The mediation shall not continue longer than one (1) hearing day without the written approval of both parties. Neither Party shall be bound by any recommendation of the mediator.

The senior executives, who shall have full authority to decide on behalf of and bind their respective entities, shall allocate at least one (1) full business day of their time for the mediation process on any such claim, dispute, difference or controversy submitted to mediation hereunder. Such senior executives may be represented by counsel in connection with any such mediation proceedings and, in addition, either party may, with permission of the mediator, bring such additional persons as are needed to respond to questions, contribute information or participate in the negotiations.
The fees and expenses of the mediator and the American Arbitration Association shall be shared equally by both parties. The mediator shall be disqualified as a witness, consultant, expert or counsel for any party with respect to any such claim, dispute, difference or controversy and any related matters. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any employees of the American Arbitration Association, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including, but not limited to, impeachment, in any arbitration, litigation or other proceeding related to this Agreement, provided, however, that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.
At no time prior to or during the mediation shall either party initiate an arbitration or litigation related to this Agreement except to pursue a provisional remedy that is authorized by law or by agreement of the parties. If any such claim, dispute, difference or controversy is not resolved by such mediation, either party may pursue such rights and remedies as may be available to either of them under this Agreement or at law or in equity.

SIGNED LOI, May 12 20
LOI - Cannabis Delivery Business Management Agreement between Cannabis Global Inc (MCTC) and Whisper Weed
May 12, 2020
Management and Owners:
Whisper Weed
0000 Xxxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx,
XX 00000
Dear Management and Owners:
Thank you for the opportunity to discuss the possibility of a strategic management contract relationship between Cannabis Global, Inc. (“MCTC”) and the control entity and/or the reporting entity for the operation of Whisper Weed Service (“Whisper Weed”).
With several legal, licensing and operating entities involved with Whisper Weed operation, for convenience and discussion purposes, herein we reference the operations, simply as “Whisper Weed” Based on our preliminary discussions, it appears the true legal entity to be utilized is Whisper Weed. Nevertheless, for the purposes of this letter, we will reference the entity as Whisper Weed.
The ideas put forth in this letter are strictly non-binding and are simply a possible springboard to perhaps move the discussion forward in order to reach a potential definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”). Considering our status at a publicly traded company with regulatory reporting responsibilities, we ask you to keep these discussions confidential, until we mutually agree otherwise.
We, of course, welcome your feedback relative to possible methods to enhance the terms outlined below, so that all parties can benefit.
Overview
MCTC and Whisper Weed propose to enter into a strategic management agreement where MCTC would provide management services to Whisper Weed in exchange for mutual consideration in the form of a management service fee equal to 51% of the net profits of the delivery business paid to MCTC, licensing fee and Preferred Shares in MCTC to Whisper Weed.
One, or more of the owners, shareholders or partners of the Parties is a partial owner, shareholder or partner in another Party and thus, this Agreement, relative to these Parties, is between Related Parties, as defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 850.
MCTC will create a new legal entity which will be registered as a California registered corporation (C Corporation) and wholly owned subsidiary of MCTC. The details will be outlined in the Definitive Agreements.
At the end of the MCTC fiscal quarterly periods ending on the last day of November, February and May, financial results and statements produced by management agreement of Whisper Weed and MCTC will be consolidated into MCTC financial statements, which will be reviewed by the MCTC’s auditor.
At the end of MCTC fiscal year, which occurs each August 31st, financial results and statements produced by management agreement between MCTC and Whisper Weed will be consolidated into MCTC financial statements, which will be fully audited by MCTC auditing firm. At the end of the quarterly periods and at the end of the fiscal year, outlined above, all reports will be filed in a timely manner with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in accordance with its regulations.
Management of MCTC would hold responsibility for the maintaining of quarterly reporting, legal fees associated with the entity, tax return preparation, audits and other tasks of corporate governance, and for the integration of such tasks and information into the MCTC corporate entity.
Contract
MCTC will provide strategic management services (the “Management Services”) to Whisper Weed for a period of ten (10) years. The specifics of the Management Services will be outlined fully in the Definitive Agreements.
Strategic Management Contract Fees
MCTC, or new subsidiary to be designated by MCTC, will be paid a fee each quarter ending the last day of November, February, May, and August for the Management Services equal to the 51% net profits earned by Whisper Weed operations.
Consideration to Whisper Weed and its Owners
Under the terms of the possible Definitive Agreement, the owners of Whisper Weed would receive a stake in the ownership of MCTC, as well as a licensing fee.
The licensing fee would be equal to 46% of the total net profit of Whisper Weed.
This ownership stake would be represented by a new class of preferred stock in MCTC. The new class stock, to be named Preferred Senior Series Management Services Operations (the “Senior Preferred Shares”), would be fully convertible into MCTC common shares, enabling the owners to unlock full value provided.
Terms of the Senior Preferred Shares
The terms of the Senior Preferred Shares would allow the series to be senior to common shareholders in any unforeseen liquidation of the company, or due to some other unforeseen event.
The Senior Preferred Shares would be non-dividend shares. The certificates of designations for the Senior Preferred Shares would restrict any other use or issuance of the series not related to the Management Services and Whisper Weed. These certificates of designation would be included as part of the Definitive Agreement.
Floating Conversion Into Common Shares and Expected Conversion Value
Holders of the Senior Preferred Shares would convert into MCTC common shares on a variable floating basis, which will be tied to the value of the underlying common shares into which the Senior Preferred Shares will convert, as outlined below.
The conversion of the Senior Preferred Shares, will be into a number of common shares of MCTC that will represent a dollar amount equal to 2 times the trailing Whisper Weed Net Profit (the “Expected Realization Amount”). Such conversions will take place periodically, as will be defined in the Definitive Agreement.
Upon conversion, the number of common shares to be issued to the Senior Preferred Shareholders will be based on the Expected Realization Amount owed to the Senior Preferred holders, not on the face value of the Senior Preferred Shares. The floating conversion (the “Back Stop Conversion”) will mitigate the vast majority of risk associated with a decrease in the value of the underlying common shares. There will be other protections for the Senior Preferred holders outlined with the Back Stop Conversion terms.
Other Protections for the Owners of Whisper Weed
We are prepared to discuss other broad protections for the owners of Whisper Weed to ensure the value received represents the approximately value equal to two times the MCTC Whisper Weed Revenues.
Other Terms
1) Each of the two owners of Whisper Weed will receive a stock bonus of $75,000 in the form of:
common stock consulting shares for assisting in the closing of a final agreement.
2) MCTC and Whisper Weed will negotiate an agreement, where MCTC will hold a first right of refusal option to acquire 100% of Whisper Weed with the details to be determined at a later date.
3) MCTC’s staff has considerable experience in accounting, auditing and in the financing of growth companies, especially those engaged in the cannabis sector, Thus, MCTC will offer the following under the terms of an agreement:
● MCTC will assist Whisper Weed in the process of assembling the records to ensure proper financial controls and in preparation of financial audits.
● MCTC will be able to assist in interfacing with an outside audit firm during the audit process.
● MCTC, as a publicly-traded company, has strong access to the capital markets and is willing to help finance future business expansion and operations for Whisper Weed.
4) Non-Binding - This letter does not create a binding agreement between any of the parties discussed herein. Only a possible future formal Letter of Intent or Definitive Agreement will bind the parties mentioned. The terms and conditions of any future agreement will supersede any terms and conditions in this Letter.
5) Confidentiality - The proposed terms and other contents of this letter are confidential and
neither party shall disclose any content without the permission of the other.
Next Steps
We believe the next steps should be the following:
● Approval by Whisper Weed Team - We suggest the ownership team of Whisper Weed complete discussions concerning the desire to move forward toward negotiating a Definitive Agreement.
● A Meeting to Discuss the Drafting of a Definitive Agreement - Based on the positive indication from the ownership team of Whisper Weed, we would propose a meeting to discuss the details to be included in a Definitive Agreement.
We look forward to your indication of interest so that a Definitive Agreement drafting meeting can be scheduled.
Sincerely,
_/s/_________________________
