RE:Employment Agreement

Dear Rade:

We are pleased to offer you pursuant to the terms and conditions contained within this employment agreement (the “Agreement”) the continuing position of President of Canopy Growth Corporation (the “Company”), reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, once appointed, and in the interim serving at the pleasure of the Board of Directors (the “Board”).

1.	Duties and Responsibilities

As President, you will report to and comply with the directions of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, once appointed, and in the interim, to those of the Board of Directors. Your primary duties are set out in the job description attached to this agreement as Schedule “A”. You agree to perform the duties of your position diligently and to the best of your ability. We may need to make reasonable changes to these duties as necessary, to achieve our organizational objectives and you agree to accept those changes provided that reasonable notice of those changes is provided to you in advance.

2.	Effective Date

The Term and terms of this Agreement shall commence on December 12, 2019, or such other date that may be mutually agreed between you and the Company.

3.	Location of Work

The Company’s head office is located at 0 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, XX. However, the Company operates on a global scale. You will be expected to travel throughout the world, on a not infrequent basis, in order to satisfy the terms of this Agreement.

Policies

It will be a condition of your employment with the Company that you adhere to all Company rules and policies. The Company reserves the right to revise, revoke, or introduce new rules and policies, as the Company may deem necessary from time to time, and you will also be required to abide by any changes in the rules and policies, once they come into effect.

5.	Compensation and Benefits

You will be paid a Base Salary of six hundred thousand dollars (CAD$600,000.00) per year subject to statutory and benefits deductions. The Board will review such salary on an annual basis. For greater certainty, the Base Salary shall be retroactive to July 1, 2019 and payable in one lump sum on the next possible payroll.

In addition to your Base Salary, you are eligible for a short term annual incentive performance bonus of 75% of your Base Salary (the “Target Award”), with a payout range of 0-2x the Target Award based on the achievement of certain mutually developed financial/operational/strategic and individual performance objectives which have been developed jointly with the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer, and approved by the Board (“STI”).

You will continue to be eligible to participate in Canopy Growth’s Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan, as approved by the Board and as amended from time to time (the “Stock Option Plan”). Except as otherwise provided below, the vesting and exercise of equity is governed by the Stock Option Plan and related documentation. Equity will not vest during any period of notice or pay in lieu of notice in connection with the resignation of your employment or termination of employment without cause. Unvested options on termination or resignation will expire as per the terms and conditions of the Stock Option Plan. The termination date for the purpose of your entitlement in respect of any equity that you are granted by the Board will be the date that either you or the Company provide the other with notice of resignation or termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Options or RSUs held by you at the time of your termination (but which for greater certainty shall not include any granted as of or following the signing of this Agreement) shall continue to vest for a one year period following your termination provided it was without cause.

Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, you will be eligible to receive an annual long term award of 300% your Base Salary, which utilizes the Fair Market Value share price (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) (“FMV price”) on the grant date, 50% of which shall be in the form of stock options (“Options”) and 50% of which shall be in the form of performance share units (“PSUs”) subject to the Board’s discretion (“LTI”) and which annual granting practice shall commence in FY21, but in no event occur later than July 1, 2020. The LTI shall vest based on the achievement of certain mutually developed financial/operational/strategic and individual performance objectives which have been developed jointly with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and approved by the Board.

The Company will reimburse you for tax, legal and accounting advice relating to this agreement to a maximum amount of CAD$15,000.

In addition to the LTI described above, at the next available Board Meeting at which equity may be granted following your execution of this Agreement, the Chief Executive Officer shall recommend to the Board that the Board approve the following:

Inducement Grant

A grant of Options of CAD$1,350,000 using the FMV price on the Date of Grant (which shall be set based on the closing price of the Company stock on December 12, 2019), which shall, subject to meeting the conditions set out in i, ii and iii, vest in three equal portions on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the Date of Grant and have a six-year term (the "Term"). The number of stock options to be granted will be determined by dividing the grant value by the FMV and multiplied by 2 (i.e. each option is worth 50% of the FMV price). In addition to the aforementioned time-based vesting, the Options shall also require the following performance objectives to be met in order to vest:

CAD$450,000 of the Options shall only vest if during any 90- day period during the Term, the Company’s average closing stock price on the TSX has appreciated by a minimum of 50% from the stock closing price on December 6, 2019;

ii.

CAD$450,000 of the Options shall only vest if as at the end of any fiscal year of the Company during the Term, Audited Annual Revenue of $2.50 billion is achieved by the Company for such fiscal year ended, as confirmed by the auditors of the Company ; and

iii.

CAD$450,000 of the Options shall only vest if as at the end of any fiscal year of the Company during the Term, a CAD$100M CAET, as defined below is achieved for such fiscal year ended, as confirmed by the auditors of the Company.

Comparable Adjusted EBITDA (CAET) means, for any fiscal year of the Company, Adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal year further adjusted to remove any individual non-core market with negative Adjusted EBITDA outside of the Company’s core markets, which for greater certainty are Canada, UK, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Chile and Brazil, as long as the negative Adjusted EBITDA is in-line with the Board approved plan such removed market.

For greater certainty, when used herein Adjusted EBITDA means, for any fiscal year of the Company, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of the Company as set forth in the financial statements for the Company for such fiscal year then ended, adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs including SBC, and other non-cash items pursuant to past practices and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board.

You will be covered for all reasonable business expenses as outlined in the Corporate Travel & Expense Policy.

As of the commencement of the Term of this Agreement if not already, you will be entitled to apply for the health and insurance benefits offered to executive employees. The terms and carrier of the Company’s health and insurance benefits are subject to change from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Employee agrees that, within five years of your start date, and thereafter throughout your employment and for one year post the ending of your employment, the Employee shall maintain ownership of a minimum of three times the Base Salary in the Company’s equity, which may include RSU ownership, but not stock options and performance share units.

Vacation Entitlement

Subject to the requirements of the Employment Standards Act, 2000, you will be entitled to six (6) weeks vacation time per vacation entitlement year. All such vacation time is to be scheduled in accordance with business requirements.

You will also be entitled to vacation pay in the following amounts:

For the first five years of your employment, 4% of your Wages earned, excluding vacation pay.

ii)

After your fifth year of service, 6% of your Wages earned, excluding vacation pay.

For the purpose of this section “Wages” has the definition assigned to it in the Employment Standards Act, 2000.

Any vacation time that you take in any given year shall count first towards your statutory entitlement and then towards any additional vacation time to which you are entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. You may carry-over a maximum of ten (10) days of vacation time with the approval of the Board.

You agree that if you have received vacation pay before it is earned, then the Company may deduct the applicable amount from any payments owing to you when your employment ends.

6.	End of Employment

Although it is difficult to contemplate ending our relationship when it is just beginning, it is mutually beneficial to determine our respective obligations ahead of time. Accordingly, your employment may cease under any of the following circumstances:

Resignation

You may resign from your employment by giving us not less four (4) weeks’ written notice.

At the Company’s sole option, the Company may waive the obligation for you to work in active employment during the period following the tendering of such notice of resignation. If the Company elects to exercise its option to waive the obligation to work during the notice of resignation period, then you will be provided with a payment in lieu of Base Salary equal to the minimum amount of notice of termination as is required to be provided to you pursuant to the provisions of Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000.

ii)

Termination Without Cause

If the Company elects to terminate your employment for reasons other than just cause, then it may do so, for any reason not prohibited by statute, by providing you with the following:

(a)

The greater of:

seventy eight weeks’ notice or payment of Base Salary in lieu of such notice; and

ii.

the minimum amount of notice or pay in lieu of notice as is required to be provided to you pursuant to the provisions of Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000;

(b)

one and a half times the average actual amounts paid as STI during the prior two years;

(c)

in addition to (b) pro rated STI for the year worked to the date of termination based on paragraph 5

(d)

Any statutory severance pay that may be required to be provided to you pursuant to the provisions of the Employment Standards Act, 2000; and

(e)

The continuation of any statutorily prescribed benefits for the minimum amount of time prescribed by the provisions of the Employment Standards Act, 2000.

The Employee understands and agrees that as a condition of receiving any payments pursuant to the above paragraph 8(ii)(a) that exceed the statutory entitlements provided by the ESA, the Employee will be required to execute a release in favor of the Company, immediately execute written resignations from any position as officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as immediately comply with section 7 of the Intellectual Property and Confidential Information Agreement. The Employee also understands and agrees that the Employee shall be obligated to use all reasonable efforts to mitigate any and all damages suffered as a result of termination, with all remuneration received as a result of such mitigation forming a credit to those payments that are due by the Company to the Employee pursuant to paragraph 8(ii)(a), which are in excess of the statutory entitlements provided by the ESA.

If you are then participating in any incentive compensation plan/program, then incentive compensation (if any) owing to you will be calculated and paid out in the usual manner and at the usual time in accordance with the terms of the applicable

plan/program then in effect, but subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plan on termination or resignation of employment.

Notwithstanding anything in this agreement, the Company guarantees that you will at all times receive your minimum entitlements under the governing employment standards legislation in force at the time of your termination from employment.

Any payments made pursuant to the above provisions are in full satisfaction of any amounts owing to you including statutory entitlements and common law damages in any way related to your employment.

You specifically acknowledge that by entering into this agreement you are hereby forfeiting your right to claim common law notice of termination, which may be greater than the amount of notice required to be provided to you pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

These termination provisions will apply throughout your employment with the Company regardless of any changes to your salary, benefits, position title, or job responsibilities.

iii)

Termination For Cause

The Company may terminate your employment for just cause at any time without notice, pay in lieu of notice, severance pay, or other liability. For the purposes of this agreement, just cause includes, but is not limited to any conduct that constitutes just cause at common law as well as the following:

You understand these provisions and agree that they are reasonable in light of all of the circumstances, including the availability to you of employment in areas and fields that are not restricted by this agreement.

it was rightfully in your possession prior to your employment with the Company;

ii)

it was publicly available through legitimate means; or

iii)

it was received by you in a non-confidential manner from a third party that was not under obligation to the Company to maintain such information in confidence.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the date hereof such jurisdictions include Canada, USA, Brazil, Colombia, Czech Republic, Germany, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Lesotho, Poland and Italy.

It is not our intention to unduly restrict your employment prospects. Accordingly, the Company may agree to waive this provision if we are able to establish appropriate safeguards to minimize the impact any proposed employment with a competitor will have on the Company’s business interests. Any such waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company.

You further agree to indemnify and save harmless the Company against all losses, costs, damages, expenses, penalties, fines and other amounts for which it may be found liable at law with respect to your breach of any such agreement.

General

This agreement constitutes our entire employment agreement and supersedes any previous written or verbal agreements between us. If any term of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity or enforceability of any other provision will not be affected.

This agreement will continue to govern our employment relationship regardless of any changes to your employment including, but not limited to, changes to your position, location of employment, hours of work, compensation and benefits.

Any modifications to this agreement must be in writing and signed by both of us. No waiver of a breach of any term of this agreement is binding unless it is in writing and signed by the party waiving it. Unless otherwise specified, the waiver will be limited to the specific breach waived.

In the event that any provision or part of this Agreement is deemed void or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions or parts shall be and remain in full force and effect.

This agreement is governed by the laws of the province of Ontario. References in this agreement to the Employment Standards Act, 2000, SO 2000, c 41 include any amendments or successor legislation.

I have had sufficient time to review this agreement and have been advised to review it with a lawyer. If I did not do so, it is because I understood the terms of the Employer’s offer and did not feel that I needed legal advice.
