(c)Each of the Parties also hereby acknowledge that all directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer shall be required to complete applications for licensing in all jurisdictions where the Resulting Issuer or its subsidiaries operate or intend to conduct commercial cannabis operations and that such applications will require approvals by the applicable and relevant state regulatory bodies (the “State Licensing Approvals”).  Any director or officer who fails to obtain the requisite State Licensing Approvals shall immediately be required to tender their resignation.

2.4MichiCann Options 

Each MichiCann Option held by a MichiCann optionholder that is outstanding at the Effective Time will be exchanged for an option to purchase Resulting Issuer Shares, on an equivalent basis, at an exercise price equal to the original exercise price of the MichiCann Option and each such MichiCann Option shall be cancelled.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising, and all other terms and conditions of a replacement Resulting Issuer Option, will be the same as the MichiCann Option for which it is exchanged, and any document or agreement previously evidencing a MichiCann Option shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such replacement Resulting Issuer Option.

No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement.
