TECHNOLOGIES LLC

Restrictive covenantS AGREEMENT

 

THIS RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS AGREEMENT (this
 “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of ___________________, by and between PureCycle Technologies LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and ______________ (“Employee”). Certain
words or phrases used herein with initial capital letters shall have the meanings set forth in paragraph 2 hereof.

 

In consideration of the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

 

1.            Competitive
Activity; Non-Solicitation; Confidentiality.

 

(a)           Acknowledgements
and Agreements. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the performance of Employee’s duties to the Company,
Employee shall be brought into frequent contact with existing and potential customers of the Company throughout the world. Employee
also agrees that trade secrets and confidential information of the Company, more fully described in subparagraph 1(e)(i),
gained by Employee during Employee’s association with the Company, have been developed by the Company through substantial
expenditures of time, effort and money and constitute valuable and unique property of the Company. Employee further understands
and agrees that the foregoing makes it necessary for the protection of the Company’s business that Employee not compete with
the Company during Employee’s employment with the Company and not compete with the Company for a reasonable period thereafter,
as further provided in the following subparagraphs.

 

(b)           Covenants.

 

(i)           Covenants
During Employment. While employed by the Company, Employee shall not compete with the Company anywhere in the world. In accordance
with this restriction, but without limiting its terms, while employed by the Company, Employee shall not:

 

		(A)	enter into or engage in any business which competes with the Company’s business;

 

		(B)	solicit customers, business, patronage or orders for, or sell, any products or services in competition with, or for any business
that competes with, the Company’s business;

 

		(C)	divert, entice or otherwise take away any customers, business, patronage or orders of the Company or attempt to do so; or

 

     

     

    

 

		(D)	promote or assist, financially or otherwise, any person, firm, association, partnership, corporation or other entity engaged
in any business which competes with the Company’s business.

 

(ii)          Covenants
Following Termination. For a period of one (1) year following the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason,
Employee shall not:

 

		(A)	enter into or engage in any business which competes with the Company’s Business within the Restricted Territory;

 

		(B)	solicit customers, business, patronage or orders for, or sell, any products and services in competition with, or for any business,
wherever located, that competes with, the Company’s Business within the Restricted Territory;

 

		(C)	divert, entice or otherwise take away any customers, business, patronage or orders of the Company within the Restricted Territory,
or attempt to do so; or

 

		(D)	promote or assist, financially or otherwise, any person, firm, association, partnership, corporation or other entity engaged
in any business which competes with the Company’s Business within the Restricted Territory.

 

(iii)         Indirect
Competition. For the purposes of subparagraphs 1(b)(i) and (ii) inclusive, but without limitation thereof, Employee
shall be in violation thereof if Employee engages in any or all of the activities set forth therein directly as an individual on
Employee’s own account, or indirectly as a partner, joint venturer, employee, agent, salesperson, consultant, officer and/or
director of any firm, association, partnership, corporation or other entity, or as a stockholder of any corporation in which Employee
or Employee’s spouse, child or parent owns, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, more than five percent
(5%) of the outstanding stock.

 

(iv)         If
it shall be judicially determined that Employee has violated this subparagraph 1(b), then the period applicable to each obligation
that Employee shall have been determined to have violated shall automatically be extended by a period of time equal in length to
the period during which such violation(s) occurred.

 

(c)           The
Company. For purposes of this paragraph 1 and paragraph 2, the Company shall include any and all direct and indirect subsidiary,
parent, affiliated or related companies of the Company for which Employee worked or had responsibility at the time of termination
of Employee’s employment and at any time during the two (2) year period prior to such termination.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

(d)           Non-Solicitation.
Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time, during the period of Employee’s employment or for one (1) year
thereafter, attempt to disrupt, damage, impair or interfere with the Company’s business by raiding any of the Company’s
employees or soliciting any of them to resign from their employment with the Company, or by disrupting the relationship between
the Company and any of its consultants, agents or representatives. Employee acknowledges that this covenant is necessary to enable
the Company to maintain a stable workforce and remain in business.

 

(e)           Further
Covenants.

 

(i)           Employee
shall keep in strict confidence, and shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time, during or after Employee’s employment
with the Company, disclose, furnish, disseminate, make available or, except in the course of performing Employee’s duties
of employment, use any trade secrets or confidential business and technical information of the Company or its customers or vendors,
without limitation as to when or how Employee may have acquired such information. With respect to materials that are trade secrets,
the protection shall last for so long as the materials remain trade secrets as defined by law. For the remainder of the confidential
information, the protection shall last for 20 years post-termination. Such confidential information shall include, without limitation,
the Company’s unique selling, manufacturing and servicing methods and business techniques, training, service and business
manuals, promotional materials, training courses and other training and instructional materials, vendor and product information,
customer and prospective customer lists, other customer and prospective customer information and other business information. Employee
specifically acknowledges that all such confidential information, whether reduced to writing, maintained on any form of electronic
media or maintained in the mind or memory of Employee, and whether compiled by the Company and/or Employee, derives independent
economic value from not being readily known to or ascertainable by proper means by others who can obtain economic value from its
disclosure or use, that reasonable efforts have been made by the Company to maintain the secrecy of such information, that such
information is the sole property of the Company and that any retention and use of such information by Employee during Employee’s
employment with the Company (except in the course of performing Employee’s duties and obligations to the Company) or after
the termination of Employee’s employment shall constitute a misappropriation of the Company’s trade secrets.

 

(ii)          The
U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”) provides that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly
liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made in confidence to
a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of
reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit
or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, the DTSA provides that an individual who files a lawsuit for
retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual
and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret
under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

(iii)         Employee
agrees that upon termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason, Employee shall return to the Company,
in good condition, all property of the Company, including, without limitation, the originals and all copies of any materials which
contain, reflect, summarize, describe, analyze or refer or relate to any items of information listed in subparagraph 1(e)(i) of
this Agreement. In the event that such items are not so returned, the Company shall have the right to charge Employee for all reasonable
damages, costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in searching for, taking, removing and/or recovering such property.

 

(f)           Discoveries
and Inventions; Work Made for Hire.

 

(i)           Employee
agrees that upon conception and/or development of any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material
or design that: (A) relates to the business of the Company, or (B) relates to the Company’s actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development, or (C) results from any work performed by Employee for the Company, Employee does hereby
assign to the Company the entire right, title and interest in and to any such idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software,
writing or other material or design. Employee has no obligation to assign any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software,
writing or other material or design that Employee conceives and/or develops entirely on Employee’s own time without using
the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information unless the idea, discovery, invention, improvement,
software, writing or other material or design: (x) relates to the business of the Company, or (y) relates to the Company’s
actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (z) results from any work performed by Employee for the Company.
Employee agrees that any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design that relates to
the business of the Company or relates to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development which
is conceived or suggested by Employee, either solely or jointly with others, within one (1) year following the termination
of Employee’s employment shall be presumed to have been so made, conceived or suggested in the course of such employment
with the use of the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, and/or trade secrets.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

(ii)          In
order to determine the rights of Employee and the Company in any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or
other material, and to insure the protection of the same, Employee agrees that during Employee’s employment, and for one
(1) year after the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee shall disclose immediately and fully to the Company
any idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software, writing or other material or design conceived, made or developed by Employee
solely or jointly with others. The Company agrees to keep any such disclosures confidential. Employee also agrees to record descriptions
of all work in the manner directed by the Company and agrees that all such records and copies, samples and experimental materials
shall be the exclusive property of the Company. Employee agrees that at the request of and without charge to the Company, but at
the Company’s expense, Employee shall execute a written assignment of the idea, discovery, invention, improvement, software,
writing or other material or design to the Company and shall assign to the Company any application for letters patent or for trademark
registration made thereon, and to any common-law or statutory copyright therein; and that Employee shall do whatever may be necessary
or desirable to enable the Company to secure any patent, trademark, copyright, or other property right therein in the United States
and in any foreign country, and any division, renewal, continuation, or continuation in part thereof, or for any reissue of any
patent issued thereon. In the event the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, and in any event after ten (10) business
days, to secure Employee’s signature on a written assignment to the Company of any application for letters patent or to any
common-law or statutory copyright or other property right therein, whether because of Employee’s physical or mental incapacity
or for any other reason whatsoever, Employee irrevocably designates and appoints the Corporate Secretary of the Company as Employee’s
attorney-in-fact to act on Employee’s behalf to execute and file any such application and to do all other lawfully permitted
acts to further the prosecution and issuance of such letters patent, copyright or trademark.

 

(iii)         Employee
acknowledges that, to the extent permitted by law, all work papers, reports, documentation, drawings, photographs, negatives, tapes
and masters thereof, prototypes and other materials (hereinafter, “items”), including without limitation, any and all
such items generated and maintained on any form of electronic media, generated by Employee during Employee’s employment with
the Company shall be considered a “work made for hire” and that ownership of any and all copyrights in any and all
such items shall belong to the Company. The item shall recognize the Company as the copyright owner, shall contain all proper copyright
notices, e.g., “(creation date) PureCycle Technologies, Inc., All Rights Reserved,” and shall be in condition
to be registered or otherwise placed in compliance with registration or other statutory requirements throughout the world.

 

(g)          Communication
of Contents of Agreement. While employed by the Company and for one (1) year thereafter, Employee shall communicate the
contents of paragraph 1 of this Agreement to any person, firm, association, partnership, corporation or other entity that
Employee intends to be employed by, associated with or represent.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

(h)           Confidentiality
Agreements. Employee agrees that Employee shall not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any secret or confidential
information belonging to Employee’s former employers. Employee warrants that Employee is not bound by the terms of a confidentiality
agreement or other agreement with a third party that would preclude or limit Employee’s right to work for the Company and/or
to disclose to the Company any ideas, inventions, discoveries, improvements or designs or other information that may be conceived
during employment with the Company. Employee agrees to provide the Company with a copy of any and all agreements with a third party
that preclude or limit Employee’s right to make disclosures or to engage in any other activities contemplated by Employee’s
employment with the Company.

 

(i)            Relief.
Employee acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law available to the Company for breach of any of Employee’s obligations
under this Agreement would be inadequate. Employee therefore agrees that, in addition to any other rights or remedies that the
Company may have at law or in equity, temporary and permanent injunctive relief may be granted in any proceeding which may be brought
to enforce any provision contained in subparagraphs 1(b), 1(d), 1(e), 1(f), 1(g) and 1(h) inclusive, of this Agreement,
without the necessity of proof of actual damage.

 

(j)            Reasonableness.
Employee acknowledges that Employee’s obligations under this paragraph 1 are reasonable in the context of the nature
of the Company’s Business and the competitive injuries likely to be sustained by the Company if Employee were to violate
such obligations. Employee further acknowledges that this Agreement is made in consideration of, and is adequately supported by,
the agreement of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement and by other consideration, which Employee acknowledges
constitutes good, valuable and sufficient consideration.

 

(k)           Other
Acknowledgements. Nothing in this Agreement prevents Employee from providing, without prior notice to the Company, information
to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or
proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations.

 

2.            Definitions.

 

(a)           “Company’s
Business” means the design, development, manufacture, marketing or sale of sustainable plastic solutions, recycling technology
or related services and any other business that the Company conducts as evidenced on the Company’s website or marketing materials
of the Company.

 

(b)           “Restricted
Territory” means: (i) the geographic area(s) within a fifty (50) mile radius of any and all Company location(s) in,
to, or for which Employee worked, to which Employee was assigned or had any responsibility (either direct or supervisory) at the
time of termination of Employee’s employment and at any time during the two (2) year period prior to such termination;
(ii) the United States, and (iii) all of the specific customer accounts, whether within or outside of the geographic
area described in (i) and (ii) above, with which Employee had any contact or for which Employee had any responsibility

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

3.            Survival.
Subject to any limits on applicability contained therein, paragraph 1 shall survive and continue in full force in accordance
with its terms notwithstanding any termination of Employee’s employment.

 

4.            Notices.
Any notice to the Company provided for herein shall be in writing to the Company, marked Attention: Corporate Secretary, and any
notice to Employee shall be addressed to said Employee at Employee’s address on file with the Company at the time of such
notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, any written notice shall be deemed to be duly given if and when delivered personally
or deposited in the United States mail, first class registered mail, postage and fees prepaid, and addressed as aforesaid. Any
party may change the address to which notices are to be given hereunder by written notice to the other party as herein specified
(provided that for this purpose any mailed notice shall be deemed given on the third business day following deposit of the same
in the United States mail).

 

5.            Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced
as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

 

6.            Prevailing
Party’s Litigation Expenses. In the event of litigation between the Company and Employee related to this Agreement, the
non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees) reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection therewith.

 

7.            Complete
Agreement. This Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and effective as of its date supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or
between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

 

8.            Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (including facsimile and other electronically transmitted counterparts),
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

9.            Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee, the Company and their respective
heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns, except that neither party may assign any rights or delegate
any obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee hereby
consents to the assignment by the Company of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any successor to the Company by merger
or consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or other business combination (including a
business combination of the Company with a company formed to raise capital through an initial public offering for the purpose of
acquiring an existing company), provided such transferee or successor assumes the liabilities of the Company hereunder.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

10.            Choice
of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal, substantive laws of the state
of Florida. Employee agrees that the state and federal courts located in the state of Florida shall have jurisdiction in any action,
suit or proceeding against Employee based on or arising out of this Agreement and Employee hereby: (a) submits to the personal
jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process in connection with any action, suit or proceeding against
Employee; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court or otherwise) with respect
to personal jurisdiction, venue or service of process.

 

11.            Amendment
and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and
Employee, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall affect the validity,
binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement.

	 (1) 
	During the Interim Period, each Party shall give prompt notice in writing to the other Party of:

	 7.4 Thresholds and Limitations.

	  
	  

	 (1) 
	Subject to Section 7.4(4), the obligation of the Vendor to indemnify the Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7.2 and the Purchaser’s obligation to indemnify the Vendor and the Vendor Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7.3 are applicable only if the aggregate of all those Losses suffered or incurred by the Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnitees, on the one hand, or by the Vendor and the Vendor Indemnitees, on the other hand, as applicable, is in excess of $50,000 Subject to Section 7.4(2), if the aggregate of all those Losses suffered or incurred by the Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnitees exceeds that amount, the Vendor shall be obliged to indemnify the Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnitees for all of those Losses, including the Losses up to and including that amount.

 	 7.5 Notice of Claim.

	  
	  

	 (1) 
	An Indemnitee, promptly on becoming aware of any circumstances that have given or could give rise to a Third Party Claim or a Direct Claim, shall give an Indemnification Notice of those circumstances to its Indemnitees Representative and to the applicable Indemnitor or Indemnitors. The Indemnification Notice will specify whether the Losses arise as a result of a Third Party Claim or a Direct Claim, and will also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent the information is available) the factual basis for the Claim and the amount of the Losses, if known.
	  
	  

	 (2) 
	The failure to give, or delay in giving, an Indemnification Notice does not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations except and only to the extent of any prejudice caused to the Indemnitor by that failure or delay.
	  
	  

	 (3) 
	Provided that the Indemnitee gives an Indemnification Notice of the Claim to the Indemnitor on or prior to the expiry of the applicable time period related to that representation and warranty or covenant, as the case may be, set out in Sections 5.4 and 5.5, liability of the Indemnitor for that representation, warranty or covenant will continue in full force and effect until the final determination of that Claim.
	  
	  

	 7.6 Third Party Claims.

	  
	  

	 (1) 
	The Indemnitor has the right, by notice to the applicable Indemnitees Representative given not later than 30 days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice, to assume control of the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim provided that

  
 	  
	 (a) 
	the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek any injunctive or other equitable relief;
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (b) 
	if the named parties in any Third Party Claim include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee, representation by the same counsel would, in the judgment of the Indemnitee, still be appropriate notwithstanding any actual or potential differing interests between them (including the availability of different defences); and
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (c) 
	settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to establish a precedent, custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interest of the Indemnitee.

   
 	 (2) 
	On the assumption of control by the Indemnitor, it is conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the Third Party Claim is within the scope of, and is subject to, the indemnification pursuant to this Article 7, and:

  
 	  
	 (a) 
	the Indemnitor will actively and diligently proceed with the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, including the retaining of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees Representative;

    
 	
	-23-
	

	

  
 	  
	 (b) 
	the Indemnitor will keep the Indemnitees Representative fully advised with respect to the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim (including supplying copies of all relevant documents promptly as they become available) and will arrange for its counsel to inform the Indemnitees Representative on a regular basis of the status of the Third Party Claim;
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (c) 
	the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defence of the Third Party Claim (provided the Indemnitor shall continue to control that defence); and
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (d) 
	the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim unless consented to by the Indemnitees Representative (which consent may not be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld, delayed or conditioned).

  
 	 (3) 
	Provided all the conditions set forth in Section 7.6(1) are satisfied and the Indemnitor is not in breach of any of its obligations under Section 7.6(2), each of the Indemnitee and its Indemnitees Representative will, at the expense of the Indemnitor, co-operate with the Indemnitor and use its best efforts to make available to the Indemnitor all relevant information in its possession or under its control (provided that it does not cause the Indemnitee or its Indemnitees Representative to breach any confidentiality obligations) and will take such other steps as are, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnitor, necessary to enable the Indemnitor to conduct that defence, provided always that:

  
 	  
	 (a) 
	no admission of fault may be made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Purchaser;
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (b) 
	no admission of fault may be made by or on behalf of the Vendor or any Vendor Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Vendor; and
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (c) 
	the Indemnitee and its Indemnitees Representative are not obligated to take any measures which, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee’s legal counsel, could be prejudicial or unfavourable to the Indemnitee.

  
 	 (4) 
	If (i) the Indemnitor does not give the relevant Indemnitees Representative the notice provided in Section 7.6(1), (ii) any of the conditions in Section 7.6(1) are unsatisfied, or (iii) the Indemnitor breaches any of its obligations under Sections 7.6(2) or 7.6(3), the applicable Indemnitees Representative may assume control of the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim as in its sole discretion may appear advisable, and is entitled to retain counsel as in its sole discretion may appear advisable, the whole at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. Any settlement or other final determination of the Third Party Claim will be binding on the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor will, at its sole cost and expense, cooperate fully with the Indemnitee and its Indemnitees Representative and use its best efforts to make available to the Indemnitee and its Indemnitees Representative all relevant information in its possession or under its control and take such other steps as are, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnitee, necessary to enable the Indemnitee to conduct the defence. The Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnitee and its Indemnitees Representative promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including legal fees and expenses), and will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnitee and its Indemnitees Representative may suffer resulting from, arising out of or relating to the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 7.

     
 	
	-24-
	

	

  
 	 7.7 Direct Claims. Following receipt of an Indemnification Notice in respect of a Direct Claim, the Indemnitor has 60 days to make such investigation of the Direct Claim as is considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of that investigation, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnitor the information relied on by the Indemnitee to substantiate the Direct Claim, together with such information as the Indemnitor may reasonably request. If the Parties agree at or prior to the expiry of this 60 day period (or prior to the expiry of any extension of this period agreed to by the Parties) as to the validity and amount of that Direct Claim, the Indemnitor shall immediately pay to the Indemnitee the full amount as agreed to by the Parties of the Direct Claim. For clarity, the Purchaser is deemed to have incurred or suffered Losses as of and from the Closing Date as a consequence of any reduction in the value of the Purchased Assets resulting from an inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty by the Vendor or any breach or non-fulfillment by the Vendor of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement.

	  

	 7.8 Waiver. The Indemnitor waives any right it may have to require an Indemnitee to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or to claim payment from any other Person before claiming under the indemnity provided for in this Article 7. It is not necessary for an Indemnitee to incur expense or make payment before enforcing that indemnity.

	  

	 7.9 Duty to Mitigate and Subrogation.

  
 	 (1) 
	Nothing in this Agreement in any way restricts or limits the general obligation under Applicable Law of an Indemnitee to mitigate any loss which it may suffer or incur by reason of a breach by an Indemnitor of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Indemnitor under this Agreement or in any contract, agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement.
	  
	  

	 (2) 
	The Indemnitee shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, subrogate its rights relating to any Third Party Claim to the Indemnitor and shall make all counterclaims and implead all third Persons as may be reasonably required by the Indemnitor, the whole at the cost and expense of the Indemnitor.

  
 	 7.10 Obligation to Reimburse.

	  
	  

	 (1) 
	The Indemnitor shall reimburse to the Indemnitee the amount of any Losses, as of the later of (i) date that the Indemnitee incurs any such Losses and (ii) the date of demand by the Indemnitee, together with interest thereon from that date until payment in full, at the rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate of the Bank of Montreal from time to time plus 5%, that payment being made without prejudice to the Indemnitor’s right to contest the basis of the Indemnitee’s Claim for indemnification.
	  
	  

	 (2) 
	The amount of any and all Losses under this Article 7 are to be determined net of any amounts recovered or recoverable by the Indemnitee under insurance policies, indemnities, reimbursement arrangements or similar contracts with respect to those Losses. The Indemnitee shall take all appropriate steps to enforce that recovery. Each Party waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Losses.
	  
	  

	 (3) 
	If an Indemnitee is subject to Tax in respect of the receipt of an amount pursuant to this Article 7, after taking into account any offsetting deduction or tax credit available in respect of the applicable Losses, then the amount payable by the Indemnitor will be increased by an amount (the “Increased Amount”) such that the Indemnitee will be in the same position after paying Tax on the amount received hereunder, including any Taxes payable on the Increased Amount, as the Indemnitee would have been in had the Losses giving rise to that payment not arisen and had that amount not been payable.
	  
	  

	 (4) 
	If any payment (the “Payment”) made pursuant to this Article 7 is subject to GST/HST or is deemed by the ETA or any similar provision of any Applicable Law to be inclusive of GST/HST, the Indemnitor will pay to the Indemnitee, in addition to the Payment, an amount equal to the GST/HST in connection with that Payment and that additional amount.

     
 	
	-25-
	

	

  
 	 7.11 Exclusivity.

 ARTICLE 8
 GENERAL
  
 	 8.1 Confidentiality of Information.

  
 	 (1) 
	For the purposes of this Section 8.1, “Confidential Information” of a Party at any time means all information relating to that Party which at the time is of a confidential nature (whether or not specifically identified as confidential), is known or should be known by the other relevant Party or its Representatives as being confidential, and has been or is from time to time made known to or is otherwise learned by the relevant other Party or any of its Representatives as a result of the matters provided for in this Agreement, and includes:

  
 	  
	 (a) 
	the existence and the terms of this Agreement and of any other contract, agreement, instrument, certificate or other document to be entered into as contemplated by this Agreement;
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (b) 
	a Party’s business records;
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (c) 
	all Personal Information;
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (d) 
	all information and documentation with respect to the Purchased Assets provided by the Vendor to the Purchaser and its Representatives, including all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries and other material prepared by the Purchaser and its Representatives as a result of the information or documentation; and
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (e) 
	all copies of documents and data retained by the Vendor pursuant to Section 6.1(2).
	  
	  
	  

	  
	 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include any information that at the time has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the other Party or any of its Representatives, any information that was available to the other Party or its Representatives on a non-confidential basis before the date of this Agreement or any information that becomes available to the other Party or its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a Person (other than the Party to which the information relates or any of its Representatives) who is not, to the knowledge of the other Party or its Representatives, otherwise bound by confidentiality obligations to the Party to which the information relates in respect of the information or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the other Party or its Representatives.

     
 	
	-26-
	

	

  
 	 (2) 
	Each Party shall (and shall cause each of its Representatives to) hold in strictest confidence and not use in any manner, other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, all Confidential Information of the other Parties.
	  
	  

	 (3) 
	Section 8.1(2) shall not apply to the disclosure of any Confidential Information where that disclosure is required by Applicable Law. In that case, the Party required to disclose (or whose Representative is required to disclose) shall, as soon as possible in the circumstances, notify the other Parties of the requirement of the disclosure including the nature and extent of the disclosure and the provision of Applicable Law pursuant to which the disclosure is required. To the extent possible, the Party required to make the disclosure shall, before doing so, provide to the other Parties the text of any disclosure. On receiving the notification, the other Parties may take any reasonable action to challenge the requirement, and the affected Party shall (or shall cause the applicable Representative to), at the expense of the other Parties, assist the other Parties in taking that reasonable action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no disclosure shall be made of the amount of the Purchase Price, unless and to the extent required by Applicable Law.
	  
	  

	 (4) 
	Following the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3, each Party shall (and shall cause each of its Representatives to) promptly, on a request from any other Party, return to the requesting Party all copies of any tangible items (other than this Agreement), if any, that are or that contain Confidential Information of the requesting Party, except that if the Party so obligated to return Confidential Information or its Representatives have prepared notes, analyses, compilations, studies or summaries containing or concerning any Confidential Information, then that Party may, instead of returning the notes, analyses, compilations, studies or summaries, destroy them and provide a certificate to that effect to the requesting Party.

  
 	 8.2 Expenses. Each Party shall pay all expenses (including Taxes imposed on those expenses) it incurs in the authorization, negotiation, preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions, including all fees and expenses of its legal counsel, bankers, investment bankers, brokers, accountants or other representatives or consultants.

	  

	 8.3 Best Efforts. In this Agreement, unless specified otherwise, an obligation of any Party to use its best efforts to obtain any Approval does not require the Party to make any payment to any Person for the purpose of procuring the Approval, except for payments for amounts due and payable to that Person, payments for incidental expenses incurred by that Person and payments required by any Applicable Law.

	  

	 8.4 No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as provided for in Section 7.14, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and no third party accrues any benefit, claim or right of any kind pursuant to, under, by or through this Agreement.

	  

	 8.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the other Transaction Documents delivered at Closing constitute the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and supersede all prior correspondence, agreements, negotiations, discussions and understandings, written or oral. Except as specifically set out in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, there are no representations, warranties, conditions or other agreements or acknowledgements, whether direct or collateral, express or implied, written or oral, statutory or otherwise, that form part of or affect this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or which induced any Party to enter into this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. No reliance is placed on any representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion of fact made either prior to, concurrently with, or after entering into, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any amendment or supplement hereto or thereto, by any Party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents or its Representatives, to any other Party or its Representatives, except to the extent the representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion of fact has been reduced to writing and included as a term in this Agreement or that other Transaction Document, and none of the parties to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document has been induced to enter into this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents or any amendment or supplement by reason of any such representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion of fact. There is no liability, either in tort or in contract, assessed in relation to the representation, warranty, opinion, advice or assertion of fact, except as contemplated in this Section.

     
 	
	-27-
	

	

  
 	 8.6 Estimates, Projections and Data Room Materials.

  
 	 (1) 
	In connection with its investigation of the Purchased Assets, the Purchaser has received certain estimates, projections and other forecasts as well as business plan and budget information (collectively, “Forward-Looking Information”) from the Vendor. The Purchaser acknowledges that (i) there are uncertainties inherent in creating the Forward-Looking Information, (ii) the Purchaser takes full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of the Forward-Looking Information (including the reasonableness of any underlying assumptions), and (iii) the Purchaser has no claim again the Vendor with respect to the Forward-Looking Information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Vendor nor any Person acting for or on behalf of the Vendor will have or be subject to any liability to the Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnitees resulting from the distribution to Purchaser, or Purchaser’s use of the Confidential Information or any information, document, or material made available to Purchaser in the Data Room, management presentations, any other form or otherwise in anticipation of the Transactions. 
	  
	  

	 (2) 
	The Vendor does not make any representation or warranty with respect to the Forward-Looking Information or any other information provided in the Data Room or pursuant to any management presentation or otherwise, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Transaction Documents, and the Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying on such information in any manner whatsoever. By the Closing Date, the Purchaser will have conducted, to its satisfaction, an independent investigation of the Purchased Assets for the determination of completing the Transactions, and if the Purchaser chooses to complete the Transactions, the Purchaser acknowledges that it has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and the representations and warranties of the Vendor set out in Section 5.1.

  
 	 8.7 Non-Merger. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties set out in this Agreement do not merge but survive Closing and, notwithstanding such Closing or any investigation by or on behalf of a Party, continue in full force and effect. Closing does not prejudice any right of one Party against another Party in respect of any remedy in connection with anything done or omitted to be done under this Agreement.

	  

	 8.8 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

	  

	 8.9 Amendment. This Agreement may be supplemented, amended, restated or replaced only by written agreement signed by each Party.

	  

	 8.10 Waiver of Rights. Any waiver of, or consent to depart from, the requirements of any provision of this Agreement is effective only if it is in writing and signed by the Party giving it, and only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it has been given. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement operates as a waiver of that right. No single or partial exercise of any such right precludes any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right. 

	  

	 8.11 Jurisdiction. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia sitting in Vancouver in respect of all disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with it or derived from it.

	  

	 8.12 Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by, and interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

The Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision which is so restricted, prohibited or unenforceable with an unrestricted and enforceable provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the restricted, prohibited or unenforceable provision which it replaces.

 SCHEDULE 2.3(2)(e)
  
 LIMITED LICENSE AGREEMENT
  
 This Limited License Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated as ______________ of 20       (the “Effective Date”) is made by and between Hill Street Beverage Company Inc., an Ontario incorporated company with offices at 480 University Avenue, Suite 1401, Toronto, ON M5G 1V2 (the “LICENSOR”) and Lexaria CanPharm ULC, a British Columbia unlimited liability corporation with offices at #100 – 740 McCurdy Road, Kelowna, British Columbia, V1X 2P7, Canada (together with its successors and assigns the “LICENSEE”). LICENSOR and LICENSEE are sometimes referred to individually herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.
   
 RECITALS
  
 WHEREAS certain capitalized terms not otherwise defined below are defined in Exhibit D herein;
  
 WHEREAS, LICENSEE has been engaged in the business of researching, developing, manufacturing, and selling consumer and/or therapeutic products for human and/or animal use which contain cannabis ingredients containing 0.3% or more tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”);
  
 WHEREAS, LICENSOR has been issued a license from Lexaria Bioscience Corp., being the indirect owner of certain intellectual property and technology related to, including but not limited to, the development, testing, and manufacturing process for THC infused products (the “Technology”) and further has been issued the right to sublicense the Technology to parties who wish to utilize the Technology with respect to products that incorporate 0.3% or more THC; which Technology is more specifically described in Exhibit A;
  
 WHEREAS, LICENSEE wishes to utilize the Technology of LICENSOR (which shall include any Licensor’s Improvements, as defined in Section 3) c), and LICENSOR desires for LICENSEE to utilize the Technology with ingredients containing 0.3% or greater of THC to create, manufacture and/or sell consumer products as of the Effective Date (together or separately, the “End Products”), as further described in Exhibit B, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Such End Products shall only be distributed and/or sold by LICENSEE or a Related Entity, as defined in Section 1) a)) below, in compliance with all applicable laws and licensing requirements within the Territory as is permitted by this Agreement or an addendum to this Agreement to sell or distribute the End Products; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Parties intend and desire for these recitals to be incorporated into the Agreement, and to be bound by any representations or obligations contained therein.
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the respective covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
  
 	
	1
	

	

  
 AGREEMENT
  
 	 1) 
	 License of Technology: Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, LICENSOR hereby grants to LICENSEE a limited license (as defined in Section 2 below), to use the Technology to develop, test, make, sell, offer for sale and distribute the End Products during the Term of this Agreement. 

  
 	  
	 a) 
	 Limited Ability to Sub-license: LICENSEE is expressly permitted to sub-license its license to use the Technology to Related Entities (all as defined in Exhibit D), without LICENSOR’s consent; provided, however, that LICENSEE may sub-license its license to one Person per country of the Territory per End Product Line as defined in Schedule B, to perform contract manufacturing for LICENSEE (a “Contract Manufacturer”) so long as LICENSEE notifies LICENSOR of the name and address of such manufacturer prior to any sub-license. At the request of LICENSEE, LICENSOR shall have the option of acting as the LICENSEE’s Contract Manufacturer for the production of End Products in Canada for the sole purpose of exportation outside of Canada and the US, at terms to be negotiated by the Parties at the time of the request. Any Contract Manufacturer must agree in writing to all obligations of LICENSEE hereunder, including those relating to confidentiality and non-use regarding both Parties’ Confidential Information. The LICENSEE shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion to terminate a Contract Manufacturer at any time and replace such Contract Manufacturer. In the event that LICENSEE performs one or more of its obligations under this Agreement through a Related Entity or Contract Manufacturer, then LICENSEE shall at all times be responsible for the performance by such Related Entity or Contract Manufacturer of LICENSEE’s obligations hereunder. The LICENSEE shall not have any additional rights to sub-license the license to use the Technology unless the LICENSOR provides its prior written approval to such sub-license.

	  
	  
	  

	  
	 b) 
	 Active Substances: Nothing in this Agreement, with respect to the specific license being granted by the LICENSOR to the LICENSEE therein, infers applicability of the Technology by LICENSEE for enabling active substance incorporation and potentiation in LICENSEE’s End Products, other than those End Products derived from cannabis or hemp and containing 0.3% or greater THC. LICENSEE is prohibited from developing, manufacturing or selling in its Territory, any End Product that is marketed as the following types of products: (i) a fat soluble vitamin product for vitamins A, D, E, and/or K, whether in their natural or synthetic forms, (ii) a Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory (NSAID) product which contains acetaminophen, ibuprofen, acetylsalicylic acid, diclofenac, indomethacin, and piroxicam, or substances similar thereto; or (iii) a nicotine or nicotine analog product and any other active substance not specifically named and allowed within this Agreement. Certain cannabinoids are thought to deliver anti-inflammatory benefits which benefits ARE permitted under this Agreement if delivered through the cannabinoids described as the End Products; and are only prohibited if delivered through NSAIDs’ as described in this section.

  
 	 2) 
	 Non-Exclusivity. LICENSEE will have the following rights to research, develop, produce and sell the End Products for the Term in the Territory using the Technology licensed pursuant to this Agreement.

  
 	  
	 a) 
	 In the Territory: Non-Exclusive rights from the Effective Date until the expiry of the Term, allowing LICENSEE the non-exclusive ability to continue to manufacture the End Products directly or through its Related Entity or Contract Manufacturer in the Territory for the balance of the term of this Agreement as per Section 4. 

	  
	  
	  

	  
	 b) 
	 LICENSOR’s Products: LICENSOR shall not be prohibited from licensing or similar arrangements with respect to the Technology. LICENSOR is expressly permitted to utilize the Technology on any basis it chooses, at any time, for producing and commercializing its own products under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement it effected with LICENSEE dated November 18, 2020. 

  
 	
	2
	

	

  
 	 3) 
	 Rights and Obligations Related to the Technology. Except as expressly provided in this section or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Party will be deemed by this Agreement to have been granted any license or other rights to the other Party’s products, information or other intellectual property rights, either expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise. 

  
 	  
	 a) 
	 LICENSOR Intellectual Property: LICENSOR, via its license from Lexaria Bioscience Corp., retains its full, absolute, and complete rights to all processes covered or described in all of the issued patents and patent applications filed prior to the date of this Agreement as listed in the attached Exhibit A in connection with the enhancement of 0.3% or greater THC End Products, and any future continuations, continuations in part or divisional applications filed thereto, including but not limited to the US Provisional patent applications, US Utility patent application, and the International patent application, that comprise the Technology (collectively “Licensor IP”), unless LICENSOR or Lexaria Bioscience Corp. allows these applications to abandon or lapse, or otherwise fails to protect the Technology. Except as expressly provided for in Section 2, nothing in this Agreement or in the conduct of the Parties shall be interpreted as preventing LICENSOR from granting to any other person a license for use of the Licensor IP or from using the Licensor IP in any manner whatsoever outside of the use for drug, pharmaceutical, or biopharmaceutical purposes which is not permitted.

	  
	  
	  

	  
	 b) 
	 LICENSEE Intellectual Property: Any intellectual property resulting solely from LICENSEE’s work, know-how, or development that does not include nor rely upon the Licensor IP or jointly owned intellectual property, as described in this Agreement, shall be owned by LICENSEE (“Licensee IP”).

	  
	  
	  

	  
	 c) 
	Improvements: 

  
 	  
	 i) 
	 LICENSOR Improvements: The entire right and title to the Technology, whether or not patentable, and any patent applications or patents based thereon, which directly relate to and are not severable from Licensor IP and which are improvements thereto by LICENSOR or any Related Entity of the LICENSOR, and such associated employees or others acting for LICENSOR’s or LICENSOR’s Related Entity’s behalf shall be owned solely by LICENSOR or such Related Entity of LICENSOR as designated by LICENSOR (in any such case the “Licensor Improvements”) and all costs associated with creation, filing and prosecution of any patent applications related thereto shall be borne by LICENSOR. If LICENSOR develops any Licensor Improvements, LICENSOR will promptly provide LICENSEE with written notice of such Licensor Improvements. Following receipt of notice of such Licensor Improvements, LICENSEE or any LICENSEE Related Entities shall have the right to utilize said Licensor Improvements during the Term of this Agreement (and any renewal terms).

	  
	 ii) 
	 LICENSEE Improvements: Rights and title to improvements whether or not patentable, and any patent applications or patents based thereon, which directly relate to and are not severable from Licensor IP and which are improvements thereto by LICENSEE, its employees or a Related Entity, as defined by this Agreement, shall be owned by the LICENSEE (“Licensee Improvements”) and all costs associated with creation, filing and prosecution of any patent applications related thereto shall be borne by LICENSEE. In respect to such Licensee Improvements, LICENSOR grants LICENSEE a license to use the underlying intellectual property supporting any such improvement for so long as this Agreement remains in effect (including any renewal terms) and LICENSOR agrees to negotiate in good faith, terms of a license renewal after the end of the Term of this Agreement and any renewal terms per Section 4. a). If LICENSEE develops any Licensee Improvements, LICENSEE will promptly provide LICENSOR with written notice of such Licensee Improvements to validate LICENSEE’S claim to Licensee Improvements. Following receipt of notice of such Licensee Improvements, LICENSOR shall have the exclusive option during the Term of this Agreement (and any renewal terms) to purchase or license from LICENSEE the Licensee Improvements for LICENSOR’s use, or for the use by LICENSOR’s Related Entities, upon mutually agreeable terms and conditions that the parties shall negotiate in good faith.

  
 	
	3
	

	

  
 	  
	 iii) 
	 Joint Improvements: Rights and title to the Technology, whether or not patentable, and any patent applications or patents based thereon, which directly relate to and are not severable from Licensor IP and which are improvements thereto by both LICENSOR and LICENSEE shall be jointly owned intellectual property by LICENSOR and LICENSEE and all costs associated with creation, filing and prosecution of any patent applications related thereto shall be shared equally by LICENSOR and LICENSEE subject to 3) e) below.

	 j) 
	 Infringement. If LICENSEE learns of any activity by a third party that might constitute an infringement of LICENSOR’s rights in any of the Technology, or if any third party asserts that LICENSEE’s use of the Technology constitutes unauthorized use or infringement, LICENSEE shall so notify LICENSOR. 

	  
	  
	  

	  
	 k) 
	Enforcement. 

  
 	  
	 i) 
	 LICENSOR has the right, directly or indirectly, but not the obligation, to enforce its rights against any third-party infringement and to defend LICENSEE’s right to use the Licensor IP. If LICENSOR prosecutes any alleged infringement of the Licensor IP, or defends LICENSEE’s right to use the Licensor IP, LICENSOR shall control such litigation and shall bear the expense of such actions. LICENSEE shall make all reasonable efforts to assist LICENSOR therewith, including joining such action as a party plaintiff or providing such evidence and expert assistance as LICENSEE may have within its control, with all costs for such cooperation to be borne by LICENSOR. LICENSOR shall retain the award of any damages in this case. If LICENSOR chooses to not enforce against an alleged infringement, LICENSEE may itself enforce LICENSOR’s rights (and its own rights as a licensee) in the Technology, with all costs to be borne by LICENSEE. LICENSEE shall retain the award of any damages in this case.

	  
	 ii)

	 d) 
	 Effect of Termination. Except as provided for in Section 5, LICENSEE’s payment obligations shall extinguish if this Agreement is terminated. If the Agreement expires without any renewal thereof, then LICENSEE must immediately cease and desist all utilization of the Technology for any purpose whatsoever including to manufacture, distribute or sell End Products, except that LICENSEE may continue to distribute and sell End Products until all finished goods and raw materials inventory that pertain to the Technology have been sold and LICENSEE shall be obligated to pay LICENSOR any related License Fees (as defined in Section 5 for such sales. In any event, upon the natural future expiration of all pending and issued patents, as applicable, related to the Technology described herein the License Agreement shall expire and LICENSEE shall have no further payment obligations to LICENSOR.

	  
	  
	  

	  
	 e) 
	 Survivability. This agreement in its entirety survives and remains in force if either Party is acquired by any unknown third party. In the event that either Party negotiates any such sale or acquisition, then it shall form a part of any such sale or acquisition agreement, that this Agreement remains binding upon the third party that is the purchaser or acquirer. 

  
 	 5) 
	Compensation and Payment. 

  
 	  
	 a) 
	 Until such time as the LICENSOR satisfies all of its obligations to pay the Purchase Price, the LICENSEE shall be granted a royalty free license to the use of the Technology within the Territory for the enhancement of the End Products.

If LICENSEE materially breaches this Agreement, LICENSEE shall remain responsible for any License Fee payments due through the end of the calendar quarter during which such breach occurs. LICENSEE’s failure to pay any portion of the applicable License Fee or any reimbursable expenses when due will be a material breach of this Agreement by LICENSEE. If any payment due to LICENSOR under this Agreement is not paid within thirty (30) days following such Party’s written demand therefore, then such payment shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month from the date such payment was originally due.

In the event any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement remains unresolved within sixty (60) days from the date the affected Party informed the other Party of such dispute, either Party may initiate mediation upon written notice to the other Party (“Notice Date”), the Parties shall be obligated to engage in a mediation proceeding under the then current Center for Public Resources (“CPR”) Model Procedure for Mediation of Business Disputes (www.cpradr.org), except that specific provisions of this Article shall override inconsistent provisions of the CPR Model Procedure. The mediator will be selected from the CPR Panels of Neutrals. If the Parties cannot agree upon the selection of a mediator within fifteen (15) business days after the Notice Date, then upon the request of either Party, the CPR shall appoint the mediator. The Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation until the first of the following occurs: (i) the Parties reach a written settlement, (ii) the mediator notifies the Parties in writing that they have reached an impasse, (iii) the Parties agree in writing that they have reached an impasse, or (iv) the Parties have not reached a settlement within sixty (60) days after the Notice Date. 

	  
	 ii) 
	 Failure to Mediate. If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute through mediation, each Party shall have the right to pursue any other remedies legally available to resolve the dispute, including by way of arbitration or a suit. 

  
 	  
	 d) 
	Performance to Continue. Each Party shall continue to perform its undisputed obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that a Party may suspend performance of its undisputed obligations during any period in which the other Party fails or refuses to perform its undisputed obligations. Nothing in this section is intended to relieve LICENSEE from its obligation to make undisputed payments pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement. 

  
 	 27) 
	 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any dispute between the parties arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have, to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

  
 	 28) 
	 No Interpretation Against Drafter. Each Party participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, assisted by such legal and tax counsel as it desired, and contributed to its revisions. Any ambiguities with respect to any provision of this Agreement will be construed fairly as to all Parties and not in favor of or against any Party. All pronouns and any variation thereof will be construed to refer to such gender and number as the identity of the subject may require. The terms “include” and “including” indicate examples of a predicate word or clause and not a limitation on that word or clause.

	  
	  

	 29) 
	 Headings. The headings of sections are provided for convenience only and will not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 

	  
	  

	 30) 
	 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations in this Agreement if such delay or failure to perform is due to any cause or condition reasonably beyond that Party’s control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, government intervention, riot, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, earthquakes, fire, flood, accident, strikes, inability to secure transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

   
 	
	13
	

	

  
 	 31) 
	 Survival. In addition to LICENSEE’s obligation to pay LICENSOR all amounts due hereunder, the Parties obligations under this Agreement shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement only as expressly provided herein.

	  
	  

	 32) 
	 Invalidity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any term or terms of this Agreement shall not invalidate, make unenforceable or otherwise affect any other term of this Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect.

	  
	  

	 33) 
	 Severability. If any terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be found to be illegal or unenforceable, notwithstanding, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and such terms or provisions shall be deemed stricken.

	  
	  

	 34) 
	 Further Assurances. Upon a Party’s reasonable request, the other Party shall, at requester’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver all further documents and instruments, and take all further acts, as are reasonably necessary to give full effect to this Agreement.

	  
	  

	 35) 
	 Counterparts. The Parties may execute this Agreement in multiple counterparts, each of which will constitute an original and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one and the same agreement.

 EXHIBIT C
  
 LICENSE FEE
  
 Upon execution of this Agreement, LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR the License Fee as set forth below. The License Fee shall be paid in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement.
  
 	  
	 (a) 
	 Usage Fee. Upon payment in full by the LICENSOR to the LICENSEE of the Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets, as those terms are defined in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 18, 2020 between the Parties, LICENSEE agrees to pay quarterly to LICENSOR a usage fee (the “Usage License Fee”) during the balance of the Agreement of 3% of the Revenue of End Products as defined in Exhibit D, in the Territory in US Dollars. LICENSEE agrees to pay the Usage License Fee for each product sold utilizing the Technology. 

	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (b) 
	 Audit Rights. Upon at least thirty (30) days’ written notice, LICENSOR shall have the right, through an independent, certified accounting firm, to examine such records and books of account of LICENSEE as are necessary to verify the accuracy of the Usage License Fee and other payments of LICENSEE under this Agreement. Such right may be exercised only once during any twelve (12) month period. Such examination may be performed during normal business hours at LICENSEE’S major place of business or at such other place as may be agreed upon by the LICENSOR and LICENSEE. The accounting firm may make abstracts or copies of such books of account solely for its use in performing the examination. LICENSOR will require, prior to any such examination, such accounting firm to agree in writing that such firm will maintain all information, abstracts, and copies acquired during such examination in strict confidence and will not make any use of such material other than to confirm to LICENSOR the accuracy of LICENSEE payments hereunder. If an inspection of LICENSEE’S records by the accountant of LICENSOR shows that LICENSEE has paid more than required under this Agreement, any excess amounts will, at LICENSEE’S option, be promptly refunded or credited against future Usage License Fees. If an inspection of LICENSEE’S records by the accountant of LICENSOR shows that LICENSEE shows an under-reporting or underpayment by LICENSEE of any amount to LICENSOR, by more than one percent (1%) and less than five percent (5%) for any twelve (12) month period, any excess amounts will, at LICENSOR’s option, be promptly paid or debited against future Usage License Fees. However, if an inspection of LICENSEE’S records shows an under-reporting or underpayment by LICENSEE of any amount to LICENSOR, by more than five percent (5%) for any twelve (12) month period, then LICENSEE will reimburse LICENSOR for the reasonable cost of the inspection as well as pay to LICENSOR any amount found due within thirty (30) days of receipt of the results of such inspection.

	  
	  
	  

	  
	 (g) 
	 Tax Adjustments: LICENSEE and LICENSOR acknowledge that all fees payable pursuant to this Agreement, including, as applicable, the Territory License Fee, Usage Fee, Severance Fee, Minimum Fee and Trademark License Fee, may be subject to adjustment, as required, for the purposes of withholding any applicable taxes by the LICENSEE and/or repayment to the LICENSOR of any applicable taxes as required pursuant to any municipal, state, provincial or federal legislation and that such fees shall be reduced by any such withholding or other applicable taxes.
