Branded Packaging Pricing

[see attached]

[Exhibit C to License and Packaging Agreement]

Cookies Packaging Pricing Structure

Our Partnership

The licensee gets access to the Cookies Family of genetics and branding for a royalty. The way it is paid is through purchasing of packaging.

The royalty is a percentage of the wholesale price. We will work together with our partners to set wholesale pricing based on their market. We will lean on our partners experience in their market to set prices that make sense for the Cookies brand.

Our goal is to make the partnership as successful as possible. That includes helping out partners with their margins and pushing to get product to market at an “upscale-competitive-price.” That being said, will continue to work to get the COGs down. That savings will be passed on to the licensee. There will be a quarterly review of COGs to update.

EXAMPLE OF PRICING STRUCTURE:

●

Cookies Indoor Flower Jar

●	30 Dram Jar and Lid	-	$0.50
●	Tamper Evident Top Sticker	-	$0.08
●	Main Label and Strain Sticker	-	$0.10

●

$25 / 3.5g jar

At a 10% royalty, the licensee is to pay Cookies $2.50 per unit sold on top of the cost of the packaging.

That $2.50 will be split up proportionally across the packaging materials.

You will be charged:

●	30 Dram Jar and Lid	- $0.50 (Actual Cost) - $2.34 (Billed amount)
●	Tamper Evident Top Sticker	- $0.08 (Actual Cost) - $0.38 (Billed amount)
●	Main Label and Strain Sticker	- $0.10 (Actual Cost) - $0.46 (Billed amount)
●	TOTAL	- $0.68	$3.18 - Billed amount
●	Difference	- $2.50 (Royalty)

You will be charged $3.18, which is the $0.68 the packaging and the $2.50 royalty combined.

Licensee is also responsible for the cost of shipping of the packaging materials.

EXHIBIT D

Quality Standards

Production Procedures. Licensee will show proof of a third-party good manufacturing practice (“GMP”) successful audit. Acceptable GMP audit examples are CDPH inspection, ISO etc.

Manufacturer Monitoring. Licensee will monitor the production and packaging of each production run in accordance with Licensee’s quality assurance monitoring procedures to assure compliance with Product Specifications and Branded Packaging.

Lesser Quality Product. If any batch or bulk of dried flower or other Licensed Product is deemed to be a Non- Conforming Product (a “Lesser Quality Product”), Licensee may determine, in its sole discretion, if such Lesser Quality Product can be used for extraction or other Licensed Products as set forth in Exhibit B (e.g. concentrated oils and ingestibles) (“Alternative Use Product”). Licensor shall defer to Licensee’s discretion for using a Lesser Quality Product as an Alternative Use Product provided that such Alternative Use Product shall comply with Applicable Law.

Examination. Under the quality assurance monitoring procedures, for each Production Run, Licensee will examine samples of each Licensed Product prior to packaging and each Licensed Product after packaging. If the examination indicates a Licensed Product falls outside the permitted tolerances of the Product Specifications or Branded Packaging, Licensee will notify Licensor of such fact and will not take any further steps with the Production Run without the consent of Licensor.

Licensor Inspection. Licensor may observe and examine all operations, quality control procedures, production, and inventory records relevant to the production and packaging conducted pursuant to this Agreement. Licensor has the right, at any time, to perform its own inspection and quality assurance testing necessary to properly ascertain whether the Licensed Products and packaging comply with Product Specifications and Branded Packaging specifications.
