For the avoidance of doubt, additional dispensary licenses that will receive the Bonus Payment shall specifically exclude an Adult Use license issued for the License and current Lease location.

(e) Estimated Purchase Price Adjustment. No more than five (5), but at least two (2), Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an unaudited statement (the “Seller Estimated Adjustment Statement”) setting forth (i) Seller’s good faith estimate of the amount of all Indebtedness of the Company that will be outstanding as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), (ii) Seller’ good faith estimate of the amount of all Transaction Expenses that will be unpaid and outstanding as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”), (iii) Seller’s good faith estimate of the amount of all Cash On Hand as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Cash”), (iv) Seller’s good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”) and (v) based on such estimates, a calculation of the Cash Amount; provided, however that in the event the Cash Amount is reduced to less than zero dollars, the amount by which the Cash Amount is less than zero dollars shall reduce the principal amount under the Seller Note.

The Purchaser Adjustment Statement shall be prepared in a format consistent with the example set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto.

(b) If Seller disputes any items included in the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Transaction Expenses or the Closing Cash as calculated by Purchaser in the Purchaser Adjustment Statement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser no more than one (1) written notice of such dispute (the “Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice”) within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Purchaser Adjustment Statement; provided that Seller may so object to the Purchaser Adjustment Statement and the items set forth therein solely based on (i) whether such item objected to was prepared in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this Agreement concerning determination of the amounts set forth therein or (ii) whether the item objected to contains a mathematical or clerical error, and no other basis. During the period of the preparation of the Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice, Seller and their accountants, lawyers and Representatives shall be given reasonable access during regular business hours to (and shall be allowed to make copies of) the relevant Books and Records of the Company and to applicable personnel of the Company reasonably requested by such Persons, in each case for the sole purpose of their review of the final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Closing Cash pursuant to this Section 2.3. Such Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice shall list with reasonable specificity Seller’s points of disagreement with the Purchaser Adjustment Statement and describe in reasonable detail the basis for the disputed items. Seller’s failure to include any item listed on the Purchaser Adjustment Statement in the Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice shall be deemed an acceptance of such item and the Purchaser Adjustment Statement shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller with respect to all such items. Seller’s failure to provide a Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Purchaser Adjustment Statement shall be deemed an acceptance of such Purchaser Adjustment Statement and, as such, the Purchaser Adjustment Statement shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller.

(c) If Seller delivers a timely Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice, and Purchaser and Seller are able to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice (or such longer period as Purchaser and Seller may agree), Purchaser and Seller shall set forth the agreed upon Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Closing Cash in a written agreement signed by Seller and Purchaser (a “Settlement Agreement”) and such Settlement Agreement shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller.

(d) If Seller delivers a timely Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice and Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute as provided for in Section 2.3(c) by mutual agreement within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice (or such longer period as Purchaser and Seller may agree), Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that they shall promptly submit the disputed matters to the Accountant to resolve such dispute. If issues are submitted to the Accountant for resolution, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into a customary engagement letter with the Accountant at the time the disputed matter is submitted to the Accountant. Seller and Purchaser shall furnish, at their own expense, to the Accountant and to each other a written statement of their position with respect to each matter in dispute, and Seller and Purchaser may deliver to the Accountant and to each other its response to the other’s position on each such matter in dispute. With each submission, Seller and Purchaser may also furnish to the Accountant such other information and documents as they deem relevant or such other information or documents as may be requested by the Accountant with appropriate copies or notification being given to the other.

(e) Purchaser and Seller shall direct the Accountant to resolve the disputed matters based on the materials submitted to it pursuant to Section 2.3(d) within thirty (30) days following the submission of such materials, and the Accountant shall not make any other determination or undertake any independent discovery. In making such determination, the Accountant shall act in its capacity as an expert in accounting and not as an arbitrator and may only consider those items and amounts (and related items and amounts) as to which Purchaser and Seller have disagreed within the time periods and on the terms specified above and must resolve the matter in accordance with GAAP(except for any permitted exceptions therefrom described in the definitions of Net Working Capital, Indebtedness, Transaction Expenses or Cash On Hand) and, to the extent consistent with GAAP, in conformity with the same accounting methods, policies, practices, and procedures, with consistent classification, judgments, and estimation methodology, as were used by the Company in preparing the Company Financials; provided, that the determination of the Accountant will neither be more favorable to Purchaser than reflected in the Purchaser Adjustment Statement, nor more favorable to Seller than reflected in the Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with the Accountant and promptly provide all documents and information reasonably requested by the Accountant. In connection with its resolution of the dispute, the Accountant shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller a report (the “Accountant’s Report”) in which the Accountant shall determine those items and amounts that are the subject of the dispute between Purchaser and Seller. The Accountant’s Report shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the Accountant’s determination with respect to each of the disputed items in the Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice, and a revised calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses or Closing Cash, as applicable, together with supporting calculations. All fees and expenses relating to this work of the Accountant shall be borne by Purchaser, on one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accountant, which proportionate allocation shall also be determined by the Accountant and be included in the Accountant’s Report. The Accountant’s Report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller and shall be deemed a final arbitration award that is binding on each of Purchaser and Seller and no party shall seek further recourse to courts, other tribunals or otherwise, other than to enforce the Accountant’s Report.

(f) The final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and Closing Cash either through Seller’s failure to timely deliver a Purchaser Adjustment Statement Objection Notice pursuant to Section 2.3(b), the entry into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to Section 2.3(c) or the delivery of an Accountant’s Report pursuant to Section 2.3(e) shall be referred to as the “Accepted Adjustment Statement.” If there is a Purchase Price Surplus, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser the Purchase Price Surplus, which shall be payable by Seller by setting off such amount payable by Seller (or portion thereof) first against the Escrow Amount until the balance of the Escrow Amount shall have reached zero and then against the Bonus Payment. If there is a Purchase Price Shortfall, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller, within three (3) Business Days following the determination of the Accepted Adjustment Statement, cash in the amount of such Purchase Price Shortfall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller.

Section 2.4 Closing. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Interests and the other transactions contemplated hereunder (the “Closing”) shall take place at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, on a date to be specified by the parties, which shall be the first day of the month following State Approval and after the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof (other than conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), electronically or at such other time, date and place as the parties may mutually agree (such date on which the Closing is to take place being the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be deemed effective for all purposes at 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date.

Section 2.5 Withholding. Seller represents that amounts payable to Seller hereunder as consideration are not subject to any withholding (including any non-resident state income tax withholding) of any kind. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser or the Company (as appropriate) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller or any other Person such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law; provided, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser for any failure to so withhold. To the extent that any amounts are so withheld, (a) such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller or such other Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, and (b) Purchaser or the Company (as appropriate) shall provide to Seller or such other Person written notice of the amounts so deducted or withheld.

Section 2.6 Escrow. At Closing Purchaser shall withhold from the Final Purchase Price and furnish to Escrow Agent the Escrow Amount, which along with any interest thereon shall be held by the Escrow Agent and will be available to satisfy any indemnification and any other amounts owed to Purchaser under this Agreement, and will be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement the form of which shall be mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller prior to Closing. All fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agent Fee”) shall be borne equally between the Buyer and Seller.

(b) For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, Seller agrees that, without the consent of Purchaser, it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly hire, solicit to (or assist or encourage others to) hire, or in any way interfere with the employment relationship of any individual who is an employee or independent contractor of the Company in connection with the Acquired Business or who was employed or engaged by the Company in connection with the Acquired Business within the twelve (12) months prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be precluded from engaging in general solicitations or advertising for personnel, including advertisements and searches conducted by a headhunter agency; provided that such solicitation, advertising or searches are not directed in any way at the employees or independent contractors of the Company.

(d) Seller acknowledges and agrees that the scope of the restrictive covenants set forth in clauses (a) through (d) above, including the scope of Competing Business and the Territory, are reasonably tailored, and not broader than necessary, to protect the legitimate business interests of Purchaser, and do not prevent or preclude Seller from earning a suitable livelihood.

(e) If any term or provision of this Section 5.4 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and such determination shall become final, such provision or portion shall be deemed to be severed or limited, but only to the extent required to render the remaining terms and provisions of this Section 5.4 enforceable.

In addition, the parties hereby expressly empower a court of competent jurisdiction to modify any term or provision of this Section 5.4 to the extent necessary to comply with any Applicable Law and to enforce this Section 5.4 as modified.

(f) Seller acknowledges and agrees that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for breach of the provisions of this Section 5.4. In the event of an actual or threatened breach by Seller of any of the provisions of this Section 5.4, Purchaser, in addition to any other remedies available to it, may obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce, or prevent any breach of, the provisions of this Section 5.4 without the requirement of posting any bond or other indemnity.

Purchaser’s right to indemnification, payment of damages and other remedies based on representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted by Purchaser or any knowledge acquired by Purchaser (or capable of being acquired by Purchaser) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of any such representation or warranty or compliance with any such covenant or obligation.

(b) At all times prior to the Closing, each party shall promptly notify the other parties in writing of any fact, condition, event or occurrence that will or is reasonably likely to result in the failure of any of the other parties’ conditions contained in Article VII to be satisfied.

Section 5.7 Exclusivity. During the Pre-Closing Period, Seller agrees that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates, representatives, officers, employees, directors, or agents (the “Group”) shall initiate, solicit, entertain, negotiate, accept or discuss, directly or indirectly, any proposal or offer from any Person or group of Persons (including members of its Group) other than Purchaser (a “Purchase Proposal”) regarding (i) any transaction that could be preclusive of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, (ii) any sale, transfer, license, lease or conveyance of any of the assets of the Company, other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (iii) the acquisition of all or any portion of the Interests, or (iv) the entry into any agreement, arrangement or understanding requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents. Seller further agrees that, in the event any third-party approaches Seller or any member of its Group regarding such a transaction during the Pre-Closing Period, Seller shall notify such party that Seller is contractually bound to forego any such discussion or negotiations. Immediately upon execution of this Agreement, Seller shall, and shall cause each member of its Group to, terminate any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person or group of persons other than Purchaser and its Affiliates regarding a Purchase Proposal. Seller represents that no member of its Group is party to or bound by any agreement with respect to a Purchase Proposal other than under this Agreement.

Section 5.8 Post-Closing Action. Following the Closing, Seller covenants and agrees that it will not take any of the following acts—(i) transfer its assets, (ii) effectuate a reorganization, or (iii) take any other action—with the intentional purpose of impairing the Seller’s ability to meet its obligations under this Agreement including, but not limited to, its obligations to indemnify purchaser pursuant to Section 6.3 or Section 8.2.

Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing of any Tax Return, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from Seller, an amount equal to the Taxes required to be paid for the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent such amount is greater than such Taxes that are reflected as a current liability in the Closing Net Working Capital set forth in the Accepted Adjustment Statement.

(ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets or otherwise measured by the level of any item, shall be the product of (A) the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this Section 6.3(b) shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to effect the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company.

If any Action relating to Tax arises or any claim is made by any Governmental Entity relating to Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period for which the Seller may be required to provide indemnification hereunder, then Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, promptly notify Seller in writing of such Action or claim (a “Tax Claim”); provided, however that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Purchaser’s right to indemnification hereunder. Purchaser shall control all aspects of any Tax Claim.

If any third party notifies the Indemnified Party with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for indemnification (a “Third Party Claim”) against the Indemnifying Party under this ArticleVIII, then the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party reasonably promptly thereof in writing; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. All notices given pursuant to this Section 8.6(a) shall describe with reasonable specificity the nature of the claim, the amount of the claim (to the extent then known) and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.

(b) Following receipt of notice in accordance with Section 8.6(a) (other than a notice of a Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Party, in which case Section 8.6(c) below shall apply), the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the date it receives such notice (the “Dispute Period”) to make such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifying Party deems necessary or desirable. For purposes of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party all the material information related to such claim relied upon by or in possession or control of, the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party disagrees with the validity or amount of all or a portion of such claim made by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party written notice thereof (the “Dispute Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period. If no Dispute Notice is received by the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period or the Indemnifying Party provides notice that it does not have a dispute with respect to such claim, such claim shall be deemed approved and consented to by the Indemnifying Party (such claim, an “Approved Indemnification Claim”). If a Dispute Notice is received by the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party do not agree to the validity and/or amount of such disputed claim, no payment shall be made until such disputed claim is resolved, whether by adjudication of such matter, agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or otherwise (and upon any such resolution, such claim shall be deemed to be an Approved Indemnification Claim).

(c) Purchaser shall have the right to defend all Third Party Claims, with Purchaser’s legal or other expenses associated with the defense of such Third Party Claim constituting Losses hereunder. Seller may participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that Seller shall bear, in addition to all legal or other expenses incurred by Purchaser, all legal or other expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such Third Party Claim. Purchaser shall not settle or consent to judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without the written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser and Seller shall render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be required of each other in order to ensure proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Section 8.6. To the extent that Seller does not participate in the defense of a particular Third Party Claim, Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such Third Party Claim. In the event that Seller has consented to any settlement or consented to any judgment and except as otherwise provided in such settlement or judgment, Seller shall not have any power or authority to object to any claim by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this ArticleVIII for indemnity in the amount of such settlement or judgment.

Section 8.7 Determination of Loss Amount. If notice of an indemnifiable matter has been made prior to the end of any applicable period set forth in Section 8.1, all Losses incurred or paid in connection with such matter shall remain subject to indemnification hereunder.

Section 8.8 Tax Treatment. Any payment under this ArticleVIII shall be treated by the parties for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

Section 8.9 Election of Claims. In the event that any Person alleges that such Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder, and that Person’s claim is covered under more than one provision of this Agreement, such Person shall be entitled to elect the provision or provisions under which it may bring a claim for indemnification.

Section 8.10 Exclusive Remedy. Except (a) for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Applicable Law, (b) as provided in Section 2.3, (c) for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, including pursuant to Section 10.15, or (d) in respect of claims based on fraud, willful misconduct or criminal acts, the indemnification provisions of Section 6.3 and this ArticleVIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement from and after the Closing.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the State Approval Date:

(a) by mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller;

(b) by either Purchaser or Seller upon written notice to the other party if a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a nonappealable final order, decree or ruling or taken any other nonappealable final action, in each case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby;

(c) by either Purchaser or Seller upon written notice to the other party if a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Applicable Law which is in effect which would make the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document illegal or prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not include the continued effect of the Federal Cannabis Laws; and

(d) by Purchaser upon written notice to Seller if there shall have occurred any Effect that (either individually or in the aggregate) has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall immediately become void and of no further force and effect; provided that (a) any such termination shall not relieve any party from Liability for any fraud or breach of this Agreement and (b) the provisions of Article I (Definitions), Section 5.3 (Public Disclosure), this Section 9.2 (Effect of Termination) and Article X (Miscellaneous) of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1 Releases. Effective as of the Closing, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby generally releases, remises and forever discharges the Company and its successors and permitted assigns, and the current and former officers, employees, managers, equityholders, and representatives thereof (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from and against any and all claims, demands, Liens, Actions, litigation, Contracts, suits, causes of action, obligations, controversies, debts, costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses, damages, orders, requirements of Applicable Law, Losses and Liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law, equity or otherwise, whether or not now known or suspected, that have existed or may have existed, or that do exist or that hereafter can, shall or may exist, based on any facts, events or omissions occurring from any time on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement arising out of, caused by or as a result of any rights any Releasing Party may have against the Released Parties, including, but not limited to, any claims that may arise in connection with the obligations of directors and officers (collectively, the “Released Claims”); provided, however, that the foregoing release shall not apply to any rights Seller may have under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has not voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, pledged, encumbered or in any manner transferred or conveyed all or any portion of the Released Claims and that no Person other than Seller has any interest in any Released Claims by Applicable Law or Contract or by virtue of any action or inaction by such party. Seller, for itself and the other Releasing Parties, hereby covenants and agrees not to sue any of the Released Parties with regard to any of the Released Claims.

Seller stipulates and agrees that it hereby expressly waives and relinquishes to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by Applicable Laws of any state or territory of the United States, or principle of common law, relating to the preservation of unknown claims, including but not limited to Cal. Civ. Code § 1542 (and all other Applicable Laws, rules and regulations which are similar, comparable, or equivalent to said code section), which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Notwithstanding the above-referenced provision, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Released Parties, Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and this provision is in full accord, satisfaction, and discharge of any and all of such Released Claims and that this Agreement and this provision has been executed with the express intention of effectuating a complete extinguishment of all known and unknown claims. Seller hereby acknowledges that the inclusion of “unknown claims” in the Released Claims set forth above was separately bargained for and was a key element of the transactions contemplated by, and the covenants and agreements set forth in, this Agreement.

Section 10.2 Post-Closing Confidentiality. From and after the Closing Date until the fifth (5th) anniversary thereof, Seller shall keep confidential (except as may be disclosed to its Representatives pursuant to the terms hereof) and not use or disclose any and all confidential information relating to Purchaser, the Company or the Acquired Business that remains in or comes into its possession after the Closing. The foregoing will not preclude Seller from (a) disclosing such confidential information if compelled to disclose the same by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law (subject to the following sentence), (b) discussing or using such confidential information if the same hereafter is in the public domain (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.2), or (c) discussing or using such confidential information if the same is acquired after the Closing Date from a Person that is not, to Seller’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, under an obligation to keep such information confidential. If Seller is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal, administrative, arbitration or other formal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any such confidential information, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any such request or requirement so that Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.2. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Purchaser, Seller is required to disclose such information, Seller, without Liability hereunder, may disclose that portion of such information that it believes in good faith it is legally required to disclose. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 10.2, Seller may only disclose such confidential information to those of its Affiliates, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) if such Representative (i) needs to know such information and (ii) agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.2. Seller shall be liable to Purchaser for the breach of this Section 10.2 by any of its Representatives.

Section 10.3 Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder will be sent in writing and delivered personally, sent by reputable, overnight courier service (charges prepaid), sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by email, according to the instructions set forth below. Such notices will be deemed given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; one Business Day after being sent, if sent by reputable, overnight courier service; and at the time received, if sent by registered or certified mail or by email.

Section 10.4 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

Section 10.5 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time by mutual written agreement of the Company, Seller and Purchaser.

Section 10.6 Extension; Waiver. At any time the parties hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. Such extension or waiver shall not be deemed to apply to any time for performance, inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, or noncompliance with any agreement or condition, as the case may be, other than that which is specified in the extension or waiver. A waiver by any party of the performance of any act will not constitute a waiver of the performance of any other act or an identical act required to be performed at a later time. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 10.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Ancillary Documents, the exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, documents and instruments referred to herein that are to be delivered at the Closing) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof (except for that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2023, by and between Purchaser and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which will automatically terminate as of the Closing and be of no further force or effect).

Section 10.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Article VIII and Section 10.1, this Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to (a) confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, (b) create any agreement of employment with any Person, or (c) otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.

Section 10.9 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights and/or obligations hereunder to any Affiliate or to any subsequent purchaser of the Company or all or substantially all of the assets comprising the business of the Company, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.10 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to give effect to the original intent of the parties to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 10.11 Counterparts and Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission.

Section 10.12 Interpretation. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “included,” “includes” or “including” (or any other tense or variation of the word “include”) in this Agreement shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The use of the term “ordinary course of business” shall in all cases herein mean “ordinary course of business consistent in an amount and frequency with past practices.” When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, schedule or exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, schedule or exhibit of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “hereof,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. No summary of this Agreement prepared by any party shall affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.13 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof.

Section 10.14 Arbitration. The parties agree to submit to resolution by binding arbitration any unresolved claim, controversy, issue or dispute arising among or between the parties out of or with respect to this Agreement or the parties’ respective rights, duties and obligations hereunder (each, a “Dispute”), upon written notice by any party to the other parties. Such arbitration shall be conducted as follows:

(a) The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with and governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except as expressly provided otherwise in this section, and administered by the AAA. The parties shall provide a copy of this arbitration clause to the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall apply the appropriate substantive Applicable Law, and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure with respect to procedural, discovery or evidentiary matters. The arbitration shall be conducted in the location mutually agreed upon by the parties; provided that, if the parties do not so agree within ten (10) days after written notice of arbitration is given by a party, the arbitration shall be conducted in Chicago, Illinois at a location selected by the arbitrator(s).

(b) The arbitrator(s), as applicable, for such arbitration shall be selected as follows:

(i) In the event of arbitration with an amount in controversy equal to or less than $1,000,000, arbitration shall be conducted by one neutral arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. If no arbitrator is agreed upon within ten (10) days following commencement of arbitration, or if the arbitrator selected by the parties is unable or unwilling to arbitrate the Dispute, the arbitrator shall be such neutral arbitrator as is selected by the AAA; or

(ii) In the event of arbitration with an amount in controversy greater than $1,000,000, arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators. Within fifteen (15) days following commencement of arbitration, Seller, as the case may be, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall each select one neutral arbitrator in whatever area(s) of expertise such party believes is relevant to the Dispute. Within ten (10) days following such appointment, the two neutral arbitrators so selected shall select the third neutral arbitrator from a list provided by the AAA who shall be a practicing attorney having experience in the area of commercial contracts, and who shall act as chair of the arbitration panel. If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator within such ten (10) day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA.

(c) The sole arbitrator or chair of the arbitration panel, as applicable, shall establish a limited time period for discovery and procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, in the discretion of the sole arbitrator or chair of the arbitration panel, as applicable, to discover relevant information from the opposing party about the subject matter of the Dispute. Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the sole arbitrator or the chair of the arbitration panel, as the case may be, and shall be governed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

(d) The award by the arbitrator(s) shall be in writing, shall be signed by the sole arbitrator or a majority of the panel of arbitrators, as the case may be, and shall include a statement of findings of fact and conclusions regarding the reasons for the disposition of any Dispute. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including without limitation, specific performance of any obligation created under any agreement between or among the parties, the issuance of an injunction, or the imposition of sanctions for abuse or frustration of the arbitration process; provided, however, that the arbitrator(s) shall not have the authority to award punitive damages, except as may be required by statute or to the extent punitive damages are awarded to a third party in connection with the claim giving rise to such applicable Dispute. The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to determine the comparative responsibility of the parties hereto for any loss or damages and assign Liability and award relief based upon such comparison. Arbitration of such issues, including the determination of the amount of any damages suffered by any party, shall be to the exclusion of any court of law and the decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon the parties and their respective personal representatives, heirs, devisees, successors and assignees. Judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each party shall bear its own expenses and its attorney’s fees and expenses, and shall equally share the arbitrators’ fees, administrative fees and travel expenses. Any party’s failure to pay their pro-rata share of any arbitrators’ fees and expenses shall not be grounds to delay the appointment of an arbitrator(s) or to stay the arbitration, and the non-defaulting party has the right to seek default judgment against the defaulting party, as appropriate.

(f) Statements made by any party or any party’s representative during the arbitration shall be deemed confidential and no party or party’s representative will attempt to use any such statement as evidence in any court or other legal proceeding. The parties also agree and acknowledge that the arbitrator(s) shall not be subject to subpoena to trial or deposition by any party for the purpose of divulging statements made or information disclosed by any party or witness in the arbitration proceedings. The parties further agree and acknowledge that the arbitrator(s) shall not disclose any matter learned in the arbitration proceedings unless given permission by all of the parties or unless required by Applicable Law.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in the state courts of the State of Ohio or, if it has or can obtain jurisdiction, the United States District Court of the Southern or Northern District of Ohio, the parties agreeing that such courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any such disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, without having to post bond therefor or prove actual damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled, without submitting such action to arbitration.

Section 10.15 Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement are unique transactions and any failure on the part of any party to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms of this Agreement will not be fully compensable in damages and the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause the other parties hereto irreparable harm. Accordingly, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies available to the parties hereto for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the parties shall be entitled to seek, without the posting of a bond, specific performance of this Agreement and seek an injunction (in a state court that has personal jurisdiction over the Parties) restraining any such party from such breach or threatened breach.

Section 10.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF PURCHASER, SELLER AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF PURCHASER, SELLER OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 10.17 Disclosures.

(a) A disclosure made by Seller or the Company in any section of the Disclosure Schedule (or subparts thereof) that reasonably informs Purchaser of information with respect to another section of this Agreement or any other section of the Disclosure Schedule (or subparts thereof) in order to avoid a misrepresentation thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement, to have been made with respect to all such other sections of this Agreement and all such other sections of the Disclosure Schedule (or subparts thereof) to which the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face without review or other examination of underlying documentation.

(b) Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules is included solely for informational purposes, and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by the Company or Seller that in and of itself, such information is material to or outside the ordinary course of the business or is required to be disclosed on the Disclosure Schedules. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to create any rights in any third party.

(c) By way of example and not limitation, (i) the disclosure of any facts or circumstances does not have the effect of disclosing any effects that are not the natural and probable consequence thereof; (ii) the disclosure of one or more claims arising out of similar facts or circumstances does not have the effect of disclosing other claims arising out of such facts or circumstances, (iii) the disclosure of an identified litigation matter does not have the effect of disclosing claims, facts or requested relief additional to or different than the claims or facts plead or relief requested in the complaints or pleadings relating to such litigation Made Available to Purchaser prior to the date hereof, (iv) the disclosure of wrongdoing or alleged wrongdoing by one or more Persons does not have the effect of disclosing similar wrongdoing by other Persons (whether pursuant to the same or different transactions, at the same or different sites, or otherwise) and (v) the disclosure of the failure of a Company Plan to comply with Applicable Laws in one or more respects does not have the effect of disclosing other failures of such Company Plan to comply with Applicable Laws.

Section 10.18 No Invalidity Due to Federal Law. The parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement or any other Ancillary Document may not be terminated or challenged as illegal by any of them on account of any Federal Cannabis Laws.
