The Members shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement other than those set forth in the Objection Notice. If the Members fail to deliver an Objection Notice during such 30-day period, each amount set forth in the Closing Statement delivered to the Members in accordance with Section 2.08(a) shall be deemed final, binding, and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement, and shall constitute the “Final Closing Working Capital Amount,” the “Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount,“ the ” Final Closing Indebtedness Amount,” the “Final Closing Indebtedness Adjustment Amount,” and the “Final Closing Adjustment Amount,” as applicable.

(c)

Dispute Resolution.

(i) If the Members timely deliver to Parent an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 2.08(b), then the Members and Parent shall, during the 20 days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the Final Closing Amounts, which amounts shall each not be more than the highest amount calculated thereof and set forth in either the Estimated Closing Statement or Closing Statement nor less than the lowest amount calculated thereof and set forth in either the Estimated Closing Statement or Closing Statement. If, during such 20-day period, the Members and Parent agree as to any item of the Final Closing Amounts, then the Members and Parent shall execute a written acknowledgement of such amounts, which shall constitute the ” Final Closing Working Capital Amount, ” the ” Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount,” the ” Final Closing Indebtedness Amount, ” the “Final Closing Indebtedness Adjustment Amount,” or the ” Final Closing Adjustment Amount,” as applicable, and shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive on the Parties for purposes of this Agreement. If, during such period, the Members and Parent are unable to reach agreement on all or any of the Final Closing Amounts, then the Final Closing Amounts that remain in dispute shall be resolved by Xxxxx LLP (as of the Effective Date located at 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx) or, if Xxxxx LLP is unable or unwilling to resolve the dispute, by a commercially reputable firm of independent accountants with cannabis industry expertise having no material relationship with any Party and reasonably acceptable to both the Members and Parent (the “Accounting Referee”).

(ii) Within 10 days after the retention of the Accounting Referee, Parent and the Members shall jointly submit the matter to the Accounting Referee and instruct the Accounting Referee that it: (A) shall act as an expert in accounting, and not as arbitrator, to resolve, in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the Closing Date and in a manner consistent with Schedule 2.07(a), only the matters specified in any timely delivered Objection Notice that remain in dispute; (B) shall adjust the Closing Statement based thereon to reflect such resolution; (C) may not determine any Final Closing Amount in an amount that is more than the highest amount calculated thereof and set forth in either the Estimated Closing Statement or Closing Statement nor less than the lowest amount calculated thereof and set forth in either the Estimated Closing Statement or Closing Statement; and (D) shall deliver to Parent and the Member, as promptly as practicable and in any event within 30 days following the submission of the matters that remain in dispute to the Accounting Referee for resolution, a written report setting forth the Accounting Referee's determination of each Final Closing Amount submitted by the Parties to the Accounting Referee for resolution, which report shall include a worksheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and a calculation of the apportionment of the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee in accordance with Section 2.08(c)(iii). The Parties acknowledge and agree that, if any dispute is submitted to the Accounting Referee pursuant to this Section 2.08(c), the Final Closing Amounts, as determined by the Accounting Referee, shall, absent manifest error, constitute the “Final Closing Working Capital Amount,” the “Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount,” the “Final Closing Indebtedness Amount,” the “Final Closing Indebtedness Adjustment Amount,” and the “Final Closing Adjustment Amount,” respectively, and be final, binding, and conclusive on the Parties for purposes of this Agreement.

(iii) If requested by the Accounting Referee, Parent and the Members agree to execute a reasonable engagement letter. Each Party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such disputed items by the Accounting Referee, and the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee incurred pursuant to this Section 2.08(c)(iii) shall be borne by Parent, on one hand, and the Members, according to their Pro Rata Percentages, on the other, as determined by the Accounting Referee based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Referee's determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the disputed items. For purposes of illustration only, if the disputed items are $100 and if the final written determination of the Accounting Referee states that $80 of the disputed items are resolved in Parent's favor and $20 of the disputed items are resolved in the Members' favor, Parent would bear 20% of the Accounting Referee's fees and expenses , on one hand, and the Members would bear 80% of such fees and expenses, on the other. However, initially, any retainer charged by the Accounting Referee shall be paid 50% by Parent and 50% by the Members.

(e) Accounting Changes. Following the Closing, Parent shall not take, or permit the Surviving Company to take, any action with respect to the accounting books and records of the Surviving Company, or the items reflected thereon, on which the Closing Balance Sheet or any Final Closing Amount is to be based, that is inconsistent with the Company's past practices to the extent such actions would materially impede the calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount and the Closing Adjustment Amount in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with Schedule 2.07(a), and any such actions in violation of this Section 2.08(e) shall not be given effect for purposes of determining the Closing Working Capital Amount.

Section 2.09 Conversion of Membership Interests. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Member or any holder of membership interests of Merger Sub, all Membership Interests issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to adjustments as provided herein and in accordance with and in the form specified in Section 3.02(b).

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is a Member, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 10.0S(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 10.0S(b), pay, compromise, and defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Members and Parent shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 10.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 10.0S(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Proceeding 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 reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, 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. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company' s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. 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.

Section 12.05 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.06 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
