Accordingly, Employee agrees that in the event of such breach, Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief or such other equitable remedy as a court of competent jurisdiction may provide. Nothing contained herein will be construed to limit Company’s right to any remedies at law or equity, including the recovery of damages for breach of this Agreement.

8. Compliance with Securities Laws. Employee, Company and its Affiliates agree to comply with all applicable state and federal securities laws, rules, and regulations, as may be in effect from time to time.

10. Arbitration. The Parties agree that any dispute, claim or controversy of whatever nature arising out of or relating to the negotiation, execution, performance or breach of this Agreement or any other dealings between them that cannot be amicably resolved either by informal discussion between the Parties or mutual agreement to mediate, shall be resolved solely by arbitration in proceedings conducted in Clark County, Nevada before the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Results from such proceedings shall be deemed conclusive, final and binding upon the Parties, and may be entered as the judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties shall execute all submission agreements and other documents authorizing the submission of said dispute to arbitration for a final determination and award. The arbitration panel shall be empowered to award attorney’s fees and expenses of arbitration (including expert witness fees) to the prevailing Party in any such arbitration. Furthermore, with respect to any civil action instituted for injunctive relief, the Parties hereby expressly agree to submit themselves to, and consent to the jurisdiction and venue of Nevada.

11. Indemnification. Company and its Affiliates hereby agree that it shall indemnify and hold Employee harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all losses, costs, claims, judgments and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees or lost wages due to imprisonment (“Losses”), as and when incurred by Employee.

Employee shall indemnify and hold Company (and its employees, officers, directors, advisors and agents) harmless against any Losses as a result of any material breach by Employee.

Exceptions.

a. Certain Matters. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee on account of any proceeding with respect to (i) remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it is determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law (and, in this respect, both the Company and Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission believes that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication; (ii) a final judgment rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting, disgorgement or repayment of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company against Indemnitee or in connection with a settlement by or on behalf of Indemnitee to the extent it is acknowledged by Indemnitee and the Company that such amount paid in settlement resulted from Indemnitee’s conduct from which Indemnitee received monetary personal profit, pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other provisions of any federal, state or local statute or rules and regulations thereunder; (iii) a final judgment or other final adjudication that Indemnitee’s conduct was in knowingly fraudulent or constituted willful misconduct (but only to the extent of such specific determination, and other than in connection with the operation of the Company’s cannabis business in the ordinary course); or (iv) on account of conduct that is established by a final judgment as constituting a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or resulting in any personal profit or advantage to which Indemnitee is not legally entitled. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a final judgment or other adjudication may be reached in either the underlying proceeding or action in connection with which indemnification is sought or a separate proceeding or action to establish rights and liabilities under this Agreement.

b. Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other agents and not by way of defense, except (i) with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or under any other agreement, provision in the Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, or (ii) with respect to any other proceeding initiated by Indemnitee that is either approved by the Board of Directors or in which Indemnitee’s participation is required by applicable law. However, indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors determines it to be appropriate.

c. Unauthorized Settlements. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed settlement; provided, however, that the Company may in any event decline to consent to (or to otherwise admit or agree to any liability for indemnification hereunder in respect of) any proposed settlement if the Company is also a party in such proceeding and determines in good faith that such settlement is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

d. Securities Act Liabilities. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee or otherwise act in violation of any undertaking appearing in and required by the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or in any registration statement filed with the SEC under the Act. Indemnitee acknowledges that paragraph (h) of Item 512 of Regulation S-K currently generally requires the Company to undertake in connection with any registration statement filed under the Act to submit the issue of the enforceability of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement in connection with any liability under the Act on public policy grounds to a court of appropriate jurisdiction and to be governed by any final adjudication of such issue. Indemnitee specifically agrees that any such undertaking shall supersede the provisions of this Agreement and to be bound by any such undertaking. A determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10(d) may be made by the Company upon receipt of a written opinion from Independent Counsel, a copy of which opinion shall be delivered to the Indemnitee. In the event Indemnitee disputes such opinion, Indemnitee shall in any event be entitled to seek enforcement of its rights hereunder pursuant to Section 7(c), and Indemnitee shall be indemnified in connection with costs in seeking such enforcement pursuant to Section 7(d).

12. Notices. All notices, demands and requests which may be given or which are required to be given by either Party to the other, and any exercise of a right of termination provided by this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective when either: (1) sent by certified or registered mail to the intended recipient at the address specified below; (2) deposited into the custody of a nationally recognized overnight delivery service such as FedEx, UPS. or United Stated Postal Service, addressed to such party at the address specified below; or (3) sent by facsimile, email, telegram or telex, provided that receipt for such transmission is verified by the sender. Notices shall be effective on the date of delivery or receipt. For purposes of this Paragraph, the addresses of the Parties for all notices are as follows (unless changes by similar notice in writing are given by the particular person whose address is to be changed):

13. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall supersede any and all other agreements, whether written or verbal, that may have been made or entered into by the Parties relating to the subject matters set forth herein. No waiver by a Party of any breach by the other Party of this Agreement shall be construed to be a waiver as to succeeding breaches. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified or amended in any way except in writing by the Parties. Employee may not assign its interest in or delegate the Services under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Company, its successors and assigns. If any provision or part of any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not affect the enforceability of any other provisions or parts thereof; and all other provisions and parts thereof shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
