(b)The Purchased Notes and Purchased Warrants will be offered and sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or under applicable states securities laws, in reliance upon an exemption therefrom. Neither the Seller nor any other person has any obligation or intent to

(c)As of the Settlement Date, as a result of this Agreement, (i) the Purchaser shall become a party to the MedMen SPA as a Holder and, to the extent of the interests assigned pursuant to this Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Holder thereunder, and (ii) the Seller shall, to the extent of the interests assigned pursuant to this Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the MedMen SPA.
2.Closing and Payment.
(a)Delivery of the Seller’s interest in such applicable Purchased Notes and Purchased Warrants shall be made to the Purchaser concurrently with the execution of this Agreement.

(b)Payment in the form of Cash Consideration shall be made on the date hereof, or such later date as the parties shall mutually agree (such date being herein called the “Settlement Date”). Payment in the form of Consideration Shares shall be made within five business days following the date on which Tilray’s shareholders approve (such date, the “Approval Date”) an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock of Tilray in an amount sufficient to issue the Consideration Shares and an amount reasonably expected to be sufficient to issue the Top-Up Shares (as mutually agreed with the Seller) (such date being herein called the “Consideration Shares Payment Date”); provided, however, that, if the Approval Date has not occurred by the close of NASDAQ market trading on December 1, 2021, the Seller may, by providing written notice to the Purchaser, elect to receive an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Closing Date Share Consideration Amount in lieu of the Consideration Shares, such cash payment to be made by Purchaser to the Seller in accordance with Schedule III by the applicable wire transfer identified on Schedule IV in immediately available funds on the date that is no later than the third business day following Purchaser’s receipt of such election from the Seller.
(c)Tilray shall file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, in its sole discretion, either a prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b) to its current Registration Statement on Form S-3 (333-233703) or a new resale registration statement on Form S-3 (in either case, the “Registration Statement”) to register the resale by the Seller of the Consideration Shares and any reasonably expected Top-Up Shares (as mutually agreed with the Seller), if any, within five business days following the Approval Date (the date on which the prospectus supplement is filed or the Registration Statement becomes effective, as applicable, the “Registration Effective Date”). In connection therewith, Tilray and the Seller agree to comply with their respective obligations set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
(d)Within three business days following the earlier of (i) the Registration Effective Date and (ii) December 1, 2021 (such earlier date, the “Measurement End Date”), in the event
2
that the Share Price on the trading day immediately preceding the Announcement Date is greater than the Share Price on the trading day immediately preceding the Measurement End Date, provided that neither the Seller nor any Affiliated Fund, as applicable, has Divested any Consideration Shares, the Purchaser shall deliver, or direct such delivery of, the Top-Up Shares to the Seller in accordance with Schedule III. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Consideration Shares have not been issued to the Seller and the Affiliated Funds prior to December 1, 2021, neither the Seller nor any Affiliated Fund will have any entitlement to Top-Up Shares and in no circumstances will any cash payment be made in lieu of the issuance of Top-Up Shares.

Exhibit A
Registration Rights
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings given such terms in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached. Additionally, certain capitalized terms are defined in Section (i) below.
(a)Registration.
|
| (i) | Tilray’s obligation to include the Seller’s Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement is contingent upon the Seller furnishing in writing to Tilray such information regarding the Seller, the securities of Tilray held by the Seller and the intended method of distribution of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by Tilray to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Seller shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Tilray may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. Tilray shall, in the case of a newly filed Registration Statement, cause such Registration Statement to become effective upon filing with the Commission under the U.S. Securities Act and, in the case of a prospectus supplement or a newly filed Registration Statement, to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the U.S. Securities Act during the Effectiveness Period. |
|
| (ii) | If the Registration Statement covering resales of the Registrable Securities ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because all securities registered thereunder shall have been resold pursuant thereto or shall have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities), Tilray shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and amend the Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional Registration Statement with the Commission so that all Registrable Securities outstanding as of the date of such filing are covered by a Registration Statement. If a new Registration Statement is filed, Tilray shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the new Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as is practicable after such filing and to keep the new Registration Statement continuously effective until the end of the Effectiveness Period. |
|
| (iii) | Tilray shall amend and supplement the Prospectus and amend the Registration Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used |
Ex-1
|
| by Tilray for such Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement, if required by the U.S. Securities Act, or any other documents necessary to name a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder pursuant to Section (a)(v). |
|
| (iv) | [Reserved]. |
|
| (v) | The Seller may sell Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and related Prospectus only in accordance with this Section (a)(v) and Section (b)(vii). The Seller wishing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Documents shall deliver a completed Notice and Questionnaire to Tilray prior to any intended distribution of Registrable Securities under the Resale Documents. From and after the Registration Effective Date, Tilray shall, as promptly as practicable after the date completed Notice and Questionnaires from one or more Notice Holders holding at least 238,795 Registrable Securities are delivered, and in any event no later than the later of (x) twenty (20) calendar days after such date or (y) twenty (20) calendar days after the expiration of any Deferral Period in effect when the Notice and Questionnaire are delivered or put into effect within five (5) Business Days of such delivery date (but in any event, not more than once in any fiscal quarter): |
|
| (A) | if required by applicable law, use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or prepare and, if required by applicable law, file a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file a new Registration Statement or any other required document so that the Seller delivering such Notice and Questionnaire is named as a selling securityholder in a Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit the Seller to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law and, if Tilray shall file a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or shall file a new Registration Statement, Tilray shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment or new Registration Statement to be declared or become effective under the U.S. Securities Act as promptly as is practicable; |
|
| (B) | provide the Seller, upon request and without charge, copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section (a)(v)(A); and |
Ex-2
|
| (C) | notify Special Counsel as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the U.S. Securities Act of any new Registration Statement or post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section (a)(v)(A); |
provided that if such Notice and Questionnaire are delivered during a Deferral Period, Tilray shall so inform the Seller delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above upon expiration of the Deferral Period in accordance with Section (b)(vii). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) Tilray shall be under no obligation to name the Seller that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in any Registration Statement or related Prospectus and (ii) if the Commission prevents Tilray from including any or all of the Shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares held by a Notice Holder or any other Notice Holder or otherwise, the number of Shares to be registered for each Notice Holder in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling securityholders such that the Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted by the Commission.
|
| (b) | Registration Procedures. In connection with the registration obligations of Tilray under Section (a) Tilray shall: |
|
| (i) | Before filing any Resale Documents with the Commission (other than a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference as a result of filing or furnishing a Current Report on Form 8-K), furnish to the Notice Holders and the Special Counsel of such offering, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed at least three Business Days prior to the filing of such Resale Documents (other than supplements that do nothing more than name Notice Holders and provide information with respect thereto). |
|
| (ii) | Subject to Section (b)(vii), use reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments), supplements and any other required document to each Resale Document as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective during the Effectiveness Period; and use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the provisions of the U.S. Securities Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the Effectiveness Period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or such Prospectus as so supplemented. |
|
| (iii) | As promptly as practicable give notice to the Special Counsel, (A) when any Resale Document has been filed with the Commission and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any |
Ex-3
|
| post-effective amendment, when the same has been declared effective (other than supplements that do nothing more than name Notice Holders and provide information with respect thereto), (B) of any request, following the Registration Effective Date under the U.S. Securities Act, by the Commission or any other federal, provincial or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to any Resale Documents or for additional information, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Resale Documents or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) of the receipt by Tilray of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (E) of the occurrence of, but not the nature of or details concerning, a Material Event and (F) of the determination by Tilray that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement will be filed with the Commission, which notice may, at the discretion of Tilray (or as required pursuant to Section (b)(vii)) state that it constitutes a Deferral Notice, in which event the provisions of Section (b)(vii) shall apply. |
|
| (iv) | Use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction in which they have been qualified for sale, in either case at the earliest reasonable practicable date, except that Tilray shall not for any such purpose be required to (A) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (iv) be obligated to be so qualified, (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. |
|
| (v) | During the Effectiveness Period, deliver to each Notice Holder and the Special Counsel, in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, without charge, copies of the Prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Notice Holder may reasonably request; and Tilray hereby consents (except during such periods that a Deferral Notice is outstanding and has not been revoked) to the use of such Prospectus or each amendment or supplement thereto by each Notice Holder in connection with any offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such |
Ex-4
|
| Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in the manner set forth therein. |
|
| (vi) | Prior to any public offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Notice Holders and the Special Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Notice Holder reasonably requests in writing to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (which request may be included in the Notice and Questionnaire); provided that Tilray will not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Agreement or (ii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in suits or to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. |
|
| (vii) | Upon (w) the issuance by the Commission of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to a Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the U.S. Securities Act, (x) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any fact (a “Material Event”) as a result of which a Registration Statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any Prospectus shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (y) the occurrence of any event that requires the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement under the U.S. Securities Act or the U.S. Exchange Act or (z) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development that, in the reasonable discretion of Tilray, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and the related Prospectus: |
|
| (A) | in the case of clause (x) above, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as practicable prepare and file, if necessary pursuant to applicable law, a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other |
Ex-5
|
| required document that would be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement and Prospectus so that such Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such Prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is practicable; |
|
| (B) | in the case of clause (y) above, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as practicable prepare and file, if necessary pursuant to applicable law, a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is practicable; and |
|
| (C) | in any event, give notice to the Special Counsel that the availability of a Registration Statement is suspended (a “Deferral Notice”). |
Tilray will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed (i) in the case of clause (w) above, as promptly as is practicable, (ii) in the case of clauses (x) or (y) above, as soon as, in the sole judgment of Tilray, public disclosure of such Material Event would not be prejudicial to or contrary to the interests of Tilray or, if necessary to avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as practicable thereafter and (iii) in the case of clause (z) above, as soon as in the reasonable discretion of Tilray, such suspension is no longer appropriate. Any such period during which the availability of the Registration Statement and any Prospectus is suspended (the “Deferral Period”) shall not exceed forty-five (45) days in any ninety (90)-day period or an aggregate of ninety (90) days in any twelve (12)-month period.
|
| (viii) | If requested in writing in connection with a disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Documents, cause the appropriate officers, directors and employees of Tilray and its subsidiaries to make reasonably available for inspection during normal business hours on reasonable notice all relevant information reasonably requested by such representative for the Notice Holders, or any such broker-dealers, attorneys or accountants in connection with such disposition, in each case as is customary for similar “due diligence” examinations; provided that such persons shall first agree |
Ex-6
|
| in writing with Tilray that any non-public information shall be used solely for the purposes of satisfying “due diligence” obligations under the U.S. Securities Act and exercising rights hereunder and shall be kept confidential by such persons, unless (x) disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order or is necessary to respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities, (y) such information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by any such person or (z) such information becomes available to any such person from a source other than Tilray and such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement, and provided further that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall, to the greatest extent possible, be coordinated on behalf of all the Notice Holders and the other parties entitled thereto by the Special Counsel; and provided further that Tilray shall not be required to provide commercially sensitive materials to direct competitors of Tilray. Any person legally compelled to disclose any such confidential information made available for inspection shall as soon as practicable provide Tilray with prior written notice of such requirement so that Tilray may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and such person shall take such actions as reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information (if practicable) to the extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interest of the Seller. |
|
| (ix) | Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its securityholders earning statements (which need not be audited) satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the U.S. Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act) for a twelve (12)-month period commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of Tilray commencing after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall be made available no later than sixty (60) days after the end of the twelve (12)-month period or ninety (90) days if the twelve (12)-month period coincides with the fiscal year of Tilray, and which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if Tilray timely files complete and accurate information on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K under the U.S. Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the U.S. Securities Act or any successor rule thereto. |
|
| (x) | [Reserved]. |
|
| (xi) | Provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement. |
Ex-7
|
| (xii) | Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Consideration Shares and any Top-Up Shares covered by the Registration Statement to be listed or quoted, as the case may be, on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which Tilray’s common stock is then listed or quoted. |
|
| (c) | Seller’s Obligations. |
|
| (i) | The Seller agrees, by acquisition of the Registrable Securities, that no Seller shall be entitled to sell any of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto, unless the Seller has furnished Tilray with a completed Notice and Questionnaire as required pursuant to Section (a)(v) and the information set forth in the next sentence. Each Notice Holder agrees promptly to furnish to Tilray all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to Tilray by such Notice Holder not misleading and any other information regarding such Notice Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as Tilray may from time to time reasonably request. Any sale of any Registrable Securities by the Seller shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Seller that the information relating to the Seller and its plan of distribution is as set forth in the Prospectus delivered by the Seller in connection with such disposition, that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale contain any untrue statement of a material fact relating to or provided by the Seller or its plan of distribution and that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale omit to state any material fact relating to or provided by the Seller or its plan of distribution necessary to make the statements in such Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Seller further agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement without delivering, or, if permitted by applicable securities law, making available, to the purchaser thereof a Prospectus in accordance with the requirements of applicable securities laws. The Seller further agrees that the Seller will not make any offer relating to the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus, unless it has obtained the prior written consent of Tilray. |
|
| (ii) | Upon receipt of any Deferral Notice, each Notice Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement until such Special Counsel’s receipt of |
Ex-8
|
| copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus, or until it is advised in writing by Tilray that the Prospectus may be used. |
|
| (d) | Registration Expenses. Tilray shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance by Tilray of its obligations under Sections (a) and (b) whether or not any Registration Statement is declared effective. Such fees and expenses shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (x) with respect to filings required to be made with FINRA and the Commission and (y) of compliance with federal, provincial and state securities or “blue sky” laws (including, without limitation, and subject to clause (vii) below, reasonable fees and disbursements of the Special Counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as Notice Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement may designate)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Tilray), (iii) all reasonable expenses of any persons in preparing or assisting in preparing, word processing, printing and distributing any Resale Document, and any securities sales agreements and other documents relating to the performance of and compliance with this Agreement, (iv) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Tilray in connection with any Resale Documents, (v) reasonable fees and disbursements of the registrar and transfer agent for the Shares, (vi) U.S. Securities Act liability insurance obtained by Tilray in its sole discretion and (vii) the reasonable and documented or invoiced fees and disbursements of Special Counsel. In addition, Tilray shall pay the internal expenses of Tilray (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing by Tilray of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange on which similar securities of Tilray are then listed and the fees and expenses of any person, including special experts, retained by Tilray. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section (d), each seller of Registrable Securities shall pay any fees and disbursements of such seller’s counsel, broker’s commission, agency fee or underwriter’s discount or commission in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities under a Resale Document. |
|
| (e) | Specific Performance. In the event of actual or potential breach by Tilray of any of its obligations under Section 2(c) of the Agreement and this Exhibit A, the Seller will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under Section 2(c) of the Agreement and this Exhibit A. Tilray agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions |
Ex-9
|
| of Section 2(c) of the Agreement or this Exhibit A and further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. |
|
| (f) | Indemnification. |
|
| (i) | Tilray agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Notice Holder, each person, if any, who controls any Notice Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act or Section 20 of the U.S. Exchange Act, any underwriter (as defined in the U.S. Securities Act) for such Notice Holder, and each affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of any Notice Holder within the meaning of Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim), as incurred, caused by or that are based upon or arise as of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Resale Document or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it or authorized by it in writing for use by such Notice Holder (as amended or supplemented if Tilray shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, except to the extent such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Notice Holder furnished to Tilray in writing by or on behalf of such Notice Holder expressly for use therein; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Notice Holder (or to the benefit of any person controlling such Notice Holder) from whom the person asserting such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Registrable Securities, if a copy of the Prospectus or the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (both as then amended or supplemented if Tilray shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Notice Holder to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to such person, and if the Prospectus or the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (both as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, unless such failure is the result of noncompliance by Tilray under this Agreement. |
|
| (ii) | Each Notice Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless Tilray and its directors, its officers who |
Ex-10
|
| sign any Registration Statement or Prospectus, each underwriter, broker or other person acting on behalf of the Notice Holder and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing persons (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act or Section 20 of the U.S. Exchange Act) or any other Notice Holder, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from Tilray to such Notice Holder, but only (i) to the extent such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based solely upon information relating to such Notice Holder furnished to Tilray in writing by or on behalf of such Notice Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) to the extent that such Notice Holder fails to send or deliver a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if Tilray shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), but only if (A) the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities and (B) such failure is not the result of noncompliance by Tilray under this Agreement. In no event shall the liability of any Notice Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Notice Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Notice Holder may otherwise have. |
|
| (iii) | In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section (f)(i) or (ii), such person (the “Registration Rights Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Registration Rights Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Registration Rights Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Registration Rights Indemnified Party to represent the Registration Rights Indemnified Party and any others the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding; provided that the failure of any Registration Rights Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party. In any such proceeding, any Registration Rights Indemnified Party |

| shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Registration Rights Indemnified Party unless (i) the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party and the Registration Rights Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Registration Rights Indemnified Party in any such proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party and the Registration Rights Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any Registration Rights Indemnified Party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Registration Rights Indemnified Parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section (f)(i), the Seller of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement held by Sellers that are Registration Rights Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section (f)(i) and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section (f)(ii), Tilray. The Registration Rights Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Registration Rights Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Registration Rights Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Registration Rights Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Registration Rights Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Registration Rights Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Registration Rights Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. |

| Party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Registration Rights Indemnifying Party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Registration Rights Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Registration Rights Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party or parties on the one hand and the Registration Rights Indemnified Party or parties on the other hand or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party or parties on the one hand and of the Registration Rights Indemnified Party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by Tilray shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the initial issuance of the Notes to which such losses, claims, damages or liabilities relate. The relative benefits received by the Seller shall be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving registration rights under this Agreement for the Registrable Securities. The relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and Tilray on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Sellers or by Tilray, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. The Sellers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section (f)(iv) are several in proportion to the respective number of Registrable Securities they have sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, and not joint. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section (f)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by a Registration Rights Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Registration Rights Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding this Section (f)(iv), no Registration Rights |

| Indemnifying Party that is a selling Seller shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by the Seller from the sale of the Registrable Securities. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the U.S. Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. |
|
| (v) | The remedies provided for in this Section (f) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to a Registration Rights Indemnified Party at law or in equity, hereunder, under the Agreement or otherwise. |
|
| (vi) | The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section (f) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of the Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Seller, any person controlling the Seller or any affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Seller or by or on behalf of Tilray, its officers or directors or any person controlling Tilray and (iii) the sale of any Registrable Securities by the Seller pursuant to the Registration Statement. |
|
| (g) | Information Requirements. Tilray shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the U.S. Exchange Act or the U.S. Securities Act. |

Tilray is not, as of the date hereof, a party to, nor shall it, on or after the date of the Agreement, enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that conflicts with the rights granted to the Sellers in the Agreement including this Exhibit A. Tilray represents and warrants that the rights granted to the Sellers hereunder do not in any way conflict with the rights granted to the holders of Tilray’s securities under any other agreements. |
