13. Inspection and Audit Rights. Acres hereby grants to MJNE, and each of its
authorized Representatives, the right, not more than once during any six (6)
month period during the Term and within six (6) months after the earlier of the
expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Agreement, to access to
Acres’ premises (including Acres’ manufacturing operations used in production of
the Goods) and all pertinent books, records and accounts for the purpose of
auditing Acres’ compliance with the terms of this Agreement and any other
agreements between MJNE and Acres. Acres shall cooperate with MJNE in connection
with any such audit or inspection. Acres shall maintain, during the Term and for
a period of six (6) months after the Term, complete and accurate books and
records relating to the sale of the Goods in accordance with GAAP. Acres shall
segregate its records and otherwise cooperate with MJNE so as to facilitate any
audit by MJNE solely for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of any fee paid
to MJNE pursuant to the Consulting Agreement. Acres shall reimburse MJNE for the
amount of any underpayment of consulting fees discovered during an audit. In
addition, Acres shall reimburse MJNE for the amount of MJNE’s reasonable costs
and expenses incurred in conducting the audit if the results of such audit
indicate that such discrepancy is greater than ten percent (10%) of the total
amount actually payable by MJNE for the period examined. If requested by MJNE,
Acres shall use its best efforts to permit MJNE and its Representatives to
obtain from subcontractors or other suppliers to Acres the information and
permission to conduct the reviews specified with respect to Acres in this
Section 13.

 

14. Improvement of MJNE’s Facility.

 

14.1 Improvement of MJNE’s Facility. Acres owns that certain real property
located at 950 E. Anvil Road, Amargosa Valley, NV 89010, and commonly referred
to as Nye County Parcel Number 019-751-03 (together with all improvements
thereon, easements, rights of way, privileges, licenses, appurtenances and other
rights and benefits belonging thereto or running therewith, or otherwise related
thereto and belonging to Acres, the “Facility”). MJNE, in conjunction with terms
and conditions of the Equipment Lease , accepts that portion of the Facility as
described on Exhibit C-1 (“MJNE’s Facility”) and the existing portions thereof,
in its present condition, “as-is, where-is, with all faults,” without any
representation or warranty of any kind by Acres, except suitability of
fulfilling the purpose of this Agreement and as otherwise expressly set forth
herein. The Parties hereto agree that construction of MJNE’s Facility has been
completed and operational as of the date of this Agreement.

 

12

 

 

14.2 Prohibition. Except for the approved MJNE’s previous Facility Improvements
and other Permitted Alterations (as defined below), MJNE shall make no
alterations, decorations, installations, additions or improvements in or to the
Facility (or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, MJNE’s
Facility) or the electrical, plumbing, mechanical or HVAC systems or equipment
serving the Facility (or any portion thereof, including, without limitation,
MJNE’s Facility), including but not limited to, any wireless intranet or
internet or communications network, a water cooler, air-conditioning or cooling
system, mechanical or electrical equipment, or any unit or part thereof or other
apparatus of like or other nature, without Acres’ express prior written consent,
not to be unreasonably withheld. All work, alterations, decorations,
installations, additions or improvements of whatever nature shall be done by
contractors or mechanics reasonably approved by Acres at MJNE’s sole cost and
expense, at such times and in such manner as Acres may from time to time
designate and in full compliance with applicable Laws. Upon approval and prior
to commencing any such work, alterations, decorations, installations, additions
or improvements of whatever nature, MJNE shall provide Acres with true and
correct copies of any and all related contracts with such contractors or
mechanics, as well as any related contracts with MJNE’s architects. MJNE shall
cause all of MJNE’s contractors and subcontractors engaged in the performance of
work on behalf of MJNE to effect and maintain and deliver to Acres and MJNE
certificates evidencing the existence of, and covering Acres, MJNE and MJNE’s
contractors, prior to the commencement of any work by or on behalf of MJNE’s and
until the completion thereof, of the workers’ compensation insurance, employer’s
liability insurance, commercial general liability insurance and commercial
automobile liability insurance policies in the amounts required pursuant to
Section 15 or as otherwise expressly approved in advance in writing by Acres and
in compliance with the terms thereof; it being understood that the foregoing
shall not diminish in any manner MJNE’s responsibility to at all times carry all
insurance required pursuant to Section 15 in the manner required thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, MJNE shall have the right, without Acres’ consent
from time to time during the Term, to make alterations, decorations,
installations, additions or improvements in or to MJNE’s Facility which (a) are
not Major Alterations (for purposes hereof, “Major Alteration(s)” shall mean
those that require entry into, or affect, another occupant’s premises at the
Facility), (b) cost less than Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars U.S. ($50,000.00
U.S.) in the aggregate for any twelve (12) month period, (c) are cosmetic in
nature, and (d) are consistent with the terms of this Agreement and all
applicable Laws (the “Permitted Alterations”); provided, however, MJNE shall
notify Acres ten (10) days in advance of the making of any such Permitted
Alterations.

 

14.3 Mechanics Liens.

 

(a) If any mechanic’s lien is filed against the Facility (or any portion
thereof, including, without limitation, MJNE’s Facility) for work done for or
materials furnished to MJNE, it shall be discharged by MJNE within sixty (60)
days thereafter, at MJNE’s sole cost and expense, by filing the bond required by
law or payment or otherwise. If MJNE fails to discharge such lien, then Acres
shall have, following at least five (5) days’ prior written notice to MJNE, the
right, in addition to all other rights and remedies contained herein, to
discharge same (by filing the bond required by law or by payment in full of the
mechanic’s lien or otherwise) and Acres’ costs and expense in obtaining such
discharge, with interest accruing thereon from the date of payment, shall be
repaid in full by MJNE to Acres within ten (10) days after written demand
therefor. In addition, MJNE shall defend, save and hold Acres harmless from any
such mechanic’s lien or claim, including, without limitation, Acres’ reasonable
attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses. Acres shall not be liable for any failure
of any facilities or services at or serving MJNE’s Facility including, but not
limited to, the HVAC installations, and/or additions by MJNE, and MJNE shall
correct any such faulty installation. Upon MJNE failure to correct same,
following at least five (5) days’ prior written notice to MJNE, Acres may make
such correction and charge MJNE for the cost thereof. Such sum due Acres shall
be paid by MJNE within ten (10) days of being billed therefor with interest
thereon.

 

13

 

 

(b) Pursuant to NRS § 108.234, Acres hereby informs MJNE that MJNE must comply
with the requirements of NRS § 108.2403 and NRS § 108.2407. MJNE shall take all
actions necessary under the laws of the State of Nevada to ensure that no liens
encumbering MJNE’s interest in the Facility arise as a result of MJNE’s work
(including the MJNE’s Facility Improvements), which actions shall include,
without limitation, the recording of a notice of posted security in the Official
Records of Clark County, Nevada, in accordance with NRS § 108.2403(1)(a), and
establishing a construction disbursement account pursuant to NRS §
108.2403(1)(b)(1) (MJNE acknowledges and agrees that it shall be obligated to
establish a construction disbursement account pursuant NRS § 108.2403(1)(b)(1)
and may not, without the express prior written consent of Acres, such consent to
be granted or withheld in Acres’ sole discretion, opt to instead furnish and
record, in accordance with NRS § 108.2403(1)(b)(2), a surety bond for the prime
contract for MJNE’s work at the Facility that meets the requirements of NRS §
108.2415). Acres shall approve MJNE’s prime contractor who will be performing
MJNE’s work. MJNE shall notify Acres immediately upon the signing of any
contract with the prime contractor for MJNE construction, alteration or repair
of any portion of MJNE’s Facility. MJNE may not begin any alteration or other
work in the MJNE Facility until MJNE has delivered evidence satisfactory to
Acres that MJNE has complied with the terms of this Section 14.3(b). Failure by
MJNE to comply with the terms of this Section 14.3(b) shall permit Acres to
declare an event of default and to terminate this Agreement after the expiration
of any applicable notice and cure periods.). Notwithstanding anything else to
the contrary contained herein, and upon execution of this Agreement, MJNE
acknowledges that Acres may execute a Notice of Non-Responsibility in a form
compliant with applicable laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances and
acceptable to Acres and its counsel and may record the same within three (3)
days of execution of this Agreement pursuant to NRS § 108.234. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Parties hereto agree that all improvements to date made to
MJNE’s Facility and the Facility Improvements are in full compliance with this
paragraph 14.3 and there are no mechanics liens pending or in force as regards
MJNE’s Facility.

 

14.4 Requirements Prior to Work Commencement. Other than with respect to
Permitted Alterations, prior to commencing any work, (including the MJNE’s
Facility Improvements) MJNE shall furnish to Acres:

 

(a) Copies of all governmental licenses permits (including, without limitation,
building permits) and authorizations, if any, which may be required in
connection with such work; provided, however, prior to submitting applications
for any such permits and authorizations with any governmental or
quasi-governmental authorities, MJNE shall submit the same to Acres for its
express prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon issuance
of any licenses and permits, MJNE shall comply with the terms and conditions
thereof and provide copies of the same to Acres’ upon Acres’ request.

 

(b) Such additional personal injury and property damage insurance (over and
above the insurance required to be carried by MJNE pursuant to the provisions of
Section 15) and general liability insurance (with completed operations
endorsement) for any occurrence in or about the MJNE Facility, in such limits as
are customary for the nature of the work to be done by MJNE and reasonably
satisfactory to Acres and with insurers reasonably satisfactory to Acres.

 

(c) Submit to Acres a copy of detailed plans and specifications including
drawings for layout, architectural, mechanical, and structural interior design,
signage, and fixturing and finishing work therefor, as well as an estimate of
related costs, for Acres’ review and reasonable express prior written approval.
For purposes of this Agreement, an “Acres Delay” shall be deemed to have
occurred if Acres fails to respond to MJNE request for any such approval within
ten (10) business days after receipt of request for such approval, or Acres
otherwise directly causes a delay in the completion of the MJNE Facility
Improvements. No extension of any period under this Section 14 shall occur
unless MJNE has notified Acres in writing within five (5) days after such
occurrence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acres acknowledgments receipt of all
of the foregoing documents in relation to MJNE’s Facility.

 

14

 

 

14.5 Performance. No alterations and/or additions shall be undertaken by or on
behalf of MJNE except under the supervision of a licensed architect and licensed
professional engineer reasonably satisfactory to Acres. All alterations and/or
additions shall at all times comply with all applicable laws, rules,
regulations, and ordinances and insurance requirements. MJNE, at its cost and
expense, shall (i) obtain all necessary municipal and other governmental
permits, authorizations, approvals and certificates for the commencement and
prosecution of such alterations and/or improvements and for final approval
thereof upon completion, to the extent required by the nature of such
alterations and/or improvements, (ii) deliver three (3) copies to Acres if any
such permits, authorizations and approvals are required, and (iii) cause all
alterations and/or improvements to be performed in a good and workmanlike
manner, using materials and equipment at least equal in quality to the original
installations of the Facility. All alterations and/or additions shall be
promptly commenced and completed and shall be performed in such manner so as not
to unreasonably interfere with the occupancy of any other subtenant, licensee or
occupant nor delay or impose any additional expense upon Acres in the
maintenance, cleaning, repair, safety, management, or security of the Facility
or in the performance of any improvements. If any additional expense is
incurred, Acres may collect the same from MJNE, and MJNE’s failure to promptly
pay the same within ten (10) days after demand therefor shall result in interest
accruing thereon until paid. Upon completion of MJNE’s improvements or
alterations (including the MJNE’s Facility Improvements), MJNE shall deliver a
complete set of “As Built” drawings and plans to Acres and contractors’
affidavits, in form consistent with applicable laws, rules, regulations, and
ordinances, and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all
labor and materials expended and used. MJNE, at its sole cost expense, shall
promptly procure the cancellation or discharge of all notices of violation
arising from or otherwise connected with its alterations and/or additions which
shall be issued by any public authority having or asserting jurisdiction. No
approval of any plans or specifications by Acres or consent by Acres allowing
MJNE to make any improvements or any inspection of improvements made by or for
Acres shall in any way be deemed to be an agreement by Acres that the
contemplated improvements comply or at any point will comply with any applicable
laws, rules, regulations, or ordinances or insurance requirements or the
certificate of occupancy for the Facility (or the CO for MJNE’s Facility) nor
shall it be deemed to be a waiver by Acres of the compliance by MJNE of any
provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acres acknowledges
that MJNE has fully complied with this paragraph 14.5 in regard to MJNE’s
Facility.

 

14.6 Labor. Acres reserves the right to exclude from the Facility any person
attempting to act as construction contractor in violation of this Section 14. In
the event MJNE shall employ any contractor permitted in this Section14, such
contractor or any subcontractor may have use of the facilities subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, the rules and regulations governing construction,
and all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances. MJNE will advise
Acres of the names of any such contractor and subcontractor MJNE proposes to use
in or at MJNE’s Facility at least ten (10) days prior to the beginning of work
by such contractor or subcontractor. MJNE agrees that it will not at any time
prior to or during the Term, either directly or indirectly employ or permit the
employment of any contractor, mechanic or laborer, or permit any materials in or
at MJNE Facility, if the use of such contractor, mechanic or laborer or such
materials would, in Acres’ reasonable opinion, create any difficulty, work
slowdown, sabotage, strike or jurisdictional dispute with other contractors,
mechanics and/or laborers engaged by MJNE or Acres or others, or would in any
way disturb the peaceful and harmonious construction, maintenance, cleaning,
repair, management, security or operation of the Facility or any portion
thereof. In the event of any interference or conflict, MJNE, upon demand of
Acres, shall cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers, or all materials
causing, in Acres’ reasonable opinion, such interference, difficulty or
conflict, to leave or be removed from the Facility immediately and MJNE does
hereby agree to defend (with counsel acceptable to Acres in its reasonable
discretion), save and hold Acres harmless from any and all loss arising thereby,
including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and any claims
made by contractors, mechanics and/or laborers so precluded from having access
to the Facility.

 

15

 

 

14.7 Inspection. Acres may inspect MJNE Facility and gain access thereto 24
hours a day, seven days a week.

 

14.8 Repairs. Except as otherwise provided, MJNE shall, during the Term, at its
sole cost and expense, keep and maintain MJNE Facility, including all buildings
and improvements of every kind that may be a part thereof, and all appurtenances
to the MJNE Facility, in good, sanitary, and neat order, condition and repair,
and MJNE shall, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, restore and
rehabilitate any improvements of any kind that may be destroyed or damaged by
fire, casualty, or any other cause whatsoever. Acres shall not be obligated to
make any repairs, replacements, or renewals of any kind, nature, or description,
whatsoever to MJNE’s Facility or any improvements thereon, except only in the
event of gross negligence by Acres

 

14.9 Use. During the Term, MJNE shall have the exclusive right to access and
occupy the MJNE Facility and Acres shall insure any other party, shall be
permitted to access the MJNE Facility without the prior written consent of MJNE,
except as required to comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations, and
ordinances, compliance audits or as otherwise permitted under the terms of this
Agreement. MJNE shall not, without the prior express written consent of Acres,
use or occupy the Facility (or any portion thereof, including, without
limitation, MJNE’s Facility), or permit the Facility (or any portion thereof,
including, without limitation, MJNE Facility) to be used or occupied, for any
purpose other than for the operation of the processing and production of Product
(as defined below) and performance of Services (as defined below) (the
“Permitted Use”).

 

14.10 Title to Improvements. All alterations, additions and improvements made by
or on behalf of MJNE (including the MJNE’s Facility Improvements) shall be
considered part of the Equipment Lease. Upon the termination of this Agreement
(whether by the expiration of the Term or prior termination in accordance with
the terms hereof), free title to all buildings and improvements then located at
or on MJNE’s Facility, together with all alterations, additions and improvements
thereto, other than only the following to the extent the same can be removed
without materially damaging the structure of the Facility or MJNE’s Facility,
shall automatically pass to and vest in Acres, free and clear of all claims to
or against the same by MJNE or any third person, upon payment of one dollar
($1.00) as defined in the Equipment Lease,: the fertigation system, water tanks,
and processing equipment (such items are each a part of and collectively the
“FWLE”). To the extent that the FWLE, or any portion thereof, can be removed
without materially damaging the structure of the Facility or MJNE’s Facility,
the same shall continue to be owned by MJNE and MJNE shall have the right to
remove and retain the same. MJNE shall defend and indemnify Acres against all
liability and loss arising from any such claims. For clarification purposes, any
and all building structures or installed and plumbed water, heating or cooling
systems shall remain with Acres and items such as lights, tables, cost of goods
items (not governed by NRS), shall be removed by MJNE.

 

16

 

 

14.11 Surrender and Re-Delivery of MJNE’s Facility. Upon the expiration of the
Term of this Agreement, or prior termination hereof, MJNE shall, at its sole
cost and expense, (i) promptly and peaceably surrender MJNE’s Facility to Acres
“broom clean,” in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; and
(ii) repair any major damage to Facility caused by or in connection with the
removal of any property from the Facility by or at the direction of MJNE. Before
surrendering MJNE’s Facility, MJNE shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove
only its movable personal property, trade fixtures, and any FWLE that can be
removed without materially damaging the structure of the Facility or MJNE’s
Facility, and all other property shall, unless otherwise directed by Acres,
remain in MJNE’s Facility and become the property of Acres without payment
therefor; however, MJNE shall not remove any personal property, trade fixtures
or other property from MJNE’s Facility without Acres’ prior express written
consent if the removal of such personal property, trade fixtures or other
property will impair or damage the structure of the building or any other
improvements, or if MJNE is in default under this Agreement or a circumstance or
event exists which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both
would cause MJNE to be deemed to be in default under this Agreement. If MJNE is
in default under this Agreement or a circumstance or event exists which with the
passage of time or the giving of notice or both would cause MJNE to be deemed to
be in default under this Agreement, Acres shall have a lien on such personal
property, trade fixtures and other property. All personal property, trade
fixtures, FWLE, and other property of MJNE not removed from MJNE’s Facility upon
the abandonment of MJNE’s Facility or upon the expiration of the Term of this
Agreement, or prior termination hereof, for any cause shall conclusively be
deemed to have been abandoned and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed
or otherwise disposed of by Acres without notice to MJNE or any other person and
without any obligation to account therefor. MJNE shall pay to Acres all expenses
incurred in connection with the disposition of such property in excess of any
amount received by Acres from such disposition. No surrender of MJNE’s Facility
shall be affected by Acres’ acceptance of the keys, or of amounts payable to
Acres by MJNE hereunder, or by any other means whatsoever without Acres’ express
written acknowledgement of such acceptance as a surrender. MJNE shall not be
released from its obligations hereunder in connection with surrender of MJNE’s
Facility until Acres has inspected MJNE’s Facility and delivered to MJNE a
written release, not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

14.12 Damage; Destruction. In the event that the Facility should be totally
destroyed by fire, tornado or other casualty, or in the event the Facility
should be so damaged that rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage, either Acres or MJNE
may, at their option, terminate this Agreement. In the event that the Facility
should be damaged by fire, tornado or other casualty covered by Acres’
insurance, and if the necessary rebuilding or repairs can be completed within
180 days after the date of such damage, or if such rebuilding or repairs would
take more than one hundred eighty (180) days to complete but neither Acres nor
MJNE elects to terminate this Agreement, then, in either such event, Acres
shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage, commence to
rebuild or repair the Facility, and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to
restore the Facility to substantially the same condition in which they were
immediately prior to the happening of the casualty, except that Acres shall not
be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the furniture, equipment,
fixtures and other improvements, which may have been placed by MJNE within the
Facility or related facilities, except in the event of gross negligence by
Acres. If the Facility is not totally untenantable, Acres shall allow MJNE a
fair diminution of rent during the time the Facility is unfit for occupancy. In
the event any mortgages under a deed of trust, security agreement or mortgage on
the Facility should require that the insurance proceeds be used to retire the
mortgage debt, Acres shall have no obligation to rebuild and this Agreement
shall terminate upon notice to MJNE. Any insurance which may be carried by Acres
or MJNE against loss or damage to the Facility shall be for the sole benefit of
the party carrying such insurance and under its sole control.

 

14.13 Condemnation; Eminent Domain. If, during the Term of this Agreement, or
any extension or renewal thereof, the Facility should be taken for any public or
quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right
of eminent domain, this Agreement shall terminate, effective on the date
physical possession is taken by the condemning authority, and MJNE shall have no
claim against Acres for the value of any unexpired term of this Agreement.

 

(a) In the event a portion but not all of the Facility shall be taken for any
public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation,
or by right of eminent domain and the partial taking or condemnation shall
render the Facility unsuitable for MJNE’s business, then Acres shall have the
option, in its sole discretion, of terminating this Agreement, or, at Acres’
sole expense, restoring and reconstructing the Facility to the extent necessary
to make the same reasonably tenantable. Should Acres elect to restore the
Facility, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and MJNE shall
have no claim against Acres for the value of any interrupted portion of this
Agreement.

 

17

 

 

(b) In the event of any condemnation or taking, total or partial, MJNE shall not
be entitled to any part of the aware of price paid in lieu thereof. MJNE hereby
expressly waives any right or claim to any part thereof, and Acres shall receive
the full amount of such aware of price.

 

15. Insurance.

 

15.1 Liability Insurance. During the Term, MJNE shall maintain a policy of
commercial general liability insurance (sometimes known as broad form
comprehensive general liability insurance) insuring MJNE against liability for
bodily injury, property damage (including loss of use of property) and personal
injury arising out of the operation, use or occupancy of the MJNE Facility. MJNE
shall name Acres as an additional insured under such policy. The initial amount
of such insurance shall be One Million- and 00/100-U.S. Dollars
(US$1,000,000.00) per occurrence. The amount and coverage of such insurance
shall not limit MJNE’s liability nor relieve MJNE of any other obligation under
this Agreement. Acres may also obtain comprehensive public liability insurance
in an amount and with coverage determined by Acres insuring Acres against
liability arising out of ownership, operation, use or occupancy of the MJNE
Facility. The policy obtained by Acres shall not be contributory and shall not
provide primary insurance.

 

15.2 Payment of Premiums. During the Term, MJNE shall maintain policies of
insurance covering loss of or damage to the MJNE Facility in the full amount of
its replacement value and such policies shall name Acres as an additional
insured. Acres shall have the right to obtain flood and earthquake insurance if
required by any lender holding a security interest in the MJNE Facility. Acres
may, but shall not be obligated, to obtain insurance for building improvements
installed by MJNE on the MJNE Facility. Acres shall not maintain insurance for
MJNE’s fixtures or equipment.

 

15.3 General Insurance Provisions.

 

(a) Any insurance which MJNE is required to maintain under this Agreement shall
include a provision which requires the insurance carrier to give Acres not less
than thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to any cancellation or modification
of such coverage.

 

(b) If MJNE fails to deliver any policy, certificate or renewal to Acres
required under this Agreement within the prescribed time period or if any such
policy is canceled or modified during the Term without Acres’ consent, Acres may
obtain such insurance, in which case MJNE shall reimburse Acres for the cost of
such insurance within thirty (30) days after receipt of a statement that
indicates the cost of such insurance.

 

(c) MJNE shall maintain all insurance required under this Agreement with
companies holding a “General Policy Rating” of A+ or better, as set forth in the
most current issue of “Best Key Rating Guide”. Acres and MJNE acknowledge the
insurance markets are rapidly changing and that insurance in the form and
amounts described in this Section may not be available in the future. MJNE
acknowledges that the insurance described in this Section is for the primary
benefit of Acres. If at any time during the Term, MJNE is unable to maintain the
insurance required under the Agreement, MJNE shall nevertheless maintain
insurance coverage which is customary and commercially reasonable in the
insurance industry for MJNE’s type of business, as that coverage may change from
time to time. Acres makes no representation as to the adequacy of such insurance
to protect Acres’ or MJNE’s interests. Therefore, MJNE shall obtain any such
additional property or liability insurance which MJNE deems necessary to protect
Acres and MJNE.

 

18

 

 

16. Miscellaneous.

EXHIBIT A
CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 1st day of
January 2019, by and between Acres Cultivation LLC, a Nevada limited liability
company (the “Company”), and MJ Holdings, Inc. (and its subsidiaries), a
publicly traded Nevada corporation (collectively the “Consultant”).

 

1. Consulting Relationship. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant will
provide consulting services to the Company as described on Exhibit 1 attached
hereto (the “Services”). Consultant represents that Consultant has the
qualifications, the experience and the ability to properly perform the Services.
Consultant shall use Consultant’s best efforts to perform the Services such that
the results are satisfactory to the Company.

 

2. Fees. As consideration for the Services to be provided by Consultant and
other obligations, the Company shall pay to Consultant the Distributable
Commission derived from the wholesale of the “Goods” (as defined in the related
Cultivation and Sales Agreement to which this Agreement is attached, i.e., the
“CSA”) (the “Fee”). The first payment of this Fee shall occur on the 10th day
after the month that a first sale of Goods occurs. All subsequent payments shall
be made monthly on the tenth (10th) business day following the end of the month.
As used herein, the term “Distributable Commission” shall mean the actual Net
Revenue multiplied by Sixty percent (60%) generated from the wholesale of the
Goods and realized by Company, less (i) any amounts owed by Consultant to
Company, including, without limitation, fees and costs associated with
agreed-upon services; (ii) any known or unknown fees and expenses payable to
third parties (it being understood, acknowledged and agreed by Consultant that
Company shall have no liability or responsibility for third-party costs
associated with the sale, collection or cost of the Goods; and (iii) Company’s
employment expenses, including, without limitation, W-2 related expenses
associated with the Goods. A sample worksheet detailing the reimbursements and
calculations is attached hereto as Exhibit 2. The Company shall keep separate
books and records relating to the sale of the Goods, as though the cultivation,
processing and wholesale of the goods were a stand-alone business of the
Company. Prior to Consultant generating positive Distributable Commission,
Consultant shall advance to Company any funds required to produce the Goods.

 

3. Term and Termination. Consultant shall serve as a consultant to the Company
for a period commencing on the April 18th, 2018 and shall thereafter continue
for Eight (8) years (the “Term”).

 

Upon termination of the CSA, to which this Agreement is attached, either party
may terminate this Agreement. Within forty-five (45) business days following the
termination of this Agreement, Company agrees to pay any amounts due to
Consultant for the preceding month.

 

4. Independent Contractor. Consultant’s relationship with the Company will be
that of an independent contractor and not that of an employee.

 

5. Method of Provision of Services. Consultant shall be solely responsible for
determining the method, details and means of performing the Services. Consultant
may, at Consultant’s own expense, employ or engage the services of such
subcontractors, partners or agents, as Consultant deems necessary to perform the
Services (collectively, the “Independent Contractors”). The Independent
Contractors are not and shall not be employees of the Company, and Consultant
shall be wholly responsible for compensation of any Independent Contractors and
for the professional performance of the Services by the Independent Contractors
such that the results are satisfactory to the Company. Consultant, Consultant’s
employees, agents and Independent Contractors who provide services on Company’s
premises will be required to obtain and maintain agent cards (“Agent Cards”)
issued by the DOT (as defined in the CSA). Any Consultant or Independent
Contractor that would be perceived by the Internal Revenue Service or the State
of Nevada as meeting the criteria of being considered an employee of the Company
shall no longer be utilized as a Consultant or Independent Contractor and must
be presented to the Company for potential employment with Acres. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if Company reasonably believes that
the continuation of employment of any Consultant employee, agent or Independent
Contractor would be detrimental to the Company’s privileged license, Company may
prohibit any such employee, agent or Independent Contractor from entering
Company’s premises or providing services to the Company hereunder.

 

 

 

 

6. No Benefits. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that Consultant and its
Independent Contractors shall not be eligible for any Company employee benefits
and, to the extent Consultant otherwise would be eligible for any Company
employee benefits but for the express terms of this Agreement, Consultant (on
behalf of itself and its employees) hereby expressly declines to participate in
such Company employee benefits.

 

7. Withholding; Indemnification. Consultant shall have full responsibility for
applicable withholding taxes for all compensation paid to Consultant or its
Independent Contractors under this Agreement, and for compliance with all
applicable labor and employment requirements with respect to Consultant’s
self-employment, sole proprietorship or other form of business organization, and
with respect to the Independent Contractors, including state worker’s
compensation insurance coverage requirements and any U.S. immigration visa
requirements. Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Company
harmless from any liability for, or assessment of, any claims or penalties with
respect to such withholding taxes, labor or employment requirements, including
any liability for, or assessment of, withholding taxes imposed on the Company by
the relevant taxing authorities with respect to any compensation paid to
Consultant or its Independent Contractors.

 

8. Supervision of Consultant’s Services. All of the services to be performed by
Consultant, including but not limited to the Services, will be as agreed between
Consultant and the Company. Consultant will be required to report to the
Company’s Manager concerning the Services performed under this Agreement. The
nature and frequency of these reports will be left to the discretion of the
Parties, but in any event shall occur not less frequently than monthly.

 

9. Conflicts with this Agreement. Consultant represents and warrants that
neither Consultant nor any of the Independent Contractors is under any
pre-existing obligation in conflict or in any way inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement.

 

10. Privileged License. Consultant acknowledges that the Company has been issued
licenses by governmental authorities that allow for the Company to own and
operate marijuana establishments in compliance with the laws of the State of
Nevada (the “Privileged License”) and will be subject the regulations
surrounding such Privileged Licenses. If requested to do so by the Company,
Consultant shall use its best efforts to obtain any license, qualification,
clearance or the like (including, without limitation, Agent Card(s)) which shall
be required of Consultant by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over
the Company. In the event Consultant determines complying with the obligations
imposed by the preceding sentence is not economically feasible, Consultant may
terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the Company. Moreover,
if: (i) Consultant fails to obtain the requisite license, qualification, or
clearance necessary to satisfy the requirements of this Section; (ii) the
Company is directed to cease business with Consultant by any such regulatory
authority; or (iii) the Company acting in good faith determines, in the
Company’s sole and exclusive judgment, that Consultant or any of Consultant’s
agents, designees or representatives (a) is engaged in any activity or
activities that reasonably jeopardize, the Company’s business or such Privileged
Licenses, or (b) if any such Privileged Licenses is reasonably threatened to be,
or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked, and (d) if Consultant refuses or
fails to cure the violation of subsection(s) (a), or (b), within a reasonable
period of time, then the Company shall have the right under this Section to
terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Consultant.
