TERMINATION

1.

Events of Default.

i.

if the other Party: (a) admits its inability or is unable to pay its debts generally as they become due; (b) ceases to carry on business in the ordinary course; (c) is adjudged (or is sought by a creditor to be adjudged) a bankrupt or insolvent; (d) makes an assignment or arrangement with or for the benefit of creditors; (e) has a custodian or receiver or receiver manager or any other official with similar powers appointed for it or a substantial portion of its properties or assets and such appointment is not dismissed or discharged within thirty (30) days thereof; or (f) seeks protection from its creditors under legislation affecting the rights of creditors generally or similar legislation;

2.

Upon the occurrence of a Default by a Party hereto (the “Defaulting Party”), the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may by notice to the Defaulting Party declare the Defaulting Party to be in default and the Non-Defaulting Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, may terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement by giving notice (an “Early Termination Notice”) to the Defaulting Party, without prejudice to its rights under this Agreement accrued to the date of termination and its rights to seek damages as a result of such Default and termination.

3.

Canadian Regulatory Authority.

i.

If a Canadian Regulatory Authority or any third party challenges a Product and such challenge is reasonably likely, in the mutual determination of both Parties, to impact the commercial viability of such Product, Aphria may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Aphria Diamond, (a) terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Products that are subject to such challenge; and (b) cancel those portions of its existing Purchase Orders, without penalty or recourse by Aphria Diamond, relating to the Products that are subject to such challenge.

ii.

If a Canadian Regulatory Authority provides notice to a Party that it intends to seek the withdrawal from the market of any of the Products, either Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to challenge the Canadian Regulatory Authority’s proposed action and exhaust all avenues of redress available to such Party. If, following such challenge, the Canadian Regulatory Authority prevails in its effort to withdraw from the market any of the Products, as evidenced by a final, non-appealable administrative or legal order, then either Party may immediately upon written notice to the other Party: (a) terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Products that are subject to such withdrawal; and (b) cancel those portions of any existing Purchase Orders, without penalty or recourse, relating to the Products that are subject to such withdrawal. In the event that a Party determines not to challenge the proposed regulatory action, the other Party may immediately upon written notice to such Party terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Products (including under any Purchase Order).
