Amendment No. 3 to the True Harvest Asset Purchase Agreement

 

On December 31, 2021, in connection with the closing of its previously announced acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of True Harvest, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“True Harvest”) by True Harvest Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary (“TH Buyer”) of The Greenrose Holding Company Inc. (“Greenrose” or the “Company”), the Company, TH Buyer and True Harvest entered into a third amendment (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 12, 2021 (as amended from time to time, the “True Harvest Asset Purchase Agreement”). The acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of True Harvest was completed on December 31, 2021 and is referred to as the “True Harvest Acquisition”.

 

Pursuant to the True Harvest Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company paid aggregate consideration of $57.6 million at closing, consisting of:

 

$12.5 million in cash;

 

$23.0 million in the form of a convertible note, of which all principal and interest is payable in shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) at a conversion price of $10.00 per share or, at the holder’s election, cash;

 

$4.6 million in assumed debt evidenced by three (3) promissory notes in favor of existing creditors of True Harvest; and

 

$17.5 million in shares of Common Stock valued at $3.95 per share.

 

Pursuant to an Amended Earnout Payment Agreement entered into by the Company, TH Buyer and True Harvest simultaneously with the entry into Amendment No. 3, contingent upon True Harvest achieving a certain price point per pound of cannabis flower relative to total flower production within 36 months following the close of the acquisition, Greenrose will pay additional consideration of up to $35.0 million in the form of an earnout, payable in shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company financed the True Harvest Acquisition using the proceeds of the Company’s delayed draw commitment from the Company’s existing lenders (collectively the “Lenders”) of Seventeen Million Dollars ($17,000,000) (the “Delayed Draw Commitment”).

 

The Common Stock issued to True Harvest as a portion of the consideration for the True Harvest Acquisition was issued in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 3 to the True Harvest Asset Purchase Agreement and the Amended Earnout Payment Agreement are not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of Amendment No. 3 to the True Harvest Asset Purchase Agreement (including the exhibits thereto), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

True Harvest Registration Rights Agreement

 

On December 31, 2021, in connection with the closing of the True Harvest Acquisition, Greenrose entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “True Harvest Registration Rights Agreement”) with True Harvest, as holder, pursuant to which Greenrose agreed that, at the request of True Harvest, Greenrose will file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued as part of the consideration in the True Harvest Acquisition, and Greenrose will use its reasonable best efforts to have the resale registration statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Additionally, True Harvest is entitled to piggyback registration rights.

Convertible Promissory Note

 

Also on December 31, 2021, TH Buyer entered into a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Promissory Note”) with True Harvest, as lender, in aggregate principal amount of $23 million, representing a portion of the consideration paid to True Harvest in the True Harvest Acquisition. The Convertible Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and matures on December 31, 2024. Obligations under the Convertible Promissory Note are guaranteed by Greenrose. All amounts of principal and interest may be paid in shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to $10.00, subject to adjustment, or, at the holder’s election, in cash.

 

The foregoing description of the Convertible Promissory Note is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Form of Convertible Promissory Note, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to the Amendment No. 3 to the Asset Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Unsecured Promissory Notes

 

Also on December 31, 2021, TH Buyer entered into three (3) unsecured promissory notes (the “Unsecured Promissory Notes”) with certain existing creditors of True Harvest in aggregate amount of $4.6 million, representing the assumption of certain liabilities of True Harvest in connection with the True Harvest Acquisition.

 

The Unsecured Promissory Notes accrue interest on all outstanding principal amounts at a rate of twelve percent (12.0%) per annum. The Unsecured Promissory Notes are payable in twenty-four (24) equal consecutive monthly payments beginning on January 15, 2022 until January 15, 2024. On January 15, 2024, all amounts then outstanding including principal, accrued but unpaid interest and fees, if any, shall be due. The lenders under the Unsecured Promissory Notes may choose to accelerate all amounts (including principal, accrued but unpaid interest and fees, if any) upon the occurrence and continuation of specified events of default, provided that all payments on account of the principal amount of the Unsecured Promissory Notes, together with all accrued interest thereon, are subject, subordinate and junior, in right of payment and exercise of remedies, to the Company’s senior secured debt.

 

The foregoing description of the Unsecured Promissory Notes is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Form of Unsecured Promissory Notes, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to the Amendment No. 3 to the Asset Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement

 

On December 31, 2021, immediately prior to the closing of the True Harvest Acquisition, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement”) with DXR Finance, LLC (the “Agent”), and the Lenders. In connection with Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Agent on the delayed draw funding date a Warrant (“Warrant No. 2”) representing 550,000 nonvoting shares of Common Stock. Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement also provided for certain technical amendments to the Credit Agreement to facilitate the True Harvest Acquisition, including, but not limited to, permitting the Convertible Promissory Note, the Unsecured Promissory Notes, and the Amended Earnout Payment Agreement.

 

The Company drew Seventeen Million Dollars ($17,000,000) from the Delayed Draw Commitment to finance the True Harvest Acquisition. The loan matures on November 26, 2024 and bears an interest rate of the LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 16% per annum, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.0%, provided that for the first 12 months after the Closing Date, interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum may be payable-in-kind and thereafter interest at the rate of 5% per annum may be payable in kind. Interest is payable on the last business day of each quarter.

The Delayed Draw resulted in an incremental 550,000 warrants on the same terms and conditions issued to the lender for a total of 2,550,000 issued, with a modification to the Floor Amount for any cash election made, and providing at least one (1) business day prior notice to the Agent to exercise the Delayed Draw Commitment.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Warrant No. 1, the Agent may elect to receive cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock, then such cash payment would be subject to a floor amount (the “Floor Amount”). The “Floor Amount” means:

(b) Default Interest. If any amount payable hereunder is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus four percent (4%) (the “Default Rate”).

 

(c) Computation of Interest. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 365/366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall begin to accrue on the Loan on the date of this Note. On any portion of the Loan that is repaid, interest shall not accrue on the date on which such payment is made.

 

(d) Interest Rate Limitation. If at any time the interest rate payable on the Loan shall exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law, such interest rate shall be reduced automatically to the maximum rate permitted.

 

24

 

 

3. Payment Mechanics.

 

(a) Manner of Payment. All payments of principal and interest shall be made in US dollars no later than 12:00 PM on the date on which such payment is due. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Noteholder’s account at a bank specified by the Noteholder in writing to the Borrower from time to time.

 

(b) Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied, first, to fees or charges outstanding under this Note, second, to accrued interest, and, third, to principal outstanding under this Note.

(d) Evidence of Debt. The Borrower authorizes the Noteholder to record on the grid attached as Exhibit A the Loan made to the Borrower and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of the Loan. The entries made by the Noteholder shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amount of the obligations of the Borrower recorded therein in the absence of manifest error. No failure to make any such record, nor any errors in making any such records, shall affect the validity of the Borrower's obligation to repay the unpaid principal of the Loan with interest in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

4. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Noteholder as follows:

 

(a) Existence. The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization. The Borrower has the requisite power and authority to own, lease, and operate its property, and to carry on its business.

The Borrower has duly executed and delivered this Note.

 

25

 

 

5. Events of Default. The occurrence and continuance of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:

 

(a) Failure to Pay. The Borrower fails to pay (i) any principal amount of the Loan when due; (ii) any interest on the Loan within five (5) days after the date such amount is due; or (iii) any other amount due hereunder within ten (10) days after such amount is due.

 

(b) Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty made by the Borrower to the Noteholder herein contains an untrue or misleading statement of a material fact as of the date made; provided, however, no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to this Section 5(b) if, within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Borrower receives notice (from any source) of such untrue or misleading statement, Borrower shall have addressed the adverse effects of such untrue or misleading statement to the reasonable satisfaction of the Noteholder.

 

(c) Bankruptcy; Insolvency.

 

(i) The Borrower institutes a voluntary case seeking relief under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other relief for debtors.

(iv) The Borrower is unable, or admits in writing its inability, to pay its debts as they become due.

6. Notice of Event of Default. As soon as possible after it becomes aware that an Event of Default has occurred, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, the Borrower shall notify the Noteholder in writing of the nature and extent of such Event of Default and the action, if any, it has taken or proposes to take with respect to such Event of Default.

 

7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Noteholder may, at its option, by written notice to the Borrower declare the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts payable hereunder immediately due and payable; provided, however, if an Event of Default described in Sections 5(c)(i), 5(c)(iii), or 5(c)(iv) shall occur, the outstanding principal amount, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder shall become immediately due and payable without notice, declaration, or other act on the part of the Noteholder.

 

26

 

 

8. Expenses. The Borrower shall reimburse the Noteholder on demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and fees, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, incurred by the Noteholder in connection with the negotiation, documentation, and execution of this Note and the enforcement of the Noteholder’s rights hereunder.

Exhibit 4.1

 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of December 31, 2021 among The Greenrose Holding Company Inc.., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), each of the individuals listed on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Holders”), and each other Person who executes a Joinder as an “Other Holder” (collectively, the “Other Holders”). Except as otherwise specified herein, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A attached hereto. Capitalized but undefined terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

 

WHEREAS, the Company is a party to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Asset Purchase Agreement,” dated as of March 12, 2021, as amended by Amendment 1 thereto dated July 2, 2021, as further amended by Amendment 2 thereto dated October 28, 2021, as further amended by Amendment 3 thereto dated December 31, 2021) by and among the Company, True Harvest Holdings, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), and True Harvest, LLC (“True Harvest”), pursuant to which, inter alia, Acquisition Sub will acquire the assets of, and assume certain liabilities of True Harvest (the “Acquisition”);

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company will issue the Holders shares of the Company’s Common Stock as further set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to provide the Holders with registration rights with respect to their shares of the Company’s Common Stock as set forth in this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

 

Section 1 Demand Registrations.

 

(a) Requests for Registration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Majority Holders may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration (“Long-Form Registrations”) or on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration (“Short-Form Registrations“), if available (any such requested registration, a “Demand Registration”). Each request for a Demand Registration must specify the approximate number or dollar value of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the requesting Holders and (if known) the intended method of distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that immediately upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Majority Holders will be deemed to have requested registration of all of their Registrable Securities for resale on Form S-1 (such registration, the “Pending Registration”). The Company agrees that it will undertake to use commercially reasonable efforts to file such a Form S-1 Registration Statement, which will allow for True Harvest to sell its shares through public or private transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, on or before January 12, 2022.

 

(b) Notice to Other Holders. Within ten (10) days after receipt of any such request, the Company will give written notice of the Demand Registration to all other Holders and, subject to the terms of Section 1(e), will include in such Demand Registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice; provided that, with the consent of the Majority Holders, the Company may instead provide notice of the Demand Registration to all other Holders within three (3) business days following the non-confidential filing of the registration statement with respect to the Demand Registration so long as such registration statement is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in light of the fact that as of the effectiveness of this Agreement, True Harvest is the only Holder, the Company and True Harvest agree that this Section 1(b) is moot for purposes of the Pending Registration, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to proceed to filing of the Form S-1 Registration Statement in respect of the Pending Registration on or before January 12, 2022.

 

 

 

 

(c) Form of Registrations. Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Securities.

 

(d) Shelf Registrations.

 

(i) For so long as a registration statement for a Shelf Registration (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) is and remains effective, the Holders will have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to sell pursuant to an offering (including an underwritten offering) Registrable Securities available for sale pursuant to such registration statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”). A Holder may elect to sell Registrable Securities under a Shelf Registration Statement by delivering to the Company a written notice (a “Shelf Offering Notice”) specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that the Holder desires to sell (the “Shelf Offering”). As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) business days after receipt of a Shelf Offering Notice, the Company will give written notice of such Shelf Offering Notice to all other Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities that have been identified as selling stockholders in such Shelf Registration Statement and are otherwise permitted to sell in such Shelf Offering. The Company, subject to Section 1(e) and Section 7, may include in such Shelf Offering any number of shares of Common Stock the Company desires to sell in such Shelf Offering and will include in such Shelf Offering all Shelf Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion (which request will specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within seven (7) days after the receipt of the Shelf Offering Notice. The Company will, as expeditiously as possible (and in any event within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a Shelf Offering Notice), but subject to Section 1(e), use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Shelf Offering.

 

(ii) All determinations as to whether to complete any Shelf Offering and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any Shelf Offering contemplated by this Section 1(d) shall be determined by the Majority Participating Holders, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Shelf Offering to occur as promptly as practicable.

 

(iii) The Company will, at the request of the Majority Participating Holders, file any prospectus supplement or any post-effective amendments and otherwise take any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Majority Participating Holders to effect such Shelf Offering.

 

(e) Priority on Demand Registrations and Shelf Offerings.

 

(i) The Company will not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities (other than securities to be included by the Company for its own account, securities issued by the Company to the PIPE Investors in connection with the PIPE Offering or securities issued to other stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of any merger agreement entered into by the Company on or about the date of the Merger Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Majority Participating Holders. If a Demand Registration or a Shelf Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and (if permitted hereunder) other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities (if any), which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, then the Company will include in such offering (prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities): (i) first, the number of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included, which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder; (ii) second, the securities that the Company proposes to sell; and (iii) third, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by the PIPE Holders which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective PIPE Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such PIPE Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, however, the Pending Registration is not an underwritten offering.

 

2

 

 

(f) Restrictions on Demand Registration and Shelf Offerings.

 

(i) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration or underwritten Shelf Offering within one-hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration or a previous registration in which Registrable Securities were included pursuant to Section 3 (understanding, however, that the Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to file the Form S-1 related to the Pending Registration on or before January 12, 2022). 

 

(ii) The Company may postpone, for up to ninety (90) days from the date of the request (the “Suspension Period”), the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration or suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of a Shelf Registration Statement (and therefore suspend sales of the Shelf Registrable Securities) by providing written notice to the Holders if the Company determines that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any Subsidiary to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, financing or other transaction involving the Company and upon advice of counsel, the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement would require disclosure of material non-public information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, and (x) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction, (y) disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate such transaction, or (z) such transaction renders the Company unable to comply with SEC requirements, in each case under circumstances that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the registration statement (or such filings) to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the registration statement on a post-effective basis, as applicable. The Company may delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Demand Registration or Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 1(f)(i) only once in any twelve (12)-month period (for avoidance of doubt, in addition to the Company’s rights and obligations under Section 4(a)(vi)).

 

(iii) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Shelf Registration Statement as set forth in paragraph (f)(ii) above or pursuant to Section 4(a)(vi) (a “Suspension Event”), the Company will give a notice to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and such notice must state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension will continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. Each Holder agrees not to effect any sales of its Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. A Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice will be given by the Company to the Holders promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.

 

(g) Selection of Underwriters. The Majority Participating Holders, with the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, will have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer any underwritten offering in connection with a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering.

 

3

 

 

(h) Revocation of Demand Notice or Shelf Offering Notice. At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to a Demand Registration or the “pricing” of any offering relating to a Shelf Offering Notice, the Majority Participating Holders may revoke such notice of a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering Notice on behalf of all Holders participating in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering without liability to such Holders, in each case by providing written notice to the Company.

 

(i) Confidentiality. Each Holder agrees to treat as confidential the receipt of any notice hereunder (including notice of a Demand Registration, a Shelf Offering Notice and a Suspension Notice) and the information contained therein, and not to disclose or use the information contained in any such notice (or the existence thereof) without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally (other than as a result of disclosure by such Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement).

 

Section 2 Piggyback Registrations.

 

(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (including primary and secondary registrations, and other than pursuant to an Excluded Registration) (each, a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will give prompt written notice to all Holders of its intention to effect such Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Section 2(b) and Section 2(c), will include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after delivery of the Company’s notice.

 

(b) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the number of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included, which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder; (ii) second, the securities that the Company proposes to sell; (iii) third, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by the PIPE Holders which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective PIPE Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such PIPE Holder and (iv) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect.

 

(c) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s equity securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the number of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included, which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder; (ii) second, the securities that the Company proposes to sell; and (iii) third, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by the PIPE Holders which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective PIPE Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such PIPE Holder; and (iv) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect.

 

4

 

 

(d) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company will have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2, whether or not any holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such registration.

 

Section 3 Stockholder Lock-Up Agreements and Company Holdback Agreement.

 

(a) Stockholder Lock-up Agreements. In connection with any underwritten Public Offering, each Holder will enter into any lock-up, holdback or similar agreements (which shall be identical in form and substance for all Holders) requested by the underwriter(s) managing such offering, in each case with such modifications and exceptions as may be approved by the Majority Participating Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Holder hereby agrees that in connection with any Demand Registration, Shelf Offering or Piggyback Registration that is an underwritten Public Offering, not to (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including sales pursuant to Rule 144), directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company (including equity securities of the Company that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by such Holder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC) (collectively, “Securities”), or any securities, options or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Securities (collectively, “Other Securities”), (ii) enter into a transaction which would have the same effect as described in clause (i) above, (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or ownership of any Securities or Other Securities, whether such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such Securities or Other Securities, in cash or otherwise (each of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, a “Sale Transaction”), or (iv) publicly disclose the intention to enter into any Sale Transaction, commencing on the date on which the Company gives notice to the Holders that a preliminary prospectus has been circulated for such underwritten Public Offering or the “pricing” of such offering and continuing to the date that is ninety (90) days following the date of the final prospectus in the case of any underwritten Public Offering (each such period, or such shorter period as agreed to by the managing underwriters, a “Holdback Period”), in each case with such modifications and exceptions as may be approved by the Majority Participating Holders. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to any Securities or Other Securities subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3(a) until the end of such Holdback Period. For the avoidance of doubt, no lock-up will be required of True Harvest in connection with the Pending Registration.

 

(b) Company Holdback Agreement. The Company (i) will not file any registration statement for a Public Offering or cause any such registration statement to become effective, or effect any public sale or distribution of its Securities or Other Securities during any Holdback Period (other than as part of such underwritten Public Offering, or a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar form which is (x) then in effect or (y) shall become effective upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any then outstanding Other Securities) and (ii) will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of Securities and Other Securities (including each of its directors and executive officers) to agree not to effect any Sale Transaction during any Holdback Period, except as part of such underwritten registration (if otherwise permitted), unless approved in writing by the Majority Participating Holders and the underwriters managing the Public Offering and to enter into any lock-up, holdback or similar agreements requested by the underwriter(s) managing such offering, in each case with such modifications and exceptions as may be approved by the Majority Participating Holders.

Section 4 Registration Procedures.

 

(a) Company Obligations. Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement or have initiated a Shelf Offering, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as possible:

(xvi) cooperate with the Holders covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, or the removal of any restrictive legends associated with any account at which such securities are held, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter, or agent, if any, or such Holders may request;

 

(xvii) if requested by any managing underwriter, include in any prospectus or prospectus supplement updated financial or business information for the Company’s most recent period or current quarterly period (including estimated results or ranges of results) if required for purposes of marketing the offering in the view of the managing underwriter;

8

 

 

(xx) in the case of any underwritten offering, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, and deliver to the underwriter(s), in the manner and to the extent provided for in the applicable underwriting agreement, one or more cold comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters;

 

(xxi) use its reasonable best efforts to provide a legal opinion of the Company’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such registration statement addressed to the Company, (i) on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the closing date of the applicable sale, (A) one or more legal opinions of the Company’s outside counsel, dated such date, in form and substance as customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering or, in the case of a non-underwritten offering, to the broker, placement agent or other agent of the Holders assisting in the sale of the Registrable Securities and (B) one or more “negative assurances letters” of the Company’s outside counsel, dated such date, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering or, in the case of a non-underwritten offering, to the broker, placement agent or other agent of the Holders assisting in the sale of the Registrable Securities, in each case, addressed to the underwriters, if any, or, if requested, in the case of a non-underwritten offering, to the broker, placement agent or other agent of the Holders assisting in the sale of the Registrable Securities and (ii) customary certificates executed by authorized officers of the Company as may be requested by any Holder or any underwriter of such Registrable Securities;

 

(xxii) if the Company files an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)) during the period during which such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective;

 

(xxiii) if the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold; and

 

(xxiv) if the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, at the end of the third year, refile a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, and, if at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, use its reasonable best efforts to refile the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 and keep such registration statement effective during the period during which such registration statement is required to be kept effective.

 

(b) Automatic Shelf Registration Statements. If the Company files any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, the Company agrees that, at the request of the Majority Holders, it will include in such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment. If the Company has filed any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, the Company shall, at the request of the Majority Holders, file any post-effective amendments necessary to include therein all disclosure and language necessary to ensure that the holders of Registrable Securities may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement.

 

(c) Additional Information. The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, as a condition to such seller’s participation in such registration.

(d) In-Kind Distributions. If a Holder seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of their Registrable Securities to their respective direct or indirect equityholders, the Company will, subject to any applicable lock-ups, work with the foregoing Persons to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested and consistent with the Company’s obligations under the Securities Act.

 

(e) Suspended Distributions.

Section 5 Registration Expenses.

 

Except as expressly provided herein (including, without limitation, Section 1(a)), all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the performance of or compliance with this Agreement and/or in connection with any Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration or Shelf Offering, whether or not the same shall become effective, shall be paid by the Company, including, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees, and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the SEC or FINRA, (ii) all fees and expenses in connection with compliance with any securities or “blue sky” laws, (iii) all printing, duplicating, word processing, messenger, telephone, facsimile and delivery expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company or other depositary and of printing prospectuses and Company Free Writing Prospectuses), (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of all independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and cold comfort letters required by or incident to such performance), (v) Securities Act liability insurance or similar insurance if the Company so desires or the underwriters so require in accordance with then-customary underwriting practice, (vi) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange on which similar securities of the Company are then listed (or on which exchange the Registrable Securities are proposed to be listed in the case of the Company’s initial Public Offering), (vii) all applicable rating agency fees with respect to the Registrable Securities, (viii) all reasonable fees and disbursements of one legal counsel for selling Holders selected by the Majority Participating Holders, (ix) any fees and disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities, (x) all fees and expenses of any special experts or other Persons retained by the Company in connection with any Registration (xi) all of the Company’s internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties) and (xii) all expenses of the Company related to the “road-show” for any underwritten offering, including all travel, meals and lodging.

Section 6 Indemnification and Contribution.

 

(a) By the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law and without limitation as to time, each Holder, such Holder’s officers, directors employees, agents, fiduciaries, stockholders, partners, members, affiliates, consultants and representatives, and any successors and assigns thereof, and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including with respect to actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, and including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon or related to any of the following (each, a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (A) any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (B) any application or other document or communication (in this Section 6, collectively called an “application”) executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the “blue sky” or securities laws thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance. In addition, the Company will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses result from, arise out of, are based upon, or relate to an untrue statement, or omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Party expressly for use therein or by such Indemnified Party’s failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such Indemnified Party with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors, and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Indemnified Parties or as otherwise agreed to in the underwriting agreement executed in connection with such underwritten offering. Such indemnity and reimbursement of expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller.

 

(b) By Holders. In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Losses resulting from (as determined by a final and appealable judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction) any untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

 

(c) Claim Procedure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice will impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder only to the extent such failure has prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties will have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the Majority Holders, at the expense of the indemnifying party.

 

11

 

 

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to, or is insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party or is otherwise unenforceable with respect to any Loss referred to herein, then such indemnifying party will contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Loss, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Loss as well as any other relevant equitable considerations or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 6(d) is not permitted by applicable law, then in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative fault but also the relative benefit of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other in connection with the statement or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution will be limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue (or, as applicable alleged) untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if the contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account such equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to herein will be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject hereof. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e) Release. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

(f) Non-exclusive Remedy; Survival. The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract (and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be considered the indemnitors of first resort in all such circumstances to which this Section 6 applies) and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

12

 

 

Section 7 Cooperation with Underwritten Offerings. No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no Holder will be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such Holder has requested to include in such registration) and (ii) completes, executes and delivers all questionnaires, powers of attorney, stock powers, custody agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents and agreements required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements or as may be reasonably requested by the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s). To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 3, Section 4 and/or this Section 7, the respective rights and obligations created under such agreement will supersede the respective rights and obligations of the Holders, the Company and the underwriters created thereby with respect to such registration.

 

Section 8 Subsidiary Public Offering. If, after an initial Public Offering of the common equity securities of one of its Subsidiaries, the Company distributes securities of such Subsidiary to its equityholders, then the rights and obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement will apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Subsidiary, and the Company will cause such Subsidiary to comply with such Subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement as if it were the Company hereunder.

 

Section 9 Joinder; Additional Parties; Transfer of Registrable Securities.

 

(a) Joinder. The Company may from time to time (with the prior written consent of the Majority Holders) permit any Person who acquires Common Stock (or rights to acquire Common Stock) to become a party to this Agreement and to be entitled to and be bound by all of the rights and obligations as a Holder by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Person in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Joinder”). Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder by such Person, the Common Stock held by such Person shall become Registrable Securities, and such Person shall be deemed a Holder.

 

(b) Restrictions on Transfers. Prior to transferring any Registrable Securities to any Person (including, without limitation, by operation of law), the transferring Holder must first cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder, except that such consent and Joinder shall not be required in the case of (i) a transfer to the Company, (ii) a Public Offering, (iii) a sale pursuant to Rule 144 and/or (iv) a transfer in connection with a Sale of the Company. Any transfer or attempted transfer of Registrable Securities in violation of any provision of this Agreement will be void, and the Company will not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Registrable Securities as the owner thereof for any purpose (but the Company will be entitled to enforce against such Person the obligations hereunder).

 

Section 10 General Provisions.

 

(a) Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders (which consent of the Majority Holders must include the consent of True Harvest for so long as True Harvest holds Registrable Securities); provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver that would treat a specific Holder in a manner materially and adversely different than any other Holder will be effective against such Holder without the consent of such Holder; provided further that the foregoing provision shall not apply to any amendments or modifications otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, including any required to add a party hereto. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A waiver or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement will not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement.

 

13

 

 

(b) Remedies. The parties to this Agreement will be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing hereunder, any party will be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(c) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

 

(d) Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement contains the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

 

(e) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and permitted assigns and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns (whether so expressed or not).

3. Exercise of Warrant; Term. Subject to Section 2, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the right to purchase the Warrant Interests represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part into Common Shares by the Holder, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, by (A) the surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the principal executive office of the Company located at 111 Broadway, Amityville, New York 11701 (or such other office or agency of the Company in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), and (B) at the Holder’s option, (i) payment of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Interests thereby purchased at the election of the Holder by tendering in cash, by certified or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or (ii) instructing the Company to withhold a number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants being exercised with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date the Notice of Exercise is delivered equal to the aggregate Exercise Price, which shall be treated as the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price therefor.

 

Upon the Warrant Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Exercise and instructions to withhold a number of Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.2(B)(ii), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares and provide the Holder with a calculation of the number of Common Shares required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.2(B)(ii).

If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days of such exercise, deliver to the Holder either (a) a new warrant, substantially identical to this Warrant, dated the date it is issued evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remainder of the Warrant Interests called for by this Warrant or (b) this Warrant bearing an appropriate notation of such partial exercise but in any case the failure to do so shall not affect the Holder’s rights as a Holder.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, upon exercise of the Warrant, the Holder may elect to receive either (i) the Warrant Interests or (ii) a cash amount equal to the greater of (x) the Fair Market Value of such Warrant Interests and (y) the Floor Amount (an election to receive cash pursuant to the foregoing, a “Cash Election”). If, at the time of such election, the payment of cash pursuant to clause (ii) above would result in the Company’s liquidity to be less than would be sufficient to capital to enable the Company to pay its obligations in the ordinary course as they become due, the Holders shall have the option to be paid, in whole or in part, in the form of a two-year secured promissory note with a rate of interest equal to the Company’s current secured borrowing rate and repaid in equal installments calculated using straight-line amortization, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder.

 

This Warrant shall expire and no longer be exercisable on the earlier of the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof (as it may have been extended hereunder, the “Expiration Date”) and the termination of this Warrant in accordance with Section 13 hereof; provided that the Expiration Date may be extended at the option of the Holder by successive one-year periods if, as of the Expiration Date absent such an extension, the cultivation, manufacture, distribution, or possession of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law; provided further that in no event may the Expiration Date be extended to a date that is later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date hereof.

 

4. Issuance of Warrant Interests. Upon exercise of the Warrant and receipt by the Company of payment of the Exercise Price or an election for cashless exercise (in accordance with Section 3 of this Warrant), unless the Holder has made a Cash Election, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, cause the Company’s records to reflect the issuance through book entry of the Warrant Interests in the name of the Holder, and the Company shall promptly provide to the Holder, upon request, a book-entry confirmation of the Warrant Interests acquired. The Company agrees that the Warrant Interests so issued will be deemed to have been issued to the Holder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price (if applicable) are delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Warrant. The Company will at all times keep reserved for issuance upon exercise hereof the aggregate number of Warrant Interests as shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in full. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Warrant Interests may be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Warrant Interests are listed or traded.

 

In addition to any other restrictions or legends required by applicable state securities laws, in the event the Company issues certificates evidencing the Warrants Shares, the certificates shall bear any restrictive legends the Company reasonably determines are required to comply with applicable law.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of this Warrant together with a properly executed Form of Assignment and payment of any applicable tax or charge related thereto, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, execute and deliver one or more new Warrants of like tenor which shall be exercisable for a like aggregate number of Warrant Interests, registered in the name of the Holder and/or a transferee or transferees, as applicable.

 

(D) Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the Person in possession of this Warrant may be treated by the Company, and all other Persons dealing with this Warrant, as the absolute owner hereof and as Holder for any purpose and as the Person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that until a transfer of this Warrant is properly made pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and duly registered on the books of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 8 of this Warrant, the Company may treat the Holder as the owner for all purposes.

 

7

 

 

(E)   The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, whether certificated or uncertificated, in any name other than that of Holder, and, in such case, the Company shall not be required to issue such Warrant Interests or deliver any certificate representing such Warrant Interests, if applicable, until such tax or other governmental charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.

 

(F) Any Transferee of this Warrant or any portion hereof, by their acceptance of this Warrant, is deemed to agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

 

8. Registry of Warrant. The Company shall maintain will maintain at its principal office a registry showing the name and address of the Holder as the registered holder of this Warrant and will promptly update such register to reflect any transfers made in compliance with the terms hereof. Until any transfer of this Warrant is reflected in the Warrant Register, the Company may treat the Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at the office of the Company, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

 

9. No Rights as Stockholder. Except as expressly set forth herein, a Warrant does not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

 

10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that an affidavit shall be satisfactory) of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall, within three Business Days make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of the Holder’s agreement of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company (provided, if Holder is a financial institution or other institutional investor, then its own agreement shall be satisfactory), and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Interests as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

 

11.  Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

12.  Adjustments and Other Rights. The number of Warrant Interests issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 12 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 12 so as to result in duplication:

  

(A) Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications, Combinations; or Issuance of Equity. If the Company shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Shares, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, or (iv) issue any additional equity (whether by issuance of new securities, stock split, combination, reclassification, reorganization or otherwise and including, but not limited to, any Equity Equivalents), then the number of Warrant Interests issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination, reclassification or issuance shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the same number of Common Shares (on a fully-diluted basis).

 

(B) Other Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a dividend distribution (whether payable in securities of the Company, cash or other property, or engage in a redemption or repurchase of Common Shares with a similar effect to all holders of its Common Shares) (a “Dividend”) to its holders of Common Shares or other securities, the Holder (or any transferee, upon any transfer of the Warrant permitted hereunder) shall receive simultaneously on the payment date of such Dividend, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full on the date of such Dividend (or, to the extent the Company fixes a record date for such Dividend, on such record date).

 

(C) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the ownership interests of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transactions, in each case which entitles the holders of Common Shares to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Common Shares (any transaction described in clauses (i)-(v) above, a “Whole Company Transaction”), each Warrant shall, immediately after such Whole Company Transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Common Shares then-exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such Whole Company Transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such Whole Company Transaction and acquired the Common Shares then-issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 12(C) shall similarly apply to successive Whole Company Transactions. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, effect any Whole Company Transaction unless:

 

(i) the Company shall have provided the Holder with at least thirty (30) but no more than ninety (90) days’ written notice of such event; and

 

9

 

 

(ii) prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 12(C), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to exercise in Warrant instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 12(C) with respect to this Warrant.

 

(D) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 12 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such adjustment shall increase the Exercise Price above, or decrease the number of Warrant Interests below, such amount as would otherwise be determined pursuant to this Section 12. If the Company shall enter into any transaction for the purpose of avoiding the application of the provisions of this Section 12, the benefits provided by such provisions shall nevertheless apply and be preserved.

 

(E) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 12, the Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in reasonable detail the method used in arriving at the adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of Common Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holder at the address appearing in the Company’s records.

 

(F) Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Company shall propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 12, the Company shall give notice to the Holder, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 5 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 5 days prior to the taking of such proposed action, except if it is impracticable to provide such 5 days’ prior notice, then the Company shall provide such notice as soon as it is reasonably able prior to or after the taking of such proposed action.

 

10

 

 

(G) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take any action which may be necessary in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all Common Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 12.

 

12. Termination. This Warrant shall automatically terminate without any further action (i) immediately upon payment being made in respect of this Warrant as contemplated by Section 3 in connection with an exercise of this Warrant in full or (ii) upon the Expiration Date (to the extent not extended pursuant to Section 3).

 

13. Reporting Requirements. The Company shall furnish to the Holder the information required to be provided under Section 5.1 of the Financing Agreement (as in effect as of date hereof) within the time periods specified in Section 5.1 of the Financing Agreement (as in effect as of date hereof), whether or not the Financing Agreement remains in effect or has been amended or modified; provided that so long as Holder or its Affiliates remain a party to the Financing Agreement and the applicable provisions in the Financing Agreement have not been amended or modified, delivery of such documents under the Financing Agreement shall be deemed to be delivery under this Agreement.

 

14. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. Each of the parties hereto agrees (a) to submit to the non- exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state or federal courts in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, (b) that non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall lie in the state or federal courts in the State of New York, and (c) that notice may be served upon such party at the address and in the manner set forth for such party in Section 17 hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto hereby unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Warrant.

 

15. Binding Effect; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or permitted assigns of the Company and the Holder. This Warrant is for the sole benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Warrant.

 

16. Amendments. This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. The Company shall not amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation in a manner that would adversely affect the Holder without the prior written consent of the Holder.

 

17. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the other will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or by electronic mail, upon confirmation of receipt, or (b) on the second Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next day courier service. All notices hereunder shall be delivered as set forth below for the Company or pursuant to such other instructions as may be designated in writing by the party to receive such notice.

3. Exercise of Warrant; Term. Subject to Section 2, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the right to purchase the Warrant Interests represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part into Common Shares by the Holder, at any time or from time to time, by (A) the surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the principal executive office of the Company located at 111 Broadway, Amityville, New York 11701 (or such other office or agency of the Company in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), and (B) at the Holder’s option, (i) payment of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Interests thereby purchased at the election of the Holder by tendering in cash, by certified or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or (ii) instructing the Company to withhold a number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants being exercised with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date the Notice of Exercise is delivered equal to the aggregate Exercise Price, which shall be treated as the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price therefor.

 

Upon the Warrant Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Exercise and instructions to withhold a number of Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.2(B)(ii), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares and provide the Holder with a calculation of the number of Common Shares required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.2(B)(ii).

 

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, an exercise of any portion of this Warrant may, at the election of the Holder, be conditioned upon the consummation of a particular transaction by the Company, in which case, such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until the consummation of such transaction.

 

If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days of such exercise, deliver to the Holder either (a) a new warrant, substantially identical to this Warrant, dated the date it is issued evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remainder of the Warrant Interests called for by this Warrant or (b) this Warrant bearing an appropriate notation of such partial exercise but in any case the failure to do so shall not affect the Holder’s rights as a Holder.

 

The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to assist and cooperate with the Holder or any purchaser or assignee that is required to make any governmental filings or to obtain any governmental approvals prior to or in connection with any exercise of this Warrant (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Company).

 

4

 

 

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, upon exercise of the Warrant, the Holder may elect to receive either (i) the Warrant Interests or (ii) a cash amount equal to the greater of (x) the Fair Market Value of such Warrant Interests and (y) the Floor Amount (an election to receive cash pursuant to the foregoing, a “Cash Election”). If, at the time of such election, the payment of cash pursuant to clause (ii) above would result in the Company’s liquidity to be less than would be sufficient to capital to enable the Company to pay its obligations in the ordinary course as they become due, the Holders shall have the option to be paid, in whole or in part, in the form of a two-year secured promissory note with a rate of interest equal to the Company’s current secured borrowing rate and repaid in equal installments calculated using straight-line amortization, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder.

 

This Warrant shall expire and no longer be exercisable on the earlier of the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof (as it may have been extended hereunder, the “Expiration Date”) and the termination of this Warrant in accordance with Section 13 hereof; provided that the Expiration Date may be extended at the option of the Holder by successive one-year periods if, as of the Expiration Date absent such an extension, the cultivation, manufacture, distribution, or possession of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law; provided further that in no event may the Expiration Date be extended to a date that is later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date hereof.

 

4. Issuance of Warrant Interests. Upon exercise of the Warrant and receipt by the Company of payment of the Exercise Price or an election for cashless exercise (in accordance with Section 3 of this Warrant), unless the Holder has made a Cash Election, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, cause the Company’s records to reflect the issuance through book entry of the Warrant Interests in the name of the Holder, and the Company shall promptly provide to the Holder, upon request, a book-entry confirmation of the Warrant Interests acquired. The Company agrees that the Warrant Interests so issued will be deemed to have been issued to the Holder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price (if applicable) are delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Warrant. The Company will at all times keep reserved for issuance upon exercise hereof the aggregate number of Warrant Interests as shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in full. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Warrant Interests may be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Warrant Interests are listed or traded.

 

In addition to any other restrictions or legends required by applicable state securities laws, in the event the Company issues certificates evidencing the Warrants Shares, the certificates shall bear any restrictive legends the Company reasonably determines are required to comply with applicable law.

(F) Any Transferee of this Warrant or any portion hereof, by their acceptance of this Warrant, is deemed to agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

12.  Adjustments and Other Rights. The number of Warrant Interests issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 12 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 12 so as to result in duplication:

  

(A) Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications, Combinations; or Issuance of Equity. If the Company shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Shares, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, or (iv) issue any additional equity (whether by issuance of new securities, stock split, combination, reclassification, reorganization or otherwise and including, but not limited to, any Equity Equivalents), then the number of Warrant Interests issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination, reclassification or issuance shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the same number of Common Shares (on a fully-diluted basis).

 

(B) Other Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a dividend distribution (whether payable in securities of the Company, cash or other property, or engage in a redemption or repurchase of Common Shares with a similar effect to all holders of its Common Shares) (a “Dividend”) to its holders of Common Shares or other securities, the Holder (or any transferee, upon any transfer of the Warrant permitted hereunder) shall receive simultaneously on the payment date of such Dividend, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full on the date of such Dividend (or, to the extent the Company fixes a record date for such Dividend, on such record date).

 

(C) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the ownership interests of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transactions, in each case which entitles the holders of Common Shares to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Common Shares (any transaction described in clauses (i)-(v) above, a “Whole Company Transaction”), each Warrant shall, immediately after such Whole Company Transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Common Shares then-exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such Whole Company Transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such Whole Company Transaction and acquired the Common Shares then-issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 12(C) shall similarly apply to successive Whole Company Transactions. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, effect any Whole Company Transaction unless:

 

(i) the Company shall have provided the Holder with at least thirty (30) but no more than ninety (90) days’ written notice of such event; and

 

9

 

 

(ii) prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 12(C), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to exercise in Warrant instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 12(C) with respect to this Warrant.

 

(D) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 12 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such adjustment shall increase the Exercise Price above, or decrease the number of Warrant Interests below, such amount as would otherwise be determined pursuant to this Section 12. If the Company shall enter into any transaction for the purpose of avoiding the application of the provisions of this Section 12, the benefits provided by such provisions shall nevertheless apply and be preserved.

 

(E) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 12, the Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in reasonable detail the method used in arriving at the adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of Common Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holder at the address appearing in the Company’s records.

 

(F) Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Company shall propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 12, the Company shall give notice to the Holder, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 5 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 5 days prior to the taking of such proposed action, except if it is impracticable to provide such 5 days’ prior notice, then the Company shall provide such notice as soon as it is reasonably able prior to or after the taking of such proposed action.

 

10

 

 

(G) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take any action which may be necessary in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all Common Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 12.

 

12. Termination. This Warrant shall automatically terminate without any further action (i) immediately upon payment being made in respect of this Warrant as contemplated by Section 3 in connection with an exercise of this Warrant in full or (ii) upon the Expiration Date (to the extent not extended pursuant to Section 3).

 

13. Reporting Requirements. The Company shall furnish to the Holder the information required to be provided under Section 5.1 of the Financing Agreement (as in effect as of date hereof) within the time periods specified in Section 5.1 of the Financing Agreement (as in effect as of date hereof), whether or not the Financing Agreement remains in effect or has been amended or modified; provided that so long as Holder or its Affiliates remain a party to the Financing Agreement and the applicable provisions in the Financing Agreement have not been amended or modified, delivery of such documents under the Financing Agreement shall be deemed to be delivery under this Agreement.

 

14. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. Each of the parties hereto agrees (a) to submit to the non- exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state or federal courts in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, (b) that non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall lie in the state or federal courts in the State of New York, and (c) that notice may be served upon such party at the address and in the manner set forth for such party in Section 17 hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto hereby unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Warrant.

 

15. Binding Effect; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or permitted assigns of the Company and the Holder. This Warrant is for the sole benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Warrant.

 

16. Amendments. This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. The Company shall not amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation in a manner that would adversely affect the Holder without the prior written consent of the Holder.

 

17. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the other will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or by electronic mail, upon confirmation of receipt, or (b) on the second Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next day courier service. All notices hereunder shall be delivered as set forth below for the Company or pursuant to such other instructions as may be designated in writing by the party to receive such notice.

The Greenrose Holding Company Closes Asset Purchase of True Harvest, LLC

 

- True Harvest Expands Greenrose’s Footprint into Arizona and Establishes Strong Cultivation Presence in the Southwest -

 

- Greenrose Provides Revised 2022 Outlook for True Harvest and Theraplant -

 

AMITYVILLE, N.Y., January 3, 2022 – The Greenrose Holding Company Inc. (OTC: GNRS, GNRSW) (“Greenrose” or the “Company”) announced that it closed its previously announced acquisition of the assets of Arizona-based True Harvest, LLC.

 

Under the terms of the acquisition, Greenrose paid consideration of $57.6 million at close, consisting of $12.5 million in cash, $23.0 million in the form of a convertible note, $4.6 million in assumed debt, and $17.5 million in shares of the Company’s common stock. Contingent upon True Harvest achieving a certain price point per pound of cannabis flower relative to total flower production within 36 months of the closing of the transaction, Greenrose will pay additional consideration of up to $35.0 million in the form of an earnout, payable in shares of common stock of the Company.

 

“Completing our asset purchase of True Harvest expands Greenrose’s footprint into the Southwest and demonstrates the continued execution of our growth strategy,” said Mickey Harley, CEO and Director of Greenrose. “We look forward to working with True Harvest’s talented cultivation team to continue building our company around high-quality flower. With our strong cultivation footprint in Arizona and Connecticut, we believe our platform is well-positioned to capture the growth opportunities offered by these new and emerging recreational markets. I am proud of the progress we have made to date, and we will work to further expand our platform and execute on our strategic objectives in 2022.”

 

Greenrose completed its business combination with the acquisition of Connecticut-based Theraplant, LLC, on November 26, 2021. The Company has revised its 2022 outlook for True Harvest and Theraplant to reflect an expected Q4 2022 start for recreational cannabis sales in Connecticut. Combined, True Harvest and Theraplant are expected to generate between $120 million and $140 million in full year 2022 revenue, 2022 net income of between $8 million and $14 million, and 2022 adjusted EBITDA between the range of $75 million and $85 million.

(3) Interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, as done in the article 11 pro formas.

 

(4) Depreciation and amortization expense is based upon a preliminary fair value valuation, with its related depreciation and is used in our Article 11 proformas, which may change upon the completion of purchase accounting under ASC 805.

 

(5) This excludes any transaction related expenses.
