ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Buyer and the Seller Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by either Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes related to the Purchased Assets.

The Seller Parties agree (a) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters and pertinent to the Purchased Assets relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer, any extensions thereof) for the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (b) to give Buyer reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or
discarding any such books and records and, if Buyer so requests, the Seller Parties shall allow Buyer to take possession of such books and records.
6.2Press Releases and Announcements. At and prior to the Closing Date, no press releases related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, or other announcements to the employees, customers or suppliers of the Seller Parties shall be issued without the mutual approval of the Parties, except for any public disclosure which is required by law or regulation.
6.3Further Transfers. The Seller Parties shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional action as Buyer may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and any other transactions contemplated hereby. The Seller Parties will execute such documents as may be necessary to assist Buyer in preserving or perfecting its rights in the Purchased Assets. Buyer will execute and deliver such further instruments and take such additional actions as the Seller Parties may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities.
6.4Specific Performance. The Parties each acknowledge that the Purchased Assets are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by such party, money damages may be inadequate and Buyer or the Seller Parties, as applicable, may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Buyer and the Seller Parties agree that the other Party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce their rights and the obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief.

6.6Confidentiality.
(a)Confidentiality. Each Party hereto agrees that such Party: (i) shall protect and safeguard the confidentiality of all such Confidential Information of the other Parties with at least the same degree of care as such Party would protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care; (ii) shall not disclose or use such Confidential Information to the detriment of the other Parties; and (iii) if there is a discovery that any Confidential Information has been used, disseminated or published in violation of this Agreement, promptly notify the other Parties, take commercially reasonable actions available to minimize the impact of the use, dissemination or publication and take commercially reasonable steps to prevent any further breach of the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the obligations of confidentiality provided for in this Section 6.6 shall continue to apply in full force and effect in accordance with its terms following the Closing.
(b)Remedy for Breach. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach by another Party of any of the provisions of this Section 6.6, monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, the non-breaching Party and/or its respective successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages and the other Parties each waive any defense in any such action that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(c)Enforcement. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 6.6 is invalid or unenforceable, each Party agrees that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.
(d)Acknowledgment. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the restrictions contained in this Section 6.6 are reasonable in all respects (including with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area) and are necessary to protect the other Party’s interests, and (ii) each Party would not have consummated the transactions contemplated hereby without the restrictions contained in this Section 6.6.

After Closing, upon reasonable notification from Buyer, the Seller Parties shall make available to Buyer and its representatives reasonable access to the books and records of the Seller Parties with respect to the transfer of the Purchased Assets and the related obligations of the Seller Parties after the Closing, including but not limited to, any records or actions reasonably requested by Buyer to assist Buyer calculating the credits and debits to the Purchased Inventory.
6.8Insurance. The Parties agree that insurance coverage applicable to the Purchased Assets for periods prior to Closing is maintained by the Seller Parties and, except as otherwise set forth herein, the insurance policies governing the Purchased Assets are not being transferred to Buyer at Closing.

If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. In addition, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that any purchase price adjustments as a result of the application of any provision of this Agreement or any other of the Transaction Documents do not prejudice or limit in any respect whatsoever any Party’s rights to indemnification under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or pursuant to any other applicable requirement of law.

This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules identified herein) and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or
representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof and thereof in any way, including the Letter of Intent, dated March 22, 2024, signed by the Parties. Notwithstanding any oral agreement or course of conduct of the Parties or their representatives to the contrary, no Party to this Agreement shall be under any legal obligation to enter into or complete the transactions contemplated hereby unless and until this Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by each of the Parties.

All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada.

any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder.

Interest shall accrue on the Loan on the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on the Loan for the day on which it is paid.
4.5Interest Rate Limitation. If at any time and for any reason whatsoever, the interest rate payable on the Loan shall exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by Lender to Borrower under applicable Law, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable Law shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal.
5.Payment Mechanics.
5.1Manner of Payments. All payments of interest and principal shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America no later than 5:00 PM (Tustin, California time) on the date on which such payment is due by cashier’s check, certified check, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Lender’s account at a bank specified by Lender in writing to Borrower from time to time.
5.2Application of Payments. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Note or in the Loan Agreement, all payments made under this Note shall be applied first to the payment of any fees or charges outstanding hereunder, second to accrued interest, and third to the payment of the principal amount outstanding under this Note. Unless otherwise determined by Lender, any payments toward the principal amount outstanding under this Note shall be first applied toward the portion of the principal amount outstanding represented by the Advances (i.e., $1,321,010.73) and then applied pro rata toward the portion of the principal amount outstanding represented by deferred amounts owed and due to Organicix (i.e., $441,489.27) and Eyce (i.e., $437,500.00).
5.3Business Day Convention. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension will be taken into account in calculating the amount of interest payable under this Note.
5.4Rescission of Payments. If at any time any payment made by Borrower under this Note is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had not been made.
5.5Mandatory Repayments.
(a)In the event of a sale, licensing or other similar transaction involving solely Intellectual Property (such transaction, an “IP Transaction”), where such IP Transaction requires the prior written consent of Lender and the release of Lender’s first priority lien thereon, seventy-five percent (75%) of the Net Proceeds from such IP Transaction shall be paid to Lender directly from the closing of the IP Transaction, and such payment will be treated as a payment of the Loan, such that the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loan will be reduced by the amount of such payment to Lender.
(b)In the event of any financing, business combination or similar transaction (such transaction, a “Material Transaction”), the Net Proceeds from such Material Transaction shall be payable to Lender as follows:
(i)Twenty percent (20%) of the Net Proceeds from the Material Transaction shall be paid to Lender directly from the closing of such Material Transaction, and such payment will be treated as a payment of the Loan, such that the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Loan will be reduced by the amount of such payment to Lender; and
(ii)An amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Net Proceeds from any Material Transaction shall be paid to Lender weekly until the Maturity Date, and the amount of such weekly payments shall be applied first to any accrued and unpaid interest then to the outstanding principal, where additional IP Transactions or Material Transactions shall be aggregated for the purposes of calculating the amount of the weekly payments.
(c)In addition to mandatory repayments set forth in subsection (e) above, in the event of any IP Transaction or any Material Transaction, the Net Proceeds therefrom shall be payable and applied toward the Transaction Expense, the outstanding amounts owed to DID
and Tai Young in the aggregate amount of approximately $270,000.00 (the “Vendor Expense”) and the Interest Expense, in such order, as follows:
(i)for such aggregate Net Proceeds received up to $1,000,000.00, seven percent (7%) of such aggregate Net Proceeds shall be payable and applied as described above;
(ii)for such aggregate Net Proceeds received in excess of $1,000,000 and up to $2,000,000.00, twelve percent (12%) of such aggregate Net Proceeds shall be payable and applied as described above; and
(iii)for such aggregate Net Proceeds received in excess of $2,000,000.00, twenty-two percent (22%) of such aggregate Net Proceeds shall be payable and applied as described above until such Interest Expense, such Vendor Expense and such Transaction Expense are paid in full.
(d)In the event that a payment is made to Lender pursuant to either subsection (a), subsection (b) or subsection (c) above and such payment results in the reduction of the outstanding and unpaid principal of the Loan to less than Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000.00), the entire remaining outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Loan shall be immediately due and payable with such payment.
6.Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Conditions. All of the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein.

7.Events of Default. The occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, Lender may thereupon by written notice to Borrower (a) declare the entire principal amount of the Loan, together with all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Note, immediately due and payable; and/or (b) exercise any or all of its rights, powers or remedies under any of the Loan Documents or applicable Law; provided, however, that if an Event of Default described in Section 12(a)(v) of the Loan Agreement shall occur, the principal of and accrued interest on the Loan shall become immediately due and payable without any notice, declaration, or other act on the part of Lender.
