Item 4.            Description of Securities.

Item 5.            Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable

Item 6.            Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), or the ABCA, except in respect of an action by or on behalf of a corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (in the absence of court approval in respect of costs, charges and expenses), the Registrant may indemnify its current or former directors or officers or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer, or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor and the individuals heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding in which the individual is made a party because of his or her association with the Registrant or another entity. The ABCA also provides that the Registrant may advance monies to a director, officer or other individual for costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such a proceeding; provided that such individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions described below or is not successful on the merits in their defense of the action or proceeding.  However, indemnification is prohibited under the ABCA unless the individual (i) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the Registrant’s best interests; and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

The Registrant’s by-laws require it to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the ABCA each of the Registrant current or former directors and each person who acts or acted at the Registrant request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor (or a person who undertakes or has undertaken any liability on behalf of the Company or any such body corporate) and the individuals heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of his or her association with the Registrant or another entity.  The Registrant’s by-laws authorize it to purchase and maintain such insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers as its board of directors may determine from time to time, subject to any limitations in the ABCA.

Item 7.            Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 9.            Undertakings.

(a)           The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1)            To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which shall include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
 
(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
 
(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(b)           The undersigned Registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SCHEDULE A
TO THE PLAN OF ARRANGEMENT
 
TRANSFER UNDERTAKING
 
Terms of Shareholder Lock-Up
 
In the event that Sundial Growers Inc., an Alberta corporation (the “ Corporation ”), enters into an underwriting agreement (an “ Underwriting Agreement ”) relating to an initial public offering (the “ Offering ”) of the common shares (the “ Common Shares ”) of the Corporation by the Corporation and/or any selling shareholders (the “ Shares ”), each holder of Common Shares or common share purchase warrants of the Corporation (the “ Warrants ”) at the Effective Time and such holder’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns (each, a “ Holder ”) shall be deemed to have irrevocably agreed that, during the period beginning the date of the Underwriting Agreement and continuing to and including the date that is one year after the date of the closing of the Offering (the “ Lock-Up Period ”), subject to the release schedule set forth in the paragraph below, the Holder will not, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, assign, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of, or announce the intention to otherwise transfer or dispose of, any Common Shares, or any options or warrants to purchase any Common Shares, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Common Shares, owned directly by the Holder (including any Common Shares held by the Holder as a custodian) or with respect to which the Holder has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) or has either beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, within the meaning of Canadian securities laws that are held by the Holder immediately following the closing of the Offering, or that may be acquired by the Holder pursuant to the exercise of any Warrants held by the Holder immediately following the closing of the Offering, but excluding any Shares acquired by the Holder in the Offering (collectively the “ Holder’s Shares ”). The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the Holder from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to, or which reasonably could be expected to, lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Holder’s Shares even if such shares would be disposed of by someone other than the Holder, and to preclude any transaction that would replicate the economic effect of a sale or other disposition of the Holder’s Shares. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Holder’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such shares.
 
During the Lock-Up Period, the Holder’s Shares shall be released from these restrictions in the following manner.
 



Date of Release
Amount of Holder’s Shares Released from these Restrictions
On the first business day in the City of Calgary, in the Province of Alberta (“ Business Day ”) that is three months after the date of completion of the potential Offering (“ IPO Date ”)
25% of the Holder’s Shares issued and outstanding on that date
On the first Business Day that is six months after the IPO Date
25% of the Holder’s Shares issued and outstanding on that date
On the first Business Day that is nine months after the IPO Date
25% of the Holder’s Shares issued and outstanding on that date
On the first Business Day that is twelve months after the IPO Date
The remainder of the Holder’s Shares

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may transfer the Holder’s Shares in connection with:
 
(i)
if the Holder is a natural person, transfers of Common Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares (A) by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession, (B) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or, as a bona fide gift, an immediate family (as defined below) member of the Holder, or to any other entity that is wholly-owned by such persons, (C) transfers to any immediate family member as a bona fide gift or any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the Holder, or (D) transfers to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (A) through (C);
 
(ii)
if the Holder is a corporation, partnership or other business entity, transfers or distributions of Common Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares to members, partners, stockholders or affiliates (within the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”)) of the Holder (other than the Corporation and its controlled affiliates), including investment funds or other entities under common control or management with the Holder;
 
(iii)
transfers of Common Shares acquired by the Holder in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering (as such Common Shares will not constitute Holder’s Shares subject to these restrictions);
 
(iv)
tenders, sales or other transfers in response to a bona fide third-party takeover bid or tender offer made to all holders of Common Shares or any other acquisition transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Common Shares are acquired by a third party (provided that if such transaction is not consummated, or if the tendered Common Shares are withdrawn, the subject Common Shares shall once again become subject to the restrictions set forth herein) that, in each case, has been approved by the board of directors of the Corporation and will occur after the Offering;
 




(v)
transfers to the Corporation in connection with, and to the extent necessary to fund, the payment of taxes or exercise price due with respect to the vesting of restricted stock or vesting or exercise of similar rights to purchase Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares pursuant to the Corporation’s equity incentive plans disclosed in the U.S. registration statement and/or the Canadian prospectus relating to the Offering; and
 
(vi)
the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), or similar automatic plan in compliance with Canadian securities laws for the transfer of Common Shares, provided that such plan does not permit the transfer of Common Shares during the Lock-Up Period and no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or the insider reporting requirements of Canadian securities laws or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period by the Holder or the Corporation as a result of the establishment of any such plan;
 
provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), such transfer is not for value and each donee, heir, beneficiary or other transferee thereof agrees in writing with the Corporation to be bound by these restrictions; and provided further that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (i) through (vi), that no filing by the Holder or, with respect to clause (i), any recipient of the shares transferred, in each case, under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or the insider reporting requirements of Canadian securities laws, or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or distribution during the Lock-Up Period.
 
For purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.
 
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holder is a corporation, the corporation may transfer equity securities of the Corporation to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such corporation, provided, however, that in any such case, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement with the Corporation stating that the transferee is receiving and holding such equity securities subject to these restrictions and there shall be no further transfer of such equity securities except in accordance with these restrictions, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value.
 
The Holder now has, and, except as contemplated by clause (i) through (vi) above, for the duration of these restrictions as they apply to any of the Holder’s Shares will have, good and marketable title to the Holder’s Shares which remain subject to these restrictions, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever.
 
The Holder also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Corporation’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Holder’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
 



The Holder further agrees that it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand or request for or exercise any right with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares, or any demand or request to qualify the distribution of any such securities pursuant to the prospectus requirements of Canadian securities laws.  In addition, the Holder hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights to any anti-dilution adjustments, pre - emptive rights, participation rights, resale rights, rights of first refusal and similar rights that the Holder may have in connection with the Offering, except for any such rights as have been heretofore duly exercised.

2.6            Dividend Share Units
 
When dividends (other than stock dividends) are paid on Common Shares, additional S hare Units (“ Dividend Share Units ”) shall be credited to a Participant’s Share Unit Account as of the dividend payment date. The number of Dividend Share Units to be credited to the Participant’s Share Unit Account shall be determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Share Units held by the Participant on the relevant record date by the amount of the dividend paid by the Company on each Common Share, and dividing the result by the Fair Market Value on the dividend payment date, rounded down to the nearest whole Share Unit, which Dividend Share Units shall be in the form of RSUs or PSUs, as applicable.  Dividend Share Units credited to a Participant’s Share Unit Account in accordance with this Section 2.6 shall be subject to the same vesting conditions applicable to the related RSUs or PSUs.

An account, called a “ Share Unit Account ”, shall be maintained by the applicable Participating Company for each Participant and will be credited with such grants of RSUs, PSUs or Dividend Share Units as are received by the Participant from time to time.  Share Units that fail to vest or that are settled in accordance with Section 2.8 shall be cancelled and shall cease to be recorded in the Participant’s Share Unit Account as of the date on which such Share Units are forfeited or cancelled under the Plan or are settled, as the case may be.  Where a Participant has been granted one or more RSUs or PSUs, such RSUs and PSUs (and related Dividend Share Units) shall be recorded separately in the Participant’s Share Unit Account.

If a Participant’s employment with a Participating Company is terminated due to a Disability, the Participant’s Retirement or a termination without Cause by a Participating Company, a portion of the Participant’s unvested RSUs and related Dividend Share Units will vest as of the Termination Date. The percentage which will vest will be determined by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed from the Grant Date up to and including the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date up to and including the original Vesting Date and shall be settled as soon as practicable following the Termination Date in accordance with Section 2.8.

If a Participant’s employment with a Participating Company is terminated due to a Disability, the Participant’s Retirement or a termination without Cause by a Participating Company, (i) a portion of the Participant’s unvested PSUs and related Dividend Share Units (based on the number of days that have elapsed from the Grant Date up to and including the Termination Date) shall continue to be held by the Participant and shall vest at the same time and based on the achievement of the applicable Performance Vesting Conditions as if the Participant had remained employed by, or in the services of, a Participating Company until the Vesting Date, at which time all vested PSUs and related Dividend Share Units will be settled in accordance with Section 2.8, and (ii) all other PSUs and related Dividend Share Units held by the Participant shall terminate on the Termination Date and be of no further force or effect, and no amount shall be payable to the Participant in respect thereof as compensation, damages or otherwise . All outstanding PSUs and related Dividend Share Units that fail to vest on the Vesting Date shall automatically terminate on the Vesting Date and be of no further force or effect, and no amount shall be payable to the Participant in respect thereof as compensation, damages or otherwise.

Section 4.            General
 
4.1            Capital Adjustments
 
In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation, reclassification, spin-off or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of the Company’s assets to shareholders, or any other change in the capital of the Company affecting Common Shares, the Board will make such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Board in its discretion deems appropriate to reflect such change (for the purpose of preserving the value of the Share Units), with respect to: (i) the number or kind of shares or other securities reserved for issuance pursuant to this Plan; (ii) the number or kind of shares or other securities subject to any outstanding Share Units; (iii) the number of Share Units in the Participants’ Share Unit Accounts; and (iv) the vesting of PSUs provided, however, that no adjustment will obligate the Company to issue or sell fractional securities.  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, all adjustments made pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be made subject to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed and in compliance with paragraph 7(1.4)(c) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and/or with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(5), to the extent applicable.
 
4.2            Effect of a Change of Control
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, and subject to the provisions of the Addendum for U.S. Participants, in the event of a Change of Control, the surviving, successor or acquiring entity shall assume any outstanding Share Units or shall substitute similar share units for the outstanding Share Units. If the surviving, successor or acquiring entity does not assume the outstanding Share Units or substitute similar share units for the outstanding Share Units, or if the Board otherwise determines in its discretion, the Company shall give written notice to all Participants advising that the Plan shall be terminated effective immediately prior to the Change of Control and all RSUs (and related Dividend Share Units) and a specified number of PSUs (and related Dividend Share Units) shall be deemed to be vested and, unless otherwise settled, forfeited or cancelled in accordance with the terms of the Plan or the applicable Share Unit prior to the termination of the Plan, shall be settled immediately prior to the termination of the Plan.  The number of PSUs which are deemed to be vested shall be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, having regard to the level of achievement of the Performance Vesting Conditions prior to the Change of Control.
 

-11-


In the event of a Change of Control, the Board has the power to:  (i) make such other changes to the terms of the Share Units as it considers fair and appropriate in the circumstances, provided such changes are not adverse to the Participants; (ii) otherwise modify the terms of the Share Units to assist the Participants to tender into a takeover bid or other arrangement leading to a Change of Control, and thereafter; and (iii) terminate, conditionally or otherwise, the Share Units not settled following successful completion of such Change of Control.  If the Change of Control is not completed within the time specified therein (as the same may be extended), the Share Units which vest pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be returned by the Company to the Participant and, if settled, the Common Shares issued on such settlement shall be reinstated as authorized but unissued Common Shares and the original terms applicable to such Share Units shall be reinstated.
 
4.3            Amendment and Termination
 

(a)
The Board may amend or suspend any provision of the Plan or any Share Unit, or terminate this Plan, at any time without security holder approval, subject to those provisions of applicable law and the rules, regulations and policies of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed, if any, that require the approval of security holders or any governmental or regulatory body regardless of whether any such amendment or suspension is material, fundamental or otherwise, and notwithstanding any rule of common law or equity to the contrary. However, except as expressly set forth herein or as required pursuant to applicable law, no action of the Board or security holders may materially adversely alter or impair the rights of a Participant under any Share Unit previously granted to the Participant without the consent of the affected Participant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board may make the following types of amendments to this Plan or any Share Units without seeking security holder approval:
 

(i)
amendments of a “housekeeping” or administrative nature, including any amendment for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, error or omission in this Plan or any Award Agreement or to correct or supplement any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement that is inconsistent with any other provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement;
 

(ii)
amendments necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable law or the rules, regulations and policies of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed;
 

(iii)
amendments necessary for Share Units to qualify for favourable treatment under applicable tax laws;
 

(iv)
amendments to the vesting provisions of this Plan or any Share Unit;
 

(v)
amendments to the termination or early termination provisions of this Plan or any Share Unit, whether or not such Share Unit is held by an Insider; and
 

-12-



(vi)
amendments necessary to suspend or terminate this Plan.
 

(b)
Security holder approval will be required for the following types of amendments:
 

(i)
any amendment to increase the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under this Plan, other than pursuant to Section 4.1;
 

(ii)
any amendment that would permit the introduction or reintroduction of non-employee directors as Eligible Persons on a discretionary basis or any amendment that increases the limits previously imposed on non-employee director participation;
 

(iii)
any amendment to the amendment provisions;
 

(iv)
any amendment which would allow for the transfer or assignment of Share Units under this Plan, other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and
 

(v)
amendments required to be approved by security holders under applicable law or the rules, regulations and policies of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed.
 
4.4            Clawback
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Share Unit which is subject to recovery or recoupment under applicable laws, stock exchange listing requirements or policies adopted by the Company, will be subject to such deductions and clawbacks as may be required pursuant to such laws, stock exchange listing requirements or policies.
 
4.5            Non-Exclusivity
 
Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for the benefit of any Participant, subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approval.
 
4.6            Unfunded Plan
 
This Plan shall be unfunded and the Company will not secure its obligations hereunder.  To the extent any individual holds any rights under the Plan, such rights (unless otherwise determined by the Board) shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
 
4.7            Successors and Assigns
 
The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Participating Companies and each Participant, including without limitation, the legal representative of a Participant, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the creditors of a Participating Company or a Participant.
 

-13-


4.8            Transferability of Share Units
 
Rights of a Participant respecting Share Units shall not be transferable or assignable, except as provided in Section 3.2 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
 
4.9            No Special Rights
 
Nothing contained in the Plan or by the grant of any Share Units will confer upon any Participant any right to the continuation of the Participant’s employment by a Participating Company or any right to continue to serve as a consultant of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with the right of any Participating Company at any time to terminate a Participant’s employment or service   or to increase or decrease the compensation of a Participant.  Nothing in this Plan may be construed to provide any Participant with any rights whatsoever to compensation or damages in lieu of notice or continued participation in, or entitlements under, the Plan as a consequence of a Participant’s termination of employment (regardless of the reason for the termination and the party causing the termination, including a termination without Cause). Share Units shall not be considered Common Shares nor shall they entitle a Participant to any interest in or title to any Common Shares or to exercise voting rights or any other rights attaching to the Common Shares. Participation in the Plan by an Eligible Person shall be voluntary.
 
4.10            Other Employee Benefits
 
The amount of any compensation received or deemed to be received by a Participant as a result of his or her participation in the Plan will not constitute compensation, earnings or wages with respect to which any other employee benefits of that Participant are determined, including, without limitation, benefits under any bonus, pension, profit-sharing, insurance, termination, severance or salary continuation plan or any other employee benefit plans, nor under any applicable employment standards or other legislation, except as otherwise specifically determined by the Board.
 
4.11            Withholding Taxes
 
It is the responsibility of the Participant to complete and file any tax returns which may be required under Canadian, U.S. or other applicable jurisdiction’s tax laws within the periods specified in those laws as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, a Participant shall be solely responsible for all Applicable Withholding Taxes resulting from his or her receipt of Common Shares or other property pursuant to this Plan, provided that for U.S. Participants, the Company will withhold the employer portion of any employer payroll taxes at the time of vesting. In connection with the settlement of Share Units pursuant to this Plan, a Participant shall, at the Participant’s discretion:
 

(a)
pay to the Company an amount as necessary so as to ensure that the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions of any federal, provincial, local or other law relating to the Applicable Withholding Taxes in connection with such issuance;
 

(b)
authorize a securities dealer designated by the Company, on behalf of the Participant, to sell in the capital markets a portion of the Common Shares issued or received hereunder to realize cash proceeds to be used to satisfy the Applicable Withholding Taxes; or
 

-14-



(c)
make other arrangements acceptable to the Company to fund the Applicable Withholding Taxes.
 
4.12            No Liability
 
No Participating Company shall be liable to any Participant for any loss resulting from a decline in the market value of the Common Shares.
 
4.13            Government Regulation and Grant Restrictions
 
The Company’s obligation to issue and deliver Common Shares under any Share Unit is subject to: (i) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Common Shares or obtaining approval of such regulatory authority as the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale thereof; (ii) the admission of such Common Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which such Common Shares may then be listed; and (iii) the receipt from the Participant of such representations, agreements and undertakings as to future dealings in such Common Shares as the Company determines to be necessary or advisable in order to safeguard against the violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction.  The Company shall take all reasonable steps to obtain such approvals, registrations and qualifications as may be necessary for the issuance and delivery of such Common Shares in compliance with applicable securities laws and for the listing of such Common Shares on any stock exchange on which such Common Shares are then listed.  Share Units may not be granted with a Grant Date or effective date earlier than the date on which all actions required to grant the Share Units have been completed.
 
4.14            Priority of Agreements
 
In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail.  Unless otherwise provided herein, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement, on the one hand, and a Participant’s employment, service or consulting agreement or arrangement with a Participating Company, on the other hand, the provisions of the employment, service or consulting agreement or arrangement shall prevail.
 
4.15            Severability
 
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision and any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be severed from the Plan.
 
4.16            Effective Date
 
This Plan applies to Share Units granted hereunder on and after July 29, 2019.

2.6            Compliance with 409A

Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for the benefit of any Participant, subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approval.
 
4.6            Unfunded Plan
 
This Plan shall be unfunded and the Company will not secure its obligations hereunder.  To the extent any individual holds any rights under the Plan, such rights (unless otherwise determined by the Board) shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

Options shall not be considered Common Shares nor shall they entitle a Participant to any interest in or title to any Common Shares or to exercise voting rights or any other rights attaching to the Common Shares.  Participation in the Plan by an Eligible Person shall be voluntary.
 
4.10            Other Employee Benefits
 
The amount of any compensation received or deemed to be received by a Participant as a result of his or her participation in the Plan will not constitute compensation, earnings or wages with respect to which any other employee benefits of that Participant are determined, including, without limitation, benefits under any bonus, pension, profit-sharing, insurance, termination, severance or salary continuation plan or any other employee benefit plans, nor under any applicable employment standards or other legislation, except as otherwise specifically determined by the Board.
 

-13-

It is the responsibility of the Participant to complete and file any tax returns which may be required under Canadian, U.S. or other applicable jurisdiction’s tax laws within the periods specified in those laws as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, a Participant shall be solely responsible for all Applicable Withholding Taxes resulting from his or her receipt of Common Shares or other property pursuant to this Plan, provided that for U.S. Participants, the Company shall withhold the employer portion of any Applicable Witholding Taxes at the time of exercise.  In connection with the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to this Plan, a Participant shall, at the Participant’s discretion:
 

(a)
pay to the Company an amount as necessary so as to ensure that the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions of any federal, provincial, local or other law relating to the Applicable Withholding Taxes in connection with such issuance;
 

(b)
authorize a securities dealer designated by the Company, on behalf of the Participant, to sell in the capital markets a portion of the Common Shares issued hereunder to realize cash proceeds to be used to satisfy the Applicable Withholding Taxes; or
 

(c)
make other arrangements acceptable to the Company to fund the Applicable Withholding Taxes.
 
4.12            No Liability
 
No Participating Company shall be liable to any Participant for any loss resulting from a decline in the market value of the Common Shares.
 
4.13            Government Regulation and Grant Restrictions
 
The Company’s obligation to issue and deliver Common Shares under any Option is subject to:  (i) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Common Shares or obtaining approval of such regulatory authority as the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale thereof; (ii) the admission of such Common Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which such Common Shares may then be listed; and (iii) the receipt from the Participant of such representations, agreements and undertakings as to future dealings in such Common Shares as the Company determines to be necessary or advisable in order to safeguard against the violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction.  The Company shall take all reasonable steps to obtain such approvals, registrations and qualifications as may be necessary for the issuance and delivery of such Common Shares in compliance with applicable securities laws and for the listing of such Common Shares on any stock exchange on which such Common Shares are then listed.  Options may not be granted with a Grant Date or effective date earlier than the date on which all actions required to grant the Options have been completed.

-14-


 
4.14            Priority of Agreements
 
In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of the Plan and any Option Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail.  Unless otherwise provided herein, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of the Plan or any Option Agreement, on the one hand, and a Participant’s employment, service or consulting agreement or arrangement with a Participating Company, on the other hand, the provisions of the employment, service or consulting agreement or arrangement shall prevail.
 
4.15            Severability
 
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision and any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be severed from the Plan.
 
4.16            Effective Date

SUNDIAL GROWERS INC.
STOCK OPTION PLAN

The provisions of this Addendum apply to Options held by a U.S. Participant (or Participants who are or may become U.S. taxpayers) in order to avoid adverse or unintended tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code. All capitalized terms used in this Addendum but not defined in Section 1 below have the meanings attributed to them in the Plan.  This Addendum shall have no other effect on any other terms and provisions of the Plan except as set forth below. The terms of this Addendum shall supersede the terms of the Plan to the extent necessary to eliminate inconsistencies between this Addendum and the Plan.

1.
Definitions
 
Separation from Service ” means, with respect to a U.S. Participant, any event that may qualify as a separation from service under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). A U.S. Participant shall be deemed to have separated from service if he or she dies, retires, or otherwise has a termination of employment as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).
 
2.
Section 409A

For U.S. Participants, the Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Plan or an Option Agreement, if any provision of this Plan or an Option Agreement contravenes any regulations or guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code or would cause an Option to be subject to additional taxes, accelerated taxation, interest and/or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, such provision of this Plan or Option Agreement may be modified by the Board without the consent of the U.S. Participant in any manner the Board deems reasonable or necessary.  In making such modifications, the Board shall attempt, but shall not be obligated, to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without contravening the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.  Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary Separation from Service or as a short-term deferral will be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Board shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any additional tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Board will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.  To the extent Section 409A of the Code is applicable, each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
 
Re:
Sundial Growers Inc. – Registration Statement on Form S-8
 
We are acting as Canadian counsel to Sundial Growers Inc. (the “ Corporation ”), a corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), in connection with the registration made pursuant to the Form S-8 (the “ Registration Statement ”), filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), relating to the registration of the number of common shares of the Corporation as specified in the Registration Statement (the “ Shares ”). This opinion letter is being delivered in connection with the Registration Statement, to which it appears as an exhibit, in accordance with the requirements of   Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K   of the Securities Act.
 
Scope of Review
 
We understand that the Shares are to be issued to certain directors, officers, employees and advisors of the Corporation, as described in the Registration Statement, pursuant to the terms of certain simple and performance warrants (the “ Warrants ”), the Corporation’s Restricted and Performance Share Unit Plan and the Corporation’s Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “ Plans ”), substantially in the forms filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement.
 
We have examined such statutes, public records, corporate records and documents, have considered such matters of law and have made such enquiries of officers of the Corporation and other persons as we have considered appropriate or necessary as the basis of the opinions expressed herein.
 
In all such examinations we have assumed:
 

(a)
the genuineness of the signatures of and the authority of the persons signing documents examined by us;
 

(b)
the authenticity of all documents examined by us which were submitted to us as originals;
 

(c)
the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents examined by us which were submitted to us as certified, conformed, facsimile or photostatic copies of original documents and of all documents electronically retrieved; and
 

(d)
that the minute books, including the securities registers, of the Corporation reviewed by us are complete and accurate in all respects.
 

mccarthy.ca




As to various questions of fact material to such opinions which were not independently established, we have relied upon the Officer’s Certificate (as defined herein), government officials, regulatory authorities and certain other persons.  In particular, we have relied as to certain matters of fact on:
 

(a)
a certificate dated August 6, 2019 of an officer of the Corporation as to certain factual matters relating to the Corporation (the “ Officer’s Certificate ”);
 

(b)
the Registration Statement; and


(c)
the Warrants and the Plans.
 
While we have not performed an independent check or verification of all of the facts set out in such documents, nothing has come to our attention that leads us to believe that such documents or certificates are incorrect in any way.  Other than our review of the Officer’s Certificate, the Warrants and the Plans, and our current files for the Corporation related to this matter and inquiries of lawyers of our firm who are responsible for files related to the Corporation, we have not undertaken any special or independent investigation to confirm the accuracy of the facts contained in such materials or to determine the existence or absence of any other facts or circumstances relating to the Corporation.
 
Qualifications and Assumptions
 
Our opinion is given to you as of the effective date of the Registration Statement as determined by the SEC and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change after such date in or affecting any matter set forth herein.
 
Applicable Law
 
The opinions expressed below are limited to the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, as such laws exist and are construed as at the date hereof.
 
Opinions
 
Based and relying on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and assumptions herein set forth, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when such Shares are issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Warrants and the Plans, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC and may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose without our prior written consent. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Corporation, the Registration Statement or the Shares. Whenever our opinion refers to securities of Sundial, whether issued or to be issued, as being “fully paid”, no opinion is expressed as to the adequacy of any consideration received by the Corporation therefor.
 
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC.
 
This opinion is given solely for the use and benefit with respect to the Registration Statement, and may not be relied on by, nor may copies be delivered to any other person without our prior express written consent.
 
Yours truly,

Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors of Sundial Growers Inc.
 
We hereby consent to the incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement on Form S-8 of Sundial Growers Inc. of our report dated July 22, 2019, relating to the consolidated financial statements of Sundial Growers Inc., which appears in Sundial Growers Inc.’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 5, 2019, as amended and supplemented by Amendments No. 1 and 2 on Form F-1/A filed with the Commission on July 23, 2019 and July 30, 2019, respectively .
 
Our report dated July 22, 2019 contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has no revenue and incurred losses since inception, and has net current liabilities at December 31, 2018. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
