 ARTICLE II 
 PURCHASE AND SALE
  
 Section 2.01 Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, each Equityholder shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from each Equityholder, the Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances, for the consideration specified in Section 2.02.
  
 Section 2.02 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares shall be an amount equal to Thirteen Million Dollars ($13,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”) which shall be paid as follows:
  
 (a) at the Closing, One Million Dollars (US$1,000,000) in cash to a bank account designated by the Equityholders (the “Closing Cash”);
  
 (b) at the Closing, Ten Million United States Dollars ($10,000,000.00) of the Purchase Price (the “Closing Stock Value”) shall be payable in shares (“Closing Stock”) of Buyer’s publicly traded affiliate, MedMen Enterprises Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Pubco”). The number of shares of Pubco which will be issued to comprise the Closing Stock shall be (i) the Closing Stock Value, divided by (ii) the product of (A) the volume-weighted average closing price Pubco on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) during the 5-day period immediately prior to the Closing, and (B) the CAD to USD exchange rate as of the Closing. The Closing Stock shall not be sold or transferred for a period of one year pursuant to a Lock Up Agreement to be executed by the Equityholders at the Closing (the “Lock Up Agreement”). In exchange for the Lock Up Agreement, in the event that the Closing Stock Value decreases in value in between the Closing and one year after the Closing (the “Anniversary”), Buyer shall “true up” the Equityholders by issuing additional shares of Pubco stock such that on the Anniversary, the Pubco shares will still equal the Closing Stock Value. For illustrative purposes only, if the Closing Stock Value is $5.00 but on the Anniversary, the closing stock price is $4.00, Buyer will issue an additional 500,000 shares of Pubco such that the Equityholders will hold $10,000,000 in shares of Pubco on the Anniversary. There shall be no restrictions on transfer or sale of the Closing Stock; provided that the Closing Stock shall have customary 1933 Securities Act legends which will need to be removed prior to resale by the Equityholders prior to resale;
   
 	 
	10
	

	 

  
 (c) One Million United States Dollars ($1,000,000.00) paid in cash to a bank account designated by the Equityholders six (6) months after the Closing (the “First Deferred Payment”); and
   
 (d) One Million United States Dollars ($1,000,000.00) paid in cash to a bank account designated by the Equityholders twelve (12) months after the Closing (together with the First Deferred Payment, the “Deferred Cash”). In the event Buyer is unable to make the Deferred Cash payment to Equityholders, Buyer’s publicly traded parent, MedMen Enterprises Inc., agrees to make such Deferred Cash payment on behalf of Buyer.
  
 (e) Any amount owing the Company by Buyer which is not paid on its due date shall bear a penalty of 5% of the amount owed.
  
 Section 2.03 Transactions to be Effected at the Closing.
  
 (a) At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Equityholders:
  
 (i) the Closing Cash;
  
 (ii) the Closing Stock; and
  
 (iii) all other agreements, documents, instruments or certificates required to be delivered by Buyer at or prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 7.03 of this Agreement.
  
 (b) At the Closing, the Equityholders shall deliver to Buyer:
  
 (i) Stock certificates evidencing the transfer of the Shares to Buyer, free and clear of all Encumbrances, duly endorsed by each Equityholder, or such other evidence of transfer of the Shares satisfactory to Buyer, other than the equity interests of one of the Equityholders who is named as an Owner with the California Bureau of Cannabis Control (the “Remaining Owner”), which shall be placed in an escrow (the “Escrow”) mutually agreed to by the parties (the “Retained Interests”);.
  
 (ii) the Remaining Owner shall deposit with the Escrow the Retained Interests;
  
 (iii) all other agreements, documents, instruments or certificates required to be delivered by the Equityholders at or prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement.
   
 	 
	11
	

	 

  
 Section 2.04 Purchase Price Adjustment.
  
 (a) Closing Adjustment.
  
 (i) At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing, the Equityholders shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of all inventory held by the Company (the “Estimated Closing Inventory”) using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in determining the Target Closing Inventory.
  
 (ii) The “Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Inventory minus $370,000 (the “Target Closing Inventory”). If the Closing Adjustment is a positive number, the Purchase Price shall remain the same. If the Closing Adjustment is a negative number, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Closing Adjustment (the Closing Cash first, then the Closing Stock second).
  
 (b) Post-Closing Adjustment.
  
 (i) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the option to prepare and deliver to the Equityholders a statement (“Closing Inventory Statement”) setting forth its calculation of the inventory held by the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Inventory”).
  
 (ii) The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Closing Inventory minus the Estimated Closing Inventory (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”). If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Buyer shall not be required to make any additional payments pursuant to this Section 2.04. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, the Equityholders shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment; provided that if the Estimated Closing Inventory exceeded the Target Closing Inventory, the Equityholders shall pay Buyer an amount of the difference between the Target Closing Inventory and the Closing Inventory.
  
 (c) Examination and Review.
  
 (i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Inventory Statement, the Equityholders shall have 30 days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Inventory Statement.
  
 	 
	12
	

	 

  
 (ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Equityholders may object to the Closing Inventory Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth the Equityholders’ objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Equityholders’ disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”).

The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is an Equityholder, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.04(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.04(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Equityholders and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

 (b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.04(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.04(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
  
 (c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company' premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
  
 	 
	39
	

	 

  
 (d) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.20 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VI) shall be governed exclusively by Article VI hereof.
  
 Section 8.05 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 15%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. In the event the Indemnifying Party is an Equityholder, Buyer may first, in its sole discretion, satisfy such indemnity obligations through setting off the amount remaining under the Deferred Payments.
  
 Section 8.06 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
  
 Section 8.07 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party's waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be.
