June 18, 2018

Computershare Investor Services Inc.
100 University Avenue, 8th Floor
Toronto, Ontario
M5J 2Y1

Attention: Michael Cagayat, Project Manager, Corporate Actions

Dear Sir:

Aurora Cannabis Inc. (“Aurora”) and MedReleaf Corp. (“MedReleaf”, and together with MedReleaf, the “Companies”) wish to engage Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”) as depositary in connection with a proposed plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) involving the Companies under an agreement dated May 14, 2018, as amended by an amending agreement dated May 24, 2018 (the “Arrangement Agreement”).

The Arrangement will be conducted by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) pursuant to section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”). Pursuant to the Arrangement, Aurora will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of MedReleaf (each a “MedReleaf Share”). In exchange, each registered holder of MedReleaf Shares (“MedReleaf Shareholders”), other than MedReleaf Shareholders who have properly exercised dissent rights in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, will receive from Aurora 3.575 common shares (each an “Aurora Share”) of Aurora (the “Share Consideration”) and $0.000001 (the “Cash Consideration”, together with the Share Consideration the “Consideration”) for each MedReleaf Share (collectively, the “Consideration”). The aggregate number of Aurora Shares to be issued to any MedReleaf Shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole Aurora Share, as applicable, with no consideration being paid for the remaining fractional share. The aggregate Cash Consideration to be paid to any MedReleaf Shareholder will be rounded up to the nearest whole $0.01, as applicable. Certain MedReleaf Shareholders will also be entitled to elect to receive only the Share Consideration (and not to receive the Cash Consideration). The Consideration will also be payable in respect of each outstanding MedReleaf deferred share unit (each a “MedReleaf DSU”).

The Companies wish to confirm the terms of Computershare’s appointment as depositary under the Arrangement.

Terms used herein without definition but with initial capital letters have the same meaning herein as in the Arrangement Agreement. Any reference herein to the Arrangement Agreement includes any amendment or modification thereof.

1.     Appointment

1.1     Computershare is hereby appointed to act as depositary, and Computershare accepts such appointment in accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement (the “Agreement”).

1.2     Computershare is to satisfy the oral or written requests of brokers, bankers and other persons for copies of the MedReleaf letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”). The Companies will supply Computershare with sufficient copies of the Letter of Transmittal for this purpose. Computershare is not authorized to offer, or to pay, any concessions or commissions to brokers, bankers or other persons, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, or to engage or request any persons to solicit deposits.


1.3     After the sixth (6th) month anniversary of the effective date of the Arrangement (the “Effective Date”), Computershare will mail to each registered MedReleaf Shareholder who has not deposited MedReleaf Shares under the Arrangement at the time of such mailing (a) a letter from Aurora reminding the MedReleaf Shareholder of the Arrangement, (b) a revised Letter of Transmittal and (c) a self-addressed envelope for use by such MedReleaf Shareholder (collectively, the “Reminder Notice”). TheReminder Notice will be sent by first class mail to the address of the MedReleaf Shareholder as shown on the register of MedReleaf Shareholders maintained by the transfer agent for the MedReleaf Shares. Upon the request of Computershare, Aurora will prepare and deliver to Computershare the form of reminder letter and Letter of Transmittal for use in the Reminder Notice.

2.     Deposit of MedReleaf Shares

2.1     Computershare is hereby authorized to accept certificates and, if applicable, Direct Registration Advices (“DRS Advices”), for MedReleaf Shares which are deposited to Computershare and to hold same upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. In doing so, Computershare will ascertain that all deposits of MedReleaf Shares under the Arrangement are accompanied by a signed and completed Letter of Transmittal, with signatures guaranteed, as applicable, the certificate(s) representing such MedReleaf Shares and all other documents that may be required to give Aurora good title to the MedReleaf Shares so deposited. References to certificates for MedReleaf Shares herein include DRS Advices.

2.2     Computershare will be entitled to treat as issued and outstanding the MedReleaf Shares represented by any certificate for MedReleaf Shares deposited under the Arrangement, if the name on such certificate conforms to the name of a registered MedReleaf Shareholder as it appears on the register of MedReleaf Shareholders maintained by the transfer agent for the MedReleaf Shares.

2.3     Computershare will direct any holder of MedReleaf Shares whose certificate for MedReleaf Shares has been lost, stolen or destroyed to submit a Letter of Transmittal completed to the best of their ability and to submit a letter describing the loss, theft or destruction. Computershare will supply a declaration of loss and indemnity bond in the forms supplied by the Companies as applicable, or the Companies will otherwise inform Computershare of the requirements to be communicated to any holder of MedReleaf Shares inquiring as to the procedures to be followed to obtain a replacement certificate for a certificate lost, stolen or destroyed and instruct such holder to properly complete such documents.

2.4     Holders of MedReleaf Legacy Options (the “Legacy Optionholders”) who conditionally exercise such MedReleaf Legacy Options in connection with the Arrangement will be required to deposit a Letter of Transmittal with Computershare under the Plan of Arrangement in respect of the MedReleaf Shares issuable upon such conditional exercise, but will not be required to deposit share certificates representing the MedReleaf Shares issued upon such conditional exercise.

2.5     All Letters of Transmittal will be dated and time stamped by Computershare when received in duly completed form (together with all other required documentation including share certificates, except as provided for in Section 2.4, representing the MedReleaf Shares).

2.6     The Companies hereby agree to the use of the Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) currently utilized by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and its Participants. It is hereby understood and agreed by the Companies that the use of ATOP requires that Computershare execute an online Letter of Agreement with DTC. The Companies hereby authorize and direct Computershare to execute the Letter of Agreement online with DTC.

Depository Agreement 2
LEGAL_29253214.9  


2.7     The Companies acknowledge and accept that the delivery by DTC of an Agent's Message (in accordance with the provisions of the ATOP Agents Procedures) to Computershare will satisfy the terms of the Arrangement as to the execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the Participant identified in such Agent's Message, without such Participant physically completing and surrendering such Letter of Transmittal.

2.8     The Companies hereby authorize and direct Computershare to use the clearing and settlement system (“CDSX”) currently utilized by CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“CDS”) and its Participants.

2.9     The Companies acknowledge and accept the use of CDSX by a Participant of CDS (in accordance with the provisions of the CDS Participant Rules) will satisfy the terms of the Arrangement as to the execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the Participant, without such Participant physically completing and surrendering such Letter of Transmittal

3.     Improper Deposits

3.1     If a Letter of Transmittal or other required document has been improperly completed or signed, or the certificate(s) representing MedReleaf Shares accompanying a Letter of Transmittal are not in proper form for deposit under the Arrangement, or some other irregularity in connection with a deposit exists, Computershare will make reasonable efforts to contact such holder of MedReleaf Shares to cause such irregularity to be corrected.

3.2     If Computershare has any doubt whether any MedReleaf Shares have been properly deposited under the Arrangement, Computershare will seek the advice of Aurora’s legal counsel, McMillan LLP, as to the acceptability of the deposit. If reasonable efforts to correct an improper deposit prove to be unsuccessful, Computershare will seek the advice of such legal counsel with respect to the procedures to be followed. Computershare will reject any deposit if, in the opinion of Aurora’s legal counsel, McMillan LLP, the deposit has been made improperly and Computershare will take such action as directed to by such legal counsel.

3.3     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of a certificate for MedReleaf Shares, the holder of such certificate must deliver to Aurora and Computershare (a) evidence satisfactory to Aurora and Computershare of the loss, theft or destruction of such certificate and (b) an indemnity bond satisfactory to Aurora and Computershare, before such MedReleaf Shares will be considered properly deposited under the Arrangement.

3.4     Subject to Section 3.3 above, Aurora will have full discretion to determine whether any type of deposit is complete and proper and Aurora has the absolute right to determine whether to accept or reject any category of deposit not in proper form.

4.     Payment

Computershare will not arrange for payment of the MedReleaf Shares until the certificate(s) (as applicable), Letters of Transmittal and all required documents are received by Computershare unless Computershare is otherwise instructed in writing by the Companies. Thereafter, for deposits of MedReleaf Shares received by Computershare on or after the Effective Date, payment will be made as soon as practicable (but in any event within five business days of such deposit).

LEGAL_29253214.9  


4.2     On or prior to the Effective Date, Aurora will issue one or more treasury directions to Computershare as transfer agent, to issue the Aurora Shares payable as the aggregate Share Consideration to be registered in the name of Computershare, in trust for the MedReleaf Shareholders entitled to receive Share Consideration, as well as a treasury direction to Computershare, as transfer agent, to issue Aurora shares payable in consideration for the MedReleaf DSU’s to be registered as directed by MedReleaf. Promptly following the Effective Time, the Companies will provide written notice to Computershare that the Effective Time has occurred.

4.3     If the Companies determine and advise Computershare in writing that delivery by mail may be delayed, Computershare will make arrangements for MedReleaf Shareholders to take delivery of the Share Consideration at Computershare’s offices at which the MedReleaf Shares were deposited until the Companies determine that delivery by mail will no longer be delayed. Any additional costs associated therewith will be paid by the Companies.

4.4     In the event of a transfer of ownership of MedReleaf Shares which is not registered in the transfer records of MedReleaf, a certificate/DRS representing the proper share payment will be delivered to a transferee if the certificate representing such MedReleaf Shares is presented to Computershare, accompanied by all documents and instruments required to evidence and effect such transfer.

4.5     All of the issued and outstanding MedReleaf Shares under the terms of the Arrangement are to be transferred to and registered in the name of Aurora as of the Effective Date.

4.6     Until deposited as described above, each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Date represented outstanding MedReleaf Shares will be deemed at any time after the Effective Date, subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, to represent only the right to receive upon such deposit, the share payment of Aurora shares, which such MedReleaf Shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to the Arrangement in exchange for the MedReleaf Shares.

4.7     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement but subject to any applicable unclaimed property laws, any certificates formerly representing MedReleaf Shares that have not been duly deposited to Computershare with all other documents as required by the Arrangement on or before the day that is six (6) years less one day from the Effective Date, will cease to represent claim or interest of any kind or nature, including a claim for dividends or other distributions, against Aurora or the Depositary by a former MedReleaf Shareholder. Upon receipt by Computershare on or before the day that is six (6) years less one day from the Effective Date of a written request from Aurora (the “Written Request”), Computershare will return to Aurora the Aurora MedReleaf Shares held by Computershare at such time in respect of such former MedReleaf Shareholders. Unless otherwise advised in writing, Computershare will continue to make payment for deposits of MedReleaf Shares received by Computershare up to and including the date that Computershare receives the Written Request.
