Seller owns 100% of the equity interests (the “ Interests ”) of Plant-Based Deli, LLC (the “ Company ”), a California limited liability company that operates a plant-based delicatessen and convenience store (the “ Business ”) at premises located at 2524 Pacific Avenue, Venice, California 90291 (the “ Premises ”). Seller desires to sell and assign to Buyer the Interests of the Company, and Buyer desires to purchase said Interests (as a result of which Buyer will become the sole owner of the Company), all on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein, the Parties agree as follows.

At the Closing (as defined below) Seller shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer as Buyer shall reasonably request to give full effect to such transfer of the Interests.

Neither Seller nor Kenney shall, at any time following the Closing, reveal, report, publish, transfer or otherwise disclose to any person, corporation or other entity, or use for their own benefit or for the benefit of any party other than the Party that then owns such Information, any of the Information without the written consent of Buyer, except for such information which legitimately is or becomes of general public knowledge from authorized sources other than Seller or Kenney, or with respect to disclosures required to be made in order to comply with applicable laws, regulations or legal process.

  • 16 -

(b) Non-Competition. As a material inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, and in connection with Buyer’s purchase of the Interests and the acquisition of the goodwill of the Business (including the protection of the confidential and proprietary information of the Business being acquired) by Buyer, each of Seller and Kenney agrees that, for a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “ Term ”), they shall not (and in the case of Seller, shall cause its officers, directors and employees not to do any of the following in the name or on behalf of Seller), directly or indirectly:

(i) Own, control, manage, operate or consult for a plant-based delicatessen and convenience store within a ten-mile radius of the Premises;

(ii) Own, control, operate, manage or consult for a “plant-based convenience store” anywhere comparable to the Business as operated at the Closing Date; provided, however, that (1) the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to retail sections within restaurants, full-service grocery stores, produce shops, farm stands, marketplace segments of any type within food halls or quick-serve outlets with at least 50% of their products being prepared food and beverage, and (2) the foregoing restrictions shall only continue to apply to the extent that Buyer and/or its affiliates open a minimum of five new locations within one year of the Closing Date and ten locations per year thereafter, with such stores managed in whole or in meaningful part by Seller. For purposes hereof, a “plant-based convenience store” means a physical, brick and mortar convenience store with either a deli or a pre-made meal offering, selling a similar range of packaged, fresh and frozen products with a limited selection of prepared foods broadly consistent with the offering of the Business as conducted at the Closing Date;

(iii) Own or operate, or be a publicly recognized party to, a nationwide, plantbased, direct-to-consumer, meal-plan service in the United States or Canada (the “ DTC Business ”); provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions (1) shall not apply to unbranded services, (2) shall only apply to the extent the DTC Business is managed in whole or in meaningful part by Seller, (3) shall remain in operation for the term of the Consulting Agreement (the “ Consulting Agreement ”) dated April 12, 2021 by and between Seller and PlantX Living Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia (“ PlantX Living ”), if such term exceeds the Term, and (4) shall terminate if Parent (or any Parent affiliate responsible therefor) determines not to continue funding the expansion of the DTC Business in accordance with an expansion plan mutually and in good faith agreed between Parent (or such affiliate) and Seller;

(iv) Subject to the proviso set forth below, solicit or attempt to solicit or divert away business of any customers of the Company for products or services the same or similar to those offered or sold by the Company made known to the Seller and Kenney during his or its affiliation with the Seller’s Business;

(v) Solicit or attempt to solicit for any business endeavor any employee of the Company; or

(vi) Render any services as an officer, director, employee, partner, consultant or otherwise to, or have any interest as a stockholder, partner, lender or otherwise in, any

  • 17 -

person which is engaged in activities which, if performed by Seller, would violate this Section 7(b);

provided, however, that (1) none of the foregoing shall restrict Seller or Kenney from general advertising and solicitation of the products and services generally sold and to be sold by Seller and its other affiliates (none of which advertising or solicitation shall in any way disparage Buyer, the Company or their respective products or services), and (2) if the Consulting Agreement is terminated by PlantX Living for convenience or by Seller for cause, the restrictions set forth in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) would likewise terminate; provided, however that such termination would not affect the validity of (x) Seller’s and Kenney’s obligation under Section 7(b)(i) or (y) any noncompete terms mutually agreed between the Parties with respect to any other location.

(c) Equitable Relief. Because Buyer may not have an adequate remedy at law to protect its interest in its trade secrets, Information and similar commercial assets, or to protect its business from competition by Seller in violation of Section 7(b), Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to such other remedies and relief that would be available to it, in the event of a breach of the provisions of Section 7(a) or 7(b).

(d) Acknowledgement. Kenney acknowledges that (i) Kenney is a key service provider to the Company; (ii) the goodwill associated with the existing Business, customers and assets of the Company prior to the Closing is an integral component of the value of the Company to Buyer and is reflected in the consideration payable to Seller in connection with the Closing, and (iii) Kenney’s agreement as set forth in this Section 7 is necessary to preserve the value of the Company for Buyer following the Closing. Kenney agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 7, including but not limited to the time period, geographic limitations, and scope of activity are reasonable for the protection of Buyer’s legitimate business interests.

(e) Term and Severability of Covenants. If Kenney breaches any covenant set forth in Section 7(b), the term of such covenant shall be extended by the period of the duration of such breach. The covenants contained in Section 7(b) hereof shall be construed as a series of separate covenants. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), Buyer and Kenney agree that such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. If the provisions of Section 7(a) or 7(b) are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, Buyer and Kenney agree that such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable law.

8. Indemnities; Survival.

(a) Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and the Company from and against any losses, Claims, damages, judgments, settlements or liabilities (collectively, “ Losses ”) that Buyer or the Company may incur, to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from:

  • 18 -

(ii) the non-performance of any covenant made herein or in the Transaction Agreements by Seller; or

(iii) any of the liabilities not assumed by Buyer;

and shall reimburse Buyer or the Company for any reasonable legal or other expenses (“ Expenses ”) incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against any such Losses.

(iii) the operation of the Business of the Company from and after the Closing Date;

and shall reimburse Seller for any reasonable Expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against any such Losses.

(c) Procedures.

(i) Promptly after receipt by a Party (the “ Indemnified Party ”) of notice of a Loss or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding (a “ Proceeding ”) against which it believes it is indemnified under this Section 8, the Indemnified Party shall so notify the Party or Parties obligated to provide such indemnification (the “ Indemnifying Party ”); provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall only relieve it from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party confirms in writing that indemnity under this Section 8 is due, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the legal defense of a Proceeding at its own expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel in any Proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and Expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (A) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or (C) the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party.

(iii) An Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, unless such settlement,

  • 19 -

compromise or consent: (1) requires no action and imposes no restriction on the part of the Indemnified Party and (2) does not require any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party.

(d) Survival.

(i) The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is 18 months from the Closing Date; provided that the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 2(a), (d) and (t) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations plus ninety (90) days.

(ii) The covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for any shorter period explicitly specified herein or therein.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any breach of a representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to clause (i) above if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the Party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time.

(e) Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Sections 8(a)(i) and 8(b)(i) shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) shall not exceed an amount equal to US$314,000 (the “ Indemnity Cap ”); provided that the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable that result from a breach of the representation and warranties set forth in Section 2(a), (b), (c), (d) and (t) shall be up to but shall not exceed US$1,569,999.00;

(ii) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to Section 8(b)(i) shall not exceed the Indemnity Cap;

(iii) No Party shall have any liability under Section 8(a)(i) or Section 8(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses so incurred exceeds US$20,000 and, in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay the entire amount of all such Losses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth above shall not apply to any Claims with respect to fraud.

(f) Means of Recovery.

(i) Buyer shall be entitled in its sole discretion to satisfy any Claims for indemnification or reimbursement by any one or more of the following, in Buyer’s sole discretion: (i) by requiring direct cash payment from Seller, (ii) by setoff against any amounts otherwise payable hereunder, or (iii) by purchasing Consideration Shares by way

  • 20 -

of setoff in lieu of releasing them from escrow pursuant to (and only if permitted by) Section 8(g).

(ii) For purposes of determining the amount of Losses arising from a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Buyer or Seller in this Agreement, limitations or qualifications as to dollar amount, knowledge or materiality (or, in each case, any similar concept) set forth in such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation shall be disregarded.

(g) Set Off; Purchase of Consideration Shares. If the amount of Losses claimed by Buyer exceeds US$150,000 and any Consideration Shares remain in escrow that have not yet been released to Buyer on the dates set forth in, and as required by, Section 1(b)(ii), then Buyer (at its option, and without limitation of its other remedies hereunder) may, in satisfaction of Seller’s obligation to indemnify or reimburse Buyer pursuant to, and subject to the other terms and conditions of, this Section 8, purchase Consideration Shares from Seller at a price equal to the issue price of such Consideration Shares and pay the purchase price therefor by way of set-off, in lieu of releasing or causing to be released such Consideration Shares to Seller from escrow. To the extent Buyer’s actual Losses as finally adjudicated in accordance with this Agreement differ from the value (derived as provided above) of the Consideration Shares not released from escrow, then (x) Seller shall promptly pay (in cash, and subject to the other limitations set forth in Section 8(e)) to Buyer any shortfall and (y) Buyer shall promptly pay (in cash) to Seller any overage.

(h) 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 6(a) or (b), as the case may be.

(i) Exclusive Remedies. Other than the right of Seller to seek injunctive relief as contemplated by Section 7(c) or to bring a Claim against Kenney for monetary damages for a breach of his obligations under Section 7, and other than the right of either Party to bring a Claim against the other Party for fraud, the indemnity provisions of this Section 8 are the exclusive remedy of the Parties for any Losses, liabilities or causes of action relating to this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements.

(j) Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any payment made to an Indemnified Party under this Section 8, including any payments satisfied by way of set-off pursuant to this Section 8, will constitute a decrease or an increase to the Purchase Price, as applicable.
