1. Amending Original Settlement. This Agreement shall supersede and replace the Original Settlement agreement in its entirety.

3. Consideration. As consideration for the SD Lease Assignment set forth in 1(c) of this Agreement, BaM shall issue up to three (3) payments of shares as follows:

 

a. Payment 1. The first payment shall be Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) of vested BaM shares calculated upon execution of this Agreement at the maximum discount allowed by the Canadian Stock Exchange (the “Payment 1 Shares”). Within three (3) days following the execution of this Agreement, the Payment 1 Shares shall be issued to SGSD and shall be provided to the following SGSD Members: (i) Sean Orlando as to Fifty Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty Five Dollars ($58,825.00) of the Payment 1 Shares; and (ii) Milad Arab as to Four Hundred and Forty One Thousand One Hundred Seventy Six Thousand Dollars ($441,176.00) of the Payment 1 Shares, both subject to the mandatory six (6) month exchange holding period.

 

 
 
 
 

 

b. Payment 2. The second payment of shares shall be to Mr. Barakett or his designee and shall be contingent on NMG SD receiving its medical commercial cannabis retail license at 7625 Carroll Road, San Diego, California 92121 (the “SD Location”). Subject to the Share Payment Reduction set forth in Section 2(d) of this Agreement, Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) of BAM common shares at a price of $0.7439 CAD per share and an exchange rate of 1.3296 (the “Exchange Rate”) as agreed by the Parties (the “Share Value Calculation”) for a total possible payment of One Million Three Hundred and Forty Thousand Five Hundred Two (1,340,502) BaM shares (the “Payment 2 Shares”) shall be disbursed to Mr. Barakett or his designee only following NMG SD receiving all licenses, permits, and authorizations required for NMG SD to conduct medical commercial cannabis retail operations at the SD Location (the “SD Medical Licenses”). In addition to being subject to the reduction set forth in Section 3(d), the Payment 2 Shares shall be subject to the mandatory six (6) month exchange holding period.

 

c. Payment 3. The third payment of shares shall be to Mr. Barakett or his designee and shall be contingent on NMG SD receiving its adult-use commercial cannabis retail license at the SD Location. Subject to the Share Payment Reductions set forth in Section 2(d) of this Agreement, Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) of BaM common shares at the Share Value Calculation for a total possible payment of One Million Three Hundred and Forty Thousand Five Hundred Two (1,340,502) BaM shares (the “Payment 3 Shares”) shall be disbursed to Mr. Barakett or his designee only following NMG SD receiving all licenses, permits, and authorizations required for NMG SD to conduct adult-use commercial cannabis retail operations at the SD Location (the “SD Adult-use Licenses”). In addition to being subject to the Share Payment Reduction set forth in Section 3(d), the Payment 3 Shares shall be subject to the mandatory six (6) month exchange holding period.

 

d. Share Payment Reductions. Subject to Section 3(e) of this Agreement, Mr. Barakett has agreed to pay BaM forty percent (40%) of the “Start-up Costs” as defined herein (the “Barakett Allocation”). For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Start-up Costs” include all costs associated with NMG SD establishing commercial cannabis retail operations at the SD Location (the “SD Premises”) inclusive of: (i) the costs associated with becoming a tenant at the SD Premises, including but not limited to, the costs set forth in the SD Lease Assignment; and (ii) all construction costs associated with building out the SD Location for the Company’s operations (the “Start-up Costs”). Prior to any payment of the Payment 2 Shares or the Payment 3 Shares, NMG shall provide Mr. Barakett with written documentation detailing the Start-up Costs and Mr. Barakett shall have seven (7) business days from: (a) the date NMG SD receives the SD Medical Licenses; or (b) the date NMG SD receives the SD Adult-use Licenses, whichever is earlier (the “Allocation Payment Deadline”) to pay BaM the Barakett Allocation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances may the Allocation Payment Deadline occur prior to the earlier of: (y) the free trading of the NMG LB Share Payment associated with the Asset Purchase Agreement; or (z) the date that is six (6) months and ten (10) days from the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents to the contrary, in the event Mr. Barakett fails to pay any portion of the Barakett Allocation amount prior to the Allocation Payment Deadline, the Payment 2 Shares and/or the Payment 3 Shares (as applicable) shall be reduced based on any unpaid portion of the Barakett Allocation. BaM shall have the ability to offset the Payment 2 Shares and/or the Payment 3 Shares at its sole and exclusive discretion. For the purpose of this offsetting only, BaM shall utilize a share value calculation equal to the CSE listed 5-day VWAP of the BaM shares, as applicable, on the trading day immediately prior to the Allocation Payment Deadline. In no event shall such calculation be lower than $0.74 (CAD) per share and or higher than $1.07 (CAD) per share (the “Offsetting Calculation”):

 

 
 
 
 

 

 

i.Example: For the purpose of example, if the Start-up Costs equal Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) and NMG SD receives either its SD Medical Licenses (prior to receiving its SD Adult-use Licenses) on August 1, 2019, Mr. Barakett shall have until August 9, 2019 to pay BaM One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000.00 US) (i.e. the Barakett Allocation). If Mr. Barakett fails to pay the entire Barakett Allocation, and if the CSE listed 5-day VWAP of the BaM shares on August 8, 2019 is $1.10 (CAD) per share, BaM shall reduce the Payment 2 Shares and Payment 3 Shares as follows:

 

 

A.In accordance with this Agreement, the total possible Payment 2 Shares and Payment 3 equals two million six hundred eighty one thousand four (2,681,004) shares;

 

 

 

 

B.The two million six hundred eighty one thousand four (2,681,004) shares at a per share calculation of $1.07 (CAD) equals Two Million Eight Hundred Sixty Eight Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Four Dollars and 28/100 ($2,868,674.28 CAD);

 

 

 

 

C.The Two Million Eight Hundred Sixty Eight Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Four Dollars and 28/100 ($2,868,674.28 CAD) is divided by the Exchange Rate, which equals Two Million One Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Forty Six Dollars and 84/100 ($2,157,546.84 US);

 

 

 

 

D.The Barakett Allocation of One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000.00) would be deducted from that Two Million One Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Forty Six Dollars and 84/100 ($2,157,546.84 US) resulting in the remaining amount of Nine Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Forty Six Dollars and 84/100 ($957,546.84 US);

 

 

 

 

E.That remaining amount of Nine Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Forty Six Dollars and 84/100 ($957,546.84 US) would be multiplied by the Exchange Rate equaling One Million Two Hundred Seventy Three Thousand One Hundred Fifty Four Dollars and 28/100 ($1,273,154.28 CAD); and

 

 
 
 
 

 

 

F.That One Million Two Hundred Seventy Three Thousand One Hundred Fifty Four Dollars and 28/100 ($1,273,154.28 CAD) would be divided by the per share calculation price of $1.07 CAD for a total share payment to Mr. Barakett of one million one hundred eighty nine thousand eight hundred sixty three (1,189,863) shares resulting in zero (0) Payment 2 Shares and the Payment 3 Shares being reduced by one hundred fifty thousand six hundred thirty nine (150,639) shares. The reduced Payment 3 Shares only to be paid out in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

e. Amended Operating Agreement Exception. In the event the Members of NMG SD enter into an amended and restated operating agreement that would result in the Barakett Allocation being paid by SJJR, LLC or its affiliates, subsidiaries or successors, prior to the Allocation Payment Deadline, then the holdback set forth in Section 3(d) of this Agreement shall not apply.

 

f. Failure to Obtain Retail Licenses. In the event NMG SD is unable, through no fault of the Barakett Parties, to receive its medical commercial cannabis retail license or its adult-use commercial cannabis retail license at the SD Location in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, NMG SD and BaM shall utilize best efforts to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement satisfactory to all Parties.

 

4. Payment for Legal Expenses. Within ten (10) days following the execution of this Agreement, BaM shall pay the legal and consulting expenses incurred by the Barakett Parties for the benefit of BaM and otherwise in facilitating this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in an amount of $90,500, which represents the legal fees ($73,000), consulting fees ($17,500), and costs incurred since November 28, 2018 and unrelated to the litigation expenses to be covered by the Litigation Loan Agreement. If requested by BaM, the Barakett Parties shall cause counsel and consultants for the Barakett Parties to provide itemized invoices detailing the work performed and costs incurred for the benefit of BaM.

 

5. Final Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents represent the entire agreement between the Parties. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall supersede and replace the Existing Agreements and any other Agreement between the Parties, verbal or otherwise.

 

6. Releases.

 

a. Barakett Parties’ Release.

10. Jurisdiction and Disputes. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of California.

In no event shall a Claim be adjudicated in Federal District Court. In the event that either Party commences a Claim in Federal District Court or moves to remove such action to Federal District Court, the Parties hereby mutually agree to stipulate to a dismissal of such Federal Claim with prejudice.
