Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not assume and shall not be responsible to pay, perform, or discharge any Excluded Liability. At the time of execution of this Agreement, the Seller has identified certain known liabilities on the Disclosure Schedule (the “Known Liabilities”). The Known Liabilities are considered Excluded Liabilities under this Agreement.
Section 2.03 Assumption of Management. The Parties shall enter into the Management Assignment Agreement attached hereto as Schedule VIII and entered into contemporaneously herewith (the “Management Assignment Agreement”). The Buyer shall assume all management and control of the Business on either: (a) July 15, 2019; or (b) an earlier or later date to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing (the “Transition Date”).
Section 2.04 Purchase Price. The aggregate value of purchase price for the Purchased Assets shall be Six Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,700,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid to Seller, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the substance and form as follows:
(a) Amended Note Forgiveness. Buyer and the sole shareholder of Seller holding one hundred percent (100%) of the rights related to the Purchased Assets, Green Light District Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “GLDH”), previously entered into a binding interim purchase agreement (the “Prior Agreement”) and in connection therewith, GLDH issued Buyer senior secured convertible notes (the “GLDH Notes”) to Buyer’s parent entity, Body and Mind Inc., a Nevada corporation (BaM”) in the aggregate amount of Five Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,200,000.00) (the “Principal Amount”). The GLDH Notes are secured with a General Security Agreement and UCC-1 Financing Statement in all U.S. states where GLDH has assets. The Parties have entered into the Loan Agreement, Guaranty, and Security Agreement attached to the Settlement Agreement as Exhibit A replacing the Prior Agreement (the “Loan Documents”). As part of the Loan Documents, Seller has agreed to become a Guarantor under the GLDH Notes, pledging the Purchased Assets as collateral as set forth in the Loan Documents. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to, Section 2.04(c)(i), the Principal Amount (as set forth in the Loan Documents) shall be applied to the Purchase Price at the Closing and all other amounts owing under the Loan Documents shall be forgiven and Seller shall be released from liability in connection with the Loan Documents.
(b) Share Payment. The remaining portion of the Purchase Price shall be paid with One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) of BaM’s common shares at a price of $0.7439 CAD per share and an exchange rate of 1.3296 (the “Share Value Calculation”) for a total possible payment of Two Million Six Hundred and Eighty One Thousand Six (2,681,006) shares, subject to the Share Payment Reductions set forth in Section 2.04(c) below (the “Share Payment”). The Share Payment shall be subject to the mandatory six (6) month exchange holding period. Within two (2) business days following the Transition Date, the Buyer shall initiate the process to issue the Share Payment, which shall be withheld, in its entirety, by Buyer or third-party escrow agent at Buyer’s sole discretion until Closing. The Withheld Shares shall subject to Section 2.04(c), and in no event shall Buyer be granted any rights with respect to the Withheld Shares prior to the Closing.
(c) Share Payment Reductions.
(i) Liabilities Deduction. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, on the Transition Date, the Parties shall evaluate the value of the Business’s total liabilities by calculating the value of the current sum of all Known Liabilities and other outstanding liabilities, not including the Assumed Liabilities, offset by: (a) the Business’s available cash; plus (b) the value of the Business’s inventory; plus (c) Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) to determine the outstanding liabilities as of the Transition Date; (the “Pre-Closing Liabilities”). The Share Payment shall be reduced by the amount of the Pre-Closing Liabilities as determined by the Parties. For the purposes of example, if the Parties determine that on the Transition Date, the Pre-Closing Liabilities equal Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), the Share Payment shall be reduced such that the total Share Payment (including the Withheld Shares) shall be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) of BaM’s common shares at the Share Value Calculation for a total of One Million Seven Hundred and Eighty Seven Thousand Three Hundred Thirty Seven (1,787,337) shares. In the event the Pre-Closing Liabilities exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00), Buyer shall have no obligation to make the Share Payment set forth herein and upon Closing, the Buyer shall reduce its forgiveness of the Loan Documents by the amount of the Pre-Closing Liabilities in excess of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00). For the purposes of example, if the Pre-Closing Liabilities equal One Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,600,000.00), all but One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) of the outstanding amount under the Loan Documents shall be forgiven upon Closing in accordance with Section 2.04(a). The remaining One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) outstanding under the Loan Documents shall accrue interest and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.
(ii) Litigation Loan Deduction. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Litigation Loan has not been paid in full prior to Closing, Buyer reserves the right to withhold the number of shares equal of the value of the outstanding principal and interest of the Litigation Loan until such amounts have been paid in full.
(d) Contemporaneous Loan Forgiveness. The Parties shall enter into the loan agreement attached to the Settlement Agreement as Schedule X (the “Contemporaneous Loan”). The Contemporaneous Loan shall be secured by the Guarantee Agreement wherein Seller shall guarantee re-payment of the Contemporaneous Loan (the “Contemporaneous Guarantee”). As part of the purchase price, Buyer shall provide forgiveness for all amounts owing under the Contemporaneous Loan at the Closing. In the event that the Closing does not occur, all amounts shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contemporaneous Loan.
(e) Assumption of Assumed Liabilities. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume the Assumed Liabilities.
(d) Transfer Taxes. Any and all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and such other Taxes and fees due in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be the responsibility of the Buyer.
Section 2.05 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as shown on the Allocation Schedule. The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.
Section 2.06 Third Party Consents. To the extent that Seller’s rights under any Purchased Asset may not be assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Seller, at its expense, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law and the Purchased Asset, shall act after the Closing as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the Purchased Asset, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer.

Section 8.14 Jurisdiction and Disputes.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of California.
(b) In the event of any claim arising out of or relating to any performance required under this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity or enforceability hereof (each, a “Claim”), the Parties shall use their best efforts to settle the Claim. 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 Claim 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 thirty (30) days then upon notice by either Party to the other they shall commence arbitration as set forth below.
(c) The Parties agree to submit any and all Actions, or any dispute related in any way to this Agreement and the services rendered hereunder, to binding arbitration before JAMS.

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, either party may apply to the Superior Courts located in Los Angeles County, California 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. In no event shall an Action be adjudicated in Federal District Court. In the event that either party commences an Action in Federal District Court or moves to remove such action to Federal District Court, the Parties hereby mutually agree to stipulate to a dismissal of such Federal Action with prejudice. 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. 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 commencement of the arbitration proceedings. The prevailing party may submit the arbitrator’s decision to Superior Courts located in Los Angeles County for an entry of judgment thereon.
