The aggregate purchase price for the assets of the Starbuds Group is approximately $118 million, subject to adjustment upon the closing of the Purchase based on, among other things, the target inventory as opposed to actual inventory and target working capital as opposed to net working capital of each member of the Starbuds Group, and will be payable to the Starbuds Group and the Members as a combination of cash, shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants. The Purchaser will not assume any liabilities of the Starbuds Group other than accounts payable by the Starbuds Group, liabilities in respect of any contractual arrangements assigned to the Purchaser by the Starbuds Group, and liabilities in connection with administrative fees associated with obtaining necessary governmental approvals or waivers of such approvals.
On December 17, 2020, pursuant to the applicable APA, the Company and the Purchaser closed on the acquisition of (i) Starbuds Pueblo LLC; and (ii) Starbuds Alameda LLC. On December 18, 2020, pursuant to the applicable APA, the Company and the Purchaser closed on the acquisition of (i) Starbuds Commerce City LLC; (ii) Lucky Ticket LLC; (iii) Starbuds Niwot LLC; and (iv) LM MJC LLC.

The Company funded the aggregate cash portion of the purchase price for each Starbuds Company who was acquired on December 17, 2020 and December 18, 2020 from proceeds received as disclosed in its December 22, 2020 8-k filing. Mr. Brian Ruden, a member of the Board, has an ownership interest in each Starbuds Company who was acquired on December 17, 2020 and December 18, 2020.
The foregoing summary of Omnibus Amendment No. 2 and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of Omnibus Amendment No. 2 filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Omnibus Amendment No. 2 has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or any Starbuds Company, their respective businesses, or the actual conduct of their respective businesses during the period prior to the consummation of the Purchase. Omnibus Amendment No. 2 contains representations and warranties that are the product of negotiations among the parties thereto, and that the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, each other as of specified dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties and are also qualified in important part by other confidential materials delivered in connection with Omnibus Amendment No. 2. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreements instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in Omnibus Amendment No. 2 may not constitute the actual state of facts about the Company or any Starbuds Company.

In consideration of the foregoing and the respective covenants and agreements set forth in this Amendment and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

2. Closing Cash Payment. The reference in Section 3.2(b) of each Star Buds APA to “66.67%” is hereby replaced with “50.0%”.
3. Deferred Cash Payment. Section 3.3 of each Star Buds APA is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety with the following:
“Section 3.3 Post-Closing Payments
(a) On or prior to the sixty (60)-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Deferred Cash Payment Date”), Buyer will pay to Seller or, to the extent designated by Seller in writing and in accordance with Section 3.11, to the Members in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages, the remaining 50.0% of the Closing Cash Consideration, as finally determined in accordance with Section 3.4 (the “Deferred Cash Payment”), via wire transfer to the Seller’s Bank Account or the Member Bank Accounts, as applicable.
(b) The Deferred Cash Payment (as may be reduced by a prepayment in accordance with this Section 3.3(b)) will bear simple interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum, which interest will be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month (“Interest Payments”). All Interest Payments will be made by Buyer via wire transfer to the Seller’s Bank Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Deferred Cash Payment may be prepaid in part or in full to Seller at any time prior to the Deferred Cash Payment Date, in which case (i) the amount of interest due on the date of such prepayment will be calculated based on the number of days elapsed in the applicable month and (ii) any subsequent Interest Payment (if the Deferred Cash Payment is prepaid in part rather than in whole) will be adjusted based on the remaining, unpaid amount of the Deferred Cash Payment. Any partial payments will go first toward accrued but unpaid Interest Payments and then to the remaining, unpaid amount of the Deferred Cash Payment.

(c) Payment of the Deferred Cash Payment and Interest Payments shall be secured by the assets of Parent and Buyer on the terms, and subject to the conditions, of a security agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Security Agreement”).

Nothing herein shall prohibit any such Person from (i) operating a competing business outside the Geographic Area of Interest; (ii) being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation that is publicly traded, so long as Seller or such Member has no active participation in the business of such corporation that competes directly with the Business, specifically any retail marijuana store in the Geographic Area of Interest; (iii) participating, owning, managing, operating, being employed by, advising or consulting for or to any company, person or business that is outside the Geographic Area of Interest; or (iv) participating in any activity set forth on Schedule 8.6(c).
(d) As a material inducement to Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, from the Closing Date through the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-solicit Restricted Period”), Seller and each Member (i) shall not, and shall cause their respective employees, officers, directors, managers, agents and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly contact, approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) or actually hire any Person employed by Buyer or its Affiliates (or any successor to the Business) as a manager, assistant manager, officer or other management level employee within the Geographic Area of Interest; provided, however, that this Section 8.6(d) shall not prohibit any such Person from (w) conducting any general solicitations in a newspaper, trade publication or other periodical or web posting not specifically targeted at any Person employed by Buyer or its Affiliates (or any successor to the Business), (x) participating in job fairs, career fairs or similar recruiting events, (y) hiring any Person employed outside the Geographic Area of Interest or (z) inducing or attempting to induce any customer or other business relation of the Business outside the Geographic Area of Interest.”
(b) In the event (i) the Restrictive Covenant Amendment occurs and (ii) the Buyer subsequently closes all of the transactions contemplated in all of the Star Buds APAs, then the Restrictive Covenant Amendment will be unwound by replacing Section 8.6(c) and Section 8.6(d) of the Star Buds APAs as amended by the Restrictive Covenant Amendment with Section 8.6(c) and Section 8.6(d) of the Star Buds APAs as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Restrictive Covenant Amendment and Section 11(a) hereof will no longer be effective.
