Article 3
PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT

 

3.1         Purchase Price; Payment.

 

As consideration for the Asset Purchase (the consideration listed in Sections 3.1(a)-(d) shall be considered the “Purchase Price”):

 

(a)

Buyer shall cause and RGNP agrees to issue an aggregate of Seven Million (7,000,000) Common Shares, which shall be satisfied in the following amounts:

 

 

(i)

6,000,000 Common Shares to CCI, or such Persons that CCI designates;

 

(ii)

1,000,000 Common Shares to ASKCO, which shall be considered consideration for the release of a debt owed to ASKCO by CCI;

 

(b)

RGNP shall make a cash payment of $500,000 to CCI, or a Person designated by CCI, upon RGNP completing a capital raise in a minimum amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) during the 2017 or 2018 calendar years.

 

(c)

Earn out. CCI shall receive Twenty Percent (20%) of gross profit (after cost of goods sold and direct sales, IT/web costs, marketing costs and the De Vries consulting fees are deducted from gross profit) of all sales of CCI and RGNP products sold via CCI sales channels for the 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 calendar years. The direct sales, marketing and IT/web costs and the De Vries consulting fees shall be capped at thirty percent (30%) of quarterly gross revenue generated from the sales of CCI and RGNP products sold via CCI sales channels. The CCI sales channels shall be defined as the CCI and Lebloc websites, existing wholesale relationships supported by a QuickBooks printout, and current international distributor agreements and international distribution agreements already in negotiation or anticipated to be executed within six months from Closing. CCI shall also receive Twenty Percent (20%) of gross profit (after cost of goods sold and direct sales, IT/web costs, marketing costs and the De Vries consulting fees are deducted from gross profit) for new business concept sales sold via CCI sales channels. The direct sales, marketing and IT/web costs and De Vries consulting fees shall be capped at thirty percent (30%) of quarterly gross revenue generated from new business concept sales sold via CCI sales channels. There shall be no minimum amount required to be paid to CCI, and RGNP makes no representations or warranties on any dollar amount for the 20% earn out payments. If the Purchased Assets are sold by Buyer or RGNP prior to December 31, 2020, all unpaid earn out amounts will be paid to CCI. Each quarterly earn out payment shall be made within seven (7) days of RGNP filings its Form 10-Q for such quarter. Prior to Closing, and as a condition to Closing, there must be an executed agreement between CCI and ASKCO for the distribution and payout of the earn out payments. Schedule 3.1(c) reflects various samples of the calculation of the Earn Out. If RGNP or Buyer are not able to pay an earn out payment or multiple earn out payments at the time each such payment is due, CCI may choose to 1) accrue the missed payment to be included with the next required earn out payment, or 2) convert the missed earn out payment into a convertible promissory note, or 3) convert the missed earn out payment into shares of RGNP common stock at the average of the five closing prices prior to the date on which the missed payment was due.

  

(d)

Each of CCI, Buyer and FD9 agree that this transaction is intended to qualify under Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code as a tax free transaction, and each Party agrees to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably requested by another Party to effectuate such intent

 

3.2         Consulting Agreement. As part of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer shall execute a consulting agreement with De Vries. Such consulting agreement shall have an initial term of three years, and De Vries shall have the title of “Founder” of the CCI business.

 

3.3         Location and Time of the Closing.

 

The Closing shall take place electronically at 11:59 p.m., EST, on the Closing Date, or such other time on the Closing Date as may be agreed upon in writing between Buyer and CCI (the "Closing Time").

 

 

3.4         Allocation of Purchase Price.

 

Each of CCI, Buyer and FD9 in filing their respective Tax Returns, shall allocate the Purchase Price, among the Purchased Assets in a manner consistent with the methodology set forth in Exhibit B. CCI Buyer and FD9 agree that the values so attributed to the Purchased Assets are the respective fair market values thereof, and each Party shall file in mutually agreeable form all returns and elections required or desirable under Applicable Laws in a manner consistent with the foregoing allocations.

 

3.5         Right of First Refusal. If RGNP or Buyer shall choose to sell any Assets related to the CCI Business, including the Purchased Assets, and/or should discontinue the operation of the CCI Business, CCI and FD9 shall have a first right of refusal to purchase such Assets from Buyer at fair market value. CCI shall have a period of thirty days to elect to purchase the Assets related to the CCI Business, including the Purchased Assets. If CCI or FD9 do not exercise its right to purchase such Assets during the thirty day notice period, Buyer and/or RGNP shall have the right to sell such Assets.

 

3.6         Withholding Taxes.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Buyer and RGNP, as applicable, shall have the right to deduct and withhold Taxes from any payment to be made under this Agreement and any Transaction Documents if such withholding is required by any Applicable Laws and to collect all necessary Tax forms from CCI.

For the purpose of such investigation, either the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party or the applicable Seller Indemnified Party (each an "Indemnified Party") shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its representatives the information relied upon by Indemnified Party to substantiate the Direct Claim. If Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period (or any extension thereof agreed upon by the parties) as to the validity and amount of the Direct Claim, Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall execute a settlement agreement and Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the Direct Claim, and the terms of Section 10.1 shall apply in respect of such payment. If such parties do not agree within such period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof), the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party agree that the dispute shall be submitted to the dispute resolution procedures under Section 12.4.

 

 

(b)

Third Party Claims.

 

(i)

With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of the Indemnified Party's out-of-pocket expenses as a result of such participation or assumption. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim at its own expense and shall have the right to disagree on reasonable grounds with the selection and retention of legal counsel, in which case legal counsel satisfactory to both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be retained by the Indemnifying Party.

 

(ii)

If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume control as contemplated in Section 11.5(b)(i), thereafter fails to defend such Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

 

(iii)

In the event that any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by Applicable Laws to make a payment to any Third Party with respect to such Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Party may make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse the Indemnified Party for any such payment. If the amount of any liability under the Third Party Claim in respect of which such a payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay such difference to the Indemnifying Party.

 

(iv)

Except in the circumstances contemplated by Section  11.5(b)(ii), whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not negotiate, settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim except with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld).

 

(v)

The Indemnified Party shall not permit any right of appeal in respect of any Third Party Claim to terminate without giving the Indemnifying Party notice thereof and an opportunity to contest such Third Party Claim.

 

 

(vi)

The Parties shall cooperate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available) and shall each designate a senior officer who will keep himself/herself informed about and be prepared to discuss the Third Party Claim with his or her counterpart and with legal counsel at all reasonable times.

 

(vii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless the settlement includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim and does not include any admission of guilt or fault on the part of the Indemnified Party.

 

11.6         Subrogation.

 

In the event that an Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon fulfillment of its obligations with respect to indemnification (including payment in full of all amounts due pursuant to its indemnification obligations) be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to the claims to which such indemnification relates.

 

11.7         Limitations on Indemnification.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding:

 

(a)

Limitations on CCI's and the CCI Management' Liability for Indemnification. CCI and the CCI Management shall be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party for any Loss arising in respect of Claims for breaches or representations and warranties pursuant Section 10.1(a); provided, that, the aggregate indemnification Liability to be paid by CCI and the CCI Management under Section 11.1(a) shall be $750,000 (the "Seller Cap"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Cap shall not apply to, or otherwise reduce or limit a Claim for:

 

(i)

for a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 (Incorporation and Authority), 4.2 (Power and Capacity), 4.3 (Conflicts; Consents), 4.6 (Properties and Assets), 4.8 (Consents and Approvals), 4.9 (Licenses, Permits, Orders and Authorizations), 4.12 (Tax Matters), 4.13 (Litigation); 4.25 (Intellectual Property) and 4.30 (Environmental Matters);

 

(ii)

for a breach of any of the CCI IP Assignment Agreements; or

 

(iii)

any lawsuit or loss or action involving Buyer related to the lien on the Purchased Assets or any liabilities of CCI.

 

(iv)

any Loss caused by fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of CCI or any CCI Shareholder.

 

(b)

Limitations on Buyer's Liability for Indemnification. Buyer shall be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party for any Loss arising in respect of Claims for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 10.2(a).

 

 

(c)

Limitations on RGNP's Liability for Indemnification. RGNP shall be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party for any Loss arising in respect of Claims for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 10.3(a).

 

11.8         Exclusive Remedy.

 

The rights of indemnity set forth in this Article 10 are the sole and exclusive remedy of each Party in respect of any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach of covenant by the other Party hereunder. Accordingly, each Party waives, from and after the Closing Time, any and all rights, remedies and claims that such Party may have against the other, whether at law, under any statute or in equity (including but not limited to claims for breach of contract, breach of representation and warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all claim for breach of duty), or otherwise, directly or indirectly, relating to the provisions of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or the Transaction Documents other than as expressly provided for in this Article 10 and other than those arising from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Parties agree that if a Claim is made by one Party in accordance with Section 10.1 or 10.2, as the case may be, and there has been a refusal by the other Party to make payment or otherwise provide satisfaction in respect of such Claim, then a Proceeding in accordance with Section 12.4 is an appropriate means to seek a remedy for such refusal. This Article shall remain in full force and effect in all circumstances and shall not be terminated by a breach (fundamental, negligent or otherwise) by any part of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder or under any documents delivered pursuant hereto or by any termination or rescission of this Agreement by any Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a breach of Article 11 or a breach by CCI of any CCI IP Assignment Agreement to which it is a party, the aggrieved party shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief and for avoidance of doubt, the Seller Cap shall not apply in the event of a breach of Article 11 or any CCI IP Assignment Agreement to which it is a party.

 

11.9         Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

 

To the extent that they have not been fully performed at or prior to the Closing Time, the representations and warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and in all certificates and documents delivered pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement shall terminate at the expiration of 18 months following the Closing, except the representations and warranties contained in:

 

(a)

Sections 5.1 (Incorporation and Authority), 5.2 (Power and Capacity), 5.3 (Conflicts; Consents), 5.6 (Properties and Assets), 5.7 (Compliance with Laws), 5.8 Consents and Approvals), 5.9 (Licenses, Permits, Orders and Authorizations), 5.13 (Litigation); 5.25 (Intellectual Property) and 5.30 (Environmental Matters);

 

(b)

Sections 6.1 (Incorporation and Authority), 6.2 (Power and Capacity) and 6.3 (Conflicts; Consents);

 

(c)

Sections 7.1 (Incorporation and Authority), 7.2 (Power and Capacity), 7.3 (Conflicts; Consents);

 

(d)

Section 5.12 (Tax Matters) in respect of any Taxes arising in or in respect of a period shall terminate on the date which is the day after the relevant Governmental Authority is no longer entitled to assess or reassess liability for Taxes (other than interest on any Tax owing) against CCI, as the case may be, for that period, having regard, without limitation, to any waivers given by CCI in respect of such period, except to the extent that any misrepresentation has been made or any fraud has been committed by CCI in filing a Tax Return or in supplying information for the purposes of any Applicable Law imposing Tax on CCI; and

 

 

(e)

Section 7.6 (Tax Matters) in respect of any Taxes arising in or in respect of a period shall terminate on the date which is the day after the relevant Governmental Authority is no longer entitled to assess or reassess liability for Taxes (other than interest on any Tax owing) against FD9, as the case may be, for that period, having regard, without limitation, to any waivers given by FD9 in respect of such period, except to the extent that any misrepresentation has been made or any fraud has been committed by FD9 in filing a Tax Return or in supplying information for the purposes of any Applicable Law imposing Tax on FD9.

 

The period of time a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement survives the Closing pursuant to this Section 11.9 shall be the "Survival Period" with respect to such representation, warranty, claim or agreement. So long as a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, gives notice of a Claim on or before the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue its rights to indemnification under Section 11.1 of the Agreement and a Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue its rights to indemnification under Section 11.2 and 11.3 of the Agreement. In the event notice of any Claim under Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 the Agreement shall have been given within the applicable Survival Period and such Claim has not been finally resolved by the expiration of such Survival Period, the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements that are the subject of such Claim shall survive the end of the Survival Period of such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements until such Claim is finally resolved, but such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall only survive with respect to such asserted Claim. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not adversely affect the right to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations.

(a)

All disputes, controversies or claims arising out of, relating to, or in respect of this Agreement, including any issue regarding its existence, validity, enforceability, interpretation, breach or termination (each a "Dispute") shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Any Dispute that Buyer, FD9 or CCI are unable to amicably resolve or settle between themselves through negotiations between senior executives of the relevant Party within fifteen (15) Business Days (or such longer period as the applicable parties may agree to in writing) of a party being provided notice of such Dispute or difference in accordance with Section 12.2 of this Agreement (the "Consultation Period") shall be referred to and finally determined by final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be confidential and shall be settled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the "Arbitrator").

The arbitration shall be governed by the Rules of the American Arbitration Association to the extent that such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section 12.4.

(e)

Within thirty (30) days of the expiry of the Consultation Period, the disputing parties agree to jointly select the Arbitrator who shall be trained in the laws of California. The Arbitrator shall be impartial and independent of the Parties and shall be experienced and knowledgeable about the subject matter of the Dispute (generally and not as to the express facts concerning the Dispute). If the disputing Parties are unable to agree upon the Arbitrator, any such disputing Parties may apply to elect an Arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of the Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

 

(f)

It is specifically acknowledged and agreed that any Dispute that cannot be resolved between the disputing Parties prior the expiry of the Consultation Period shall be submitted to arbitration irrespective of the magnitude thereof or the amount in question.

 

(g)

The Arbitrator shall have jurisdiction: (i) to apply all applicable statutes, regulations, common law and equity; and (ii) to make an award or awards in respect of interest and the payment of the costs of the arbitration (including arbitrators' fees and the legal costs of the Parties). The Arbitrator also may, where requested by a Party, determine the nature and extent of production of documents and oral depositions.

 

(h)

The award of the Arbitrator shall be reduced to writing and be final and binding on the disputing Parties.
