(i) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Company a statement setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital, which statement shall contain a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), a calculation of Closing Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”).

(ii) The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital minus the Estimated Working Capital (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”).

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, the Owner shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, the Owner and its Representatives shall have full access to the books and records of the Company, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Purchaser’s possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as the Owner may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Purchaser or the Company.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Owner may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Purchaser a written statement setting forth the Owner’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Purchaser’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If the Owner fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Owner. If the Owner delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Purchaser and Owner shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Purchaser and Owner, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Owner and Purchaser fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Seller’s Accountants or Buyer’s Accountants appointed by mutual agreement of the Purchaser and Owner (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Purchaser, on the one hand, and by Owner, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Purchaser or Owner, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Purchaser or Owner.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(d) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Purchaser or Owner, as the case may be.

(e) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant Section 2.08 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.09 Withholding. The Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, any amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any provision of any federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any amounts so withheld shall be timely and properly paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority by the Purchaser. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

Assuming the consents, approvals, authorizations, waivers, notices and filings referred to in Section 4.04 are obtained or made, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by the Owner or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), as applicable, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (a) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any provision of the organizational documents of the Owner or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), (b) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Law or Permit applicable to the Owner or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), (c) require the consent, notice or other action by any Person under, conflict with, result in a violation or breach of, constitute a default or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of or create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel any Contract to which the Owner or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) is a party or by which the Owner or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) is bound or to which any of their respective properties and assets are subject or (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance, other than Permitted Encumbrances, on any properties or assets of the Owner.

Section 3.04 Ownership of Interests. The Owner owns all of the Interests, of record and beneficially, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer imposed by federal and state insurance and securities Laws).

Section 3.05 Fees to Brokers and Finders. The Owner has no obligation to pay any fee or commission to any investment banker, broker, financial adviser, finder or other similar intermediary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 3.06 Representations and Covenants with Respect to Securities.

(a) Owner understands that the Unrivaled Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Owner representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

(b) Owner expressly represents that Owner is receiving the Unrivaled Shares pursuant to the terms of the Stockholder’s Rights Agreement, with the intent to hold them for investment and for Owner’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(c) The Owner is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and shall submit to such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser. The Owner has furnished or made available any and all information requested by the Purchaser or otherwise necessary to satisfy any applicable verification requirements as to “accredited investor” status. Any such information is true, correct, timely and complete.

(d) The Owner acknowledges that any Unrivaled Shares received by Owner must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Owner is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permits resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which may include, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about Purchaser; the resale occurring not less than a specified period after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold; the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations; the sale being effected through a “brokers’ transaction,” a transaction directly with a “market maker” or a “riskless principal transaction” (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder); and the filing of a Form 144 notice, if applicable. The Owner acknowledges and understands that the Purchaser may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Owner wishes to sell any Unrivaled Shares held by the Owner and that, in such event, the Owner may be precluded from selling such securities under Rule 144, even if the other applicable requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. The Owner acknowledges that, in the event the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Shares. The Owner understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.

(e) The Owner understands and agrees that the book-entry security entitlement evidencing any Unrivaled Shares, or any other securities issued in respect of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the following legend, together with any other legends that may be required by state or federal securities laws, Purchaser’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the Stockholder’s Rights Agreement and any other agreement affecting the Unrivaled Shares or any other agreement applicable to the Owner:

	THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND/OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

	THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER.

(f) Stop-Transfer Instructions. The Owner agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed by this agreement, Purchaser may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent. Purchaser will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Unrivaled Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Unrivaled Shares, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends, to any transferee or other purchaser to whom such Unrivaled Shares have been so transferred. The Owner further understands and agrees that Purchaser may require written assurances and other reasonable documentation, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for Purchaser before the Owner effects any future transfers of any Unrivaled Shares.

(g) No “Bad Actor” Disqualification Events. The Owner expressly represents that Owner is not subject to any to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii) under the Securities Act, except for any such events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act and disclosed in writing in reasonable detail to Purchaser.

The Owner shall, and the Purchaser shall cooperate to, prepare and timely file all necessary documentation and Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to such Transfer Taxes and shall promptly provide the Purchaser with copies of any such documentation and Tax Returns.

Section 7.02 Straddle Period.

(a) In the case of Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Taxes for a Pre-Initial Closing Tax Period for purposes of this Agreement shall be (i) in the case of Taxes (A) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (B) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property or (C) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended as of the close of business on the Initial Closing Date, and the parties shall elect to do so if permitted by applicable Law; and (ii) in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Initial Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(b) Any credit or refund resulting from an overpayment of Taxes (and associated interest) for a Straddle Period shall be attributed to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Initial Closing Date and/or the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Initial Closing Date based upon the method employed in Section 7.02(a) taking into account the type of Tax to which the credit or refund relates. In the case of any Tax paid based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be apportioned under Section 7.02(a) shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Initial Closing Date.

Section 7.03 Tax Returns. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

(a) The Owner shall prepare or cause to be prepared, at the Owner’s sole cost and expense, and with reasonable assistance from the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Purchaser, all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for Tax periods that end on or before the Initial Closing Date that are required to be filed after the Initial Closing Date (collectively the “Pre-Initial Closing Tax Returns”); provided, however, that for each Pre-Initial Closing Tax Return, the Owner shall furnish, no later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date for such Pre-Initial Closing Tax Returns, a draft to the Purchaser of all such Pre-Initial Closing Tax Returns (including copies of all work papers related thereto) and such other information regarding such Pre-Initial Closing Tax Returns as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser for its review and comment, and the Owner shall not file such Pre-Initial Closing Tax Returns without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

The Owner shall pay all Taxes required to be paid in respect of such Pre-Initial Closing Tax Returns in accordance with Section 7.06, and the Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed such Pre-Initial Closing Tax Returns.

(b) The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, all other Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Such cooperation shall include the retention of all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to any Tax period beginning before the Initial Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Purchaser or the Owner, any extensions thereof) of the respective Tax periods, abiding by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority, and each party shall make itself and its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Section 7.04.

Section 7.05 Tax Proceedings. The Purchaser shall notify the Owner within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) of notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is allocated to the Owner for which the Owner could be liable or responsible under this Agreement (together with any related proceeding, a “Tax Proceeding”). The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Owner of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Owner forfeits material rights or defenses by reason of such failure. The Owner may elect, at the Owner’s sole expense, to have control over the conduct of any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Tax period ending on or before the Initial Closing Date; provided that (a) the Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Proceeding, (b) the Owner shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of the status of developments with respect to such Tax Proceeding, and (c) the Owner shall not settle, discharge, or otherwise dispose of any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

The Purchaser shall cause the amount of any and all Tax Refunds, net of Taxes (if any) imposed on the receipt of such Tax Refunds and net of reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such Tax Refunds, to be promptly paid to the Owner in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days of the actual receipt or realization of the applicable Tax Refund. For purposes of clarity, the Purchaser shall be entitled to retain any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are not for the benefit of the Owner pursuant to the immediately preceding sentences of this Section 7.07.

The failure to give such reasonably prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits material rights or defenses by reason of such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party is the Owner, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim (i) that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) that alleges a violation of any applicable Law or (iii) where the amount claimed exceeds the aggregate amount of all Losses for which such Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Article X. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 10.05(d), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 10.05(d), pay, compromise, and defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section 10.05(d). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim, at its own expense, and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 10.05(b), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 10.06 Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes actually aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits material rights or defenses by reason of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. Subject to confidentiality limitations and attorney-client privilege, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request (subject to confidentiality limitations and attorney-client privilege). If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to the remedies set forth in Section 10.07 and shall otherwise be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Payment. Subject to the Threshold and the Cap, once a Loss is agreed to or deemed accepted by the Indemnifying Party or adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article X, if the Indemnified Party is (a) an Owner Indemnitee, the Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with such Owner Indemnitee, the amount of such Loss by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Owner in writing, and (b) a Purchaser Indemnitee, at the Purchaser’s option, (i) the Purchaser may offset all or any portion of the amount of such Loss against (A) any amounts owed by the Purchaser to the Owner, including any amounts, including principal and accrued interest, outstanding under the Note, on a dollar-for-dollar basis and/or (B) the Unrivaled Shares. If the Purchaser opts to offset any Loss against the Unrivaled Shares, the Purchaser may cancel a number of Unrivaled Shares held beneficially or of record by the Owner (or any transferee of such Unrivaled Shares) such that the number of Unrivaled Shares so canceled equals the amount of the Unrivaled Share Amount, and/or (ii) the Owner shall deposit, or cause to be deposited with Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Purchaser, an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the Loss, if any, not satisfied pursuant to Section 10.07(b)(i) above. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within five (5) Business Days of such agreement or adjudication, as applicable, any amount payable shall accrue interest from the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or adjudication to the date such payment has been made at a rate equal to the rate announced in The Wall Street Journal, “Money Rates” column as the “Prime Rate” plus four percent (4%).

Section 10.08 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The parties agree that all indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 10.09 Exclusive Remedy. Except as provided in Article VII, Section 9.03(c), and Section 11.07, the indemnification provisions of Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties following the Initial Closing for any and all breaches or alleged breaches of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties, or any other provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 10.09, or otherwise in this Agreement or in any of the Ancillary Agreements, shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 11.07 or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or misfeasance, or knowing violation of Law (other than Federal Cannabis Laws), by or of either party or any of their Representatives, following the Initial Closing, each party shall be liable for any Liability resulting from that party’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

Section 11.03 Amendment; Modification and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived if, and only if, such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment or modification, by the Purchaser and the Owner, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 11.04 Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under it may be directly or indirectly assigned, delegated, sublicensed or transferred by any of the parties, in whole or in part, to any other Person (including any bankruptcy trustee) by operation of law or otherwise, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without the prior written consent of the other parties, provided that Purchaser may freely assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates and to any acquirer or successor of Purchaser, whether direct, indirect or by operation of law, without any other party’s consent. Any attempted or purported assignment in violation of this Section 11.04 will be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by each of the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns (including, with respect to any trust, any additional or successor trustees of any such trust).

Section 11.05 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III (including the representations set forth in Section 3.06) and Article IV, and (ii) Article X, with respect to which, in each case, Purchaser shall be an express third party beneficiary thereof, nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities upon any Person other than the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

Section 11.06 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution and delivery or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of California, without regard to its applicable principles of conflicts of laws that might require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state court of the United States of America sitting in the State of California, County of Orange (“Orange County Courts”), and any appellate court from any decision thereof, in any Action that may be based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution and delivery or performance of this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Action shall be heard and determined in the Orange County Courts, (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Action that may be based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution and delivery or performance of this Agreement in the Orange County Courts, including any objection based on its place of incorporation or domicile, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in any such court and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Each of the parties consents and agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document for any action permitted hereunder may be delivered by registered mail addressed to it at the applicable address set forth in Section 11.02 or in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

Section 11.07 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or breach. It is accordingly agreed that without posting bond or other undertaking, the parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party will allege, and each party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. The parties further agree that (a) by seeking any remedy provided for in this Section 11.07, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such party under this Agreement and (b) nothing contained in this Section 11.07 shall require any party to institute any action for (or limit such party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 11.07 before exercising any other right under this Agreement.

Section 11.08 Regulatory Compliance and Severability. This Agreement is subject to strict requirements for ongoing regulatory compliance by the parties hereto, including, without limitation, requirements that the parties take no action in violation of State Cannabis Laws or the guidance or instruction of the Department, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and/or the California Department of Public Health (collectively, together with any successor or local authority with similar or overlapping jurisdiction, the “Regulator”). The parties acknowledge and understand that State Cannabis Laws and the requirements of the Regulator are subject to change and are evolving as the marketplace for state-compliant cannabis businesses continues to evolve. If necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements of State Cannabis Laws or the Regulator, the parties hereby agree to (and to cause their respective affiliates and related parties and representatives to) use their respective reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably requested by Purchaser to ensure compliance with State Cannabis Laws and the Regulator, including, without limitation, negotiating in good faith to amend, restate, amend and restate, supplement, or otherwise modify this Agreement to reflect terms that most closely approximate the parties original intentions but are responsive to and compliant with the requirements of State Cannabis Laws and the Regulator. In furtherance, not in limitation of the foregoing, the parties further agree to cooperate with the Regulator, at their own respective cost and expense, to promptly respond to any informational requests, supplemental disclosure requirements, or other correspondence from the Regulator and, to the extent permitted by the Regulator, keep all other parties hereto fully and promptly informed as to any such requests, requirements, or correspondence.

Section 11.09 No Curtailment Resulting From Federal Cannabis Laws. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that no party makes, will make, or shall be deemed to make or have made any representation or warranty of any kind regarding the compliance of this Agreement with any Federal Cannabis Laws. No party hereto shall have any right of rescission or amendment arising out of or relating to any non-compliance with Federal Cannabis Laws unless such non-compliance also constitutes a violation of applicable State Cannabis Laws as determined in accordance therewith or by the Regulator, and no party shall seek to enforce the provisions hereof in federal court unless and until the parties have mutually and reasonably determined that State Cannabis Laws are fully compliant or coextensive with Federal Cannabis Laws.

Section 11.10 Cancellation of Unrivaled Shares. If the conditions for cancellation of Unrivaled Shares described in Section 10.07(b) are satisfied then (a) the Owner (or any applicable transferee of such Unrivaled Shares) hereby authorizes and instructs Purchaser to take all actions reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish such cancellation, including by cancelling any certificates or book entry shares representing the Unrivaled Shares to be canceled, and, (b) at any time and from time to time, as and when requested by Purchaser, the Owner (or any applicable transferee of such Unrivaled Shares) shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates, and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions, as are necessary to evidence and effectuate such cancelation of Unrivaled Shares.

Section 11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement, and may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic or pictorial appearance of a document.

Section 11.12 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.

Section 11.13 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the party incurring such expenses.

Section 11.12 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to that party’s reasonable attorneys fees and costs.
