or gifts from a Company competitor, customer, vendor or business associate, or taking advantage of for personal gain a corporate
business opportunity without Company’s express knowledge and consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may (A)
serve on corporate, civic, educational, philanthropic or charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking
engagements or teach at educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not interfere
with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities hereunder. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent
that any such activities have been conducted by Executive prior to the Effective Date and fully disclosed to Company in writing,
the continued conduct of such activities subsequent to the Effective Date shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the
performance of the Executive’s responsibilities to Company. During the Term, Executive shall work from an office located
in Los Angeles, California.

 

    	 

     

    

 

(c)
Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date, and the Parties acknowledge that Executive has

(2)
Without Cause; Non-Renewal. Company may also terminate Executive’s employment without Cause at any time upon not
less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Executive. Upon Executive’s termination in accordance with the
preceding sentence or in the event Company does not renew the term of this Agreement upon its expiration of its original term
or any renewals thereof, and if Executive is not working or offered the opportunity to work, in the same position, and with substantially
the same duties, authority and responsibilities for, any Company subsidiary or affiliate that operates a substantially similar
business as Company and that has agreed in writing to assume the obligations under this Agreement, Company shall (A) pay to Executive,
after the execution of a release in a commercially reasonable form provided by Company (which release includes, but is not limited
to, a full release of Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of Company, and each of their respective past, present and future employees,

Award shall immediately vest and/or the payment of some or all of any unpaid Special Bonus shall accelerate upon a termination
under this Paragraph 7(a)(2).

days’ written notice from the Executive to Company describing in detail the Good Reason, if not cured within such 15-day
period; provided, however, that such notice shall be given no later than ninety (90) days after the time that the Executive has

no further force or effect.

 

(c)
Termination by Death or Disability. Executive’s employment with Company shall terminate upon Executive’s death
or Disability. In the event of such termination, Company’s sole obligations hereunder to the Executive (or the Executive’s

Company cannot agree shall be determined by a qualified, independent physician selected by Company and approved by the Executive

of any such physician shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.

Company is or may become a party and as to which the Executive has actual knowledge; provided, however, that (i) Company agrees

assets of Company, provided that such successor shall expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner
and to the same extent that Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

Section
1542 Notice to California Employees Only

 

The
parties expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits afforded by §1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California,
and do so understanding and acknowledging the significance of such specific waiver of §1542. Section 1542 of the Civil Code
of the State of California states as follows:

 

A
general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her
favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement
with the debtor or released party. 

 

Notwithstanding
the provision of §1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release, the parties expressly acknowledge
that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims which the parties do not know or suspect
to exist in Your/the Company’s favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishments
of any such claim or claims.

 

3.       Confidentiality
of Agreement: Except as permitted under the Protected Rights Section below, You will not disclose the existence or terms
of this Agreement or the negotiations leading up to this Agreement, except to Your immediate family members, financial and legal
advisors, or as may be required by law or as necessary to enforce this Agreement. Should You disclose information about this Agreement
to your immediate family members or financial and legal advisors, You shall advise such persons that they must maintain the strict
confidentiality of such information and must not disclose it unless required by law.

 

    	 

     

    

 

4.       Mutual
Non-Disparagement: Except as permitted under the Protected Rights Section below, You will not make any oral or
written statements that are in any way negative, disparaging, or detrimental towards the Released Parties, or any of their
respective products, services, representatives, employees or agents, including, but not limited to, statements made on social
media. Similarly, the Company agrees that Joe Sai and the Company’s current officers, including but not limited to
Steve White and Jason Vedadi, will not make any oral or written statements to third parties that are in any way negative,
disparaging, or detrimental towards You, including, but not limited to, statements made on social media.

 

5.       Continuing
Cooperation; Duty to Notify: You will reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with all business and legal
matters with which You were involved or became aware during Your employment with the Company, or any of its affiliated entities,
provided that such assistance does not unreasonably interfere with Your then current employment and does not require You to breach
any attorney-client or other legally recognized privilege in providing such assistance. This obligation to cooperate includes
spending adequate time with the Company’s legal counsel to review your knowledge related to such matter or proceeding as
counsel may deem necessary, including but not limited to the review of documents, the discussion of the case and preparation for
interviews, depositions or trial. The Company agrees to pay You an hourly rate of $500 for any such assistance and cooperation,
and will reimburse You for any pre-approved out of pocket expenses related to such assistance, including travel expenses. Further,
in the event You become legally compelled to disclose information about the Company or Your employment with the Company (under
the terms of a valid and effective subpoena or order issued by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, or by a demand
or information request from an executive or administrative agency or other governmental authority), You shall, unless prohibited
by law, promptly notify the Company of such required disclosure so as to permit the Company a reasonable opportunity to seek a
protective order or other similar remedy. In addition, You shall make such disclosure only to the extent so required. This obligation
to cooperate and disclose is not intended to and shall not be construed so as to in any way limit or affect the testimony which
You may give in any such legal proceeding. It is understood and agreed that You will at all times testify truthfully, whether
in deposition, trial or otherwise.

 

6.       Company
Representations: The Company represents, agrees and acknowledges that it will take reasonable steps to promptly remove
any and all reference to You including, but not limited to, Your name, image, likeness, appearance and biographical
information, from the Company’s website and any other social media or internet sites hosted by the Company following
the date of Your execution of this Agreement, with the exception of any disclosure noting Your employment status. The Company
further represents that Your name is not listed on any active cannabis or business related licenses on file with any
government agency or regulatory authority, nor on any investment related documents or presentations currently used or
maintained by or for the Company’s benefit, and shall take all appropriate action to amend and remove Your name from
any pending application documents filed with or submitted to any financial institution, government agency or regulatory
