and NVOS will also enter into a share exchange agreement resulting in each company having mutual interest in the other.

This Letter is a binding agreement between us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and confirm it is their intention that this Letter will serve only as a preliminary interim agreement in relation to the matters described herein, which will apply until the Definitive Agreement (as defined below) is concluded.

The following paragraphs reflect our preliminary agreement with respect to the Transaction (as defined below):

Structure: The parties intend to enter into a subscription agreement and a share exchange or other similar business arrangement (the “Transaction”) in which:

	i.	Prior to, and as a condition of closing, CG will take the necessary and appropriate steps required to ensure that the corporation is properly registered, and all subsidiaries properly organized and identified.

	ii.	CG will purchase through a subscription agreement five million Canadian dollars (CAD $5,000,000) in value of NVOS shares. The share price will be determined by a thirty-day closing average based on the thirty day period ending on the date of execution in counterpart of this LOI, and the application of a market acceptable discount to the determined average. In addition, CG, NHL and NVOS will enter into a share exchange arrangement whereby (a) NHL will own or control twenty five percent (25%) of all common stock of CG upon closing of the Transaction, and (b) CG will own or control twenty-five million Canadian dollars (CAD $25,000,000) worth of NVOS stock, which value shall be established by a 30-day closing average based on the thirty day period ending on the date of execution of this LOI, and the application of a market acceptable discount to the determined average. The twenty-five million Canadian dollar (CAD $25,000,000) value is based on a pre-revenue, post-licensing evaluation of CG in the amount of one hundred million Canadian dollars (CAD $100,000,000).

	iii.	NVOS shall have the right to appoint one board member on the CG board of directors and CG shall have the right to appoint one board member on the NVOS board of directors.

	v.	CG will enter into a case conference program with applicable Novo network stakeholders.
