If prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, then all of the RSUs (and any related Dividend Equivalent Rights) subject to this Notice of Special Award shall terminate and be completely forfeited on the date of such termination of the Grantee’s employment unless the Grantee is entitled to any accelerated vesting of the RSUs under the terms of the EICP or other Company-sponsored plan or agreement or as described in paragraph 11(F) below, in which case such accelerated vesting of the RSUs will be in accordance with the terms of this Notice of Special Award or the applicable plan, agreement or local law.

In addition, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to any Vested Units at the same time as the payment for such underlying Vested Units.
5.  NON-COMPETITION.  Grantee acknowledges that due to the nature of his/her employment with Hershey, he/she has and will have access to, contact with, and Confidential Information about the Company’s business and Business Relationships.  Grantee acknowledges that the Company has incurred considerable expense and invested considerable time and resources in developing its Confidential Information and Business Relationships, and that such Confidential Information and Business Relationships are critical to the success of the Company’s business.  Accordingly, both (i) during the term of his/her employment with Hershey, and (ii) for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his/her employment, Grantee, except in the performance of his/her duties to Hershey, shall not, without the prior written consent of Hershey’s Chief Human Resources Officer, directly or indirectly serve or act in a consulting, employee or managerial capacity, or engage in oversight of any person who serves or acts in a consulting, employee or managerial capacity, as an officer, director, employee, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, agent or representative of a Competing Business.

Grantee acknowledges: (i) that the Company’s business is conducted throughout the United States and the world, (ii) notwithstanding the state of incorporation or principal office of Hershey, it is expected that the Company will have business activities and have valuable business relationships within its industry throughout the United States and around the world, and (iii) as part of Grantee’s responsibilities, Grantee has conducted or may conduct business throughout the United States and around the world in furtherance of the Company’s business and its relationships.  Grantee further acknowledges and understands that if he/she has any question about whether any prior position which Grantee has held at the Company over the last two (2) years subjects Grantee to specific restrictions, and will be used to identify Competing Business(es), Grantee should contact his/her Human Resource representative at Hershey. 
6.  NON-SOLICITATION.  Grantee acknowledges that the Company has invested and will invest significant time and money to recruit and retain its employees and to develop valuable, continuing relationships with existing and prospective clients and customers of the Company.  Accordingly, recognizing that Grantee has obtained and will obtain valuable information about employees of the Company and their respective talents and areas of expertise and information about the Company’s customers, suppliers, business partners, and/or vendors and their requirements, Grantee agrees both (i) during the term of his/her employment, and (ii) for a period of twelve (12) months following his/her termination of employment, Grantee, except in the performance of his/her duties to Hershey, shall not directly or indirectly (including as an officer, director, employee, consultant, advisor, agent or representative), for himself/herself or on behalf of any other person or entity:

(A)   for any purpose that is in competition with any of the aspects of the Company’s business, solicit, take away or engage, or participate in soliciting, taking away or engaging, any current or potential customers, suppliers, agents, licensees or licensors of the Company with whom Grantee had contact while employed by Hershey, or about whom Grantee had access to Confidential Information as a result of Grantee’s employment; or

(B)   recruit, hire, or attempt to recruit or hire, or solicit or encourage to leave their employment with the Company (either directly or by assisting others), any Company employee with whom Grantee had Material Contact during the last two (2) years of Grantee’s employment with Hershey.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not be violated by (i) general advertising or solicitation not specifically targeted at employees of the Company, or (ii) actions taken by any person or entity with which Grantee is associated if Grantee is not directly or indirectly involved in any manner in the matter and has not identified such employee of the Company for recruiting or solicitation.

7.  NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  Grantee acknowledges that due to the nature of his/her employment and the position of trust that he/she holds or will hold with Hershey, he/she will have access to, learn, be provided with, and in some cases will prepare and create for the Company, Confidential Information.  Grantee acknowledges and agrees that Confidential Information, whether or not in written form, is the exclusive property of Hershey, that it has been and will continue to be of critical importance to the business of Hershey, and that the disclosure of it will cause the Company substantial and irreparable harm.  Accordingly, Grantee will not, either during his/her employment or at any time after the termination of his/her employment with Hershey, use or disclose any Confidential Information relating to the business of the Company which is not generally available to the public.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 7, Grantee may disclose or use any such information (i) when such disclosure or use may be required or appropriate in the good faith judgment of Grantee in the course of performing his/her duties to Hershey and in accordance with Hershey policies and procedures, (ii) when required by a court of law, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over Grantee or the business of Hershey, or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction, or (iii) with the prior written consent of Hershey’s General Counsel.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Grantee understands and agrees that his/her obligations under this Agreement shall be in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any obligations Grantee may have under any applicable statute or at common law.

8.  ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS.

(A) To the extent that the Grantee does not vest in the RSUs, all interest in such units, the related shares of Common Stock, and any Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be forfeited.  The Grantee shall have no right or interest in any RSU or related share of Common Stock that is forfeited.

(B) Upon the issuance or transfer of shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Notice of Special Award, a number of RSUs equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued or transferred to the Grantee shall be extinguished and such number of RSUs will not be considered to be held by the Grantee for any purpose.

9.  WITHHOLDING.

(A) The Company’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or cash to settle the Vested Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be subject to the satisfaction of applicable tax withholding requirements.  The Grantee must pay to the Company any withholding tax due as a result of such payment.

(B) The Company shall have the right to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Grantee to satisfy the minimum applicable tax withholding requirements.

10.  OTHER LAWS.  The Company shall have the right to refuse to issue or transfer any shares under this Notice of Special Award if the Company acting in its absolute discretion determines that the issuance or transfer of such Common Stock might violate any applicable law or regulation.

11.  MISCELLANEOUS.

(A)  This Notice of Special Award shall be subject to all of the provisions, definitions, terms and conditions set forth in the EICP and any interpretations, rules and regulations promulgated by the Committee from time to time, all of which are incorporated by reference in this Notice of Special Award.  By accepting the RSUs awarded herewith, Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the RSUs are awarded under and governed by the terms and conditions set forth in this document and in the EICP, and the Employee Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement (or similar or successor agreement), if any, applicable to Grantee.  Any dispute or disagreement which shall arise under, as a result of, or in any way relate to the interpretation, construction or administration of the EICP or the RSUs awarded thereunder shall be determined in all cases and for all purposes by the Committee or any successor committee, and any such determination shall be final, binding 

 Page 4 of 6

and conclusive for all purposes.  In the event of any conflict between this Notice of Special Award and the Employee Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement (or similar or successor agreement), if any, applicable to Grantee, this Notice of Special Award shall govern.  Grantee acknowledges that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Notice of Special Award would be inadequate and therefore agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of any such breach or threatened breach.  Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting a bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent any violation of this Notice of Special Award and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy.  Grantee acknowledges and agrees that a violation of this Notice of Special Award would cause irreparable harm to the Company.  The Company’s right to injunctive relief shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies available by law or equity.  If a court determines that Grantee has breached or threatened to breach this Notice of Special Award, Grantee agrees to reimburse the Company for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing its terms.  However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for a breach, which may include, but not be limited to, contract damages, lost profits and punitive damages.

(B)  Grantee acknowledges and agrees that in addition to the relief described in paragraph 11(A), if the Committee determines, in its sole judgment, that Grantee has violated or threatened to violate the terms of this Notice of Special Award or the EICP, then Hershey may cancel any part of the grant that has not vested.  In addition, upon the request or direction of the Committee, Grantee shall also immediately deliver to Hershey, the cash equivalent of any RSUs that have vested under this Notice of Special Award, inclusive of any dividends paid on any vested shares.

(C)  Notwithstanding anything in the EICP or this Notice of Special Award to the contrary, Grantee acknowledges that the Company may be entitled or required by law or Hershey policy, to recoup compensation paid to Grantee pursuant to the EICP, and Grantee agrees to comply with any Company request or demand for recoupment.

(D) Grantee agrees that, at any time after Grantee’s termination of employment from Hershey, he/she will cooperate with the Company in (i) all investigations of any kind, (ii) helping to prepare and review documents and meetings with Company attorneys, and (iii) providing truthful testimony as a witness or a declarant during discovery and/or trial in connection with any present or future court, administrative, agency or arbitration proceeding involving the Company and with respect to which Grantee has relevant information.

(E) If one or more of the provisions of this Notice of Special Award shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Notice of Special Award to be construed so as to foster the intent of this award and the EICP.

(F) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Grantee: (i) is an employee of the Company in a country other than the United States (a “Foreign National”), (ii) is not subject to the federal income tax laws of the United States (“U.S. Tax Law”) for purposes of these RSUs, and (iii) has certain rights in the vesting and payment of the RSUs upon termination of employment under the laws of the country in which Grantee is employed, the vesting and payment of any unvested RSUs (and any related Dividend Equivalent Rights) will be in accordance with the terms of a severance agreement entered into between the Company and Grantee that complies with the laws of the country in which Grantee is employed or in the absence of a severance agreement, as may be required by the laws of such country; provided, however, if any RSUs, granted to such Foreign National, are subject to U.S. Tax Law, the payment of such RSUs shall be governed by the terms of this Notice of Special Award.

 Page 5 of 6

(G) The award of RSUs and all terms and conditions related thereto, including those of the EICP, shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  Grantee expressly consents that: (i) any action or proceeding relating to a breach or the enforceability of this Notice of Special Award will be brought only in the federal or state courts, as appropriate, located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; and (ii) any such action or proceeding will be heard without a jury.  Grantee expressly waives the right to bring any such action in any other jurisdiction and to have such action heard before a jury regardless of where such action is filed.  The EICP shall control in the event there is a conflict between the EICP and these terms and conditions.

Dear
Ms. Mayday:

 

Zoned
Properties, Inc. on behalf of ABA Enterprises, LLC and Chino Valley Properties, LLC (“Property Owners”) is pleased
to submit to you the attached Project Narrative and Phased Protected Development Right Plan (“PPDRP”) in support of
our request to the Town of Chino Valley (“Town”) for a Five Year Phased Protected Development Right Plan.

 

We
have reviewed the Town’s Fee Schedule and understand that there is not an established fee for this type of application.
Please let me know what the application fee for this proposal is, and I will be happy to send you a check.

 

It
is my understanding that at the February 9, 2016 meeting of the Town Council, the Council Members may be discussing the proposed
changes to the Chino Valley Unified Development Ordinance regarding Medical Marijuana (“MMJ”). As you know, over the
past few months our development team has made presentations to the Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Council regarding
the proposed changes to the Chino Valley MMJ zoning ordinance and, more specifically, how a PPDRP can be used to preserve the
expansion rights of our existing MMJ businesses in Chino Valley. It might be appropriate to include our PPDRP on the Council's
agenda for action at the meeting on the 9th. In our opinion, approval of the PPRDP by the Town Council “will promote reasonable
certainty, stability and fairness in the land use planning and regulatory process and secure the reasonable investment backed
expectations of the landowner.” (A.R.S. §96 1202(F)

 

Thank
you for your review of the enclosed materials. Please contact me at 602-628-7690 or Ralph Pew at 480-461-4670 if you have any
questions or comments. We look forward to working collaboratively with the Town staff, Planning & Zoning Commission and Town
Council to create development strategies, which will serve the interests of the Town and the Property Owners.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Bryan McLaren

Description
of Proposal

 

As
shown on the Phased Protected Development Right Plan, Exhibit D of this narrative, the Property Owners are proposing
to develop the site in three different phases, identified on the PPDRP as Phases 1, 2 and 3.

 

The
first phase includes the existing and planned expansion of a licensed medical marijuana cultivation facility. Additional uses
for phase one include a hay farm, vineyard and a solar power array.

 

The
second phase of development will include expansions of the hay farm and vineyard established in phase one, an additional solar
power array, and a residential housing project.

 

The
third and final phase of development will include another solar power array, an additional licensed medical marijuana cultivation
facility and additional residential housing.

 

Every
land use element of a previous phase of the PPDRP is not required to be completely built out before a new phase could begin.

 

As
previously noted, a more detailed plan for each phase of the PPDRP will be submitted prior to the development of each phase for
site plan approval by the Town.

 

Relationship
to Surrounding Properties and Existing Zoning

 

The
project site is on the east side of State Route 89, south of Road 3 1/2 North and west of Road 1 East.

Development
Schedule

 

As
shown on the PPDRP, this project will be developed in three phases. Per Arizona Revised Statute §9-1203(A), as a phased development,
the development rights established with the approval of this PPDRP would be valid for five years. However, as outlined in A.R.S.
§9-1203(B), the Town may extend the duration period for two additional years if a longer time period is warranted by “all
relevant circumstances, including the size, type and phasing of the development on the property, the level of investment of the
landowner, economic cycles and market conditions.” However, the protected development right shall not remain established
for more than seven years.

of this PPDRP will allow for the continued development of a well-designed Commercial enterprise, which includes renewable energy
sources, residential housing, Licensed Medical Marijuana Facilities and diverse agricultural facilities. The Property Owners look
forward to working with the Town to develop the planning and legal framework, which will implement this phased development vision.
