For
purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act on the part of
the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it
is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive with malicious
intent against the furtherance of Company business or operations.
Any act, or failure to act, based upon 1) authority given pursuant

Cause unless and until the Company delivers to the Executive a copy
of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less

provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an
opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board),

assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and
to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if

by operation of law;





 




5.

a material, adverse
change in the Executive’s title, authority, duties, or
responsibilities (other than temporarily while the Executive is

Company has had at least 14 days from the date on which such notice
is provided to cure such circumstances. If the Executive does not
terminate his employment for Good Reason within 14 days after the
first occurrence of the applicable grounds, then the Executive will
be deemed to have waived his right to terminate for Good Reason
with respect to such grounds.

Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement:

 




i.

The Executive will
not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state
trade secret law for any disclosure of a trade secret
that:

The
Executive understands and acknowledges that his obligations under
this Agreement with regard to any particular Confidential
Information shall commence immediately upon the Executive first
having access to such Confidential Information (whether before or
after he begins employment by the Company) and shall continue
during and after his employment by the Company until such time as
such Confidential Information has become public knowledge other
than as a result of the Executive’s breach of this Agreement
or breach by those acting in concert with the Executive or on the
Executive’s behalf.

 

8. Restrictive
Covenants.

 


a. Non-Competition.

 


Because
of the Company’s legitimate business interest as described
herein and the good and valuable consideration offered to the
Executive, during the Employment Term and for the twelve months, to
run consecutively, beginning on the last day of the
Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive agrees
and covenants not to engage in Prohibited Activity within a 50 mile
radius of Las Vegas.

 


For
purposes of this Section 8, “Prohibited Activity” is
activity in which the Executive contributes his knowledge, directly
or indirectly, in whole or in part, as an employee, employer,
owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, agent, employee,
partner, director, stockholder, officer, volunteer, intern, or any
other similar capacity to an entity engaged in the same or similar
business as the Company , including those engaged in the business
of licensed cannabis cultivation, production, or dispensary
operations. Prohibited Activity also includes activity that may
require or inevitably requires disclosure of trade secrets,
proprietary information or Confidential Information.

 


This
Section 8 does not, in any way, restrict or impede the Executive
from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights
cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable
law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent
jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such
compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or
order. The Executive shall promptly provide written notice of any
such order to Company.

 


b. Non-Solicitation
of Employees.

 


The
Executive agrees and covenants not to directly or indirectly
solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit, or induce the
termination of employment of any employee of the Company for 12
months, to run consecutively, beginning on the last day of the
Executive’s employment with the Company.

 


c. Non-Solicitation
of Customers and Vendors.

 


The
Executive understands and acknowledges that because of the
Executive’s experience with and relationship to the Company,
he will have access to and learn about much or all of the
Company’s customer and vendor information (or,
“Competitive Information”). Competitive includes, but
is not limited to, names, phone numbers, addresses, e-mail
addresses, order history, order preferences, chain of command,
pricing information, and other information identifying facts and
circumstances specific to the vendor or the customer and relevant
to sales.

 


The
Executive understands and acknowledges that loss of this customer
or vendor relationship and/or goodwill will cause significant and
irreparable harm.

 


The
Executive agrees and covenants, during 12 months, to run
consecutively, beginning on the last day of the Executive’s
employment with the Company, not to directly or indirectly solicit,
contact (including but not limited to e-mail, regular mail, express
mail, telephone, fax, and instant message), attempt to contact, or
meet with the Company’s current, former or prospective
vendors or customers for purposes of offering or accepting goods or
services similar to or competitive with those offered by the
Company.

 



 

12







 





 

 


This
restriction shall only apply to:

 




i.

Vendors, customers
or prospective customers the Executive contacted in any way during
the past 12 months;





 




ii.

Vendors or
customers about whom the Executive has trade secret or confidential
information;





 




iii.

Vendors or
customers who became vendors or customers during the
Executive’s employment with the Company; and





 




iv.

Vendors or
customers about whom the Executive has information that is not
available publicly.





 






 

13







 





 

 


9. Non-Disparagement.

 


The
Executive agrees and covenants that he will not at any time make,
publish or communicate to any person or entity or in any public
forum any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments, or
statements concerning the Company or its businesses, or any of its
employees, officers, and existing and prospective customers,
suppliers, investors and other associated third
parties.

 


This
Section 9 does not, in any way, restrict or impede the Executive
from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights
cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable
law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent
jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such
compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or
order. The Executive shall promptly provide written notice of any
such order to the Chief Executive Officer.

 


The
Company agrees and covenants that it shall cause its officers and
directors to refrain from making any defamatory or disparaging
remarks, comments, or statements concerning the Executive to any
third parties.

 


10. Acknowledgement.

 


The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the services to be rendered
by him to the Company are of a special and unique character; that
the Executive will obtain knowledge and skill relevant to the
Company’s industry, methods of doing business and marketing
strategies by virtue of the Executive’s employment; and that
the restrictive covenants and other terms and conditions of this
Agreement are reasonable and reasonably necessary to protect the
legitimate business interest of the Company.

 


The
Executive further acknowledges that the amount of his compensation
reflects, in part, his obligations and the Company’s rights
under Section 7, Section 8, and Section 9 of this Agreement; that
he has no expectation of any additional compensation, royalties or
other payment of any kind not otherwise referenced herein in
connection herewith; and that he will not be subject to undue
hardship by reason of his full compliance with the terms and
conditions of Section 7, Section 8, and Section 9 of this Agreement
or the Company’s enforcement thereof.

 


11. Remedies.

 


In the
event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of Section
7, 8, or Section 9 of this Agreement, the Executive hereby consents
and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to seek, in addition
to other available remedies, a temporary or permanent injunction or
other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach
from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of
showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford
an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond
or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall be in
addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages, or
other available forms of relief.

 

 



 

14







 





 

12. Proprietary
Rights.

 


a. Work
Product.

 


The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that all right, title, and
interest in and to all writings, works of authorship, technology,
inventions, discoveries, processes, techniques, methods, ideas,
concepts, research, proposals, materials, and all other work
product of any nature whatsoever, that are created, prepared,
produced, authored, edited, amended, conceived, or reduced to
practice by the Executive individually or jointly with others
during the period of his employment by the Company and relate in
any way to the business or contemplated business, products,
activities, research, or development of the Company or
result from any work performed by the Executive for the Company (in
each case, regardless of when or where prepared or whose equipment
or other resources is used in preparing the same), all rights and
claims related to the foregoing, and all printed, physical and
electronic copies, and other tangible embodiments thereof
(collectively, “Work Product”), as well as any and all
rights in and to US and foreign (a) patents, patent disclosures and
inventions (whether patentable or not), (b) trademarks, service
marks, trade dress, trade names, logos, corporate names, and domain
names, and other similar designations of source or origin, together
with the goodwill symbolized by any of the foregoing, (c)
copyrights and copyrightable works (including computer programs),
[mask works,] and rights in data and databases, (d) trade secrets,
know-how, and other confidential information, and (e) all other
intellectual property rights, in each case whether registered or
unregistered and including all registrations and applications for,
and renewals and extensions of, such rights, all improvements
thereto and all similar or equivalent rights or forms of protection
in any part of the world (collectively, “Intellectual
Property Rights”), shall be the sole and exclusive property
of the Company.

 


For
purposes of this Agreement, Work Product includes, but is not
limited to, Company information, including plans, publications,
research, strategies, documents, contracts, customer lists,
manufacturing information, marketing information, advertising
information, and sales information.

 


b. Work
Made for Hire; Assignment.

 


The
Executive acknowledges that, by reason of being employed by the
Company at the relevant times, to the extent permitted by law, all
of the Work Product consisting of copyrightable subject matter is
“work made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101
and such copyrights are therefore owned by the Company. To the
extent that the foregoing does not apply, the Executive hereby
irrevocably assigns to the Company, for no additional
consideration, the Executive’s entire right, title, and
interest in and to all Work Product and Intellectual Property
Rights therein, including the right to sue, counterclaim, and
recover for all past, present, and future infringement,
misappropriation, or dilution thereof, and all rights corresponding
thereto throughout the world. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed to reduce or limit the Company’s rights,
title, or interest in any Work Product or Intellectual Property
Rights so as to be less in any respect than that the Company would
have had in the absence of this Agreement.

 


c. Further
Assurances; Power of Attorney.

 


During
and after his employment, the Executive agrees to reasonably
cooperate with the Company to (a) apply for, obtain, perfect, and
transfer to the Company the Work Product as well as any and all
Intellectual Property Rights in the Work Product in any
jurisdiction in the world; and (b) maintain, protect and enforce
the same, including, without limitation, giving testimony and
executing and delivering to the Company any and all applications,
oaths, declarations, affidavits, waivers, assignments, and other
documents and instruments as shall be requested by the Company. The
Executive hereby irrevocably grants the Company power of attorney
to execute and deliver any such documents on the Executive’s
behalf in his name and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to
transfer the Work Product to the Company and further the transfer,
prosecution, issuance, and maintenance of all Intellectual Property
Rights therein, to the full extent permitted by law, if the
Executive does not promptly cooperate with the Company’s
request (without limiting the rights the Company shall have in such
circumstances by operation of law). The power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and shall not be affected by the
Executive’s subsequent incapacity.

 



 

15







 





 


d. No
License.

 


The
Executive understands that this Agreement does not, and shall not
be construed to, grant the Executive any license or right of any
nature with respect to any Work Product or Intellectual Property
Rights or any Confidential Information, materials, software, or
other tools made available to him by the Company.

 

13. Security.

security policies and procedures as in force from time to time and
any and all other Company IT resources (“Facilities and

any Facilities and Information Technology Resources except as
authorized by the Company; and (iii) not to access or use any
Facilities and Information Technology Resources in any manner after
the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company,
whether termination is voluntary or involuntary. The Executive
agrees to notify the Company promptly in the event he learns of any
violation of the foregoing by others, or of any other
misappropriation or unauthorized access, use, reproduction, or
reverse engineering of, or tampering with any Facilities and
Information Technology Resources or other Company property or
materials by others.

 


b. Exit
Obligations.

 


Upon
(a) voluntary or involuntary termination of the Executive’s
employment or (b) the Company’s request at any time during
the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall (i) provide
or return to the Company any and all Company property and all
Company documents and materials belonging to the Company and stored
in any fashion, including but not limited to those that constitute
or contain any Confidential Information or Work Product, that are
in the possession or control of the Executive, whether they were
provided to the Executive by the Company or any of its business
associates or created by the Executive in connection with his
employment by the Company; and (ii) delete or destroy all copies of
any such documents and materials not returned to the Company that
remain in the Executive’s possession or control, including
those stored on any non-Company devices, networks, storage
locations, and media in the Executive’s possession or

18. Severability.

 


Should
any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent

of this Agreement shall be held as unenforceable and thus stricken,
such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this
Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon

treated as though originally set forth in this

Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any
respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provisions hereof, and if such provision or
provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement shall
be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
provisions had not been set forth herein.

a. General
Compliance.

 


This
Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A or an exemption
thereunder and shall be construed and administered in accordance
with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made
upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an
applicable exemption. Any payments under this Agreement that may be
excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an
involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral
shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible.
For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided
under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. Any
payments to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of

service” under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits
provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A, and in no
event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any
taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred
by the Executive on account of non-compliance with Section
409A.

 


b. Specified
Employees.

 


Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, if any payment or benefit

employment is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the
Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” as
defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i), then such payment or benefit
shall not be paid until the first payroll date to occur following
the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date or, if earlier,
on the Executive’s death (the “Specified Employee
Payment Date”). The aggregate of any payments that would
otherwise have been paid before the Specified Employee Payment Date
[and interest on such amounts calculated based on the applicable
federal rate published by the Internal Revenue Service for the
month in which the Executive’s separation from service
occurs] shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the
Specified Employee Payment Date and thereafter, any remaining
payments shall be paid without delay in accordance with their
original schedule.

 


c. Reimbursements.

 


To the
extent required by Section 409A, each reimbursement or in-kind
benefit provided under this Agreement shall be provided in
accordance with the following:

 




i.

the amount of
expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided,
during each calendar year cannot affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other
calendar year;





 




ii.

any reimbursement
of an eligible expense shall be paid to the Executive on or before
the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which the expense was incurred; and





 




iii.

any right to
reimbursements or in-kind benefits under this Agreement shall not
be subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit.





 



 

19







 





 

 


d. Tax
Gross-ups.

 


Any tax
gross-up payments provided under this Agreement shall be paid to
the Executive on or before December 31 of the calendar year
immediately following the calendar year in which the Executive
remits the related taxes.

 


23. Notification
to Subsequent Employer.

 


When
the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, the
Executive agrees to notify any subsequent employer of the
restrictive covenants sections contained in this Agreement. The
Executive will also deliver a copy of such notice to the Company
before the Executive commences employment with any subsequent
employer. In addition, the Executive authorizes the Company to
provide a copy of the restrictive covenants sections of this
Agreement to third parties, including but not limited to, the
Executive’s subsequent, anticipated, or possible future
employer.

 


24. Successors
and Assigns.

 


This
Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assigned by
the Executive. Any purported assignment by the Executive shall be
null and void from the initial date of the purported assignment.
The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor or assign
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of
the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
Company and permitted successors and assigns.
