The Purchase Price for the entity that has applied for a cannabis dispensary license in Goleta, California is payable according to the following schedule: US$250,000 shall be paid in cash on the date hereof, which shall be non-refundable to Captor (the “Deposit”); provided, however, in the event that the Company does not own, possess or is otherwise approved for the License on or before May 1, 2019, then the Deposit shall be refundable to Captor; US $500,000 of the Purchase Price shall be paid in cash at the closing of the sale, which will occur upon regulatory approval; and US $550,000 of the Purchase Price shall be payable in shares of the common stock of Captor, to be delivered after the 90th day following the closing of the transactions.
