Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Private Placement of Preferred Stock and a Note

 

On December 16, 2020, Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement with Dye Capital Cann Holdings II, LLC (the “Investor”) to change the number of shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) the Investor would purchase under the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 16, 2020 (as amended, the “SPA”), between the Company and the Investor from 12,400 to up to 13,000 in one or more closings, among other changes. The Company also executed a letter agreement with the Investor providing the rights described below (the “Letter Agreement”).

 

The Company issued and sold to the Investor 7,700 shares of Preferred Stock on the same date, 1,450 shares of Preferred Stock on December 18, 2020, and 1300 shares of Preferred Stock on December 22, 2020. The purchase price was $1,000 per share of Preferred Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $10,450,000 and aggregate net proceeds of approximately $ 8,205,500 after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.

 

In addition, on December 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA”) with Dye Capital & Company, LLC (“Dye Capital”) and issued and sold to Dye Capital a Convertible Note and Security Agreement in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Note”).

 

Also on December 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Consent, Waiver and Amendment with Dye Capital Cann Holdings, LLC (“Dye Cann I”), in order to waive certain participation rights in the offerings and amend the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and Dye Cann I, dated June 5, 2019, as amended (the “Dye Cann I SPA”), as described below (the “Waiver”).

 

The Benchmark Company, LLC, SDDco-Brokerage LLC, and DelMorgan Group, LLC, each acted as placement agent in connection with the transactions described above, and will each receive $31,500.00 as the Company’s placement agents.

 

Justin Dye, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the largest beneficial owner of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), controls the Investor, Dye Capital and Dye Cann I and has sole voting and dispositive power over the securities held by the Investor, Dye Capital and Dye Cann I. Mr. Dye, our Chief Operating Offering, Nirup Krishnamurthy, and one of our directors, Jeffrey Garwood, are part owners of the Investor and Dye Cann I. Mr. Krishnamurthy and Mr. Garwood do not beneficially own any of the securities held by the Investor or Dye Cann I. The Company’s Board of Directors formed a special committee consisting of one independent director to review, evaluate, negotiate, approve and recommend to the full Board of Directors (if deemed appropriate), the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in the transactions described under Item 1.01 and Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. In addition, the special committee obtained an opinion delivered by a financial advisory firm to the special committee, which concluded that, based upon and subject to the procedures followed, limitations on the review undertaken and assumptions made and qualifications and other matters contained in opinion, the consideration to be received for the issuance of the Preferred Stock was fair to the Company from a financial point of view.

 

Terms of the Preferred Stock

 

On December 16, 2020 and effective as of such date, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Nevada Secretary of State to create and authorize up to 60,000 shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to authority granted to the Company’s Board of Directors under the Company’s articles of incorporation. The table below summarizes the principal terms of the Preferred Stock.

 

 

 

  2  

 

 

Dividend Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 8% per annum on the “Preference Amount,” which initially is equal to the $1,000 per-share purchase price and subject to increase, payable annually on each anniversary of the date of the first issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock to holders of record on each such payment date, by having such dividends automatically accrete as of each dividend payment date to, and increase, the outstanding Preference Amount.
Liquidation Preference

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid out of the Company’s assets available for distributions to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of any junior securities, such as the Common Stock, an amount in cash equal to the Preference Amount (plus the pro rata portion of the next dividend, if any), for each share of Preferred Stock.

 

In connection with a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), either the Company or holders of Preferred Stock holding no less than a majority of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock may elect to treat such Change of Control Transaction as a liquidation and to receive the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities paid or distributed to holders of Preferred Stock in such Change of Control Transaction. Generally, a Change of Control Transaction means the occurrence of any of: (i) the acquisition by a person or group through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series or related transactions, in which such transaction or transactions are with the Company or approved by Company’s Board of Directors, entitling that person or group to exercise more than a majority of the total voting power of all shares of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (including all securities such person has the right to acquire), (ii) a merger or consolidation involving the Company and, after giving effect to such transaction, the Company’s stockholders immediately before such transaction own less than a majority of the Company’s aggregate voting power the successor entity of such transaction immediately after such transaction, (iii) a sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the Company’s stockholders immediately before such transaction own less than a majority of the aggregate voting power of the acquiring entity immediately after such transaction, or (iv) the Common Stock ceases to be listed on a Trading Market (as defined in the Certificate of Designation).

Conversion Price and Conversion Rights of the Holders Each share of Preferred Stock will be convertible at the option of the holder thereof (i) for 90 days after the occurrence of a Listing Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), (ii) on the date of the consummation of a Change of Control Transaction if requested within 14 days after delivery to holders of a notice of an anticipated Change of Control Transaction, (iii) for 10 days after the receipt by the holders of a notice of forced redemption by the Company, and (iv) at any time after the first anniversary of the date of the first issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock, in each case, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Preference Amount (plus the pro rata portion of the next dividend, if any) of such share of Preferred Stock by $1.20. Generally, a Listing Event involves the listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange followed within 90 days thereafter by a public offering of Common Stock that generates gross proceeds to the Company of no less than $100,000,000.
Contingent Conversion Rights of the Company The Company may force conversion of the Preferred Stock (i) within 90 days after the occurrence of a Listing Event, and (ii) on the date of the consummation of a Change of Control Transaction if requested within 14 days after delivery to holders of a notice of an anticipated Change of Control Transaction, other than a Change of Control Transaction as a result of the Common Stock ceasing to be listed on any Trading Market.
Redemption Rights

Each share of Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of the holder thereof (i) for 90 days after the occurrence of a Listing Event, (ii) at any time after the fifth anniversary of the date of the first issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock, (iii) on the date of the consummation of a Change of Control Transaction if requested within 14 days after delivery to holders of a notice of an anticipated Change of Control Transaction, or (iv) for five days after the receipt by the holder of a notice of forced conversion by the Company. In each case, a holder of Preferred Stock may elect to have the Company redeem all or any portion of the shares of Preferred Stock held for a redemption price per share equal to the Preference Amount (plus the pro rata portion of the next dividend, if any). The Company has a right to defer such redemption one or more times until no later than the one year anniversary of the redemption date originally requested by the holder, provided that the dividends rate would be increased from 8% to 10% per annum during the first six months of such deferral period and 15% thereafter, if applicable.

 

In addition, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Preferred Stock within 90 days after the occurrence of a Listing Event.

 

 

 

  3  

 

 

Ranking With respect to conversion rights, redemption payments and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or a Change of Control Transaction, the Preferred Stock will rank junior to the Company’s indebtedness and any securities the Company issues in the future the terms of which expressly make such securities senior to the Preferred Stock, on a parity with any securities the Company issues in the future the terms of which expressly make such securities on a parity with any or all of the Preferred Stock, but senior to the Common Stock and any securities the Company issues in the future that are not expressly made on a parity or senior to the Preferred Stock.
Anti-Dilution The Preference Amount and the conversion price are subject to customary adjustments for stock combinations, stock subdivisions, reclassification and similar events but not for subsequent issuances of Company securities.
Voting Rights Each holder of Preferred Stock will be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock held would convert into as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on any matter presented to the Company’s stockholders for their action or consideration at any meeting (or by written consent in lieu of meeting) voting together with the holder of Common Stock as a single class as if such shares of Preferred Stock were convertible as of such date.

 

A copy of the Certificate of Designation is attached here to as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Additional Terms of the SPA

The December 16, 2020 date reflects the first closing restrictions tied to a date certain. December 18, 2020 and December 22, 2020 apply to the subsequent closings.
· Registration Rights: The Company granted the Investor certain demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.
· Equity Incentive Plan Limitation: For as long as the Investor holds any shares of Preferred Stock, the Company may not have issued and outstanding awards under any equity incentive plan for the issuance of shares of Common Stock representing more than 12% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis, excluding warrants) in the aggregate.

 

The SPA also contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, including indemnifications, and closing conditions.

 

A copy of the SPA and the Amendment are attached here to as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Terms of the Letter Agreement

 

Under the Letter Agreement, for as long as the Investor owns, in the aggregate, at least $10,000,000 of the Preferred Stock, as measured by a trailing 30 day volume weighted average price of the Common Stock, on an as-converted basis, or continues to hold at least 10,000 shares of Preferred Stock, the Company is required to take all actions to ensure that either one individual if the Company’s Board of Directors consists of five or fewer members or two individuals if the Company’s Board of Directors consists of more than five members designated by the Investor shall be appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors. For so long as the Investor is entitled to designate directors, each committee of the Company’s Board of Directors shall include at least one Investor designee as a member or, if the Investor so elects, as an observer.

 

The Letter Agreement and the Investor’s rights thereunder terminate upon the earlier of a Listing Event (as defined in the Letter Agreement), or a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in the Letter Agreement).

Stockholders and potential investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

CONVERTIBLE Promissory Note And Security Agreement

 

$5,000,000.00

As of December 16, 2020

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation doing business as Schwazze (hereinafter referred to as "Maker"), hereby promises to pay to the order of Dye Capital & Company, LLC (hereinafter referred to as "Payee"; Payee and any subsequent holder hereof being hereinafter referred to as "Holder"), on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined), without grace, at such place as Holder may designate to Maker in writing from time to time, the principal amount of FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00), together with interest on so much thereof as is from time to time outstanding and unpaid, from the date hereof, at the rate hereinafter set forth, in lawful money of the United States of America, which shall, at the time of payment, be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, all upon the terms and conditions specified below.

 

ARTICLE I

PAYMENT TERMS, CONVERSION AND CONDITIONS

 

1.01        Accrual and Calculation of Interest. Commencing the date hereof, interest shall accrue at the rate of twelve percent (12.0%) per annum. Interest shall be computed hereunder based on a 360-day year, and shall accrue for each and every day (365 days per year, 366 days per leap year) on which any indebtedness remains outstanding hereunder. In computing the number of days during which interest accrues, the day on which funds are initially advanced shall be included regardless of the time of day such advance is made, and the day on which funds are repaid shall be included unless repayment is credited prior to close of business. Payment in federal funds immediately available in the place designated for payment and received by Holder prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place of payment shall be credited prior to close of business, while other payments may, at the option of Holder, not be credited until immediately available to Holder in federal funds in the place designated for payment prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place of payment on a day that Holder is open for business. Fifty percent (50%) of any interest payable hereunder shall automatically accrue and be capitalized to the principal amount of this Promissory Note and Security Agreement (“PIK Interest”). All PIK Interest that has accrued shall be payable in cash on the Maturity Date as part of the repayment of the principal amount of this Promissory Note and Security Agreement.

 

1.02        Payment of Principal and Interest. For so long as this Promissory Note and Security Agreement has not fully converted pursuant to Section 1.05 hereof, on each of the first eleven Monthly Payment Dates (as defined below), Maker shall make payments of interest due hereunder (but no principal repayments and excluding PIK Interest), which will be calculated by Maker based upon the daily outstanding principal loan balance hereunder (including PIK Interest) for the immediately preceding Monthly Period (as defined below). Thereafter, unless converted into securities of Maker pursuant to Section 1.05 hereof, the entire principal amount of this Promissory Note and Security Agreement, as well as all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder, including all PIK Interest, shall be repaid Maker on the twelfth Monthly Payment Date (the “Maturity Date”). For purposes hereof, “Monthly Payment Date” means the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing with the month in which the date of this Promissory Note and Security Agreement occurred. For purposes hereof, “Monthly Period” means a calendar month. For purpose hereof, “Business Day” means any day excluding Saturday, Sunday and any day which is a legal holiday under the laws of the State of New York, or is a day on which banking institutions located in the State of New York are closed.

 

Both principal and interest shall be payable without deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or other charges levied or imposed on this Promissory Note and Security Agreement, the proceeds hereof or on the ownership hereof by any government or any instrumentality, authority or political subdivision thereof.

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 16, 2020 by and between Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and each of the investors listed on the Schedule of Buyers attached hereto (each individually a “Buyer” and collectively, the “Buyers”).

 

WHEREAS:

 

A.             The Company and the Buyers, severally and not jointly, are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the 1933 Act.

 

B.             The Buyers, severally and not jointly, wish to purchase, and the Company wishes to sell, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, an aggregate of 12,400 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Series A preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), having the rights, preferences and privileges set forth in the Certificate of Designation, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Designation”), including the conversion of such Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”). Such purchase and sale of Preferred Stock shall take place in a single closing (the “Closing,”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

C.             (i) The Shares and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon conversion of the Shares in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation (collectively, the “Underlying Shares”), are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyers hereby agree as follows:

 

1.              PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES.

 

(a)            Purchase of Shares. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 below at the Closing, the Company shall issue and sell to the Buyers all of the Shares, and each Buyer, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company on the Closing (as defined below), the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto executed by such Buyer on the terms set forth herein.

 

(b)            Closing. The date of the Closing shall be on such date and time as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Buyers after notification of satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 5 and 6 below, and the Closing shall be undertaken remotely by electronic transfer of Closing documentation.

 

(c)            Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Shares to be purchased by the Buyers at the Closing shall be $1,000 per Share (the “Purchase Price”).

 

(d)            Form of Payment. On or before the Closing, (i) each Buyer shall pay its aggregate Purchase Price to the Company for the Shares to be issued and sold to such Buyer at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Company’s written wire instructions; and (ii) the Company shall deliver to each Buyer one or more stock certificates, evidencing the number of Shares such Buyer is purchasing at the Closing, duly executed on behalf of the Company and registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee.

 

 

 

  1  

 

 

2.              BUYERS’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Buyer, for itself and for no other Buyer, represents and warrants to the Company that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):

 

(a)            No Public Sale or Distribution. The Buyer is (i) acquiring the Shares, and (ii) when issued in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, will acquire the Underlying Shares, in the ordinary course of its business for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, except as otherwise set forth herein or the other Transaction Documents (as defined in Section 3(b)), the Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act. The Buyer does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities. As used herein, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and any governmental entity or any department or agency thereof.

 

(b)            Buyer Status and Experience. The Buyer is, and on each date on which the Buyer acquires any Underlying Shares it will be, an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (“Accredited Investor”). The Buyer, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Buyer is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(c)            Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Buyer to acquire the Securities.

 

(d)            Information. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with a copy of the Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated November 6, 2020 (the “Confidential PPM”) and all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares that have been requested by the Buyer. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and receive answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities, the merits and risks of investing in the Securities and the business, finances and operations of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. The Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, including the risks outlined in the Confidential PPM. The Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

 

(e)            No Governmental Review. The Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

 

 

 

  2  

 

 

(f)             Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company (if requested by the Company) an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) the Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the 1933 Act, as amended, (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account with a FINRA registered broker/dealer or other loan or financing arrangement with an Accredited Investor secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and if the Buyer effects such a pledge of Securities it shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, this Section 2(f).

 

(g)            Legends. The Buyer understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable federal and state securities laws and that certificates or other instruments representing Securities except as set forth below, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

 

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN] [THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A FINRA REGISTERED BROKER/DEALER OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  3  

 

 

No later than two days on which the principal Trading Market (as defined below) is open (“Trading Days”) following the delivery by the Buyer to the Company or its transfer agent of a certificate representing Securities issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), such legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the Buyer or issue to the Buyer such Securities by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), if such Securities are DTC-eligible at such time, if (i) such Securities are registered for resale under the 1933 Act and the holder has provided the Company with such documents as are reasonably required by the Company in connection with the removal of the legend, including but not limited to the Buyer’s representation letter indicating an intent to sell, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, (iii) the Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation, including without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), or Rule 144A, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to such Buyer, a certificate without such legend to such holder or to issue to such Buyer such Securities by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC, if such Securities are DTC-eligible at such time, on or before the applicable Legend Removal Date, and if after such Legend Removal Date such Buyer purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Securities to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Buyer of all or any portion of the Securities that the holder anticipated receiving without legend from the Company, then the Company shall, within five Trading Days after such Buyer’s request and in such Buyer’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to such Buyer’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Securities so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such unlegended Securities shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to such Buyer such unlegended Securities as provided above and pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number Securities, times (B) any trading price of the Securities selected by such Buyer in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Legend Removal Date and the date the Company makes the applicable cash payment. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, in a form mutually acceptable to the Company and each Buyer (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). The Company represents and warrants that no (x) instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 2(g) and (y) instructions that are contradictory therewith, in each case, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent in connection with this Agreement, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and applicable law. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 2(g) will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 2(g) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 2(g), that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

(h)            Validity; Enforcement. The Buyer is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Buyer and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Buyer enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

 

(i)              No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Buyer of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and the consummation by the Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Buyer or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Buyer is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to the Buyer, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder.

No action of the Buyer in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents or the fulfillment of the terms hereof or thereof. For the past five years, the Buyer has not knowingly engaged in and is not now knowingly engaged in any dealings or transactions with any person that at the time of the dealing or transaction is or was the subject or the target of Sanctions Laws or with any Sanctioned Country.

 

3.              REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

 

The Company represents and warrants to the Buyers that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing:

 

(a)            Organization and Qualification. The Company and each of its “Subsidiaries” (which for purposes of this Agreement means any entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns any of the capital stock or holds an equity or similar interest), if any, are entities duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any fact, occurrence, circumstance, event or change that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, results of operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or on the other Transaction Documents or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, except to the extent related to: (i) a change in general political, economic, or financial market conditions (except if such conditions have had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a disproportionately adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other Persons operating in the industries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operate generally); (ii) a change that affected the industries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operate generally (except if such change has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a disproportionately adverse effect on the Company or its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other Persons operating in the industries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operate generally); (iii) the announcement or pendency of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; (iv) any changes after the date of this Agreement in GAAP or Applicable Law or the enforcement, implementation or interpretation thereof (except if such changes have had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a disproportionately adverse effect on the Company or its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other Persons operating in the industries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operate generally); (v) natural disaster, sabotage, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, rioting, looting or war (whether or not declared) or other outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof; or (vi) the failure of the Company to meet its financial projections. The Company has no Subsidiaries except as set forth in Schedule 3(a). The outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary, if any, free and clear of all liens, preemptive or similar rights, mortgages, defects, claims, pledges, charges, taxes, rights of first refusal, encumbrances, security interests and other encumbrances (collectively, “Liens”) and equities and claims; and no options, warrants or other rights to purchase, agreements or other obligations to issue or other rights to convert any obligations into shares of capital stock or ownership interests in the Subsidiaries are outstanding.

 

 

 

  5  

 

 

(b)            Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each of the other agreements entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and to issue the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and other than (i) a waiver of certain covenants in the Securities Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and Dye Capital Cann Holdings, LLC, dated June 5, 2019, as amended by the Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and Dye Capital Cann Holdings, LLC, dated July 15, 2019, as further amended by the Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and Dye Capital Cann Holdings, LLC, dated May 20, 2020 to the full extent required to give effect to the Proposed Transaction (the “Dye SPA Waiver”), (ii) a Form D with the SEC and any other filings as may be required by any state securities agencies, and (iii) the 8-K Filing (collectively, the “Required Filings and Approvals”), no further filing, consent or authorization is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(b) there are no stockholder agreements, voting agreements, or other similar arrangements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the actual knowledge after reasonable inquiry of the Company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and general counsel, but without any obligation to conduct investigation of anyone outside of the Company or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company’s Knowledge”), between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

 

(c)            Issuance of Shares. The issuance of the Shares is duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Shares shall be validly issued and free from all preemptive or similar rights (except for those which have been validly waived prior to the date hereof), taxes, liens and charges and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and the Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Preferred Stock. As of the Closing, a number of shares of Common Stock shall have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance which equals at least the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares. Upon conversion of the Shares in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, the Underlying Shares when issued will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens, charges and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to the rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

(ii)            The Company also agrees that to the extent it files any registration statement with the SEC, other than a registration statement on Form S-8, Form S-4 or Form S-3, it will prior to filing such registration statement, give the Buyers reasonable written notice in order to permit the Buyers to include in such registration statement, the resale of the Underlying Shares; provided, however, that if, solely in connection with any primary underwritten public offering for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall, in its reasonable discretion, impose a limitation on the number of Underlying Shares which may be included in such registration statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to allocate for inclusion in such registration statement the Underlying Shares of each participating holder of Underlying Shares in direct proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Underlying Shares requested to be included by such holder; provided, however, that the Buyers shall not be disproportionately negatively affected as compared to other holders of Company securities to be registered.

(iii)           The Company will promptly file and use best efforts to cause to become promptly effective such Resale Registration Statement as well as any filings required under any applicable state securities laws or regulations. The Company shall keep such Resale Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the Underlying Shares registered for resale under such Resale Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Resale Registration Statement or otherwise, or (2) such time as the Underlying Shares registered for resale under such Resale Registration Statement may be sold under Rule 144 without restriction or limitation and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1). The Buyers’ right to demand registration of the Underlying Shares shall not terminate until such time as all the Underlying Shares have been registered for resale with the SEC and the Buyers have sold or otherwise transferred to Persons not affiliated with the Buyers all of such Underlying Shares. All costs related to the preparation, filing and effectiveness of such registrations, including accounting and legal fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Buyers) shall be borne by the Company. The Company will enter into an agreement with the Buyers including customary terms and conditions for any such registration, including customary indemnification provisions.

 

(iv)           Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, the Company may, upon written notice to the Buyers, for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 45 days in the case of clauses (1) and (2) below, or 30 days in the case of clause (3) below (each, a “Suspension Period”), delay the filing of a Resale Registration Statement or a request for acceleration of the effective date, or suspend the effectiveness of any Resale Registration Statement, in the event that (1) the Company is engaged in any activity or transaction or preparations or negotiations for any activity or transaction that the Company desires to keep confidential for business reasons, if the Company’s board of directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgement that the public disclosure requirements imposed on the Company under the Securities Act in connection with the Resale Registration Statement would require at that time disclosure of such activity, transaction, preparations or negotiations and such disclosure could result in material harm to the Company or its business transactions or activities, (2) the Company does not yet have appropriate financial statements of any acquired or to be acquired entities necessary for filing, or (3) any other event occurs that makes any statement of a material fact made in such Resale Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue or that requires the making of any additions or changes in the Resale Registration Statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Company may not invoke its right to suspend or delay a registration statement pursuant to this Section 4(m)(iv) more than twice in any twelve month period. If the Company suspends the effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 4(m)(iv), the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the termination of the circumstance which entitled the Company to do so, take such actions as may be necessary to reinstate the effectiveness of such Resale Registration Statement and give written notice to the applicable Buyers authorizing the applicable Buyers to resume offerings and sales pursuant to such Resale Registration Statement.

 

(v)            It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to file or effect any Resale Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 4(m) that each Buyer who desires to include Underlying Shares in such Resale Registration Statement shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Company securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Underlying Shares held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Resale Registration Statement and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

(vi)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to (1) effect a registration pursuant to this Section 4(m) within 90 days after the effective date of a previous registration; (2) effect a registration pursuant to this Section 4(m) unless the request is for a number of shares of Common Stock with a market value that is equal to at least $3,000,000 as of the date of such request; (3) effect a registration if the Company has effected two registrations on a Resale Registration Statement in the 12-month period prior to such request, or (4) file or effect a Resale Registration Statement with respect to any Underlying Shares subject to a registration demand that may be sold under Rule 144 without restriction or limitation and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) limitation.

 

(n)            Closing Documents. On or prior to 14 calendar days after each Closing, the Company agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Buyers a complete closing set of the executed Transaction Documents and any other documents required to be delivered to any party hereto pursuant to Section 6 hereof or otherwise.

 

 

 

  21  

 

 

(o)            Equity Incentive Plan Limitation. For as long as any Buyer holds any Shares, without the prior written consent of Buyers holding at least a majority of the then-outstanding Shares, the Company shall not have issued and outstanding awards under any equity incentive plan for the issuance of shares of Common Stock representing more than 12% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis, excluding warrants) in the aggregate.

 

(p)            Regulation M. The Company will not take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the 1934 Act, in connection with the distribution of the Securities contemplated hereby.

 

(q)            General Solicitation. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act) or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will solicit any offer to buy or offer or sell the Preferred Stock by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D, including: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio; and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

(r)             Integration. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act), or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the 1933 Act) which will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act or require stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market and the Company will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities will not be integrated for purposes of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, with the issuance of Securities contemplated hereby.

 

(s)            Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account with a FINRA registered broker/dealer or other loan or financing arrangement with an Accredited Investor secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and if the Buyer effects such a pledge of Securities it shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, this Section 2(f).

8.              MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)           Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Nevada. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(b)            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile or .pdf signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.

 

(c)            Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

 

 

 

  24  

 

 

(d)           Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

(e)            Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Buyers makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Buyers holding a majority of the then-outstanding Shares, and any amendment or waiver to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 8(e) shall be binding on all holders of Securities and the Company; provided, however, that no amendment shall be effective against any Buyer that is disproportionately affected by such amendment as compared to any other Buyer without such Buyer’s written consent; provided, further, that no amendment requiring any Buyer to purchase additional Securities shall be effective against a Buyer without such Buyer’s written consent; provided, further, that no waiver of the provisions of Section 6(a) shall be effective against a Buyer without such Buyer’s written consent. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the applicable Securities then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents; provided, however, for clarity, any Person’s participation in a subsequent securities offering of the Company shall not be consideration for this purpose. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with the Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, the Buyers has not made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise. Whenever this Agreement requires the consent or approval of the holders of the Preferred Stock, unless otherwise expressly and specifically set forth in this Agreement, such consent or approval shall require the approval of the Buyers holding a majority of the then-outstanding Shares.

 

(f)             Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon delivery, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party) or by electronic mail; (iii) upon delivery, when sent by electronic mail (provided that the sending party does not receive an automated rejection notice); or (iv) upon receipt, when sent by overnight courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

A Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company.

 

(h)            No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

 

(i)             Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 7, the covenants and agreements of the Company and the Buyer shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder. The representations and warranties of the Company shall survive the Closing until the two year anniversary thereof.

 

(j)              Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(k)            Indemnification.

 

(i)             In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, other than special, exemplary, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including lost profits, diminution in value, damage to reputation or the like unless any such damages are awarded to a third party, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (x) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary in this Agreement, or (y) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in this Agreement or (z) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Resale Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Indemnified Liabilities (A) arise primarily out of or is based primarily upon the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by such Buyer in this Agreement or (B) are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by a Buyer expressly for use in a Resale Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company’s aggregate liability under this Section 8(k) to any Indemnitee shall not exceed the Purchase Price paid by the applicable Buyer.

 

 

 

  26  

 

 

(ii)            Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 8(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8(k), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (x) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (y) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (z) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the indemnifying party, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party), provided further that in the case of clause (z) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such Indemnified Liability. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 8(k), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (A) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitees against the indemnifying party or others, and (B) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

(l)              Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. Each party hereto agrees that such party and/or its legal counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

 

(m)           Remedies. The Buyers and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

 

 

 

  27  

 

 

(n)            Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) this Agreement, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under this Agreement and the Company or any Subsidiary does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

(o)           Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to a Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or a Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

(p)            Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceedings for such purpose. Each Buyer has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Buyers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Buyers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and the Buyer, solely, and not between the Company and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

 

(q)            Enforcement Fees. The prevailing party in any dispute under or relating to this Agreement shall have the right to collect from the other all costs and expenses incurred by such prevailing party as a result of enforcement of this Agreement and the collection of any amounts owed to such prevailing party hereunder (whether in cash, equity or otherwise), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Exhibit 10.3

 

MEDICINE MAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

 

December 16, 2020

 

 

Dye Capital Cann Holdings II, LLC

 

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

 

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) will confirm our agreement that as a condition to your entering into the Purchase Agreement (defined below) and pursuant to and effective upon the closing of your purchase (the “Purchase”) of up to 13,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), Dye Capital Cann Holdings II, LLC (the “Investor”) shall be entitled to the contractual rights set forth below, in addition to the rights specifically set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 2020 by and among the Company and the investors that are party thereto, as amended by the Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the Certificate of Designation of the Company that is attached as Exhibit A to the Purchase Agreement (the “Certificate of Designation”). Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Purchase Agreement or, if applicable, the Certificate of Designation.

 

1. Board Nomination Rights.

 

(a)            The Company shall take all actions to ensure that from and after the Closing Date and for so long as the Investor meets the Ownership Threshold (as defined below), one individual designated by the Investor shall be appointed to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) if the Board consists of five or fewer members and two individuals designated by the Investor shall be appointed to the Board if the Board consists of more than five members (each an “Investor Designee”). For purposes hereof, “Ownership Threshold” means that the Investor owns, in the aggregate, at least $10,000,000 of Preferred Stock, on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, as of any date of determination, based on the 30-Day Trailing VWAP (as defined below); provided, however, that the Ownership Threshold shall automatically be deemed to be satisfied at any time the Buyer holds at least 10,000 (as such amount may be adjusted for stock splits, subdivisions, combinations and the like) shares of Common Stock. For purposes hereof, “30-Day Trailing VWAP” means, as of any date of determination, the volume-weighted average price per share of Common Stock on the exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded during the regular trading session (and excluding pre-market and after-hours trading) over the thirty (30) consecutive trading days prior to and including such determination date. The Investor’s initial Investor Designee shall be Pratap Muharji (the “Initial Designee”). On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause the appointment to the Board of the Initial Designee effective as of the Closing Date, and thereafter, for so long as the Investor’s Board nomination right under this Section 1 continues, the Company will use its best efforts to ensure that each Investor Designee is elected to the Board (including recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of such designees, soliciting proxies and contesting any proxy contest and otherwise supporting such designees for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees); provided that if the Investor determines to designate a different individual (“Replacement Designee”) as an Investor Designee, such obligation shall instead apply to such Replacement Designee. If an Investor Designee ceases to be a director of the Company, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause the appointment to the Board of a Replacement Designee nominated by the Investor to fill the vacancy and thereafter the Company will use its best efforts to cause the election of such an individual to the Board, subject to the same conditions and limitations as set forth in the foregoing sentence. Each Investor Designee shall be entitled to the level of compensation, directors’ and officers’ indemnity insurance coverage and indemnity and exculpation protection (including under any indemnification agreement) as the other members of the Board in their capacities as directors. Each Investor Designee shall be entitled to the same level of directors’ and officers’ indemnity insurance coverage and indemnity and exculpation protection (including under any indemnification agreement) as the other members of the Board. As promptly as practicable, and for so long as an Investor Designee serves on the Company’s board of directors, the Company shall maintain in place directors’ and officers’ indemnity insurance coverage in an amount and on terms deemed reasonably acceptable to the Investor Designees, but no less than $2 million of coverage per director.

 

 

 

  1  

 

 

(b)            For so long as the Investor is entitled to designate Investor Designees for election to the Board under this letter agreement, each committee of the Board shall include at least one Investor Designee as a member or, if the Investor so elects, as an observer; provided, however, that if such Investor Designee is not eligible for membership on any given committee of the Board under then applicable listing and corporate governance standards of a trading exchange or any Applicable Law, then such committee shall include such Investor Designee as an observer only; provided, further, that the Company shall exercise all authority under Applicable Law to permit the inclusion of such Investor Designee on such committee, including, without limitation, by causing an increase in the number of directors on such committee.

 

(c)            Any Investor Designee shall take all action reasonably requested by the Company, at the Company’s cost and expense, to comply with applicable state cannabis laws and regulations, including, without limitation, making all requisite filings under such laws and regulations as and when requested by the Company and the Investor Designee shall, at the Company’s cost and expense, reasonably cooperate with the Company with respect to any report, filing, notification or other communication with or to any state governmental authority related to the Company’s licenses, approvals, consents or obligations under state cannabis laws and regulations related to such Investor Designee’s capacity as director of the Company, including, without limitation, any investigation or inquiry by a state governmental authority related to any of the foregoing. If an Investor Designee is determined to be unsuitable or disqualified to serve on the Board by a state governmental authority, including, without limitation, the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division, such Investor Designee shall immediately resign from the Board and the Investor shall be entitled to appoint a Replacement Designee in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(a) above.

 

2.              This Agreement and the rights, privileges and obligations herein are personal to the Investor and may not be assigned, transferred, subcontracted or delegated (in whole or in part) by the Investor, including by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the Company.

 

3.              Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, this Agreement and the rights described herein, other than the last three sentences of Section 1(a) above and Sections 2 through 4, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of: (a) a Listing Event; or (b) a Change of Control Transaction.

 

4.              The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a Transaction Document as such term is defined under the Purchase Agreement.

Re: Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Offering

 

Reference is made to the Securities Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and Dye Capital Cann Holdings, LLC, dated June 5, 2019, as amended by the Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and Dye Capital Cann Holdings, LLC, dated July 15, 2019, as further amended by the Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and Dye Capital Cann Holdings, LLC, dated May 20, 2020 (as so amended, the “SPA”).

 

In connection with (i) the Company’s offering and closing of the sale of shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) in a private placement (the “Offering”) pursuant to (a) the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 2020, as amended by the Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated the date hereof in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Preferred Stock SPA”) and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Preferred Stock SPA), (b) the Confidential Offering Memorandum, dated November 6, 2020 and (c) the Certificate of Designation (as defined in the Preferred Stock SPA) for the Preferred Stock, and (ii) execution of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note and Security Agreement between the Company and Dye Capital & Company, LLC (the “Convertible Note”), pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Dye Capital & Company, LLC (the “NPA”), the undersigned hereby consents to the Offering and the Convertible Note and, solely to the extent required so that the Offering of the Preferred Stock may be consummated on the terms set forth in the Preferred Stock SPA and the Convertible Note may be issued pursuant to the NPA (and any Qualified Securities (as defined in the Convertible Note) may be issued pursuant to the Convertible Note), waives its rights under Section 4(m) and Section 10(c) of the SPA. The waivers provided hereunder are conditioned upon the Closing (as defined in the Preferred Stock SPA and the NPA) and are limited solely to the Offering and issuance of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the Preferred Stock SPA and the issuance of the Convertible Note pursuant to the NPA (and the issuance of any Qualified Securities pursuant to the Convertible Note) and do not constitute a waiver of any other provision under the SPA or a waiver in respect of any other offering of securities or any other transaction in respect of the Company.

 

As consideration for entering into this Consent, Waiver and Amendment, the first sentence of Section 9(a) of the SPA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following sentences:

 

“The Company shall take all actions to ensure that from the Initial Closing Date through the later of (i) the date that is two years from the last Closing Date to occur hereunder or (ii) the date that the Buyer no longer meets the Ownership Threshold (as defined below), two individuals designated by the Buyer (each, a “Buyer Designee”) shall be appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company. For purposes hereof, “Ownership Threshold” means that the Buyer owns, in the aggregate, at least $10,000,000 of Common Stock as of any date of determination, based on the 30-Day Trailing VWAP (as defined below); provided, however, that the Ownership Threshold shall automatically be deemed to be satisfied at any time the Buyer holds at least 8,333,333 (as such amount may be adjusted for stock splits, subdivisions, combinations and the like) shares of Common Stock. For purposes hereof, “30-Day Trailing VWAP” means, as of any date of determination, the volume-weighted average price per share of Common Stock on the exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded during the regular trading session (and excluding pre-market and after-hours trading) over the thirty (30) consecutive trading days prior to and including such determination date.”
