If they are unable to resolve any differences within thirty (30) days after timely delivery of an applicable Change Notice, such remaining differences will be submitted to an Independent Accountant for prompt determination. The Independent Accountant will determine those matters in dispute and will render a written report as to the disputed matters, which report shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall initially be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Members and fifty percent (50%) by the Buyer; provided that upon resolution of the dispute by the Independent Accountant, the prevailing party, if any, shall be entitled to be reimbursed in proportion to the amount by which the other party’s determinations of the items in dispute differed from the amount determined by the Independent Accountant. Such amount shall be determined by the Independent Accountant.

By way of illustration, if the Buyer elects to pay $1,000,000 in cash, the total Merger Consideration would be reduced to $41,800,000, of which $32,400,000 would be paid in Parent Common Shares and $9,400,000 would be paid in cash.

(c) Whenever this Agreement requires the disclosure of an agreement or Contract on the Company Disclosure Schedule or the delivery to the Buyer of an agreement or Contract, that disclosure requirement or delivery requirement, as applicable, require disclosure or delivery of the entire document and shall also require the disclosure or delivery of each and every material amendment, extension, exhibit, attachment, schedule, addendum, appendix, statement of work, change order, and any other similar instrument or document relating to that agreement or Contract.

12.13 Severability. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the commission of any act contrary to Law.

Buyer and Securityholder are sometimes jointly referred to herein as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

A. The Parent, the Buyer, the Merger Subs, the Members and the Company entered into the Merger Agreement to effectuate a merger (the “Merger”), pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub I, with the Company to survive the first merger, following which, the surviving company will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II to survive the second merger.

B. Securityholder is an equityholder of the Company, has been actively involved in the management of the Company’s business and in the development of the Company’s products and technology and has thereby acquired significant experience, skill, and confidential and proprietary information relating to the business and operation of the Company. Securityholder, in the course of operating the business of the Company, has also developed on behalf of the Company significant goodwill and know-how that is now a significant part of the value of the Company.

C. Securityholder has a material economic interest in the consummation of the Merger. Securityholder will become employed by Buyer immediately following the Closing Date in a non- executive role with responsibilities for Buyer in the State of Colorado.

D. Buyer desires to protect its investment in the assets, business, goodwill, and know- how of the Company to be acquired pursuant to the Merger Agreement and accordingly, as a material condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger, has required that Securityholder agree to limit certain activities by Securityholder (as set forth herein) that would compete with or otherwise harm such assets, business, goodwill or know- how.

E. As part of the consideration and inducement to Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement and acquire the Company and its businesses, Securityholder is willing to agree to and abide by such restrictions.

F. References to Buyer hereinafter shall include all Affiliates of Buyer and, following the Closing Date, shall include the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration had and received, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

2. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

Confidential Information specifically includes any and all information that Securityholder may have obtained concerning Buyer or Parent in connection with discussions and negotiations concerning the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, “Confidential Information” shall not be deemed to include any information that: (A) is or becomes generally available to the public through no action or inaction of Securityholder in violation of this Agreement; (B) is required to be disclosed by Law or legal process; (C) is or becomes available to Securityholder on an non-confidential basis, so long as the source of such information was not known by Securityholder to be bound by a confidentiality obligation to Buyer, Parent, or the Company with respect to such information; or (D) was or is independently developed by Securityholder without violating Securityholder’s obligations hereunder, including without limitation, information developed in connection with the Excluded Businesses, as defined below.

(b) “Restricted Business” means the development, cultivation, growing, producing, distributing, marketing, selling or licensing of cannabis or otherwise providing any cannabis- related products, services or technologies, which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include the Securityholder’s ownership, investment, or participation in the operations of Medpharm Holdings LLC, Mx LLC, Medpharm Research LLC or Medicine Man Longmont, LLC and any affiliates (the “Excluded Businesses”).

(c) “Restricted Employee” means any (A) employee, consultant, agent, or contractor of any of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates as of the Closing Date, or (B) former employee, consultant, agent, or contractor of any of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates who Securityholder knows to be employed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates as of immediately after the Closing.

(d) “Restricted Territory” means each and every country, province, state, city, or other similar political subdivision of the world in which the Buyer, its Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates has carried on the Restricted Business prior the later of the Closing Date or the date of termination of Securityholder’s employment with the Buyer.

(e) “Restriction Period” means the longer of (1) thirty (30) months following the Closing Date, or (2) eighteen (18) months following the date of termination of Securityholder’s employment with the Buyer.

3. Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation.

Securityholder acknowledges that prior to the Closing Date, the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their Affiliates were engaged in the Restricted Business throughout the United States and/or have substantial and material plans to do so. To protect the Company’s trade secrets, Confidential Information and relationships, goodwill with customers, and know-how during the Restriction Period, Securityholder shall not in any manner within the Restricted Territory, directly or indirectly, including through entities that Securityholder directly or indirectly controls, participate or engage in, own or have any financial or other interest in, lend credit to, lend Securityholder’s name to, manage, operate, join, accept employment or any other service with, provide advice or any assistance to or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any entity or business, division, group, or other subset of any business that is engaged (or the Securityholder’s knowledge, planning to engage) in the Restricted Business, whether for Securityholder’s own account or for that of another Person, and whether as shareholder, principal, partner, member, joint venturer, agent, investor, creditor, proprietor, director, officer, employee or consultant or in any other capacity, except (i) as an employee or consultant to Buyer or (ii) as otherwise expressly consented to in writing by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3(a) shall not restrict Securityholder from passively owning (directly or indirectly through a mutual fund or similar common investment vehicle) one percent (1.0%) or less of any Person that has any securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, treating for such purposes any securities owned by an Affiliate of Securityholder as owned by Securityholder.

(b) During the Restriction Period, Securityholder shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly (including through any Affiliate of Securityholder or any other Person) encourage, induce, attempt to induce, solicit or attempt to solicit any Restricted Employee to leave his or her employment, consulting or independent contractor relationship with Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any general solicitations not directly targeted at a Restricted Employee.

(c) Except with respect to the Excluded Businesses, during the Restriction Period, Securityholder shall not, directly or indirectly (including through any Affiliate of Securityholder or any other Person): (i) solicit any existing (as of the Closing Date) customer, vendor, supplier, licensor, lessor, joint venturer, associate, consultant, agent or partner of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates, for the purpose of influencing such Person to provide business or services to Securityholder (or through Securityholder to any other Person) in connection with the Restricted Business or to cease doing business in whole or in part with the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates or whatever corporate entity or entities through which the Restricted Business is carried on by Buyer after the Closing Date; or (ii) knowingly interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to disrupt the business relationships (contractual or otherwise) existing (now or at any time in the future) between the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates or whatever corporate entity through which the Restricted Business is carried on by Buyer after the Closing Date and any third party (including the Company’s customers, vendors, suppliers, licensors, lessors, joint venturers, associates, consultants, agents and partners).

4. Confidential Information.

(a) Securityholder acknowledges that Securityholder has occupied a position of trust and confidence with the Company and with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement prior to the date hereof, and has become familiar with Confidential Information of the Company.

(b) Securityholder acknowledges that, from and after the Closing Date, all Confidential Information known or obtained by Securityholder will constitute property of Buyer. Therefore, Securityholder shall not at any time (i) disclose any Confidential Information to any unauthorized person or entity; or (ii) use any Confidential Information for Securityholder’s own account or for the benefit of any third party, whether Securityholder has such information in Securityholder’s memory or embodied in writing or other physical form, without the prior written consent of Buyer (which may be granted or withheld for any reason or no reason). Securityholder shall deliver to Buyer at any time after Closing upon Buyer’s request, any and all copies of Confidential Information (regardless of medium) in Securityholder’s possession or control.

5. Understanding of Covenants.

(a) The recitals to this Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference. Securityholder acknowledges and agrees with such recitals, and further agrees that the value of the consideration paid by Buyer in connection with the Merger Agreement is substantial and that preservation of the confidential and proprietary information, goodwill, know-how, stable workforce, and customer relations of the Company and any of their Affiliates is a material part of the consideration which Buyer is receiving under the Merger Agreement.

(b) Securityholder further acknowledges and agrees that Securityholder (i) is familiar with and has carefully considered the covenants set forth above in this Agreement, (ii) is fully aware of Securityholder’s obligations hereunder, (iii) has been actively involved in the management of the Company’s business, is a an equityholder of the Company, is in possession of the Confidential Information, and in continuing to provide services to Buyer following the Closing Date will continue to have access to Confidential Information (as well as other trade secrets and confidential information of Buyer), (iv) understands that one of the material inducements for Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement is Securityholder’s agreement to enter into an agreement containing the covenants set forth in this Agreement, (v) the goodwill and know-how associated with the Company prior to the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement is an integral, substantial and material component of the value of the Company to Buyer and is reflected in the value of the cash or Buyer equity being paid/issued in connection with the Merger for Securityholder’s equity in the Company, (vi) Securityholder’s agreement to the terms set forth in this Agreement is necessary to preserve the value of the Company for Buyer following the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (v) agrees to the reasonableness of the character, duration, geographic area and subject matter scope of the covenants set forth in this Agreement and that such covenants shall continue through the Restriction Period regardless of whether Securityholder receives any compensation from Buyer for employment or services during the Restriction Period, (vi) agrees that the Company currently conducts and/or currently has substantial and material plans to conduct the Restricted Business throughout the United States, (vii) agrees that the covenants set forth above in this Agreement are necessary to protect the Company’s Confidential Information, goodwill, know-how, stable workforce, and customer relations, and (viii) that such covenants are separately bargained-for consideration and are material inducements to Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement.

(c) Securityholder agrees that the covenants set forth above in this Agreement do not confer a benefit upon the Company disproportionate to the detriment of Securityholder. Securityholder represents that the execution of this Agreement, and the performance of Securityholder’s obligations under this Agreement, do not and will not conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of, any other Contract of which Securityholder is a party or any Order to which Securityholder is subject. Securityholder represents that Securityholder is competent and has all necessary authority to execute this Agreement, and that Securityholder has entered into this Agreement freely and voluntarily and not under duress.

6. Consideration. As consideration for Securityholder’s covenants set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement, Buyer has entered into the Merger Agreement, following which Securityholder will receive certain benefits in connection with the Merger in Securityholder’s capacity as an equityholder of the Company.

7. Injunctive Relief. Each Party agrees that any breach by the other of this Agreement (given, among other factors, the unique skills, position and exposure to Confidential Information at issue with respect to this Agreement) may cause immediate and irreparable harm to the non-breaching Party, that such harm may be difficult or impossible to measure, and that damages for the non-

breaching Party may therefore be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Therefore, each Party agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company, Buyer or Securityholder (whichever is seeking to enforce this Agreement) may seek an injunction restraining the Party in breach (or threatened to be in breach, as the case may be) from the conduct which would constitute a breach of this Agreement, specific performance and/or other appropriate relief in order to enforce and prevent any violations of this Agreement. Each Party further hereby waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to provide the inadequacy of money damages or to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. Furthermore, the Restriction Period shall be extended by the same time that the Securityholder is in breach of Section 3 of this Agreement.

8. Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies that Buyer may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder, and the obligations and liabilities of Securityholder hereunder, are in addition to their respective rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities under the law of unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets and the like. This Agreement does not limit Securityholder’s obligations or Buyer’s rights (or any present or future Affiliate of Buyer) under the terms of any employment, proprietary information, confidentiality, invention assignment or other agreement between Securityholder and Buyer.

9. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed given (a) on the date of delivery, if delivered in person, by facsimile (upon confirmation of receipt) or by e-mail prior to 5:00 p.m. in the time zone of the receiving party or on the next Business Day, if delivered after 5:00 p.m. in the time zone of the receiving party, (b) on the first Business Day following the date of dispatch, if delivered by a recognized overnight courier service (upon proof of delivery), or (c) upon receipt if delivered personally or by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement. All references to Sections mean the Sections of this Agreement, except where otherwise stated. The title of and the section and paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern or affect the interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement. The use herein of the masculine, feminine or neuter forms shall also denote the other forms, as in each case the context may require or permit. The singular or plural includes the other, as the context requires or permits. Where this Agreement uses specific language to clarify by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. This Agreement uses language that has been chosen carefully by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of construction shall be applied against either Party.

11. Governing Law; Disputes; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Delaware state court, or, if no such state court has proper jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America, sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and any transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such Proceeding except in such courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such Proceeding may be heard and determined in such Delaware state court or, if no such state court has proper jurisdiction, the such Federal court, (iii) 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 Proceeding in the state or Federal courts located in any such Delaware state or Federal court, and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding in the state or Federal courts located in any such Delaware state or Federal court. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions in the United States and throughout the world by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

12. Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate with the other Party and shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

13. Amendments, Modifications and Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by authorized officer of Buyer and Securityholder. No waiver by Buyer of any default, misrepresentation or breach hereunder by Securityholder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach hereunder by Securityholder or affect in any way any rights of Buyer arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

14. Independent Counsel. Each Party acknowledges that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice, or has had the opportunity to be represented by independent counsel of its choice, and that to the extent, if any, that it desired, has availed itself of this right and opportunity throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement, and that it has executed the same with the consent and upon the advice of such independent counsel. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting Party has no application and is expressly waived.

15. Integration. This Agreement is based on the premises and mutual promises contained herein and also upon the Merger Agreement. This Agreement, and the Merger Agreement upon which this Agreement is based, are the entire agreement of the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement, and all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, agreements, understandings, or representations, whether written or oral, that pertain to the subject matter of this Agreement, are expressly superseded hereby and are of no further force and effect. Each of the parties acknowledges that it has not relied on any promise, representation or warranty, expressed or implied, not contained in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.

16. Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and/or personal representatives, provided that neither this Agreement nor any interest herein shall be assigned or otherwise transferred, by operation of law or otherwise, by Securityholder without the prior written consent of Buyer. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer, whether expressly or by implication, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any person or entity other than the Parties, Affiliates of Buyer and the respective permitted successors and assigns of any of the foregoing.

17. Separate Covenants. This Agreement shall be deemed to consist of a series of separate covenants, one for each line of business included within the Restricted Business and each county, state, country or other region included within the Restricted Territory. The Parties expressly agree that the character, duration, geographic area and subject matter scope of this Agreement are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date upon which this Agreement has

been executed, including but not limited to Buyer’s need to protect the value of the Company’s assets, relationships, goodwill, know-how, and business it is acquiring. However, should a determination nonetheless be made by a court of competent jurisdiction at a later date that the character, duration, geographical area or subject matter scope of this Agreement exceeds that permitted by applicable Law in a particular jurisdiction, then the Parties agree that such provision(s) will be reformed to the maximum character, duration, geographical area and subject matter scope, as the case may be, permitted by applicable Law in such jurisdiction, without affecting the enforceability of any provisions of this Agreement in other jurisdictions. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed included herein because, taken together, they are more extensive (after giving effect to any reformation contemplated by the preceding sentence) than necessary or appropriate to assure Buyer of the intended benefit of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed among the Parties hereto that those of such covenants that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such proceeding shall, for the purpose of such proceeding, be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof in that jurisdiction.

18. Severability. The Parties desire and intend that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, in the event that any court of competent authority holds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason in any jurisdiction, then as to such jurisdiction, the offending provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and shall be ineffective within that jurisdiction, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement within that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of any provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an offending provision as described above could be more narrowly drawn or otherwise “blue-penciled,” modified or reformed so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in the jurisdiction where it was held to be offending, then it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed more narrowly drawn, blue-penciled, modified or reformed, by the minimum necessary to render it valid and enforceable in that jurisdiction, (i) with the nature and extent of such redrawing, blue-penciling, modification or reformation to be determined by a court of competent authority in accordance with applicable procedural and substantive law, and (ii) without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement within that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of any provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

19. Obligations. Securityholder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain in effect without regard to Securityholder’s employment or severance of employment with the Company, Company’s Affiliates, Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates.

20. Counterparts; Signatures. The Parties may execute this Agreement in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but both of which together shall constitute but one agreement. The delivery of a signature to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be sufficient for all purposes between the Parties.

II.

Provisions as to the Escrow Agent

2.1. This Escrow Agreement expressly and exclusively sets forth the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Escrow Agreement against the Escrow Agent. In performing its duties under this Escrow Agreement, or upon the claimed failure to perform its duties, the Escrow Agent shall have no liability except for the Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. In no event shall the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability with respect to the transfer or distribution of any funds effected by the Escrow Agent pursuant to wiring or transfer instructions provided to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Escrow Agreement. Any wire transfers of funds made by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Escrow Agreement will be made subject to and in accordance with the Escrow Agent’s usual and ordinary wire transfer procedures in effect from time to time, including without limitation call-back procedures. Buyer and Securityholder Representative understand that the Escrow Agent’s inability to receive or confirm funds transfer instructions pursuant to such security procedure may result in a delay in accomplishing such funds transfer and agree that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss caused by any such delay. No provision of this Escrow Agreement shall require the Escrow Agent to risk or advance its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability or potential financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its rights under this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action or to commence any proceedings in connection with this Escrow Agreement or any property held hereunder or to appear in, prosecute or defend in any such legal action or proceedings.

2.2. This Escrow Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Escrow Agent and Buyer and Securityholder Representative in connection with the subject matter of this Escrow Agreement, and no other agreement entered into between Buyer and Securityholder Representative, or either of them, including, without limitation, the Merger Agreement, shall be considered as adopted or binding, in whole or in part, upon the Escrow Agent notwithstanding that any such other agreement may be deposited with the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Agent may have knowledge thereof.

2.3. The Escrow Agent shall be protected in acting upon any written instruction, notice, request or instrument which the Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine and what it purports, to be, including, but not limited to, items directing investment or non-investment of funds, items requesting or authorizing release, disbursement or retainage of the subject matter of this Escrow Agreement and items amending the terms of this Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that no amendment to this Escrow Agreement shall be valid without Escrow Agent’s written consent.

2.4. The Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel of Escrow Agent’s choice, in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

2.5. In the event of any disagreement between Buyer and Securityholder Representative, or between either of them and any other party, resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the matters covered by this Escrow Agreement, or in the event that the Escrow Agent, in good faith, be in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent may refuse to comply with any claims or demands on it, or refuse to take any other action hereunder, so long as such disagreement continues or such doubt exists, and in any such event, the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way or to any party for its failure or refusal to act, and the Escrow Agent shall continue to refrain from acting u ntil (i) the rights of Buyer and Securityholder Representative and all other interested parties shall have been fully and finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) all differences shall have been adjudged and all doubt resolved by agreement among Buyer and Securityholder Representative and all other interested parties, and the Escrow Agent shall have been notified thereof in a writing signed by Buyer and Securityholder

Representative. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Escrow Agent may in its discretion obey the order, judgment, decree or levy of any court, whether with or without jurisdiction, or of an agency of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or of any agency of any State of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, and the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to comply with and obey any such orders, judgments, decrees or levies and it shall not be liable to either Buyer and Securityholder Representative hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding such writ, order or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. The rights of the Escrow Agent in this paragraph are cumulative of all other rights which it may have by la w or otherwise.

2.6. Buyer and Securityholder Representative, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and each of the Escrow Agent’s officers, directors, agents and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims made by any Party or any other person or entity, damages, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of every nature whatsoever (collectively, “Losses”) which any such Indemnified Party may incur and which arise directly or indirectly from this Escrow Agreement or which arise directly or indirectly by virtue of the Escrow Agent’s undertaking to serve as the Escrow Agent hereunder; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnity with respect to Losses that have been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been directly caused by such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement and any resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

2.7. Any entity into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity to which all or substantially all the escrow business of the Escrow Agent may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act.

The Escrow Agent may be removed and replaced following the giving of thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Escrow Agent by the mutual agreement of Buyer and Securityholder Representative. In either event, such resignation or removal shall be effective on the date set forth in such written notice, which shall be no earlier than thirty (30) days after such written notice has been furnished. Buyer and Securityholder Representative shall promptly appoint a successor escrow agent. On the effective date of the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Funds (including any interested earned thereon) to any successor escrow agent agreeable to Buyer and Securityholder Representative. In the event no successor escrow agent has been appointed on or prior to the date such resignation or removal is to become effective, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender into the custody of any court of competent jurisdiction all Escrow Funds and the Escrow Agent shall thereupon be relieved of all further duties and obligations under this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the appointment of a successor escrow agent hereunder.

III.

Compensation of the Escrow Agent

4.1. During the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund shall be deposited as indicated in Section 1.2 above. Any interest will accrue on Escrow Fund deposits beginning the day immediately following the day Escrow Fund deposits are received, based on the daily average balances of Escrow Funds so held in the Escrow Account. Any interest will be credited monthly and become part of the Escrow Fund. Deposits into the Escrow Account are insured, subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the FDIC, in the standard FDIC insurance amount of $250,000, including principal and accrued interest, and are not secured. Escrow Agent or its affiliates may receive compensation from third parties based on balances deposited in the Escrow Account.

4.2 Buyer and Securityholder Representative agree that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement, the owner of the Escrow Funds is the Buyer and all interest and income from the investment of the funds shall be reported as having been earned by Buyer as of the end of the calendar year in which it was earned, whether or not such income was disbursed during such calendar year, to the extent required by the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). On or before the execution and delivery of this Escrow Agreement, each of Buyer and Securityholder Representative shall provide to the Escrow Agent a correct, duly completed, dated and executed current IRS Form W-9 or Form W-8, whichever is appropriate, or any successor forms thereto, in a form and substance satisfactory to the Escrow Agent including appropriate supporting documentation and/or any other form, document, and/or certificate required or reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent to validate the form provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein provided, except for the delivery and filing of tax information reporting forms required pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be delivered and filed with the IRS by the Escrow Agent, as escrow agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to prepare or file any Federal or state tax report or return with respect to any funds held pursuant to this Escrow Agreement or any income earned thereon. Buyer and Securityholder Representative hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other cost or expense that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to the funds deposited under this Escrow Agreement or any earnings or interest thereon unless such tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other cost or expense was finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. The indemnification provided in this section is in addition to the indemnification provided to the Escrow Agent elsewhere in this Escrow Agreement and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

4.3 The Escrow Agent shall provide monthly reports of transactions and balances to Buyer and Securityholder Representative as of the end of each month, until the disbursement of all Escrow Funds. This Escrow Agreement shall terminate upon the final disbursement of all Escrow Funds.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

Re: Lock-Up Agreement

(“Parent”), Maia Acquisition IA Inc., a Delaware corporation, Maia Acquisition II Inc., a Delaware corporation, Futurevision 2020, LLC (the “Company”), the members of the Company and Futurevision Representative, LLC, solely in its capacity as the representative of the Members (the “Stockholder Representative”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

1. Lock-Up.

To induce Buyer and Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that commencing on the date hereof the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Issuer:

(a)

directly or indirectly sell, transfer, assign, pledge, make any short sale, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of the Parent Common Shares (the “Subject Securities”);

(b)

enter into any swap, forward or other arrangement that transfers all or a portion of the economic consequences associated with the ownership of the Subject Securities (regardless of whether any such arrangement is to be settled by the delivery of securities of the Issuer, securities of another person, cash or otherwise);

(c)

agree to do any of the foregoing or publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing; or

(d)

act jointly or in concert with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing,

prior to the lock-up release dates set forth below (each a “Lock-Up Period” in respect of Subject Securities then held).

The Lock-Up Period will commence on the Closing Date and will continue with respect to the Subject Securities as follows:


Percentage of Subject Securities		Expiration of Lock-Up Period
25		120 days following the Closing Date
25		210 days following the Closing Date
25		300 days following the Closing Date
25		390 days following the Closing Date

Notwithstanding the restrictions on the Subject Securities described above, nothing in this letter agreement shall prohibit or otherwise restrict or require the consent of any person in respect of:

(a)

transactions relating to securities of the Issuer acquired in open market transactions following the Closing Date;

(b)

the transfer of any or all of the Subject Securities to a registered investment plan or similar plan of the transferor, such as a registered retirement savings plan;

(c)

the transfer of any or all of the Subject Securities (A) to a personal holding company or a holding company or similar entity controlled by the undersigned for family or estate planning purposes, (B) to a fund, limited partnership, limited liability company or legal entity that is managed or controlled by or under common management with the undersigned, or whose manager or general partner, as applicable, is the same as or is an affiliate of the manager or general partner of the undersigned, as the case may be, (C) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (D) by will or intestate succession, or (E) to any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value. For purposes of this letter agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin;

(d)

the transfer (or agreement to vote or tender shares pursuant to a voting, support or letter agreement) of all or any of the Subject Securities pursuant to a take-over bid (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)), merger, amalgamation, plan of arrangement or other similar business combination transaction available to all holders of shares of the Issuer, involving a change of control of the Issuer, provided that if such take-over bid, merger, amalgamation, plan of arrangement or other similar business combination transaction is not completed, the Subject Securities owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this letter agreement; and

(e)

the transfer of all or any of the Subject Securities to any nominee or custodian of the undersigned provided that such nominee or custodian is only the registered holder of such transferred Subject Securities;

provided, however, that it shall be a condition precedent to any transaction contemplated in clause (c) or (e) above that the transferee execute and deliver to the Issuer an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving the Subject Securities subject to the provisions of this letter agreement and that such transferee shall be subject to the provisions of this letter agreement as if it were the undersigned.

2. General

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this letter agreement. The undersigned hereby authorizes the Issuer during the Lock-Up Period to cause any transfer agent for the Subject Securities to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the share register and other records relating to, Subject Securities for which the undersigned is the record or beneficial holder. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death, disability, dissolution, winding-up, amalgamation or incapacity of the undersigned and the associates and affiliates thereof and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the undersigned.

For the avoidance of doubt, during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall retain all rights of ownership in the Subject Securities, including voting rights and the right to receive any dividends that may be declared in respect thereof and paid in cash or Subject Securities.

The undersigned hereby further represents and warrants that (a) the undersigned is the sole beneficial owner of, or the sole person who can exercise control or direction over, the Subject Securities, with good and marketable title thereto free and clear of any and all mortgages, liens, charges, security interests, adverse claims, pledges, encumbrances and demands or rights of others of any nature or kind whatsoever, and the undersigned has the sole right to sell all of the Subject Securities, (b) except for the Merger Agreement, no person has any agreement or option, or any right or privilege (whether by law, pre-emptive or contractual) capable of becoming an agreement or option for the purchase, acquisition or transfer from the undersigned of any of the Subject Securities or any interest therein or right thereto, and (c) the only securities of the Issuer beneficially owned, or over which control and direction is exercised by the undersigned, directly or indirectly, on the date hereof, are the Subject Securities.

The undersigned agrees that the details of this letter agreement may be described in any material change report or similar required regulatory filing prepared by the Issuer (or by Buyer or any Buyer affiliate) or in connection with the execution and delivery of this letter agreement and the undersigned further agrees to this letter agreement being made publicly available (with the undersigned’s name redacted), including by filing on SEDAR, if required, in accordance with applicable securities laws. Except as required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange requirements, neither the undersigned nor the Issuer, Buyer or any of their Affiliates will, and will ensure that the entities controlled by each of them do not, make any public announcement with respect to the transactions contemplated herein or pursuant to the Merger Agreement without the prior written approval of Issuer, in the case of the undersigned, and the undersigned, in the case of the Issuer or Buyer.

This letter agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the close of trading on the last day of the Lock-Up Period (or, if the last day of the Lock-Up Period is not a trading day, at the start of trading on the trading day immediately following the end of the Lock-Up Period); or (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing.

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).

ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN THE COUNTIES OF NEW YORK, NASSAU OR SUFFOLK, NEW YORK, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

(“Parent”), Buyer, Maia Acquisition IA Inc., Maia Acquisition II Inc. (“Merger Sub II”), Futurevision Holdings, Inc.

WHEREAS, the Company operates a recreational marijuana center in Longmont, Colorado (“Longmont”).

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase the Company.

WHEREAS, the transfer of the Company to Buyer may not occur until at least January 1, 2022 (the “Regulatory Transfer Date”).

WHEREAS, contingent upon the conditions described herein, Seller hereby grants to Buyer an option, exercisable on or after the Regulatory Transfer Date, to purchase the Company, subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the mutual agreements that follow, the parties agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. Grant of Option. The Sellers and the Company hereby grant to the Buyer an exclusive, irrevocable option (the “Option”) to acquire the Company, for a purchase price of $7,069,536 (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be payable, and subject to adjustment, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the merger agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Merger Agreement”).

2. Condition. On or prior to April 1, 2022, either (a) Buyer shall have entered into a definitive agreement (the “Buyer Divestiture Agreement”) to sell its recreational marijuana center located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxx Xx., Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 and the associated recreational marijuana center license (No.#402R-00718 / Local # 402R-00718) to a third-party (the “Buyer Divestiture”) or (b) Buyer shall otherwise be legally permitted to acquire the Company, whether due to a change in Longmont rules and regulations related to the ownership of cannabis licenses, an accommodation from Longmont cannabis regulators, or otherwise (clause (a) or (b), the “Option Exercise Condition”).

3. Exercise of Option. If the Option Exercise Condition has been satisfied, the Buyer may exercise the Option at any time between the Regulatory Transfer Date and on or prior to the Option Exercise Outside Date. As used herein, the “Option Exercise Outside Date” shall mean 10:00 am New York Time on April 31, 2022; provided, however, that the Option Exercise Outside Date shall automatically extend if and for so long as (i) the Buyer has entered into a Buyer Divestiture Agreement, (ii) the Buyer Divestiture has not closed solely because the parties to such sale have not received all regulatory approvals necessary to consummate such closing, (iii) Buyer is in compliance with Section 7.7, and (iv) the parties to the Buyer Divestiture have not received a final, non-appealable determination from any state or local cannabis regulator that such regulator will not approve the Buyer Divestiture.

4. Exercise of Put. If the Option Exercise Condition has been satisfied and Buyer has not exercised the Option on or prior to the Option Exercise Outside Date, then Seller shall have the right, beginning on the date following the Option Exercise Outside Date and lasting until three (3) months thereafter to require Buyer to exercise the Option (the “Put”) by providing Buyer written notice thereof. Promptly following the exercise of the Option or the Put, but in any case within fourteen (14) days thereafter (the “Execution Date”), the Parties shall enter into the Merger Agreement, together with any additions, modifications or deletions to which the Parties mutually agree.

5. Term; Make Whole Fee. In the event that (a) the Option Exercise Condition is not satisfied on or prior to April 1, 2022; (b) the closing of the acquisition of the Company by Buyer (the “Closing”) does not occur by the Closing Outside Date (except as described in subsection (z) hereunder); or (c) Buyer breaches its representations and warranties under Section 8.2, which breach materially adversely affects Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder, including the Closing and satisfaction of the Option Exercise Condition, then, in each case, after notice from the Company to Buyer and five (5) business days’ opportunity to cure, the Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(b) and Buyer shall pay to the Sellers an amount in cash equal to $3,500,000 in the aggregate (the “Make Whole Fee”). As used herein, the “Closing Outside Date” shall mean the date that is four (4) months following the Execution Date; provided, however, that, with regard to Section 5(b) only, the Closing Outside Date shall automatically extend if and for so long as (i) the Closing shall not have occurred by such date solely because the Parties have not received all regulatory approvals necessary to consummate the Closing, (ii) the Buyer and the Company are continuing to work in good faith to obtain such regulatory approvals and (iii) the Parties have not received a final, non- appealable determination from any state or local cannabis regulator that such regulator will not approve the acquisition of the Company by the Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Make Whole Fee shall not be payable by the Buyer to the Sellers and Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(c) (x) in the event of any material breach by Seller of its representations and warranties under Section 8.1 or in the Merger Agreement or its covenants under Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.4 or in the Merger Agreement (in each case without regard for or giving effect to the terms “material”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifiers), after notice from Buyer and a reasonable

opportunity to cure; (y) in the event of a Material Adverse Effect; or (z) if the Closing does not occur by the Closing Outside Date primarily due to any action (or inaction) of any Seller Party which is in breach of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement. Any amounts payable to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 5 shall accrue interest at the rate of six percent (6%) from the date the obligation to pay such amounts is incurred.

Services Agreement

BUSINESS SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Business Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [ ] (the “Effective Date”), by and between Columbia Care, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Columbia Care”) and Medicine Man Longmont, LLC (“Medicine Man”).

WHEREAS, Columbia Care has experience in providing business support and consulting services to regulated marijuana businesses;

WHEREA, Medicine Man possesses licenses (the “Licenses”) issued by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (the “MED”) for the operation of a regulated marijuana business at 000 X. Xxxxxx Xx. Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 (the “Licensed Premises”); and

WHEREAS, Medicine Man desires to engage Columbia Care to provide the services listed on Schedule 1 for the operations at the Licensed Premises (the “Services”) and Columbia Care desires to provide the Services to Medicine Man.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Services.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Columbia Care shall provide, or cause one or more of its Employees (as defined on Schedule 1) to provide, the Services set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, as requested by Medicine Man from time to time. In addition, if any services, functions, responsibilities or other components of work for any Services are not specifically described on Schedule 1 but are indispensable to the performance or provision of the Services, those services, functions, responsibilities or other components of work will also be included as Services under this Agreement; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that Columbia Care shall not be required to provide any third party services not expressly contemplated under Schedule 1.

(b) Compensation for Services. Medicine Man shall pay to Columbia Care a monthly fee of $10,087.67 (the “Fee”).

(c) Schedule for Services. Columbia Care shall cause one or more of its Employees to perform the Services on a schedule mutually agreed upon by the parties. Columbia Care shall document time spent performing the Services in a manner that is satisfactory to Medicine Man in Medicine Man’s reasonable discretion.

2. Limitation of Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL COLUMBIA CARE OR ITS AFFILIATES OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE, TO MEDICINE MAN OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT

LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF REVENUES, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REPUTATION, LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER LOSS) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY CLAIM MADE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES OR THE FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, UNLESS SUCH DAMAGES ARE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENT, RECKLESS OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF COLUMBIA CARE OR ITS EMPLOYEES.

3. Relationship of the Parties.

(a) Columbia Care shall be an independent contractor of Medicine Man for all purposes hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement will constitute or be construed to be or create a partnership or joint venture between Medicine Man and Columbia Care. Columbia Care further acknowledges that neither Columbia Care nor any individual employed by Columbia Care or acting on Columbia Care’s behalf will be treated or regarded as a Medicine Man employee under the laws or regulations of any government or governmental agency or for state or federal tax purposes. Columbia Care shall assume all responsibility for the Services performed by Columbia Care and Columbia Care employees. While the Services contracted for shall be performed at the direction of Medicine Man, Columbia Care shall retain and exercise primary direction over the manner of the work performed by the Columbia Care employees performing such work necessary to deliver the Services, with the express exception of any work inherently related to privileges or authorizations exclusive to regulated marijuana business licensees.

(b) Medicine Man shall at all times retain control of the Licensed Premises and all Services performed by Columbia Care shall be in compliance with directives from Medicine Man and subject to Medicine Man approval. The parties acknowledge that the Services contemplate hereunder are not intended to permit Columbia Care to exercise “Control” over Medicine Man or any of Medicine Man’s operations, as such term is defined in 1 CCR 212-3 (the “Code”) including, without limitation, Rules 1- 115 and 2-230(E) thereof. The parties further acknowledge this Agreement, and the parties’ obligations hereunder, may be subject to review by the MED and/or the City of Longmont (the “Local Authority”). In the event of a determination by either the MED and/or the Local Authority that this Agreement violates the Code or Local Authority ordinance, or a determination that this Agreement must otherwise be reformed, the parties shall negotiate in good faith for no less than sixty (60) days (the “Cure Period”) to reform this Agreement in accordance with guidance from MED and/or the Local Authority, respectively. If the Parties are unable to negotiate a reformation of this Agreement within such Cure Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

4. Representations and Warranties of Columbia Care. Columbia Care represents and warrants that:

(a) Columbia Care has the authority to enter into this Agreement. Columbia Care represents and warrants that neither Columbia Care’s entry into this Agreement nor Columbia Care’s performance of the Services will conflict with or result in a breach of any other agreement, arrangement, or obligation, of any nature whatsoever, to which Columbia Care is a party or by which Columbia Care is bound.

(b) Columbia Care will provide substantially the same level of service and use the same degree of diligence and care as Columbia Care or its Employees or subsidiaries provide and use in performing services of the same kind or nature as the Services on behalf of its own account in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

(c) Columbia Care shall perform the Services in a competent and qualified manner in accordance with standards common in the industry in which Medicine Man operates. In addition, Columbia Care shall comply with all state and local laws, including all requirements of the MED and Local Authority, as well as ethical standards applicable to the Services. Columbia Care shall comply with all Medicine Man policies for the operation of the regulated marijuana business as established from time to time.

5. Intellectual Property. All intellectual property rights of Columbia Care or any of its affiliates, including, without limitation, all manuals, trademarks, brochures, training materials, packaging, and branded material of Columbia Care (collectively “Columbia Care’s Intellectual Property”) shall at all times be proprietary to Columbia Care or its affiliates, and shall be the exclusive property of Columbia Care or its affiliates. Columbia Care hereby grants to Medicine Man a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-assignable, non-transferable license to use Columbia Care’s Intellectual Property for the Term (defined below). Upon any termination of this Agreement for any reason, Medicine Man shall cause all Columbia Care’s Intellectual Property to be removed and returned to Columbia Care from the Licensed Premises, without compensation to Medicine Man, within thirty (30) days of termination.

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Medicine Man shall retain the limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-assignable, non-transferrable license to use Columbia Care‘s Intellectual Property for a period of thirty (30) days following such termination solely as needed in order to transition the services to a new provider.

6. Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until July 31, 2022, unless terminated earlier pursuant to this Section 6 (the “Term”). This Agreement may be terminated in accordance with the following:

(a) by mutual written consent of the parties at any time;

(b) in writing by Medicine Man for convenience at any time;

(d) automatically upon the following:

any change in ownership of more than 50% of the membership interests in Medicine Man;

the transfer of the Licenses;

pursuant to Section 3(b); or

the revocation of the Licenses.

7. Miscellaneous.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, any Schedule(s) hereto and the agreements, instruments and documents among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(b) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with a written instrument executed by Medicine Man and Columbia Care. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), shall constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided, nor shall be effective unless in writing and executed by the party waiving compliance. No waiver by any party of any breach or violation of, default under or inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach, violation, default of, or inaccuracy in, any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(d) Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand, (b) the next business day when sent by overnight mail, postage prepaid with proof of delivery from the courier requested, (c) the next business day when sent by sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, or (d) when sent if in writing and sent by electronic mail.

(e) Assignment. No party hereto may assign (whether by operation of law or otherwise) either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Columbia Care may, without obtaining the prior written consent of Medicine Man, assign any of its rights, or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to any affiliate of Columbia Care. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment or delegation of rights or obligations in violation of this Section 7(e) is void and of no force or effect.

(f) Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(g) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to negotiate in good faith to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

(h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Colorado, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof, as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

(i) Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

(j) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic mail.

(k) Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.
