NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the respective covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

LICENSE

1.

License of Technology: Subject to certain terms and conditions, LICENSOR hereby grants to LICENSEE each of the licenses more fully defined in Section 2 below.


  a)

Non-transferable: The license granted by this Section 1 may not be transferred or sublicensed by LICENSEE without LICENSOR’s written consent. However, LICENSEE has the right to sublicense its license to any entity within the GP Group.

     
  b)

2)

Semi-exclusivity and Non-exclusive Licenses and License Option. LICENSEE will have the following rights to produce and sell the End Products during the Term (as defined in Section 4, below) in the Territory using the Technology licensed pursuant to this Agreement.


  a)

In the Territory:


  i)

Semi-exclusive rights from the effective date until five (5) years after the Effective date, allowing LICENSEE the semi-exclusive ability to continue to manufacture the marijuana infused End Products directly or through its Partner in the Territory for the balance of the term of this Agreement as per Section 4. Semi-exclusive under this Agreement means that LICENSOR will not permit more than four (4) such licenses at any time for the marijuana-infused End Products utilizing its Technology to be granted within each single Territory, including the license granted to LICENSEE, and its named Partner if so named as provided in Section 1(a), under this Agreement.


b)

In the Territory:

Non-exclusive rights from the effective date until five (5) years after the Effective date, allowing LICENSEE the non-exclusive ability to continue to manufacture the hemp-infused End Products directly or through its Partner in the Territory for the balance of the term of this Agreement as per Section 4.

  c)

License Option:


  i)

Furthermore, until September 23, 2019, LICENSOR will with limitations reserve one license in each of the States of Colorado, Illinois, and New Jersey and the country of Canada (including all territories and provinces) for the benefit of LICENSEE to be semi-exclusive in the case of the End Products, to distribute and/or sell End Products in locations compliant with all local and state laws applicable therein; under this option arrangement (the “ License Option ”). LICENSEE shall be provided 30 calendar days notice in writing until September 23, 2019 if the final semi-exclusive license or any exclusive license available in any member state, under this License Option is under serious negotiation with another party. The LICENSEE will have the option of receiving the final semi-exclusive license therein, or an exclusive license as applicable, simply by agreeing to improve upon the financial terms offered by the party with which the Licensor is negotiating. If and only at such time as LICENSEE notifies LICENSOR that it wants to sell or cause to sell directly or through a Partner, as described in Section 1(a), any End Products utilizing the Technology in any or all of these additional states (“ Exercise of License Option ”), then LICENSEE does hereby agree to a license of the Technology for each state into which it has exercised the License Option that is substantially similar to this Agreement, including that LICENSEE agrees to pay appropriate Territory License fees and Usage fees in each state optioned in accordance with the OPTION (“ Subsequent License Agreement ”). Each Subsequent License Agreement shall have a term of not less than three (3) years from the date of signing the Subsequent Agreement. All such Subsequent License Agreements shall follow to the greatest extent possible the same terms of this Agreement. Subsequent License Agreements shall be considered “entered into by the Parties” and effective by both Parties executing a written addendum to this Agreement acknowledging that the Parties have entered into any such Subsequent License Agreement.

Lexaria Announces Human Clinical Study on CBD Absorption Underway

Kelowna, British Columbia – April 23, 2018 – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQX: LXRP) (CSE: LXX) (the “Company” or “Lexaria”), a drug delivery platform innovator, is pleased to announce that it has commenced a clinical study in Europe to evaluate the cardiovascular and cognitive health effects of Lexaria’s high absorption TurboCBD™ capsules.

The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data generated by this study will provide objective human performance findings that will assist in the development of the Company’s next-generation cannabinoid product formulations and be of significant benefit to the Company and its partners.

The study employs a double-blind and placebo-controlled cross-over design measuring TurboCBD™ effects both after a single 45mg dose and, on a separate day, after a single 90mg dose in 12 healthy male volunteers. The study hypothesises that, following TurboCBD™ supplementation, circulating CBD and nitric oxide will increase in most participants; that glucose and blood pressure will remain stable; and that vascular function, and cognitive performance will improve. The same DehydraTECH TM technology is being used to deliver CBD in this human study, as was used by the Company in its recent rodent-based nicotine absorption study, illustrating the wide applicability of the Company’s patented drug delivery platform.

This advanced study will utilize the latest clinical evaluation techniques to provide pharma-level pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic performance data of TurboCBD™, including blood sampling, physiological measures, cognitive function testing and cardiovascular function testing. Outcome measurements will include circulating CBD and nitric oxide markers, plasma glucose, plasma insulin, blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, peripheral and brain blood flow and a battery of neuropsychological performance tests.

This study was originally intended to be conducted at the University of British Columbia but policy change has resulted in a move to a medical university in Europe, where it is presently being conducted. Study results are expected within 90 days. Depending on results, a second phase clinical study in elderly is already designed and has received necessary regulatory approvals and could commence later in 2018.

Breakthrough Nicotine Absorption Results To Be Presented Tomorrow in Atlanta, GA. Separately, Lexaria announces that it is presenting the results of its recent breakthrough nicotine absorption study at the Next Generation Nicotine Delivery 2018 USA conference April 24th & 25th 2018, in Atlanta, USA. The Company has two prominent speaking appointments to present their latest ingestible nicotine absorption breakthrough: Link

Exhibit 99.2

Lexaria Enters Definitive License Agreement with California Cannabis Beverage Manufacturer

Kelowna, British Columbia – April 25, 2018 – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQX: LXRP) (CSE: LXX) (the “Company” or “Lexaria”) a drug delivery platform innovator, announces it has entered a definitive technology licensing agreement (the “Agreement”) with GP Holdings LLC. (“GP”) whereby Lexaria is providing its patented DehydraTECH TM technology to empower next-generation performance in high absorption, fast acting cannabis infused beverages to be developed and sold in California.

GP is establishing its operation as the leading THC beverage contract manufacturer in the state of California and expects the commencement of operations from its new state-of-the-art bottling facility within the next two quarters. Lexaria and GP have been collaborating for months to develop the highest performing cannabis beverages available anywhere, with nearly zero unwanted cannabis odor or flavor, and complete clarity and transparency of even sparkling beverages. More info about GP can be found at www.growpacker.com

GP has acquired 5-year semi-exclusive rights to use Lexaria’s DehydraTECH TM technology for beverage applications within California for an undisclosed sum and a royalty on revenue generated on products sold utilizing DehydraTECH TM . In addition, GP also intends to develop topical skin products using the technology and has also acquired matching rights for this application.

The California cannabis-beverage market is expected to be one of the largest edible product segments, and this agreement continues Lexaria’s progress of building an international ecosystem empowering licensed producers of all sizes with the ability to create best-of-class sector leaders. Under the terms of the semi-exclusive Agreement, Lexaria can offer other licensee partners the option of utilizing GP’s formulation and manufacturing expertise to produce cannabis infused, DehydraTECH™-powered beverages and topicals throughout the state of California.

“The use of DehydraTECH TM triggers a race to the top in the California THC beverage and topicals market through this 5-year license agreement,” said Chief Executive Officer Chris Bunka. “This is another long-term strategic relationship that will give consumers the faster acting and highly potent products they deserve, and class leading flavor profiles for the beverage segment in particular.”
