Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On December 21, 2021, Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the closing of the Smoking Gun Asset Purchase (as defined below). A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the press release attached as Exhibits 99.1 are being furnished by the Company pursuant to Item 7.01. In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section. In addition, this information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Matters.

 

Closing of Smoking Gun Asset Purchase

 

On December 21, 2021, the Company completed its previously announced asset purchase from Smoking Gun, LLC (“Smoking Gun”) and Smoking Gun Land Company, LLC (“SG Land”), pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, dated November 13, 2021 (the “Smoking Gun APA”), with Double Brow, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”), Smoking Gun, SG Land, and Deborah Dunafon, Ralph Riggs, George Miller, Lindsey Mintz, Terry Grossman and Annette Gilman (collectively, the “Members”).

 

At the closing, the Purchaser purchased (i) all of Smoking Gun’s assets used or held for use in Smoking Gun’s business of distributing and marketing recreational cannabis products through Smoking Gun’s retail marijuana store located in Glendale, Colorado, and (ii) all of SG Land’s tangible and intangible assets related to certain leased property which included, but was not limited to, fixtures, furniture and equipment related to the leased property on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Smoking Gun APA (the “Smoking Gun Asset Purchase”), and assume obligations under contracts acquired as part of the Smoking Gun Asset Purchase.

 

The aggregate closing consideration for the Smoking Gun Asset Purchase was $4 million in cash and 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company held back $100,000 of the cash consideration and deposited it with an escrow agent as collateral for potential claims for indemnification from Smoking Gun under the Smoking Gun APA. Any portion of the held back cash consideration not used to satisfy indemnification claims will be released to Smoking Gun on December 21, 2022. The Company funded the cash portion of the closing consideration from the net proceeds of the Company’s recent issuance and sale of 13% senior secured convertible notes due December 7, 2026 as previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 9, 2021.

 

The Company entered into mutually agreeable lock-up agreements with the recipients of the stock consideration providing limitations on the resale of the shares of Company common stock received as part of the consideration.

 

The issuances of the shares of common stock was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company issued the shares in a privately negotiated transaction and the Members acquired the securities for their own accounts for investment purposes. A legend was placed on the certificates representing shares of common stock referencing the restricted nature of the shares.

 

Star Buds Acquisition Security Agreements

 

As previously reported, between December 17, 2020 and March 2, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of various assets in a series of transactions that the Company collectively refers to as the “Star Buds acquisition.” The Company previously reported the terms of the applicable acquisition agreements and the consummation of the Star Buds acquisition in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on June 8, 2020, September 21, 2020, December 23, 2020, February 9, 2021 and March 8, 2021. As previously reported, part of the consideration for the Star Buds acquisition consisted of deferred cash, also referred to as “seller notes,” and the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary SBUD LLC entered into a total of thirteen security agreements with the sellers in the Star Buds acquisition at the separate closings pursuant to which the Company and SBUD LLC granted security interests in substantially all of their respective assets to the sellers. The Company is attaching copies of the security agreements to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Update to Risk Factors

 

If we are unable to service or repay our indebtedness when due, the applicable lenders may execute on the collateral.

 

We and our subsidiaries are either borrowers or guarantors of indebtedness owed under (i) a Loan Agreement, as amended, with SHWZ Altmore, LLC, as lender, and GGG Partners LLC, as collateral agent, (ii) the seller notes associated with the purchase of the Star Buds assets by SBUD LLC, and (iii) our 13% senior secured convertible notes due December 7, 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes provide that on the fourth anniversary of the issuance date, the Note holders will have the right to require us to repurchase some or all of their Notes for cash in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the date of repurchase. This indebtedness, as a whole, is secured by substantially all current and future assets of ours and our subsidiaries. If the borrowers and we are unable to pay the debt service or repay the indebtedness when due, the lenders may, among other remedies, sell the collateral and use the proceeds to satisfy amounts owed under the indebtedness.

The Security Interest granted in the foregoing clause (b), in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000, will be and hereby expressly is subordinated and junior only to the security interest in the Parent Collateral granted to the Senior Lender in connection with indebtedness in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (the “Senior Lien”).

Section 2.2             Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) the Security Interest will not include, and the payment, performance and discharge of the Post-Closing Obligations will not be secured by any, (i) Regulatory Licenses or (ii) marijuana products, including marijuana flower, trim, concentrate or infused product (“Marijuana Inventory”), in each case, with respect to which the grant or enforcement (including transfer of ownership or possession) of the Security Interest on such Regulatory Licenses or Marijuana Inventory by the Company to the Secured Party is prohibited by, or would result in the violation of, applicable State of Colorado cannabis laws or the terms of any Regulatory License, provided, however, that the foregoing clause (a) will in no way be construed so as to limit, impair or otherwise affect the Secured Party’s continuing Security Interest upon any rights or interests of the Company in or to proceeds received by the Company resulting from the Regulatory License or Marijuana Inventory; and (b) this Agreement will not limit or restrict the Company’s right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Marijuana Inventory or other Collateral in the ordinary course of business.

Each Company hereby represents and warrants that: (a) the Company’s legal name (as set forth in its constituent documents filed with the appropriate governmental official or agency) is as set forth in the opening paragraph hereof; (b) the jurisdiction of organization of Buyer is the State of Colorado and of Parent is Nevada; (c) the chief place of business of the Companies is located at the address set forth in Section 3.3; (d) the Companies collectively have title to each item of Collateral (including the proceeds and products thereof), free and clear of all liens except for the Security Interest and Permitted Liens; (e) as of the date of execution of this Agreement, no effective financing statement or other similar document used to perfect and preserve a security interest under the laws of any jurisdiction covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Senior Lender, the Secured Party or in connection with the Star Buds Security Interests; (f) each Company has the full power, authority and legal right to grant the Security Interest in the Collateral owned by it; and (g) this Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid security interest in the Collateral, securing the Post-Closing Payment Obligations.

Section 2.4              Covenants. Each Company covenants as follows:

 

(a)           Names, Offices, Locations, Jurisdiction of Organization. The Company will not locate or relocate any item of Collateral into any jurisdiction in which an additional financing statement would be required to be filed to maintain the Secured Party’s perfected security interest in such Collateral. The Company will not change its name, the location of its chief place of business or its organizational structure (including without limitation, its jurisdiction of organization).

 

(b)           Title to Collateral. The Company will have at the time it acquires rights in Collateral hereafter acquired or arising and will maintain so long as the Security Interest may remain outstanding, title to each item of Collateral (including the proceeds and products thereof), free and clear of all liens except for the Security Interest and Permitted Liens. The Company will not license any Collateral. The Company will defend the Collateral against all claims or demands of all Persons (other than the Secured Party and any other party secured by the Star Buds Security Interests) claiming the Collateral or any interest therein.

 

(c)           Maintenance of Collateral. The Company will use its reasonable efforts (1) to maintain the Collateral in good repair and working order consistent with customary business practices, (2) to insure the Collateral against casualty and other risks consistent with industry practices, (3) to pay and discharge all taxes, levies and costs of maintenance and repair in the ordinary course of business; and (4) to timely pay all rent or mortgage payments of any kind as applicable to any real property upon which any part of the Collateral is located. The Company hereby assigns to the Secured Party all rights to any proceeds of any insurance procured under this Section 2.4(c), and authorizes the Secured Party to receive such payments and execute any and all documents required to receive such payments, but in no event in excess of such Secured Party’s Pro Rata Base Price Amount (as defined in the Second Omnibus Amendment).

 

(d)           Disposition of Collateral. The Company will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, or discount or factor with or without recourse, any Collateral, except for the Marijuana Inventory in the ordinary course of the Business.

 

(e)            Taxes and Claims. The Company will promptly pay all taxes and other governmental charges levied or assessed upon or against any Collateral or upon or against the creation, perfection or continuance of the Security Interest, as well as all other claims of any kind (including claims for labor, material and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except to the extent (a) such taxes, charges or claims are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) such proceedings do not involve any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Collateral or any interest therein and (c)  such taxes, charges or claims are adequately reserved against on the Company’s books in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

(f)             Books and Records. The Company will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral.

 

(g)            Notice of Loss. The Company will promptly notify the Secured Party of any loss of or material damage to any material item of Collateral or of any substantial adverse change, known to Company, in any material item of Collateral.

 

(h)           Further Assurances. The Company agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral in accordance with applicable law (but any failure to request or assure that the Company execute and deliver such instrument or documents or to take such action shall not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed and delivered or action taken in a similar context or on a prior occasion). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will, promptly and from time to time at the request of the Secured Party, authorize such financing statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured Party may reasonably request and shall, with respect to actions that a debtor, but not a secured party, may take, make such filings with any Government Authority as may be reasonably necessary, in each case in order to perfect or preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

 

 

 

  3  

 

 

Section 2.5             Perfection of Collateral. The Secured Party may at any time during the Term (as defined herein) file UCC financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral and contain any information required by the UCC or the applicable filing office with respect to any such UCC financing statement, continuation statement or amendment thereof. The Company irrevocably waives any right to notice of any such filing. Upon the reasonable request of the Secured Party, the Company will execute and deliver, and file and record in the proper filing and recording places, as applicable, all such documents, and will take all such other action, as is reasonably necessary for perfecting the Security Interest in the Collateral.

 

Section 2.6             Remedies on Default. Upon the Company’s failure to pay any Post-Closing Payment Obligation when due (an “Event of Default”) and at any time thereafter, subject to Section 2.1 (including the limitations set forth in the intercreditor agreement(s) referenced therein) and Section 2.2, the Secured Party may do any or all of the following: (a) declare all Post-Closing Payment Obligations immediately due and payable; and (b) exercise and enforce any and all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Colorado. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (x) to incur or fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed necessary by the Secured Party to prepare the Collateral for disposition; (y) if permitted by applicable law, to dispose of the Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; or (z) to purchase insurance covering the Collateral.

 

ARTICLE 3 MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 3.1             Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest will terminate on the date on which the Post-Closing Payment Obligations have been satisfied in full pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Term”). Upon any such termination, the Secured Party shall execute and deliver to the Company, at the Company’s expense, such documents (including UCC-3 termination statements) as the Company reasonably requests, the form and substance of which will be reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, to evidence such termination of the Security Interest.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver with respect to this Agreement will be enforceable unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure to exercise, delay in exercising, or single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any party, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties, will constitute a waiver of, or will preclude any other or further exercise of, any right, power or remedy.

Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by a party hereto will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by email of a .pdf document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third (3rd) Business Day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

The Company will not change its name, the location of its chief place of business or its organizational structure (including without limitation, its jurisdiction of organization).

 

(b)           Title to Collateral.

The Company will not license any Collateral. The Company will defend the Collateral against all claims or demands of all Persons (other than the Secured Party and any other party secured by the Star Buds Security Interests) claiming the Collateral or any interest therein.

 

(c)           Maintenance of Collateral. The Company will use its reasonable efforts (1) to maintain the Collateral in good repair and working order consistent with customary business practices, (2) to insure the Collateral against casualty and other risks consistent with industry practices, (3) to pay and discharge all taxes, levies and costs of maintenance and repair in the ordinary course of business; and (4) to timely pay all rent or mortgage payments of any kind as applicable to any real property upon which any part of the Collateral is located.

(h)           Further Assurances. The Company agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral in accordance with applicable law (but any failure to request or assure that the Company execute and deliver such instrument or documents or to take such action shall not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed and delivered or action taken in a similar context or on a prior occasion). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will, promptly and from time to time at the request of the Secured Party, authorize such financing statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured Party may reasonably request and shall, with respect to actions that a debtor, but not a secured party, may take, make such filings with any Government Authority as may be reasonably necessary, in each case in order to perfect or preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

The Company irrevocably waives any right to notice of any such filing.

To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (x) to incur or fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed necessary by the Secured Party to prepare the Collateral for disposition; (y) if permitted by applicable law, to dispose of the Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; or (z) to purchase insurance covering the Collateral.

Section 2.6             Remedies on Default.

ARTICLE 2 SECURITY INTEREST

 

Section 2.1             Grant of Subordinated Security Interest. To secure the timely payment of the Post- Closing Payment Obligations, (a) the Buyer hereby grants to the Secured Party a continuing, first priority security interest in all of the Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to all presently existing and hereafter acquired Buyer Collateral and (b) the Parent hereby grants to the Secured Party a continuing, second priority security interest in all of the Parent’s right, title and interest in and to all presently existing and hereafter acquired Parent Collateral (clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Security Interest”), which Security Interest is subject to and pari passu with the security interest granted by the Companies pursuant to the other Star Buds Security Interests. The Security Interest granted in the foregoing clause (b), in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000, will be and hereby expressly is subordinated and junior only to the security interest in the Parent Collateral granted to the Senior Lender in connection with indebtedness in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (the “Senior Lien”). The Secured Party agrees, on written request of Parent, to enter into an intercreditor agreement in form and substance that is commercially reasonable to the Secured Party and the Senior Lender in connection with such subordination. The Parent agrees to cause existing and future lienholders other than holders of Permitted Liens to enter into an intercreditor agreement in form and substance that is commercially reasonable to the Buyer in connection with the subordination of the existing lienholders’ security interests in the Parent Collateral.

 

Section 2.2             Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) the Security Interest will not include, and the payment, performance and discharge of the Post-Closing Obligations will not be secured by any, (i) Regulatory Licenses or (ii) marijuana products, including marijuana flower, trim, concentrate or infused product (“Marijuana Inventory”), in each case, with respect to which the grant or enforcement (including transfer of ownership or possession) of the Security Interest on such Regulatory Licenses or Marijuana Inventory by the Company to the Secured Party is prohibited by, or would result in the violation of, applicable State of Colorado cannabis laws or the terms of any Regulatory License, provided, however, that the foregoing clause (a) will in no way be construed so as to limit, impair or otherwise affect the Secured Party’s continuing Security Interest upon any rights or interests of the Company in or to proceeds received by the Company resulting from the Regulatory License or Marijuana Inventory; and (b) this Agreement will not limit or restrict the Company’s right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Marijuana Inventory or other Collateral in the ordinary course of business.

 

Section 2.3             Representations and Warranties. Each Company hereby represents and warrants that: (a) the Company’s legal name (as set forth in its constituent documents filed with the appropriate governmental official or agency) is as set forth in the opening paragraph hereof; (b) the jurisdiction of organization of Buyer is the State of Colorado and of Parent is Nevada; (c) the chief place of business of the Companies is located at the address set forth in Section 3.3; (d) the Companies collectively have title to each item of Collateral (including the proceeds and products thereof), free and clear of all liens except for the Security Interest and Permitted Liens; (e) as of the date of execution of this Agreement, no effective financing statement or other similar document used to perfect and preserve a security interest under the laws of any jurisdiction covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Senior Lender, the Secured Party or in connection with the Star Buds Security Interests; (f) each Company has the full power, authority and legal right to grant the Security Interest in the Collateral owned by it; and (g) this Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid security interest in the Collateral, securing the Post-Closing Payment Obligations.

Section 2.4              Covenants. Each Company covenants as follows:

 

(a)           Names, Offices, Locations, Jurisdiction of Organization. The Company will not locate or relocate any item of Collateral into any jurisdiction in which an additional financing statement would be required to be filed to maintain the Secured Party’s perfected security interest in such Collateral. The Company will not change its name, the location of its chief place of business or its organizational structure (including without limitation, its jurisdiction of organization).

 

(b)           Title to Collateral. The Company will have at the time it acquires rights in Collateral hereafter acquired or arising and will maintain so long as the Security Interest may remain outstanding, title to each item of Collateral (including the proceeds and products thereof), free and clear of all liens except for the Security Interest and Permitted Liens. The Company will not license any Collateral. The Company will defend the Collateral against all claims or demands of all Persons (other than the Secured Party and any other party secured by the Star Buds Security Interests) claiming the Collateral or any interest therein.

 

(c)           Maintenance of Collateral. The Company will use its reasonable efforts (1) to maintain the Collateral in good repair and working order consistent with customary business practices, (2) to insure the Collateral against casualty and other risks consistent with industry practices, (3) to pay and discharge all taxes, levies and costs of maintenance and repair in the ordinary course of business; and (4) to timely pay all rent or mortgage payments of any kind as applicable to any real property upon which any part of the Collateral is located. The Company hereby assigns to the Secured Party all rights to any proceeds of any insurance procured under this Section 2.4(c), and authorizes the Secured Party to receive such payments and execute any and all documents required to receive such payments, but in no event in excess of such Secured Party’s Pro Rata Base Price Amount (as defined in the Second Omnibus Amendment).

 

(d)           Disposition of Collateral. The Company will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, or discount or factor with or without recourse, any Collateral, except for the Marijuana Inventory in the ordinary course of the Business.

 

(e)            Taxes and Claims. The Company will promptly pay all taxes and other governmental charges levied or assessed upon or against any Collateral or upon or against the creation, perfection or continuance of the Security Interest, as well as all other claims of any kind (including claims for labor, material and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except to the extent (a) such taxes, charges or claims are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) such proceedings do not involve any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Collateral or any interest therein and (c)  such taxes, charges or claims are adequately reserved against on the Company’s books in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

(f)             Books and Records. The Company will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral.

 

(g)            Notice of Loss. The Company will promptly notify the Secured Party of any loss of or material damage to any material item of Collateral or of any substantial adverse change, known to Company, in any material item of Collateral.

 

(h)           Further Assurances. The Company agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral in accordance with applicable law (but any failure to request or assure that the Company execute and deliver such instrument or documents or to take such action shall not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed and delivered or action taken in a similar context or on a prior occasion). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will, promptly and from time to time at the request of the Secured Party, authorize such financing statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured Party may reasonably request and shall, with respect to actions that a debtor, but not a secured party, may take, make such filings with any Government Authority as may be reasonably necessary, in each case in order to perfect or preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

Section 2.5             Perfection of Collateral.

The Company irrevocably waives any right to notice of any such filing. Upon the reasonable request of the Secured Party, the Company will execute and deliver, and file and record in the proper filing and recording places, as applicable, all such documents, and will take all such other action, as is reasonably necessary for perfecting the Security Interest in the Collateral.

 

Section 2.6             Remedies on Default. Upon the Company’s failure to pay any Post-Closing Payment Obligation when due (an “Event of Default”) and at any time thereafter, subject to Section 2.1 (including the limitations set forth in the intercreditor agreement(s) referenced therein) and Section 2.2, the Secured Party may do any or all of the following: (a) declare all Post-Closing Payment Obligations immediately due and payable; and (b) exercise and enforce any and all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Colorado. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (x) to incur or fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed necessary by the Secured Party to prepare the Collateral for disposition; (y) if permitted by applicable law, to dispose of the Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; or (z) to purchase insurance covering the Collateral.

 

ARTICLE 3 MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 3.1             Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest will terminate on the date on which the Post-Closing Payment Obligations have been satisfied in full pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Term”).

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver with respect to this Agreement will be enforceable unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure to exercise, delay in exercising, or single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any party, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties, will constitute a waiver of, or will preclude any other or further exercise of, any right, power or remedy.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will, promptly and from time to time at the request of the Secured Party, authorize such financing statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured Party may reasonably request and shall, with respect to actions that a debtor, but not a secured party, may take, make such filings with any Government Authority as may be reasonably necessary, in each case in order to perfect or preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

ARTICLE 2 SECURITY INTEREST

 

Section 2.1             Grant of Subordinated Security Interest. To secure the timely payment of the Post- Closing Payment Obligations, (a) the Buyer hereby grants to the Secured Party a continuing, first priority security interest in all of the Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to all presently existing and hereafter acquired Buyer Collateral and (b) the Parent hereby grants to the Secured Party a continuing, second priority security interest in all of the Parent’s right, title and interest in and to all presently existing and hereafter acquired Parent Collateral (clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Security Interest”), which Security Interest is subject to and pari passu with the security interest granted by the Companies pursuant to the other Star Buds Security Interests. The Security Interest granted in the foregoing clause (b), in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000, will be and hereby expressly is subordinated and junior only to the security interest in the Parent Collateral granted to the Senior Lender in connection with indebtedness in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (the “Senior Lien”). The Secured Party agrees, on written request of Parent, to enter into an intercreditor agreement in form and substance that is commercially reasonable to the Secured Party and the Senior Lender in connection with such subordination. The Parent agrees to cause existing and future lienholders other than holders of Permitted Liens to enter into an intercreditor agreement in form and substance that is commercially reasonable to the Buyer in connection with the subordination of the existing lienholders’ security interests in the Parent Collateral.

 

Section 2.2             Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) the Security Interest will not include, and the payment, performance and discharge of the Post-Closing Obligations will not be secured by any, (i) Regulatory Licenses or (ii) marijuana products, including marijuana flower, trim, concentrate or infused product (“Marijuana Inventory”), in each case, with respect to which the grant or enforcement (including transfer of ownership or possession) of the Security Interest on such Regulatory Licenses or Marijuana Inventory by the Company to the Secured Party is prohibited by, or would result in the violation of, applicable State of Colorado cannabis laws or the terms of any Regulatory License, provided, however, that the foregoing clause (a) will in no way be construed so as to limit, impair or otherwise affect the Secured Party’s continuing Security Interest upon any rights or interests of the Company in or to proceeds received by the Company resulting from the Regulatory License or Marijuana Inventory; and (b) this Agreement will not limit or restrict the Company’s right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Marijuana Inventory or other Collateral in the ordinary course of business.

 

Section 2.3             Representations and Warranties. Each Company hereby represents and warrants that: (a) the Company’s legal name (as set forth in its constituent documents filed with the appropriate governmental official or agency) is as set forth in the opening paragraph hereof; (b) the jurisdiction of organization of Buyer is the State of Colorado and of Parent is Nevada; (c) the chief place of business of the Companies is located at the address set forth in Section 3.3; (d) the Companies collectively have title to each item of Collateral (including the proceeds and products thereof), free and clear of all liens except for the Security Interest and Permitted Liens; (e) as of the date of execution of this Agreement, no effective financing statement or other similar document used to perfect and preserve a security interest under the laws of any jurisdiction covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Senior Lender, the Secured Party or in connection with the Star Buds Security Interests; (f) each Company has the full power, authority and legal right to grant the Security Interest in the Collateral owned by it; and (g) this Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid security interest in the Collateral, securing the Post-Closing Payment Obligations.

 

 

 

  2  

 

 

Section 2.4              Covenants. Each Company covenants as follows:

 

(a)           Names, Offices, Locations, Jurisdiction of Organization. The Company will not locate or relocate any item of Collateral into any jurisdiction in which an additional financing statement would be required to be filed to maintain the Secured Party’s perfected security interest in such Collateral. The Company will not change its name, the location of its chief place of business or its organizational structure (including without limitation, its jurisdiction of organization).

 

(b)           Title to Collateral. The Company will have at the time it acquires rights in Collateral hereafter acquired or arising and will maintain so long as the Security Interest may remain outstanding, title to each item of Collateral (including the proceeds and products thereof), free and clear of all liens except for the Security Interest and Permitted Liens. The Company will not license any Collateral. The Company will defend the Collateral against all claims or demands of all Persons (other than the Secured Party and any other party secured by the Star Buds Security Interests) claiming the Collateral or any interest therein.

 

(c)           Maintenance of Collateral. The Company will use its reasonable efforts (1) to maintain the Collateral in good repair and working order consistent with customary business practices, (2) to insure the Collateral against casualty and other risks consistent with industry practices, (3) to pay and discharge all taxes, levies and costs of maintenance and repair in the ordinary course of business; and (4) to timely pay all rent or mortgage payments of any kind as applicable to any real property upon which any part of the Collateral is located. The Company hereby assigns to the Secured Party all rights to any proceeds of any insurance procured under this Section 2.4(c), and authorizes the Secured Party to receive such payments and execute any and all documents required to receive such payments, but in no event in excess of such Secured Party’s Pro Rata Base Price Amount (as defined in the Second Omnibus Amendment).

 

(d)           Disposition of Collateral. The Company will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, or discount or factor with or without recourse, any Collateral, except for the Marijuana Inventory in the ordinary course of the Business.

 

(e)            Taxes and Claims. The Company will promptly pay all taxes and other governmental charges levied or assessed upon or against any Collateral or upon or against the creation, perfection or continuance of the Security Interest, as well as all other claims of any kind (including claims for labor, material and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except to the extent (a) such taxes, charges or claims are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) such proceedings do not involve any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Collateral or any interest therein and (c)  such taxes, charges or claims are adequately reserved against on the Company’s books in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

(f)             Books and Records. The Company will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral.

 

(g)            Notice of Loss. The Company will promptly notify the Secured Party of any loss of or material damage to any material item of Collateral or of any substantial adverse change, known to Company, in any material item of Collateral.

 

(h)           Further Assurances. The Company agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral in accordance with applicable law (but any failure to request or assure that the Company execute and deliver such instrument or documents or to take such action shall not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed and delivered or action taken in a similar context or on a prior occasion). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will, promptly and from time to time at the request of the Secured Party, authorize such financing statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured Party may reasonably request and shall, with respect to actions that a debtor, but not a secured party, may take, make such filings with any Government Authority as may be reasonably necessary, in each case in order to perfect or preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

 

 

 

  3  

 

 

Section 2.5             Perfection of Collateral. The Secured Party may at any time during the Term (as defined herein) file UCC financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral and contain any information required by the UCC or the applicable filing office with respect to any such UCC financing statement, continuation statement or amendment thereof. The Company irrevocably waives any right to notice of any such filing. Upon the reasonable request of the Secured Party, the Company will execute and deliver, and file and record in the proper filing and recording places, as applicable, all such documents, and will take all such other action, as is reasonably necessary for perfecting the Security Interest in the Collateral.

 

Section 2.6             Remedies on Default. Upon the Company’s failure to pay any Post-Closing Payment Obligation when due (an “Event of Default”) and at any time thereafter, subject to Section 2.1 (including the limitations set forth in the intercreditor agreement(s) referenced therein) and Section 2.2, the Secured Party may do any or all of the following: (a) declare all Post-Closing Payment Obligations immediately due and payable; and (b) exercise and enforce any and all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Colorado. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (x) to incur or fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed necessary by the Secured Party to prepare the Collateral for disposition; (y) if permitted by applicable law, to dispose of the Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; or (z) to purchase insurance covering the Collateral.

 

ARTICLE 3 MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 3.1             Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest will terminate on the date on which the Post-Closing Payment Obligations have been satisfied in full pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Term”).

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver with respect to this Agreement will be enforceable unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure to exercise, delay in exercising, or single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any party, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties, will constitute a waiver of, or will preclude any other or further exercise of, any right, power or remedy.

(h)           Further Assurances. The Company agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral in accordance with applicable law (but any failure to request or assure that the Company execute and deliver such instrument or documents or to take such action shall not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed and delivered or action taken in a similar context or on a prior occasion). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will, promptly and from time to time at the request of the Secured Party, authorize such financing statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured Party may reasonably request and shall, with respect to actions that a debtor, but not a secured party, may take, make such filings with any Government Authority as may be reasonably necessary, in each case in order to perfect or preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (x) to incur or fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed necessary by the Secured Party to prepare the Collateral for disposition; (y) if permitted by applicable law, to dispose of the Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; or (z) to purchase insurance covering the Collateral.

To secure the timely payment of the Post- Closing Payment Obligations, (a) the Buyer hereby grants to the Secured Party a continuing, first priority security interest in all of the Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to all presently existing and hereafter acquired Buyer Collateral and (b) the Parent hereby grants to the Secured Party a continuing, second priority security interest in all of the Parent’s right, title and interest in and to all presently existing and hereafter acquired Parent Collateral (clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Security Interest”), which Security Interest is subject to and pari passu with the security interest granted by the Companies pursuant to the other Star Buds Security Interests. The Security Interest granted in the foregoing clause (b), in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000, will be and hereby expressly is subordinated and junior only to the security interest in the Parent Collateral granted to the Senior Lender in connection with indebtedness in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (the “Senior Lien”). The Secured Party agrees, on written request of Parent, to enter into an intercreditor agreement in form and substance that is commercially reasonable to the Secured Party and the Senior Lender in connection with such subordination. The Parent agrees to cause existing and future lienholders other than holders of Permitted Liens to enter into an intercreditor agreement in form and substance that is commercially reasonable to the Buyer in connection with the subordination of the existing lienholders’ security interests in the Parent Collateral.

 

Section 2.2             Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) the Security Interest will not include, and the payment, performance and discharge of the Post-Closing Obligations will not be secured by any, (i) Regulatory Licenses or (ii) marijuana products, including marijuana flower, trim, concentrate or infused product (“Marijuana Inventory”), in each case, with respect to which the grant or enforcement (including transfer of ownership or possession) of the Security Interest on such Regulatory Licenses or Marijuana Inventory by the Company to the Secured Party is prohibited by, or would result in the violation of, applicable State of Colorado cannabis laws or the terms of any Regulatory License, provided, however, that the foregoing clause (a) will in no way be construed so as to limit, impair or otherwise affect the Secured Party’s continuing Security Interest upon any rights or interests of the Company in or to proceeds received by the Company resulting from the Regulatory License or Marijuana Inventory; and (b) this Agreement will not limit or restrict the Company’s right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Marijuana Inventory or other Collateral in the ordinary course of business.

Section 2.4              Covenants. Each Company covenants as follows:

 

(a)           Names, Offices, Locations, Jurisdiction of Organization. The Company will not locate or relocate any item of Collateral into any jurisdiction in which an additional financing statement would be required to be filed to maintain the Secured Party’s perfected security interest in such Collateral. The Company will not change its name, the location of its chief place of business or its organizational structure (including without limitation, its jurisdiction of organization).

 

(b)           Title to Collateral. The Company will have at the time it acquires rights in Collateral hereafter acquired or arising and will maintain so long as the Security Interest may remain outstanding, title to each item of Collateral (including the proceeds and products thereof), free and clear of all liens except for the Security Interest and Permitted Liens. The Company will not license any Collateral. The Company will defend the Collateral against all claims or demands of all Persons (other than the Secured Party and any other party secured by the Star Buds Security Interests) claiming the Collateral or any interest therein.

 

(c)           Maintenance of Collateral. The Company will use its reasonable efforts (1) to maintain the Collateral in good repair and working order consistent with customary business practices, (2) to insure the Collateral against casualty and other risks consistent with industry practices, (3) to pay and discharge all taxes, levies and costs of maintenance and repair in the ordinary course of business; and (4) to timely pay all rent or mortgage payments of any kind as applicable to any real property upon which any part of the Collateral is located. The Company hereby assigns to the Secured Party all rights to any proceeds of any insurance procured under this Section 2.4(c), and authorizes the Secured Party to receive such payments and execute any and all documents required to receive such payments, but in no event in excess of such Secured Party’s Pro Rata Base Price Amount (as defined in the Second Omnibus Amendment).

 

(d)           Disposition of Collateral. The Company will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, or discount or factor with or without recourse, any Collateral, except for the Marijuana Inventory in the ordinary course of the Business.

 

(e)            Taxes and Claims. The Company will promptly pay all taxes and other governmental charges levied or assessed upon or against any Collateral or upon or against the creation, perfection or continuance of the Security Interest, as well as all other claims of any kind (including claims for labor, material and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except to the extent (a) such taxes, charges or claims are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) such proceedings do not involve any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Collateral or any interest therein and (c)  such taxes, charges or claims are adequately reserved against on the Company’s books in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

(f)             Books and Records. The Company will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral.

 

(g)            Notice of Loss. The Company will promptly notify the Secured Party of any loss of or material damage to any material item of Collateral or of any substantial adverse change, known to Company, in any material item of Collateral.

 

(h)           Further Assurances. The Company agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral in accordance with applicable law (but any failure to request or assure that the Company execute and deliver such instrument or documents or to take such action shall not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed and delivered or action taken in a similar context or on a prior occasion). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will, promptly and from time to time at the request of the Secured Party, authorize such financing statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured Party may reasonably request and shall, with respect to actions that a debtor, but not a secured party, may take, make such filings with any Government Authority as may be reasonably necessary, in each case in order to perfect or preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

 

 

 

  3  

 

 

Section 2.5             Perfection of Collateral. The Secured Party may at any time during the Term (as defined herein) file UCC financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral and contain any information required by the UCC or the applicable filing office with respect to any such UCC financing statement, continuation statement or amendment thereof. The Company irrevocably waives any right to notice of any such filing. Upon the reasonable request of the Secured Party, the Company will execute and deliver, and file and record in the proper filing and recording places, as applicable, all such documents, and will take all such other action, as is reasonably necessary for perfecting the Security Interest in the Collateral.

 

Section 2.6             Remedies on Default. Upon the Company’s failure to pay any Post-Closing Payment Obligation when due (an “Event of Default”) and at any time thereafter, subject to Section 2.1 (including the limitations set forth in the intercreditor agreement(s) referenced therein) and Section 2.2, the Secured Party may do any or all of the following: (a) declare all Post-Closing Payment Obligations immediately due and payable; and (b) exercise and enforce any and all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Colorado. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (x) to incur or fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed necessary by the Secured Party to prepare the Collateral for disposition; (y) if permitted by applicable law, to dispose of the Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; or (z) to purchase insurance covering the Collateral.

 

ARTICLE 3 MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 3.1             Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest will terminate on the date on which the Post-Closing Payment Obligations have been satisfied in full pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Term”). Upon any such termination, the Secured Party shall execute and deliver to the Company, at the Company’s expense, such documents (including UCC-3 termination statements) as the Company reasonably requests, the form and substance of which will be reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, to evidence such termination of the Security Interest.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver with respect to this Agreement will be enforceable unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure to exercise, delay in exercising, or single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any party, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties, will constitute a waiver of, or will preclude any other or further exercise of, any right, power or remedy.

 

Section 3.3             Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by a party hereto will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by email of a .pdf document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third (3rd) Business Day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

ARTICLE 2 SECURITY INTEREST

 

Section 2.1             Grant of Subordinated Security Interest. To secure the timely payment of the Post- Closing Payment Obligations, (a) the Buyer hereby grants to the Secured Party a continuing, first priority security interest in all of the Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to all presently existing and hereafter acquired Buyer Collateral and (b) the Parent hereby grants to the Secured Party a continuing, second priority security interest in all of the Parent’s right, title and interest in and to all presently existing and hereafter acquired Parent Collateral (clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Security Interest”), which Security Interest is subject to and pari passu with the security interest granted by the Companies pursuant to the other Star Buds Security Interests. The Security Interest granted in the foregoing clause (b), in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000, will be and hereby expressly is subordinated and junior only to the security interest in the Parent Collateral granted to the Senior Lender in connection with indebtedness in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (the “Senior Lien”). The Secured Party agrees, on written request of Parent, to enter into an intercreditor agreement in form and substance that is commercially reasonable to the Secured Party and the Senior Lender in connection with such subordination. The Parent agrees to cause existing and future lienholders other than holders of Permitted Liens to enter into an intercreditor agreement in form and substance that is commercially reasonable to the Buyer in connection with the subordination of the existing lienholders’ security interests in the Parent Collateral.

 

Section 2.2             Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) the Security Interest will not include, and the payment, performance and discharge of the Post-Closing Obligations will not be secured by any, (i) Regulatory Licenses or (ii) marijuana products, including marijuana flower, trim, concentrate or infused product (“Marijuana Inventory”), in each case, with respect to which the grant or enforcement (including transfer of ownership or possession) of the Security Interest on such Regulatory Licenses or Marijuana Inventory by the Company to the Secured Party is prohibited by, or would result in the violation of, applicable State of Colorado cannabis laws or the terms of any Regulatory License, provided, however, that the foregoing clause (a) will in no way be construed so as to limit, impair or otherwise affect the Secured Party’s continuing Security Interest upon any rights or interests of the Company in or to proceeds received by the Company resulting from the Regulatory License or Marijuana Inventory; and (b) this Agreement will not limit or restrict the Company’s right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Marijuana Inventory or other Collateral in the ordinary course of business.

 

Section 2.3             Representations and Warranties. Each Company hereby represents and warrants that: (a) the Company’s legal name (as set forth in its constituent documents filed with the appropriate governmental official or agency) is as set forth in the opening paragraph hereof; (b) the jurisdiction of organization of Buyer is the State of Colorado and of Parent is Nevada; (c) the chief place of business of the Companies is located at the address set forth in Section 3.3; (d) the Companies collectively have title to each item of Collateral (including the proceeds and products thereof), free and clear of all liens except for the Security Interest and Permitted Liens; (e) as of the date of execution of this Agreement, no effective financing statement or other similar document used to perfect and preserve a security interest under the laws of any jurisdiction covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Senior Lender, the Secured Party or in connection with the Star Buds Security Interests; (f) each Company has the full power, authority and legal right to grant the Security Interest in the Collateral owned by it; and (g) this Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid security interest in the Collateral, securing the Post-Closing Payment Obligations.

Section 2.4              Covenants. Each Company covenants as follows:

 

(a)           Names, Offices, Locations, Jurisdiction of Organization. The Company will not locate or relocate any item of Collateral into any jurisdiction in which an additional financing statement would be required to be filed to maintain the Secured Party’s perfected security interest in such Collateral. The Company will not change its name, the location of its chief place of business or its organizational structure (including without limitation, its jurisdiction of organization).

 

(b)           Title to Collateral. The Company will have at the time it acquires rights in Collateral hereafter acquired or arising and will maintain so long as the Security Interest may remain outstanding, title to each item of Collateral (including the proceeds and products thereof), free and clear of all liens except for the Security Interest and Permitted Liens. The Company will not license any Collateral. The Company will defend the Collateral against all claims or demands of all Persons (other than the Secured Party and any other party secured by the Star Buds Security Interests) claiming the Collateral or any interest therein.

 

(c)           Maintenance of Collateral. The Company will use its reasonable efforts (1) to maintain the Collateral in good repair and working order consistent with customary business practices, (2) to insure the Collateral against casualty and other risks consistent with industry practices, (3) to pay and discharge all taxes, levies and costs of maintenance and repair in the ordinary course of business; and (4) to timely pay all rent or mortgage payments of any kind as applicable to any real property upon which any part of the Collateral is located. The Company hereby assigns to the Secured Party all rights to any proceeds of any insurance procured under this Section 2.4(c), and authorizes the Secured Party to receive such payments and execute any and all documents required to receive such payments, but in no event in excess of such Secured Party’s Pro Rata Base Price Amount (as defined in the Second Omnibus Amendment).

 

(d)           Disposition of Collateral. The Company will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, or discount or factor with or without recourse, any Collateral, except for the Marijuana Inventory in the ordinary course of the Business.

 

(e)            Taxes and Claims. The Company will promptly pay all taxes and other governmental charges levied or assessed upon or against any Collateral or upon or against the creation, perfection or continuance of the Security Interest, as well as all other claims of any kind (including claims for labor, material and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except to the extent (a) such taxes, charges or claims are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) such proceedings do not involve any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Collateral or any interest therein and (c)  such taxes, charges or claims are adequately reserved against on the Company’s books in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

(f)             Books and Records. The Company will keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral.

 

(g)            Notice of Loss. The Company will promptly notify the Secured Party of any loss of or material damage to any material item of Collateral or of any substantial adverse change, known to Company, in any material item of Collateral.

 

(h)           Further Assurances. The Company agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral in accordance with applicable law (but any failure to request or assure that the Company execute and deliver such instrument or documents or to take such action shall not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed and delivered or action taken in a similar context or on a prior occasion). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will, promptly and from time to time at the request of the Secured Party, authorize such financing statements or continuation statements in respect thereof, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured Party may reasonably request and shall, with respect to actions that a debtor, but not a secured party, may take, make such filings with any Government Authority as may be reasonably necessary, in each case in order to perfect or preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

 

 

 

  3  

 

 

Section 2.5             Perfection of Collateral. The Secured Party may at any time during the Term (as defined herein) file UCC financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral and contain any information required by the UCC or the applicable filing office with respect to any such UCC financing statement, continuation statement or amendment thereof. The Company irrevocably waives any right to notice of any such filing. Upon the reasonable request of the Secured Party, the Company will execute and deliver, and file and record in the proper filing and recording places, as applicable, all such documents, and will take all such other action, as is reasonably necessary for perfecting the Security Interest in the Collateral.

 

Section 2.6             Remedies on Default. Upon the Company’s failure to pay any Post-Closing Payment Obligation when due (an “Event of Default”) and at any time thereafter, subject to Section 2.1 (including the limitations set forth in the intercreditor agreement(s) referenced therein) and Section 2.2, the Secured Party may do any or all of the following: (a) declare all Post-Closing Payment Obligations immediately due and payable; and (b) exercise and enforce any and all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Colorado. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (x) to incur or fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed necessary by the Secured Party to prepare the Collateral for disposition; (y) if permitted by applicable law, to dispose of the Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; or (z) to purchase insurance covering the Collateral.
