    In accordance with the Merger Documents and the DGCL, and immediately after giving effect to the Initial Purchase Transaction, Vessel shall be merged with and into the Acquisition Sub, and the

      specifically set forth in the Merger Documents, at the Effective Time, the identity, existence, corporate organization, purposes, powers, objects, franchises, privileges, rights, immunities, restrictions, debts, liabilities and duties (collectively,
      the "Corporate Rights") of the Acquisition Sub shall continue in effect and be unimpaired by the Merger, and the Corporate Rights of Vessel shall be merged with and into the Acquisition Sub, which shall, as the

              (a)

            	
              The certificate of incorporation of the Acquisition Sub (the "Charter") shall be amended and restated as a result of the Merger at the Effective
                Time to read in full substantially as set forth in Schedule 2.5(a), and, as so amended and restated, shall continue in effect as the Charter of the Surviving Corporation, unless and until altered, amended or repealed as provided by
                the DGCL.

                amended or repealed as provided in the By-Laws or as provided by the DGCL.

              From and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Acquisition Sub immediately before the Effective Time shall be the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation

                outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (excluding any Shares subject to the Initial Purchase Transaction) shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive (i) an amount in cash, without any interest thereon, equal
                to the Per Share Cash Merger Consideration, or (ii) the Per Share Stock Merger Consideration, in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and as set forth in the Consideration Allocation
                Spreadsheet.

                thereof, be converted into and exchanged for one share of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

              Each Share issued immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Shares subject to the Initial Purchase Transaction) and held by Vessel as treasury stock shall, by virtue of the
                Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

            


    

    
      	
              (e)

            	
              No certificates or book-entry representing fractional shares of Flora Shares shall be issued in connection with the Initial Purchase Transaction or upon the conversion of the Shares
                pursuant to (a)Section 2.6(a) and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of shares of Flora Shares.  In respect of any fractional Flora Shares otherwise issuable to
                Canadian Shareholders in connection with the Initial Purchase Transaction, the aggregate number of Flora Shares to be received by any Canadian Shareholder pursuant to the Initial Purchase Transaction shall be rounded down to the nearest
                whole number, without any payment of other consideration on account thereof.

              Tax Consequences of the Merger.

            


    

    For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the parties intend for the Initial Purchase Transaction together with Merger (together, the "Reorganization") to
      constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall be, and is hereby, adopted as a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). 
      Each of Flora, Acquisition Sub and Vessel agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Reorganization to so qualify and will not take any actions which could reasonably be expected to prevent the Reorganization from qualifying, as
      a reorganization 

    

    
      14

      
        


    

    

    

    under Section 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code, with Flora, Acquisition Sub, and Vessel each being a "party to the reorganization" in which gain or loss is only recognized to any party or
      the Vessel Shareholders to the extent of cash received. Further, the parties agree to report the Reorganization for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (including by attaching the
      statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a) on or with its return for the taxable year of the Merger), unless prohibited by Applicable Law.

              Tax Election for Canadian Shareholders

            


    

    A Canadian Shareholder, who receives Flora Shares pursuant to Section 2.1 as consideration for the disposition of such Canadian Shareholder's Shares and is eligible to make an election pursuant to
      section 85 of the ITA (and any analogous provision of applicable provincial income tax law) may request that Flora make a joint income tax election pursuant to section 85 of the ITA (and any analogous provision of applicable provincial income tax
      law) with respect to such disposition of such Shares for consideration that includes such Flora Shares, by providing two signed copies of the necessary joint election form to Flora within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, in the prescribed
      form, duly completed including with the details of the Shares disposed of by such Canadian Shareholder and the applicable agreed amount (within the prescribed limits pursuant to the ITA) for the purposes of such joint election.  Flora shall, within
      thirty (30) days of receiving the completed form, sign and return such form to the Canadian Shareholder for filing by such holder with the Canada Revenue Agency (and any applicable provincial tax authority).  None of Vessel nor Flora shall be
      responsible for the proper completion and filing of any joint election form, and except for the obligation to sign and return the duly completed joint election forms which are received within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, for any taxes,
      interest or penalties arising as a result of any failure of a Canadian Holder to properly or timely complete and file any such joint election in the form and manner prescribed by the ITA (or any analogous provision of applicable provincial law).  For
      purposes of any such joint election pursuant to section 85 of the ITA, the parties hereto agree that the fair market value of the Flora Shares shall be the Flora Share Price.

              (a)

            	
              The aggregate merger consideration (the "Merger Consideration") shall consist of: (i) EIGHT MILLION U.S. DOLLARS ($8,000,000) in cash (the "Cash Merger Consideration") and (ii) 4,557,318 Flora Shares (the "Stock Merger Consideration"), which includes the consideration to be issued in connection with the
                Initial Purchase Transaction.

            


    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Promptly following the date hereof, the Sellers' Representative shall distribute to each Vessel Shareholder and holder of Vessel Options an election form ("Election Form"). Each Election Form will permit the Vessel Shareholder and holder of Vessel Options to (i) elect to receive the Per Share Stock Merger Consideration with respect to any number of such holder's Shares
                specified in the Election Form (rounded down to the nearest whole share), (ii) elect to receive the Per Share Cash Merger Consideration with respect to any number of such holder's Shares specified in the Election Form (rounded down to the
                nearest whole share), or (iii) indicate that such holder makes no election as to such holder's Shares. Any election

              will have been properly made only if Vessel has actually received a properly completed Election Form no later than eight (8) Business Days after the date hereof (the "Election Deadline"). A submitted Election Form may be revoked or changed by written notice to Vessel only if such revocation or change is actually received by Vessel by the Election Deadline.  Subject to
                this Section 2.9, Shares as to which a holder does not submit a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline will receive the Per Share Stock Merger Consideration. The Sellers' Representative will make all determinations as to
                when any election, modification or revocation has been received and whether any such election, modification or revocation has been properly made.

            


    

    
      	
              (i)

            	
              Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, (A) the aggregate amount of cash that Vessel Shareholders and holder of Vessel Options shall have a right to receive
                pursuant to this Agreement shall be an amount equal to the Cash Merger Consideration, and (B) the aggregate amount of Flora Shares that Vessel Shareholders and holder of Vessel Options shall have a right to receive pursuant to this
                Agreement Section 2.6(a) shall be an amount equal to the Stock Merger Consideration.

            


    

    
      	
              (ii)

            	
              If the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Flora Shares elections are made pursuant to Section 2.9(b) multiplied by the Per Share Stock Merger Consideration would exceed the
                Stock Merger Consideration, or the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which cash elections are made pursuant to Section 2.9(b) multiplied by the Per Share Cash Merger Consideration would exceed the Cash Merger Consideration, then
                the Sellers' Representative shall make any adjustments to the allocation of the type of Merger Consideration among the Vessel Shareholders  and holder of Vessel Options such that the aggregate Merger Consideration will be equal to and
                comprised of the Cash Merger Consideration and the Stock Merger Consideration.

                of immediately prior to the Closing:  (1) the Per Share Cash Merger Consideration, (2) the Per Share Stock Merger Consideration, (3) the amounts of Merger Consideration to be paid or issued to each Vessel Shareholder in respect of their

                Days after such delivery and in exchange therefor, the portion of the Cash Merger Consideration (in cash by check or wire transfer in immediately available funds in accordance with the wire instructions provided by such Vessel Shareholder)
                and the Stock Merger Consideration that such Vessel Shareholder has the right to receive with respect to the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate (for each such Share, the Per Share Cash Merger Consideration and the Per Share
                Stock Merger Consideration, as set forth on the Consideration Allocation Spreadsheet), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.  No interest or dividends will be paid or accrued on the consideration payable upon the
                surrender or transfer of any Certificate.  If the consideration provided for herein is to be delivered in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate was surrendered, it shall be a condition of such delivery
                that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer accompanied by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not yet payable.  Until surrendered in accordance
                with the provisions of this Section 2.9(d), each Certificate (other than those representing Dissenting Shares or Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.6(d)) shall represent, for all purposes after the Effective Time, only the right to
                receive an amount in cash equal to the portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.6(a) in respect of the Shares formerly evidenced by such Certificate, without any interest or dividends thereon. 
                The Sellers' Representative shall be solely responsible for the allocation and the delivery of the Merger Consideration among the Vessel Shareholders as set forth in the Consideration Allocation Spreadsheet as contemplated by this Agreement

                Representative shall promptly deliver to Flora all Certificates and Letters of Transmittal received by the Sellers' Representative in accordance with this Section 2.9(d) and shall provide Flora such evidence as may be requested by Flora as

                such that each Vessel Option remaining unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and without any further action on the part
                of the holder thereof or Vessel, be cancelled and no longer be outstanding without payment of any consideration therefor except as provided in this Section 2.10 and (ii)  terminate the Vessel Option Plan, effective as of immediately prior
                to the Effective Time.

              (a)

            	
              Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time that is immediately prior to the Effective Time (and,
                for greater certainty, prior to giving effect to the Initial Purchase Transaction) and that are held by the Vessel Shareholders who did not vote in favor of the Merger and the adoption of this Agreement or consent thereto in writing and
                with respect to which appraisal rights shall have been duly and properly demanded and perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and not effectively withdrawn or forfeited before the Effective Time (collectively, the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, any portion of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or, in the case of any such
                Shares held by Canadian Shareholders, shall not be subject to the Initial Purchase Transaction.

              (b)

            	
              Such Vessel Shareholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262 (but only after the
                value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Dissenting Shares held by any holder of Dissenting Shares who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively
                shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive any
                portion of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided herein, of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares or the
                execution and delivery of a lost stock certificate affidavit to Vessel as set forth in Section 2.9(e).  From and after the Effective Time, no Vessel Shareholder who has demanded appraisal rights shall be entitled to vote his, her or its
                Shares for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on his, her or its shares.

            


    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              Vessel shall provide Flora prompt written notice of any demands received by Vessel for appraisal of Shares, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument
                delivered to Vessel prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Flora shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior
                written consent of Flora, Vessel shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

              Withholding.

            


    

    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Flora, Vessel, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any
      consideration otherwise payable under the terms of this Agreement such amounts as it is permitted to deduct and withhold pursuant to any provision of law, including those related to or regarding Taxes.  To the
      extent that amounts are so withheld under any provision of this Agreement, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipients in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

    Vessel and Seller’s Representative acknowledge and agree that any Stock Merger Consideration issuable hereunder will not be registered under the Securities Act, in reliance on one or more
      exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, including pursuant to Regulation D (if a Vessel Shareholder or holder of Vessel Options is in the United States) or Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act (if a Vessel Shareholder or
      holder of Vessel Options is outside the United States), and that Flora’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of each Vessel Shareholder contained in the Letters of Transmittal
      delivered in connection with Section 2.9 hereof and of each holder of Vessel Options in the Exercise and Cancellation Agreements delivered in connection with Section 2.10 hereof.

      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF VESSEL

    As an inducement to Flora to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Vessel represents and warrants to Flora, as of the date of this Agreement and as of
      the Closing Date as follows:

    
      	
              Section 4.1

            	
              Organization; Capital Structure; Power and Authority.

            


    

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              Vessel has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Vessel is duly qualified to transact business and is in good
                standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have
                a Material Adverse Effect on Vessel.  Vessel has all requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease and operate its assets and to carry on its business.

            


    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Vessel does not own any Equity Interest in any other Person.

            


    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              The authorized capital stock of Vessel consists of 35,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 25,301,440 are issued and outstanding and constitute the
                Shares.  All of the Shares are duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, were issued and granted in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law and the Organizational Documents of Vessel, and are owned,
                beneficially and of record, by the Vessel Shareholders listed on Schedule 1.1 in the respective amounts indicated thereon.  Except for the Vessel Options as set forth on Schedule 2.8 there are no other outstanding Equity
                Interests of Vessel.  No Equity Interests of Vessel have been issued in violation of preemptive or similar rights.  Except for this Agreement, or as set forth in Schedule 2.8, there are no agreements, arrangements,
                options, warrants, puts, calls, rights or commitments of any character relating to the issuance, sale, purchase, repurchase, redemption, conversion, exchange, registration, voting or transfer of any Equity Interests of Vessel.  All Vessel
                Options have been documented with the grant forms provided to Vessel without material deviation from the form.  The terms of the Vessel Option Plan and the applicable agreements for each Vessel Option permit (or will, prior to the Closing
                Date, be amended to permit) the cancellation and, if applicable, cashing out and termination of Vessel Options as provided in this Agreement.

            


    

    
      	
              (d)

            	
              The payment of the Merger Consideration to the Seller complies with, and the Consideration Allocation Spreadsheet shall be prepared in accordance with, applicable Law, Vessel's
                Organizational Documents and all other contractual requirements on the part of Vessel.  The Consideration Allocation Spreadsheet, when prepared, will accurately set forth the information required to be reflected therein pursuant to
                Section 2.9(c).

              (a)

            	
              Vessel has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and to perform this Agreement.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized and
                approved by all necessary corporate action, subject to receipt of the Vessel Shareholder Approval.  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Vessel and is (assuming the valid authorization, execution and delivery
                of this Agreement by Flora) the legal, valid and binding obligation of Vessel enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or
                affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.  The affirmative vote of the Requisite Vessel Shareholders is the only vote, consent, approval or other corporate action of the holders of the Shares, including any other
                security of Vessel, necessary to obtain the Vessel Shareholder Approval.

            


    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Subject to receipt of the Vessel Shareholder Approval and except as set forth in Schedule 4.2, neither the execution and delivery by Vessel of this Agreement and the consummation
                by Vessel of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor the compliance by Vessel with, or fulfillment by Vessel of, the terms, conditions and provisions hereof or thereof will:

            


    

    
      	
              (i)

            	
              conflict with, result in a violation or breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default, an event of default or an event creating rights of acceleration,
                termination or cancellation or a loss of rights under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance upon any of the Shares or any of the assets of Vessel, under (1) the Organizational Documents of Vessel, (2) any note,
                instrument, mortgage, lease, franchise, financial obligation or other Contract to which Vessel is a party or by which Vessel is bound, (3) any Court Order to which Vessel is a party or by which Vessel is bound or (4) any material
                Requirements of Law affecting Vessel, other than, in the case of clause (2), (3) or (4) above, any such violations, breaches, defaults, rights, loss of rights or Encumbrances that, individually or in the aggregate,
                would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Vessel or would not prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or

            


    

    
      	
              (ii)

            	
              require approval, consent, authorization or act of, or the making by Vessel of any material declaration, filing or registration with, any Person, except for (A) compliance with and
                filings under the Competition Laws (if applicable); (B) approvals, notices, authorizations or consents with respect to Contracts that do not relate to the development, transfer of ownership or in-licensing of any Intellectual Property
                material to any Product for which Vessel has software support obligations under a Contract as of the Closing Date (other than "commercially available off-the-shelf" licenses).

              Operations Since Interim Balance Sheet Date.

            


    

    Except as set forth in Schedule 4.4, from August 31, 2021 to the date of this Agreement, there have been no changes in the assets, results of operations or financial condition of Vessel
      which have had a Material Adverse Effect on Vessel.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.4, since June 30, 2021 to the date of this Agreement Vessel has conducted its businesses in the ordinary course.  Without limiting the generality of the
      foregoing, since August 31, 2021 to the date of this Agreement, except as set forth in Schedule 4.4, Vessel has not:

                Permitted Encumbrances;

            


    

    
      	
              (b)

                trademarks, service marks or trade dress, and social media accounts owned by Vessel, together with a general description of all material Know-how owned by Vessel (all Intellectual Property listed or required to be listed on Schedule 4.8(a)
                together with all other Intellectual Property that Vessel owns or purports to own, the "Owned Intellectual Property").  Schedule 4.8(a) also includes, in respect of each item of
                Registered Intellectual Property, as applicable, the patent number, registration number, registration date, filing date, registration or patent date, and status.  Vessel solely owns all right, title and interest in and to all Owned
                Intellectual Property, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), all Owned Intellectual Property is subsisting, valid and enforceable, and, in respect of any Owned Intellectual Property that is a pending
                application for Registered Intellectual Property, Vessel has not misrepresented or failed to disclose anymaterial facts or circumstances, or otherwise engaged in any conduct in respect of any such pending application that would adversely
                affect its validity or enforceability if and when such application is registered or issued.  Vessel has the right to use all Intellectual Property used in, held for use or necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted (the "Business Intellectual Property"), in the manner in which such Business Intellectual Property is currently used or intended to be used in the conduct of its business, which rights will survive the
                consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                provided to Vessel in confidence.  No Owned Intellectual Property is or has been subject to any Court Order that restricts, impairs, or otherwise imposes any obligation with respect to the validity, enforceability, disclosure, use,
                enforcement, prosecution, maintenance, transfer, licensing, or other exploitation of, or that otherwise relates to or affects, any Owned Intellectual Property.  No government funding or university or college facilities were used in the
                development of any part of the Owned Intellectual Property.

                administration or investment of the assets of such Benefit Plan have occurred, (ii) no lien has been imposed under the Code, ERISA or any other applicable law, and (iii) no prohibited transactions (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA
                or Section 4975 of the Code) have occurred.  Vessel has not made any filing in respect of any Benefit Plan under the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System or the Department of Labor Delinquent Filer Program.  No Benefit Plan, and
                neither Vessel nor any Benefit Plan fiduciary with respect to any Benefit Plan, in any case, is the subject of an audit or investigation by the IRS, the Department of Labor, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or any other Governmental
                Body, nor is any such audit or investigation pending or, to the Knowledge of Vessel Management, threatened.

              (d)

            	
              Schedule 4.13(d) identifies each of the Benefit Plans that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code ("Qualified Plans"). 
                Each Qualified Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS, all IRS qualification determination letters remain in effect and have not been revoked and, to the Knowledge of Vessel Management, there are no facts or
                circumstances that would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the qualified status of any such Qualified Plan.  Each trust established in connection with any Qualified Plan which is intended to be exempt from federal income taxation
                under Section 501(a) of the Code is so exempt, and no fact or event has occurred that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the exempt status of any such trust.

            


    

    
      	
              (e)

            	
              Except as set forth on Schedule 4.13(e), no Benefit Plan is, and neither Vessel nor any of its ERISA Affiliates contributes to, or has any liability or obligation, whether fixed
                or contingent, with respect to (i) Retirement Defined Benefit Arrangement, (ii) any multiemployer plan (within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA), (iii) any single employer plan or other pension plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA
                or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, (iv) any "multiple employer plan" (within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code), or (v) any multiple employer welfare arrangement (within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA).

            


    

    
      	
              (f)

            	
              Vessel has made, in all material respects, full and timely payment of, or have accrued pending full and timely payment of, all amounts (including all payments, benefits, contributions and
                premiums related to each Benefit Plan) which are required under the terms of each Benefit Plan and in accordance with applicable law.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.13(f), Vessel has no material unfunded liabilities with respect
                to any Benefit Plan.  For purposes of this Section 4.13(f), unfunded liabilities shall not include earned but unpaid vacation entitlements or other fringe benefits payable in the ordinary course of business.

            


    

    
      	
              (g)

            	
              Except as set forth in Schedule 4.13(g), other than routine claims for benefits, there are no actions, audits, investigations, suits, or claims pending or, to the Knowledge of
                Vessel Management, threatened (i) against any of the Benefit Plans or any administrator or fiduciary thereof or against the assets of any of the Benefit Plans, or (ii) by or on behalf of any of the Benefit Plans.  No event has occurred, and
                there exists no condition or set of circumstances in connection with any of the Benefit Plans as to which Vessel could, directly or indirectly, be subject to any liability under ERISA, the Code or any other applicable law, except liability
                for benefits claims and funding obligations payable in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice.

            


    

    
      	
              (h)

            	
              Except as set forth in Schedule 4.13(h) neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, either alone or in
                combination with another event (whether contingent or otherwise) will (i) entitle any current or former employee, consultant, director or other service provider of Vessel to any payment; (ii) increase the amount of compensation or benefits
                due to any such employee, former employee, consultant, director or other service provider; or (i) accelerate the funding, time of vesting or payment of any compensation, equity award or other right or benefit.

              With respect Benefit Plan that is a "welfare plan" within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA, (i) each such Benefit Plan for which contributions are claimed as deductions under any
                provision of the Code is in compliance with all applicable laws and requirements pertaining to such deduction and (ii) any such Benefit Plan that is a "group health plan" (within the meaning of the Code) complies in all material respects
                and has been operated in compliance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA ("COBRA") and the Patient Protection and Affordable
                Care Act of 2010, as amended, and the regulations and guidance thereunder.  None of the Benefits Plans provides health, accident, disability, life or other welfare benefits to any current or former employees, directors, consultants or
                retirees of Vessel (or any spouse, beneficiary or dependent of the foregoing) beyond the termination of employment or other service of such employee, director, consultant or retiree, other than health continuation coverage pursuant to
                COBRA.

            


    

    
      	
              (j)

            	
              Except as set forth on Schedule 4.13(a), the obligations of all Benefit Plans that provide health, welfare or similar insurance are fully insured by bona fide third-party
                insurers.  No Benefit Plan is (i) a voluntary employee benefit association under Section 501(a)(9) of the Code, (ii) maintained through a human resources and benefits outsourcing entity, professional employer organization, or other similar
                vendor or provider, or (iii) maintained or entered into by any Affiliate of Vessel.

            


    

    
      	
              (k)

            	
              Except as set forth in Schedule 4.13(k), all undisputed consulting, actuarial, trusteeship, accounting, investment and other fees, charges and expenses of whatever nature with
                respect to Benefit Plans for which an account or invoice has been delivered have been paid in the ordinary course of business.

            


    

    
      	
              (l)

            	
              There are no actions, audits, investigations, suits or claims pending or, to the Knowledge of Vessel Management, threatened in relation to the provision of immigration or tax assistance
                by Vessel for or on behalf of any employee.

            


    

    
      	
              (m)

            	
              Each Benefit Plan which is a "nonqualified deferred compensation" plan within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code has been operated and administered in compliance with Section 409A of
                the Code, and has been in material documentary compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  No compensation has been or would reasonably be expected to be includable in the gross income of any "service provider" (within the meaning of Section
                409A of the Code) of Vessel as a result of the operation of Section 409A of the Code.  No award (and no agreement or promise by Vessel to make an award) under any Benefit Plan that provides for the granting of equity, equity-based rights,
                equity derivatives or options to purchase equity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Vessel Options) has been backdated or has been granted with a purchase price that is less than the fair market value of such equity as of the
                applicable grant date.

              Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, either alone or in combination with another event (whether contingent
                or otherwise) will result in any "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code (or any corresponding provision of federal, state, provincial, territorial, local, or foreign Tax law).

            


    

    
      	
              (o)

            	
              There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to which Vessel is a party which requires Vessel to pay a Tax gross-up, equalization or reimbursement payment to any Person, including
                without limitation, with respect to any Tax-related payments under Section 409A of the Code or Section 280G of the Code.

                purposes and has made all appropriate filings in connection with services provided by, and compensation paid to, such service providers.  Each such independent contractor, consultant, agent or agency employee has entered into customary
                covenants regarding confidentiality, non-competition and assignment of intellectual property in such Person's agreement with Vessel.

                to employees.  Vessel is not a party to, or otherwise bound by, any consent decree with, or citation from, any Governmental Body relating to employees or employment practices.

      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF FLORA

    As an inducement to Vessel to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Flora represents and warrants to Vessel, as of the date of this Agreement and as of
      the Closing Date, as follows:

    
      	
              Section 5.1

            	
              Organization of Flora.

            


    

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              Flora is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.  Flora is duly qualified to transact business and is in
                good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not
                have a Material Adverse Effect on Flora.  Flora has all requisite power and authority to own or lease and operate its assets and to carry on its businesses.

            


    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              The authorized capital of Flora consists of an unlimited number of Flora Shares.  As September 24, 2021, there were (i) 45,428,485 Flora Shares issued and outstanding, (ii) options
                providing for the issuance of 4,458,881 Flora Shares upon the exercise thereof; (iii) warrants providing for the issuance of 6,488,000 Flora Shares upon the exercise thereof.  Other than as disclosed in the Flora Public Record, Flora has no
                other outstanding agreement, subscription, warrant, option, right or commitment or other right or privilege (whether by law, pre-emptive or contractual), nor has it granted any right or privilege capable of becoming an agreement,
                subscription, warrant, option, right or commitment, obligating it to issue or sell any Flora Shares or other securities, including any security or obligation of any kind convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Flora Shares
                or other security other than any rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Flora.  Flora Shares are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market and, except for such listing and
                trading, no securities of Flora are listed or quoted for trading on any other stock or securities exchange or market or registered under any securities laws.

                bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

    The Flora Financial Statements have been, and all financial statements of Flora which are publicly disseminated by Flora in respect of any subsequent periods prior to the Effective Date will be,
      prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as 

    
      37

      
        


    

    

    

    issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto and subject, in the case of the Flora
      Unaudited Financial Statements, to normal and recurring year-end adjustments that, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Flora) applied on a basis consistent with those of previous periods and in accordance with
      applicable Laws in all material respects.  Flora Financial Statements, together with the related management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in the case of the Flora Audited Financial Statements, present
      fairly, in all material respects,  the consolidated financial condition of Flora and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of operations changes in shareholders' equity and cash
      flows of Flora for the periods covered thereby.  Flora does not intend to correct or restate, nor, to the knowledge of Flora is there any basis for any correction or restatement of, any aspect of any of Flora Financial Statements (other than any
      corrections or restatement required as a result of changes in IFRS that have retroactive application).

      filed by Flora with the SEC (the "SEC Documents") complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder. None of the
      SEC Documents as of their respective dates contained any untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which

      Documents.  Flora Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. Flora is in compliance with all applicable listing and corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Global Market and has
      taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of Flora Shares under the Securities Act or delisting the Shares from the Nasdaq Global Market, nor has Flora received any notification that the SEC or the
      Nasdaq Global Market is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.  Flora is not registered and is not required to be registered as an "investment company" under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940.

    Without limiting and subject to Vessel's representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, (x) Flora acknowledges and agrees that it has conducted its own
      independent review and analysis of, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the business, assets, condition, operations and prospects of Vessel, and to Flora's knowledge, it has been furnished with or given full access to
      such information about Vessel and its business and operations as Flora has requested, and (y) in entering into this Agreement, Flora has relied solely upon its own investigation and analysis and the representations, warranties, covenants and
      agreements of Vessel set forth in this Agreement.

     

      ARTICLE 6
      

      

      ACTION PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE

    The respective parties hereto covenant and agree to take the following actions between the date hereof and the Closing Date:

    
      	
              Section 6.1

            	
              Access to Information.

            


    

    Vessel shall afford to the officers, employees and authorized representatives of Flora (including independent public accountants and attorneys) reasonable access during normal business hours, upon
      reasonable advance notice, to the offices, properties, employees and business and financial records of Vessel to the extent Flora shall reasonably deem necessary or desirable and shall furnish to Flora or its authorized representatives such
      additional information concerning Vessel as shall be reasonably requested; provided, however, that Vessel shall not be required to violate any obligation of confidentiality to which Vessel is subject or to waive any privilege which it may possess in
      discharging its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.1.

    
      	
              Section 6.2

            	
              Notification.

            


    

    From the date hereof until the Closing, Vessel shall disclose to Flora in writing any material variances from its representations and 

    

    
      39

      
        


    

    

    

    warranties contained in Article 4 and promptly upon discovery thereof; such disclosures, solely to the extent made in order to disclose matters that first occurred after the date of this Agreement
      (other than as a result of a breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement (including Section 6.4) by Vessel) ("New Facts"), if delivered to Flora at least ten (10) Business Days prior to
      the Closing Date, shall amend and supplement the Disclosure Schedules in the form of "Updated Schedules" delivered to Flora.  The disclosure of New Facts by Vessel pursuant to this Section 6.2, solely
      to the extent Updated Schedules with respect to such New Facts have been delivered to Flora at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, shall be deemed to modify each and every one of the representations and warranties of Vessel under
      this Agreement as of the Closing Date and in no event will Vessel have any liability to Flora based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any New Fact pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that if the New Fact that
      is included in the Updated Schedules causes any of the representations or warranties of Vessel made hereunder not to be true and correct (disregarding the effect of the Updated Schedules), Flora shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
      (exercisable at any time by providing written notice to Vessel to that effect, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 10).

    
      	
              Section 6.3

              (a)

            	
              Vessel and Flora will act diligently and reasonably in attempting to secure, before the Closing Date, the consent, approval or waiver, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
                other party, required to be obtained from any party (other than a Governmental Body) to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as set forth on Schedule 6.3(a); provided, however, that such action shall not
                include any requirement of Flora, Vessel or any of their respective Affiliates to expend money, commence or participate in any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party.  Without limiting the
                foregoing and subject to the proviso in the preceding sentence, (i) with respect to any Leased Real Property that pursuant to the terms of its lease a notice to (but not the consent or approval of) the landlord is required in connection
                with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Vessel shall give such notice (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Flora) prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) with respect to any Leased Real Property
                that pursuant to the terms of its lease the consent or approval of the landlord is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Vessel shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such consent
                or approval (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Flora) prior to the Closing Date, provided that neither Vessel, nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to expend money, commence or participate in any litigation or offer or
                grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to obtain such consents.

            


    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Vessel and Flora agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to
                do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

              The Sellers' Representative shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared and timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Income Tax Returns
                required to be filed by or with respect to Vessel with respect to Pre-Closing Periods that are due after the Closing Date and the Sellers' Representative, on behalf of the Vessel Shareholders, shall timely remit, or cause to be remitted,
                any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns.  Flora shall timely prepare and file or cause to be timely prepared and filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed

                such Tax Returns shall be filed in a manner consistent with past practice and no position shall be taken, election made or method adopted that is inconsistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in prior periods in filing

                periods for which Flora is liable or (B) deferring income to periods for which Flora is liable or accelerating deductions to periods for which the Vessel Shareholders are liable), except as required by Law or pursuant to the terms of this
                Agreement.  Income Tax Returns or other annual Tax Returns prepared by Flora or the Sellers' Representative pursuant to this Section 7.1(a)(i) shall be submitted to the Sellers' Representative (in the case of Flora prepared Tax Returns) and
                to Flora (in the case of the Sellers' Representative prepared Tax Returns) not later than twenty (20) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such Tax Returns (or, if such due date is within thirty (30) days following
                the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date) for review and approval by the other party prior to the due date, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The approval shall be
                deemed to have been granted if it is not explicitly withheld within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the draft Tax Return.  The Sellers' Representative, on behalf of the Vessel Shareholders, shall pay to Flora Taxes which are payable with
                any Tax Return to be filed by Flora pursuant to this Section 7.1(a) upon the written request of Flora, setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of the amount owed by the Vessel Shareholders, as the case may be, but in no event
                later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for paying such Taxes.

                a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of property, ad valorem and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator
                of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending as of the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income, gains, receipts,
                gross margins, employment, sales, use, or other Taxes imposed on a non-periodic basis reasonably allocable using a closing-of-the-books approach, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended as of the
                Closing Date pursuant to an interim closing-of-the-books.  Any credits relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date.  All determinations necessary to give effect to
                the allocations described in this Section 7.1(a)(ii) shall be made in a manner consistent with the prior practice, except for changes required by Law or fact.

                Vessel Shareholders when due. The Sellers' Representative will, at the Vessel Shareholders' expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and if required by applicable law, Flora
                will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.  Flora and the Sellers' Representative agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate, including a resale
                certificate, or other document from any Governmental Body as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

                hereof.  Each of the Sellers further acknowledges and agrees that, upon execution of this Agreement, with respect to any delivery by the Sellers' Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other documents
                executed by the Sellers' Representative pursuant to this Section 7.3, such Seller shall be bound by such documents as fully as if such Seller had executed and delivered such documents.

              Termination.

            


    

    Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              by the mutual consent of Flora and Vessel;

            


    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              by Flora in the event of any breach by Vessel of any of its covenants, agreements, representations or warranties contained herein which has resulted in (i) a Material Adverse Effect of
                Vessel, (ii) a material adverse effect on the ability of Vessel to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, or (iii) any of the closing conditions set forth in Article 8 other than Section 8.2 not reasonably capable of being
                satisfied prior to the End Date; provided, however, that, subject to Section 10.1(d), if such breach is curable by Vessel through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts and for so long as Vessel continues to exercise such
                commercially reasonable efforts, Flora may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b);

            


    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              by Vessel in the event of any breach by Flora of any of Flora's covenants, agreements, representations or warranties contained herein which has resulted in (i) a material adverse effect
                on Flora's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) any of the closing conditions set forth in Article 9 not reasonably capable of being satisfied prior to the End Date; provided, however, that,

                (or such later date as may be mutually agreed in writing by Flora and the Vessel); provided, however, that no termination may be made under this Section 10.1(d) if the failure to close on or prior to such date shall be caused by the action
                or inaction of the terminating party (and in the case of Vessel, including for this purpose any of the Sellers); provided, further, that if, on the End Date, all of the conditions set forth in Article 8 and Article 9
                have been satisfied and fulfilled or, if permissible pursuant to the terms hereof, waived, other than the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 and Section 9.4 hereto (and other than those conditions to be satisfied simultaneously at
                Closing), then the End Date shall automatically be extended until December 31, 2021; or

              Section 10.2

            	
              Notice of Termination.

            


    

    Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other party to this Agreement.

    
      	
              Section 10.3

            	
              Effect of Termination.

            


    

    If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to this Article 10, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be terminated without further liability of any party to the
      other (other than the provisions of Sections 10.3, 11.2, 11.3, 11.8 and 11.12, which sections shall survive any termination of this Agreement); provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for its
      willful breach of this Agreement.

    
      	
              Section 10.4

            	
              Flora Damages.

            


    

    If at any time after the execution of this Agreement, Flora terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(iii) (the "Flora Damages Event"), Vessel
      shall pay to Flora $1.0 million (the "Flora Damages Fee"), as liquidated damages in immediately available funds to an account designated by Flora within two (2) Business Days of such termination.  Following a
      Flora Damages Event, but prior to payment of the Flora Damages Fee as required, Vessel shall be deemed to hold such funds in trust for Flora.  Vessel shall only be obligated to pay the Flora Damages Fee once pursuant to this Section 10.4.

    
      	
              Section 10.5

            	
              Vessel Damages.

            


    

    If at any time after the execution of this Agreement, Vessel terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(c)(ii) (the "Vessel Damages Event"), Flora
      shall pay to Vessel $1.0 million (the "Vessel Damages Fee"), as liquidated damages in immediately available funds to an account designated by Vessel within two (2) Business Days of such termination.  Following
      a Vessel Damages Event, but prior to payment of the Vessel Damages Fee as required, Flora shall be deemed to hold such funds in trust for Vessel.  Flora shall only be obligated to pay the Vessel Damages Fee once pursuant to this Section 10.5.

              Injunctive Relief and Remedies.

            


    

    Each party agrees that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by
      the other Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that each party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach by another party of the covenants
      or agreements set forth in this Agreement or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any of such act, covenants or agreements, without the necessity of posting bond or security in connection therewith, this being in addition to any other remedy
      to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity.  Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in Section 10.4 and Section 10.5 are an integral part of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these
      agreements the Parties would not enter into this Agreement; and further that the payment of the Flora Damages Fee and in the circumstances set forth in Section 10.4 and the payment of the Vessel Damages Fee in the circumstances set forth in
      Section 10.5 is a payment of liquidated damages which is a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which Flora or Vessel, as applicable, shall suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and resultant termination of this
      Agreement and is not a penalty.  Vessel and Flora, as applicable, irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defense that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
      limitations set forth in this Article 10 shall not apply in the event of willful breach of this Agreement by another party.

    The representations and warranties contained herein shall terminate on, and may not be relied upon, by either party after the Closing.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
      limitations set forth in this Section 11.1 shall not apply with respect to claims of willful breach, fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

              No Public Announcement.

            


    

    Neither Flora nor Vessel shall, or shall cause their Affiliate or representatives to, without the approval of the other, make any press release or other public announcement concerning the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that any such party shall be so obligated by Requirements of Law, in which case the other party shall be advised and the parties shall, to the extent practicable, use their
      commercially reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude communications or disclosures necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement or to
      comply with any Requirements of Law, including disclosure obligations pursuant to the rules of any stock exchange.

      extent so explicitly provided), and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or
      included in any Schedule is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.  Pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.2, Vessel may, from time to time prior to or at the Closing, deliver Updated Schedules to Flora. 
      No such Updated Schedule shall be evidence, in and of itself, that the representations and warranties in the corresponding section are no longer true and correct in all material respects.  Solely to the extent expressly provided in Section 6.2,
      (i) such Updated Schedules shall be effective to cure and correct any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant which would have existed if Vessel had not delivered such Updated Schedules, and (ii) all references to any Disclosure Schedule
      which is supplemented or amended as provided in Section 6.2 shall for all purposes be deemed to be a reference to such Disclosure Schedule as so supplemented or amended by such Updated Schedule.

              Waivers.

            


    

    Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof.  Any such waiver shall be validly
      and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party.  The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement
      shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.  No waiver of any breach of this
      Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

              Expenses.

            


    

    Except as expressly set forth herein, each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all
      agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and independent public accountants, regardless of whether the transactions provided for in this
      Agreement are consummated.

              Partial Invalidity.

            


    

    Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall,
      for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such
      invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

              Execution in Counterparts.

            


    

    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding
      when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the Sellers' Representative, Vessel and Flora.

              Further Assurances.

            


    

    Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.3 and subject thereto, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts
      to take or cause to be taken all action, to do or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations or otherwise to consummate and make
      effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the obligations of any of the parties hereto; (ii) the defending of any lawsuits or
      other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the performance of the obligations hereunder; and (iii) the execution and delivery of such instruments, and the taking of such other actions as the other party
      hereto may reasonably require in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

    
      	
              Section 11.12

            	
              Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

            


    

    All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the schedules and exhibits hereto shall be governed by, and construed in
      accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (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.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all schedules and exhibits hereto), even though under
      that jurisdiction's choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.  Each of the parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of
      Delaware, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising
      out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court.  Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of
      any other party with respect thereto.  Each party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party
      to be served at the address of the party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 11.3.  Nothing in this Section 11.12, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

    Each party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
      law.  EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

    
      	
              Section 11.13

            	
              Specific Performance.

            


    

    Vessel and Flora acknowledge that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by
      any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law.  Accordingly, the parties agree that such non-breaching party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in
      their favor at law or in equity, to enforce their rights and the other party's obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief
      (without posting of bond or other security).
