If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if (i) the Indemnifying Party gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party actively and diligently defends such Third Party Claim, or (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only claims for monetary damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party (provided that no party shall be required to provide information to the extent it is subject to attorney-client privilege or such information may be reasonably relevant to a direct claim among the parties). Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party (provided that no party shall be required to provide information to the extent it is subject to attorney-client privilege or may be reasonably relevant to a direct claim among the parties). No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

 
11

 

 

(c) Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of from any of its obligations under this Section 7except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 7. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail based on the facts then known, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable based on the facts then known, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Person and Indemnified Person shall use good faith efforts to resolve the disputed matters. If the dispute is not resolved within such 30-day period, either party may seek resolution of the dispute in a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall 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; provided, that, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be required to wait for such 30-day period prior to pursuing any remedies available to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Party shall be liable to any other party for indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damages arising out of this Agreement (collectively “Consequential Damages”), provided, however, the foregoing shall not preclude recovery by a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party for Consequential Damages payable to third parties as a result of Third Party Claims or Consequential Damages premised on or arising from an Action of fraud, willful misconduct, or criminal acts by a party.

 

7.6 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth herein, as the case may be.

 

7.7 Exclusive Remedies. Except (a) for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of applicable Law, (b) for specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, including pursuant to Section 10,18, or (c) in respect of claims based on fraud, criminal acts, or willful misconduct, the indemnification provisions of this Section 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement from and after the Closing.

 

 
12

 

 

7.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. 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.

 

8. Termination.

 

8.1 This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

 

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Buyer and Sellers;

 

(b) by Buyer, if Seller breaches this Agreement which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 4.1 and (ii) has not been cured within thirty (30) calendar days from the date that Seller is notified by Buyer in writing of such breach; provided that Buyer is not otherwise in material default or material breach of this Agreement;

 

(c) by Seller, if Buyer breaches its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in this Agreement which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 4.2 and (ii) has not been cured within thirty (30) calendar days from the date that Buyer is notified by Seller in writing of such breach; provided that Seller is not otherwise in material default or material breach of this Agreement;

 

(d) by Seller or Buyer if the City expressly denies the transfer of the Local License to the Buyer and following good faith efforts by the Parties, the City expressly continues to deny the transfer of the Local License to the Buyer.

 

8.2 Effect of Termination.

 

(a) If any Party validly terminates this Agreement pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 8.1(a)-(c), this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force and effect, except that (a) the obligations of the Parties set forth in this Section 8.2(a), Section 9, Section 10, and Section 10.4 shall survive such termination indefinitely, and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any party from Liability for fraud or for any intentional breach of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) then, after Buyer’s satisfaction of its obligations in Section 8.3, Seller shall refund to Buyer the full amount of all consideration paid to Seller prior to such termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(c) then Seller shall be entitled to keep all consideration, payment, and monies paid to Seller prior to the termination.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(d), the Parties agree and covenant to cooperate and work in good faith towards restructuring, modifying, and/or amending the transaction such that the end result is Buyer has control and ownership of the Dispensary and/or Local License. In the event of Termination pursuant to Section 8.1(d), all consideration paid to Seller prior to such termination shall be completely refunded to Buyer, with the delivery of the City’s written express denial of the Local License Transfer being sufficient documentation for the full release of the CDTFA Payment from Escrow back to Buyer.

 

8.3 Post Termination Cooperation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of termination of this Agreement prior to Closing in accordance with this Section 8 (except for a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(d)) Buyer covenants it shall within five (5) days of the date of termination (a) withdraw and/or void any ownership changes submitted or reported to the City (or the applicable Government Authorities), (b) take all necessary steps and acts to ensure the Lease is returned to the control of Seller and Company, (c) assign, transfer, or give back to Seller any Licenses, permits, assets, accounts, contracts, or agreements under the control of Buyer at the time of termination, (d) take all necessary steps to ensure the Licenses are updated, modified, or otherwise changed to reflect Seller as the owner of the Company and the Licenses, and (e) such other acts necessary to return the operational Enterprise to the control and operation of the Seller.

9. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

 

9.1 This Agreement shall be governed by, enforced, and construed under and in accordance with the Laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereunder.

 

9.2 In the event of any Action arising out of or relating to any performance required under this Agreement or the interpretation, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall use their good faith efforts to settle the Action. To this effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable resolution satisfactory to the parties. If the Action cannot be settled through negotiation within a period of seven (7) days, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to settle the claim through mediation, administered by a mediator mutually agreeable to the parties, before resorting to arbitration. If they do not reach such resolution, or an agreed upon mediator cannot be identified, within a period of thirty (30) days, then, upon notice by either Party to the other they shall commence arbitration as set forth below. A party failing or refusing to submit an Action to mediation shall not be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees even if later they are determined to be the prevailing party.

 

9.3 Subject to the foregoing, the parties agree to submit all Actions and any dispute related to this Agreement to binding arbitration before JAMS. The arbitration shall be held in accordance with the JAMS then-current Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (and no other JAMS rules), which currently are available at: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. The arbitrator shall be either a retired judge, or an attorney who is experienced in commercial contracts and licensed to practice law in California, selected pursuant to the JAMS rules. The parties expressly agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in the Los Angeles County, California. Each party understands and agrees that by signing this Agreement, such party is waiving the right to a jury. The arbitrator shall apply California substantive law in the adjudication of all Actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party to an Action may apply to the state courts located in Los Angeles County for a provisional remedy, including, but not limited to, a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction. The application for or enforcement of any provisional remedy by a party shall not operate as a waiver of the agreement to submit a dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to this provision. After a demand for arbitration has been filed and served, the parties may engage in reasonable discovery in the form of requests for documents, interrogatories, requests for admission, and depositions. The arbitrator shall resolve any disputes concerning discovery. The arbitrator shall award costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator, to the extent permitted by California law unless the prevailing party failed or refused to first submit their claim to mediation in accordance with the subsection directly above. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties. The arbitrator’s decision shall include the arbitrator’s findings of fact and conclusions of law and shall be issued in writing within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the arbitration proceedings. The prevailing party may submit the arbitrator’s decision to state courts located in Los Angeles County for an entry of judgment thereon. Any party’s failure to pay their pro rata share of any arbitration fees and expenses shall not be grounds to delay the appointment of an arbitrator or to stay the arbitration. Further, any failure of a party to pay such fees and/or expenses within 30 days of the respective due date shall constitute a default by that party and entitle the non-defaulting party to the entry of a default judgment by the arbitrator against the defaulting party. Any default judgment awarded by an arbitrator shall be fully enforceable, and all defenses to entry, enforcement, or collection upon that default judgment are waived.

In the event of the termination of this Agreement, each party shall return to the applicable other party all documents and other materials obtained by it or on its behalf and shall destroy all copies, digests, work papers, abstracts or other materials relating thereto, and each party will continue to comply with the confidentiality provisions set forth herein.

 

10.5 Attorneys’ Fees.

10.6 Expenses.

10.7 Assignment.

15

 

 

10.8 Waiver. The waiver by any Party of a breach or violation of any provision in this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, whether or not of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any other provisions, rights or privileges hereunder and no waiver shall be effective unless set forth in writing and executed by the Party waiving such provisions, rights or privileges. No course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest in this Agreement shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or waive any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party. No failure to exercise, delay in exercising or single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any Party hereunder shall constitute a waiver of, or shall preclude any other or further exercise of, the same or any other right, power or remedy.

 

10.9 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

10.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Section 6 relating to indemnified parties, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any employee or former employee of Company, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

10.11 Force Majeure. Any Party shall be excused for failures and delays in performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement due to any cause beyond the control and without the fault of such party, including without limitation, any act of God, war, terrorism, bio-terrorism, riot or insurrection, law or regulation, strike, flood, earthquake, water shortage, fire, explosion or inability due to any of the aforementioned causes to obtain necessary labor, materials or facilities (but excluding lack of funds). This provision shall not release such Party from using its best efforts to avoid, mitigate or remove such cause, and such Party shall continue performance hereunder with the utmost dispatch once such cause has been avoided, mitigated or removed. Upon claiming any such excuse or delay for non-performance, such Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other Party, provided that failure to give such notice shall not in any way limit the operation of this provision.

 

10.12 No Rule of Construction. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the parties hereto, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any party in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.

 

10.13 Counterparts and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in duplicate counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and both of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

10.19 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, Action, suit, or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the Parties hereto (including any party to whom the rights or obligations hereunder are assigned or any successor to a Party hereto) and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party.

10.21 Regulatory Compliance. This Agreement is subject to strict requirements for ongoing regulatory compliance by the Parties, including, without limitation, requirements that the Parties take no action in violation of the Cannabis Laws or the guidance or instruction of any applicable state regulatory body (together with any successor or regulator with overlapping jurisdiction, the “Regulator”). The Parties acknowledge and understand that the Cannabis Laws and/or 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 the Cannabis Laws and/or the Regulator, the Parties hereby agree to (and to cause their respective Affiliates and related parties and representatives to) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions reasonably requested to ensure compliance with the Cannabis Laws and/or 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 the Cannabis Laws and/or the Regulator. In furtherance, not limitation, of the foregoing, the Parties further agree to cooperate with the Regulator 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.

 

10.22 Federal Cannabis Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties 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 law as determined in accordance with the Cannabis Laws or by the Regulator, and no Party shall seek to enforce the provisions hereof in federal court unless and until the Parties have reasonably determined that the Cannabis Laws is fully compliant with Federal Cannabis Laws. As used herein, “Federal Cannabis Laws” means any U.S. federal laws, civil, criminal or otherwise, as such relate, either directly or indirectly, to the cultivation, harvesting, production, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis, marijuana or related substances or products containing or relating to the same, including, without limitation, the prohibition on drug trafficking under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a), et seq., the conspiracy statute under 18 U.S.C. § 846, the bar against aiding and abetting the conduct of an offense under 18 U.S.C. § 2, the bar against misprision of a felony (concealing another’s felonious conduct) under 18 U.S.C. § 4, the bar against being an accessory after the fact to criminal conduct under 18 U.S.C. § 3, and federal money laundering statutes under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1956, 1957, and 1960 and the regulations and rules promulgated under any of the foregoing.

 

 
18

 

 

10.23 Cross Default. A material breach by either Party of the MSA or any of the Transaction documents shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

 

10.24 Public Disclosure. No Party, nor any of their respective representatives, may make any press release or other public disclosure regarding the existence of this Agreement, its contents, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the written consent of the other Party, in any case, as to the form, content, timing, and manner of distribution or publication of such press release or other public disclosure; provided that Buyer and Seller Parties shall each be entitled to make a press release or public disclosure after the Closing provided that it has given the other Party a copy of such press release or disclosure at least two (2) days in advance and considered any comments from such Party in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.24 will prevent any Party or its representatives from making any press release or other disclosure required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or governmental agency.
