CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans, and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “approximately,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “become,” “develop,” “build,” or the negative of these terms or other words of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future events or future operating or financial performance, although the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are based upon our current assumptions, expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on our business. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual events or our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the future events, results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that future events, results, performance or achievements will be in accordance with our expectations or that the effect of future events, results, performance or achievements will be those anticipated by us.

Factors and risks that may cause or contribute to actual events, results, performance or achievements differing from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, for example:

regulatory limitations on our products and services;
our ability to identify, consummate, and integrate anticipated acquisitions;
general industry and economic conditions;
our ability to access adequate capital upon terms and conditions that are acceptable to us;
our ability to pay interest and principal on outstanding debt when due;
volatility in credit and market conditions; and
other risks and uncertainties related to the cannabis market and our business strategy.

We operate in very competitive and rapidly changing markets. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Stockholders and potential investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are reasonable, we cannot assure stockholders and potential investors that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved.

These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Considering these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place

undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

MEDICINE MAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.Organization and Nature of Operations

Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on March 20, 2014. On May 1, 2014, we entered into a non-exclusive Technology License Agreement with Futurevision, Inc., f/k/a Medicine Man Production Corp., dba Medicine Man Denver (“Medicine Man Denver”) pursuant to which Medicine Man Denver granted us a license to use all of the proprietary processes that it had developed, implemented and practiced at its cannabis facilities relating to the commercial growth, cultivation, marketing and distribution of medical and recreational marijuana pursuant to relevant state laws and the right to use and to license such information, including trade secrets, skills and experience (present and future) for 10 years.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2022 with the SEC.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments, unless otherwise noted herein, are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s net earnings and financial position.

On January 25, 2022, the Company acquired the assets BG3 Investments, LLC, dba Drift (“Drift”), and Black Box Licensing, LLC under the applicable asset purchase agreement.

On February 8, 2022, the Company acquired its New Mexico business under the terms of a Purchase Agreement, dated November 29, 2021, with Nuevo Holding, LLC and Nuevo Elemental Holding, LLC, both of which are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Nuevo Purchasers”), Reynold Greenleaf & Associates, LLC (“RGA”), Elemental Kitchen and Laboratories, LLC (“Elemental”), the equity holders of RGA and Elemental, and William N. Ford, in his capacity as Representative, as amended on February 8, 2022 (the “Nuevo Purchase Agreement”). The Nuevo Purchasers acquired substantially all of the operating assets of RGA and all of the equity of Elemental and assumed specified liabilities of RGA and Elemental. Pursuant to existing laws and regulations in New Mexico, the cannabis licenses for certain facilities managed by RGA are held by two not-for-profit entities: Medzen Services, Inc. (“Medzen”) and R. Greenleaf Organics, Inc. (“R. Greenleaf” and together with Medzen, the “NFPs”). At the closing, Nuevo Holding, LLC gained control over the NFPs by becoming the sole member of each of the NFPs and replacing the directors of the two NFPs with Justin Dye, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and one of its directors, Nancy Huber, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Dan Pabon, the Company’s General Counsel, Chief Government Affairs Officer and Corporate Secretary. The business acquired from RGA consists of serving as a branding, marketing and consulting company, licensing certain intellectual property related to the business of THC-based products to Elemental and the NFPs, providing consulting services to Elemental and the NFPs, and supporting Elemental and the NFPs to promote, support, and develop sales and distribution of products. Elemental is engaged in the business of creating and distributing cannabis-derived products to licensed cannabis producers. Elemental and the NFPs are in the business of cultivating, processing and dispensing marijuana in New Mexico, with 10 dispensaries, four cultivation facilities (three operating and one under development) and one manufacturing facility. The dispensaries are located in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Roswell, Las Cruces,

Grants and Las Vegas, New Mexico. The cultivation and manufacturing facilities are located in Albuquerque, New Mexico and consists of approximately 70,000 square feet of cultivation and 6,000 square feet of manufacturing. On the same date, Nuevo Holding, LLC entered into two separate Call Option Agreements containing substantially identical terms with each of the NFPs. Each Call Option Agreement gives Nuevo Holding, LLC the right to acquire 100% of the equity or 100% of the assets of the applicable NFP for a purchase price of $100 if, in the future, the New Mexico legislature adopts legislation that permits a NFP to (i) convert to a for-profit corporation and maintain its cannabis license or (ii) sell its assets (including its cannabis license) to a for-profit corporation. The aggregate closing consideration for the acquisitions was approximately (i) $27.7 million in cash, and (ii) $17.0 million in the form of an unsecured promissory note issued by Nuevo Holding, LLC to RGA, the principal amount of which is payable on February 8, 2025 with interest payable monthly at an annual interest rate of 5%. The Nuevo Purchasers issued an “earn-out” payment of $4.5 million in cash to RGA and William N. Ford (as Representative) based on the EBITDA of the acquired business for calendar year 2021.

On February 9, 2022, the Company acquired MCG, LLC and its four wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “MCG”) pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 15, 2021, with Emerald Fields Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, MCG, MCG’s owners, and Donald Douglas Burkhalter and James Gulbrandsen in their capacity as the Member Representatives, as amended on February 9, 2022.

On February 15, 2022, Double Brow, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Double Brow”) acquired substantially all of the operating assets of Brow 2, LLC (“Brow”) related to its indoor cannabis cultivation operations located in Denver, Colorado (other than assets expressly excluded) and assumed certain liabilities for contracts acquired pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated August 20, 2021, among Double Brow, Brow, and Brian Welsh, as the owner of Brow.

On March 17, 2022, the Company announced that its Common Stock was approved for listing on the NEO, a tier one Canadian Stock exchange based in Toronto, Ontario. The Common Stock began trading on the NEO on March 23, 2022.

On May 31, 2022, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets of Urban Health & Wellness, Inc d/b/a Urban Dispensary (“Urban Dispensary”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset and Personal Goodwill Purchase Agreement, dated March 11, 2022, with Double Brow, Urban Dispensary, Productive Investments, LLC, and Patrick Johnson. Urban Dispensary operates an indoor cannabis cultivation facility and a single retail dispensary, each located in Denver, Colorado.

On July 13, 2022, the Company entered into a strategic relationship with Mission Holdings US, Inc. (“Mission Holdings”), an entity affiliated with MCG, by purchasing a non-controlling equity interest in Mission Holdings. Mission Holdings offers various products and brands, including proprietary cannabis infused gummies and premium flower for medical and recreational sale in Colorado and California. The Company has the right to acquire 100% of the equity interest in Mission Holdings on or after the three-year anniversary of the investment.

2.Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Inventory

Inventory of purchased finished goods and packing materials are initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs incurred during the growing and production process are capitalized as incurred to the extent that cost is less than net realizable value. These costs include materials, labor and manufacturing overhead used in the growing and production processes.

Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

11

Table of Contents

Cost is determined using the average lot cost. Products for resale and supplies and consumables are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventories are written down to net realizable value. There were no reserves for obsolete inventory as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

3.Notes Receivable

On March 12, 2021, the Company sold equipment to Colorado Cannabis Company LLC (“Colorado Cannabis”). Colorado Cannabis is obligated to pay $215,000, payable in equal monthly installments for 18 months commencing 30 days from the date of taking possession of the equipment pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated January 29, 2021, between the Company and Colorado Cannabis. As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance, including penalties for late payments, on the receivable from Colorado Cannabis totaled $47,778.

6.Derivative Liability

Investor Note

On December 3, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 31 accredited investors (the “Note Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Note Investors 13% senior secured convertible notes due December 7, 2026 (the “Investor Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $95,000,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $93,100,000 (reflecting an original issue discount of $1,900,000, or 2%) in a private placement. On December 7, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement and issued and sold the Investor Notes pursuant to the Indenture entered into among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC, as collateral agent, and Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as trustee (as may be supplemented and/or amended from time to time, the “Indenture”). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $92,000,000 at the closing, after deducting a commission to the placement agent and estimated offering expenses associated with the private placement payable by the Company. The Investor Notes will mature five years after issuance unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted pursuant to the Indenture. The Investor Notes bear interest at 13% per year paid quarterly commencing March 31, 2022 in cash for an amount equal to the amount payable on such date

as if the Investor Notes were subject to an annual interest rate of 9%, with the remainder of the accrued interest payable as an increase to the principal amount of the Investor Notes.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the derivative liabilities for the periods ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the GAAP accounting guidance under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging Activities. In accordance with GAAP, a contract to issue a variable number of equity shares fails to meet the definition of equity and must instead be classified as a derivative liability and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations at each period-end. The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation in determining the appropriate fair value. The derivative liability will ultimately be converted into the Company’s equity when the Investor Notes are converted or will be extinguished on the repayment of the Investor Notes. The derivative liability will not result in the outlay of any additional cash by the Company. Upon initial recognition, the Company recorded a derivative liability and debt discount of $48,936,674 in relation to the derivative liability portion of the Investor Notes. The Company recorded $1,915,403 and $5,505,420 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, in amortization related to the debt discount.

8.Goodwill Accounting

The Company accounts for acquisitions in which it obtains control of one or more businesses as a business combination. The purchase price of the acquired businesses is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recognized as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments, in the period in which they are determined, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

Investor Notes – On December 3, 2021, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Note Investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Note Investors Investor Notes in a private placement. On December 7, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement and issued and sold the Investor Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $92,000,000 at the closing, after deducting a commission to the placement agent and estimated offering expenses associated with the private placement payable by the Company. The Investor Notes will mature five years after issuance unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted. A holder of an Investor Note may convert all or any portion of the Investor Note into shares of Common Stock at any time until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Inventor Notes, at a conversion price equal to $2.24 per share (“Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price will be adjusted in the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock by way of stock subdivision (including a stock split), stock combination, issuance of stock or cash dividends, distributions of other securities or assets and other corporate actions. The number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Investor Notes will be equal to the principal amount of the Investor Note plus accrued interest divided by the conversion price (the “Conversion Rate”).

The Company may, at its option, elect to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Investor Notes for cash, subject to certain conditions, at a repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon on such date as more fully discussed in the agreement.

On the fourth anniversary of the issuance date, the investors will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase some or all their Notes for cash in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Investor Notes being repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the date of repurchase.

On or after the second anniversary of the issuance date, the Company may, at its option, convert up to 12.5% of the outstanding Investor Notes each quarter, if (i) the last reported sale price of the Common Stock exceeds 150% of the applicable Conversion Price, (ii) either (a) the Common Stock is listed on a Permitted Exchange (as defined in the Indenture) or (b) the Company’s daily volume weighted average price for the Common Stock exceeds $2,500,000, in each case for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date of conversion for the Conversion Price plus accrued and unpaid interest and (iii) there is an effective registration statement covering the resale by the holders of the Investor Notes of all Common Stock to be received in such conversion. The Company will be required to pay a Make-Whole Premium (as defined in the Indenture), payable in cash or Common Stock, to the Investors if the Investor Notes are voluntarily converted before the third anniversary of the Issuance Date and the Company’s daily volume weighted average price for the Common Stock does not exceed 175% of the Conversion Rate during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.

The notes have a contingent redemption feature that involves a substantial premium, requiring the same to be bifurcated as a derivative liability. 

The Investor Notes bear interest at 13% per year paid quarterly commencing March 31, 2022 in cash for an amount equal to the amount payable on such date as if the Investor Notes were subject to an annual interest rate of 9%, with the remainder of the accrued interest payable as an increase to the principal amount of the Investor Notes. The proceeds from the Investor Notes are required to be used to fund previously identified acquisitions and other growth initiatives. The principal is due December 7, 2026.

12.Leases

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet at the time of lease commencement or modification of a Right of Use (“ROU”) operating lease asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lease costs are recognized in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

The Company’s leases consist of real estate leases for office, retail, cultivation, and manufacturing facilities. The Company elected to combine the lease and related non-lease components for its operating leases.

The Company’s operating leases include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are not included in the determination of the ROU asset or lease liability unless reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company’s operating

25

Table of Contents

leases have remaining lease terms of less than two. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The discount rate used in the computations ranged between 6% and 12%.

Warrants

This warrant has an exercise price of $2.50 per share and expires five years from the date of issuance. The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants at date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following inputs: (i) stock price on the date of grant of $1.20 and $2.50, respectively, (ii) the contractual term of the warrant of five years, (iii) a risk-free interest rate ranging between 0.21% - 1.84% and (iv) an expected volatility of the price of the underlying Common Stock ranging between 157.60% - 194.56%.

The Company has computed its provision for income taxes under the discrete method which treats the year-to-date period as if it were the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The discrete method is applied when application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. We believe that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method as the estimated annual effective tax rate method is not reliable due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pre-tax income due to the early growth stage of the business.

Due to its cannabis operations, the Company is subject to the limitations of IRC Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E.

The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 varies from the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the change in nondeductible expenses as a proportion of total expenses in the current year. The Company incurs expenses that are not deductible dur to IRC Section 280E limitations which results in significant income tax expense.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s valuation allowance represents the amount of tax benefits that are likely to not be realized. Management assesses the need for a valuation allowance each period and continues to have a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022.

The Federal statute of limitation remains open for the 2017 tax year to present. The state statute of limitation remains open for the 2016 tax year to present.

17.Earnings per share (Basic and Dilutive)

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to Common Stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. These potential dilutive shares include 1,187,124 of vested stock options, 7,218,750 stock purchase warrants, and 86,994 shares of Preferred Stock. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing reported net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Note that for purposes of basic loss per share calculation, shares of Preferred Stock are excluded from the calculation as of December 31, 2021, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. As the Company incurred a loss from operations in 2020, shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the equity awards were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

18.Subsequent Events

Quarter Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Quarter Ended September 30, 2021

Revenue

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $43,190,986, including (i) retail sales of $39,759,734 (ii) wholesale sales of $3,335,252 and (iii) other operating revenues of $96,000, compared to revenues of $31,835,305, including (i) retail sales of $20,741,864, (ii) wholesale sales of $11,022,519, and (iii) other operating revenues of $70,922 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $11,355,681 or 36%. The most influential factor driving revenue increases in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 is acquisition activity. Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 included revenue from four consummated acquisitions in Colorado and revenue from the Company’s initial entrance into the New Mexico market with the acquisition of R. Greenleaf, which were not in revenue for the same period in 2021. Revenue from wholesale sales decreased, due in large part to continued pricing pressure in the Colorado wholesale market as a result of supply saturation in flower and bulk distillate products.

Cost of Goods and Services

Cost of goods and services for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $17,226,451 compared to cost of goods and services of $16,779,313 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $447,138 or 3%. Overall cost of goods and services increased due to the same acquisition activities that generated substantial increases in revenue, but the rate at which cost of goods and services increases from acquisition activity occurs at a lower rate than increases in revenue from acquisition activity due to lower wholesale flower pricing in Colorado and substantial vertical integration in New Mexico generating favorable cost savings.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $14,849,677, compared to operating expenses of $11,218,992 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $3,630,685 or 32%. This increase is due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses, professional service fees, salaries, benefits and related employment costs, all largely driven by growth from acquisitions.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $3,712,108 compared to $1,555,427 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase in other expense of $2,156,681 or 139%. The increase in other expenses is due to higher interest payments due on the Company’s debt obligations as a result of compounding interest with the passage of time and higher debt balances, which was partially offset this quarter by the revaluation of the derivative liability related to the Investor Notes issued in December 2021 that was recognized as income in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Revenue

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $119,231,932, including (i) retail sales of $104,386,464 (ii) wholesale sales of $14,661,268 and (iii) other operating revenues of $184,200, compared to revenues of $81,904,261, including (i) retail sales of $54,083,880, (ii) wholesale of $27,654,965, and (iii) other operating revenues of $165,416 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $37,327,671 or 46%. The most influential factor driving revenue increases in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 is acquisition activity. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included revenue from four new acquisitions in Colorado, which included five new retail dispensaries, and revenue from the Company’s initial entrance into the New Mexico market with the acquisition of R. Greenleaf that created an immediate initial portfolio of ten retail dispensaries across the state of New Mexico, none of which were in revenue for the same period in 2021.

Cost of Goods and Services

Cost of goods and services for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $57,173,192 compared to cost of goods and services of $44,692,765 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $12,480,427 or 28%. Year to date cost of goods and services in 2022 increased as compared to 2021 due to the same acquisition activities that generated substantial increases in revenue, but the rate at which cost of goods and services increases from acquisition activity occurs at a lower rate than increases in revenue from acquisition activity due to lower wholesale flower pricing in Colorado and substantial vertical integration in New Mexico generating favorable cost savings.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $46,698,772, compared to operating expenses of $30,418,486 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of $16,280,286 or 54%. This increase is due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses, professional service fees, salaries, benefits and related employment costs, all largely driven by growth from acquisitions.

The increase in other income, net is primarily due to significant gains recognized in connection with revaluation of the derivative liability related to the Investor Notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by higher interest payments due on the Company’s debt obligations as a result of compounding interest with the passage of time and higher debt balances.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the factors discussed above, we generated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $8,871,518, compared to net income of $1,689,289 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

DRIVERS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS & KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Revenue

The Company derives its revenue from three revenue streams: (i) Retail, which sells finished goods sourced internally and externally to the end consumer in retail stores; (ii) Wholesale, which is the cultivation of flower and biomass sold internally and externally and the manufacturing of biomass into distillate for integration into externally developed products, such as edibles and internally developed products such as vapes and cartridges under the Purplebee’s brand; and (iii) Other, which includes other income and expenses, such as, licensing and consulting services, facility design services, facility management services, the Company’s Three A Light™ publication, and corporate operations.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes costs directly attributable to product sales and includes amounts paid for finished goods such as flower, edibles, and concentrates, as well as manufacturing and cultivation labor, packaging, supplies and overhead such as rent, utilities and other related costs. Cannabis costs are affected by market supply. Gross margin measures our gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses other than the costs of goods sold consists of selling costs to support customer relations, marketing and branding activities. It also includes an investment in the corporate infrastructure required to support the Company’s ongoing business.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is derived from Operating Income, which is adjusted for one-time expenses, merger and acquisition and capital raising costs, non-cash related compensation costs, and depreciation and amortization.

Average Basket Size

Average Basket Size is calculated based on the average dollar value of all total items purchased by a single customer during a single visit to one of the Company’s retail dispensary stores. Management monitors and utilizes Average Basket Size to assess consumer preferences and behavior, effectiveness of consistent reward and discount offerings, and product performance. Management believes this metric can be useful to investors for a better understanding of average customer spend and revenue across all Company retail dispensaries.

Table of Contents

Recorded Customer Visits

The Recorded Customer Visits metric reports the number of customers that have visited any of the Company’s retail dispensary stores and made a purchase. Customer visits are recorded at the time of purchase. If a customer makes multiple purchases in a day, each purchase is counted as an individual visit. Management uses Recorded Customer Visits to monitor and assess Company performance in the markets where it operates, consumer acceptance of the Company’s brand and products, customer retention, and store traffic. Recorded Customer Visits is a useful non-financial metric for investors to contextualize the Company’s assessment of overall market performance and consumer appetite for cannabis products.

Same Store Sales and Stacked IDs

The Company utilizes Same Store Sales and Stacked Identical Store Sales (“Stacked IDs”) to evaluate and monitor organic growth from existing dispensaries. Management believes these metrics are useful for investors to assess management of our retail stores and to distinguish revenue and growth from operations from revenue and growth from acquisitions. Same Store Sales and Stacked IDs are both expressed as a percentage that indicates the relative increase or decrease to revenue for certain retail stores from the relevant previous reporting period, which are reported separately for retail operations in Colorado and New Mexico. Same Store Sales is calculated by comparing revenue from sales for all dispensaries in existence for more than one year against the revenue from the sales for the same dispensaries for a specified previous period. Stacked IDs, which is derived from Same Store Sales, reflects Same Store Sales as adjusted for dating discrepancies to report comparable sales for the identical period of days for a specified previous period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had total current liabilities of $30,041,901 and $45,263,179, respectively. The decrease is driven by the revaluation of the derivative liability associated with the Investor Notes. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $38,725,187 and $106,400,216, respectively to meet its current obligations. The Company had working capital of $41,548,525 as of September 30, 2022, a decrease of $37,594,104 as compared to December 31, 2021. The reduction in cash, and in turn working capital, is primarily driven by expenditure of cash to fund acquisitions and operations.

The Company is an early-stage growth company, generating cash from operational revenue and capital raises. Cash is being reserved primarily for capital expenditures, facility improvements, acquisitions, and strategic investment opportunities. The Company predominantly relies on internal capital that is generated through revenue and any other internal sources of liquidity to meet its short-term and certain long-term capital demands. Management believes the Company’s current projected growth, revenue from consummated acquisitions, and revenue from operations will be sufficient to meet its current obligations as they become due. The Company relies on a combination of internal and external capital to meet its long-term obligations, with internal liquidity sourced from revenue from operations and external financing acquired from various sources, including commercial loan arrangements, capital raises and private placement transactions, and cash from the Investor Notes. Management believes this combination of internal revenue and external liquidity will be sufficient to meet the Company’s long-term obligations; however, it is possible the Company will seek additional external financing to meet capital needs in the future. The Company maintains the unused portion of the funds received from the Investor Notes for future acquisitions and execution of strategic growth initiatives.

Due to our participation in the cannabis industry and the regulatory framework governing cannabis in the United States, our debt and loan arrangements are sometimes subject to higher interest rates than are market for other industries, which has an unfavorable impact on our liquidity and capital resources. Additionally, the cash requirements to service our debt obligations increase with the passage of time due to interest accrual, which increases constraints on our capital resources and tends to reduce liquidity in the amount of such accruals. We currently anticipate meeting these cash requirements from operating revenue and cash on hand. One of our strategic goals is to stimulate growth through acquisitions, which also tends to negatively impact liquidity during periods when we consummate an identified acquisition. We expect to continue executing this strategy in future periods, meeting such capital requirements in connection therewith from both internal capital and external financing (including unused funds from the Investor Notes), which will decrease liquidity. Additional factors or trends that have impacted or could potentially impact liquidity in future periods include general economic conditions such as market saturation, inflation, and general economic downturn. The Colorado cannabis market has

experienced downward pricing pressure from over-supply of certain cannabis products in the market, which has improved retail margins in current periods but will likely impact the relationship between cost and revenue if and/or when supply is decreased in the Colorado market. Increasing inflation may also negatively impact our liquidity, as our cost of goods and services may increase without corresponding increases to revenue. Increasing inflation and general economic downturn in the United States could also negatively impact revenue to the extent such factors affect consumer behavior.

The Company’s cash used in operating activities for 2022 is predominantly driven by the gain on derivative liabilities from the Investor Note. The Company’s use of cash from investing activities is driven by acquisition of businesses, cannabis licenses, and property, plant and equipment for existing entities such as store remodels. Our cash provided by financing activities is mainly from proceeds from our credit facility, the Investor Notes and the issuance of shares of Common Stock.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, we were not party to any off-balance sheet arrangement that had or was reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources.

Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies (see Note 2 to Financial Statements), the ones that may involve a higher degree of uncertainty, judgment and complexity are revenue recognition, stock based compensation, derivative instruments, income taxes, goodwill and commitments and contingencies are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances

Our revenue recognition policy is significant because the amount and timing of revenue is a key component of our results of operations. Certain criteria are required to be met in order to recognize revenue. If these criteria are not met, then the associated revenue is deferred until the criteria are met. A contract liability is recorded when consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services. We identify revenue contracts upon acceptance from the customer when such contract represents a single performance obligation to sell our products.

We have three main revenue streams: (i) retail sales, (ii) wholesale sales, and (iii) other revenues from revenues from consulting, licensing, and other miscellaneous sources.

The Company’s retail and wholesale sales are recorded at the time that control of the products is transferred to customers. In evaluating the timing of the transfer of control of products to customers, we consider several indicators, including significant risks and rewards of products, our right to payment, and the legal title of the products. Based on the assessment of control indicators, our sales are generally recognized when products are delivered to customers.

The Company’s other revenue, typically from licensing and consulting services, is recognized when our obligations to our client are fulfilled which is determined when milestones in the contract are achieved. The Company’s revenue from seminar fees is related to one-day seminars and is recognized as earned upon the completion of the seminar. We also recognize expense reimbursement from clients as revenue for expenses incurred during certain jobs.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for share-based payments pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Stock Compensation and, accordingly, we record compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock and restricted stock awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Our stock compensation expense for stock options is recognized over the vesting period of the award or expensed immediately under ASC 718 when stock or options are awarded for previous or current service without further recourse.

Income Taxes

ASC 740, Income Taxes requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Our deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from our acquisitions is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers. Intangible assets have either an identifiable or indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter. Amortizable intangible assets consist of licensing agreements, product licenses and registrations, and intellectual property or trade secrets. Their estimated useful lives range from 3 to 15 years.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. We perform an annual impairment assessment for goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by considering both the income approach and market approaches. The fair values calculated under the income approach and market approaches are weighted based on circumstances surrounding the reporting unit. Under the income approach, we determine fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, we rely on the capital asset pricing model approach, which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publicly traded stocks, our risk relative to the overall market, our size and industry and other risks specific to us. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approaches use key multiples from guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans, and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in assumptions and estimates could cause us to perform an impairment test prior to scheduled annual impairment tests.

We performed our annual fair value assessment on our subsidiaries with material goodwill and intangible asset amounts on their respective balance sheets at December 31, 2021, and determined that no impairment exists. No additional factors or circumstances existed as of September 30, 2022, that would indicate impairment.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On June 7, 2019, the Company filed a complaint against ACC Industries Inc. and Building Management Company B, L.L.C., in state district court located in Clark County, Nevada, alleging, amongst other causes of action, breach of contract, conversion, and unjust enrichment and seeking general, special and punitive damages. On July 17, 2019, the parties stipulated to stay the case in favor of arbitration. On February 25, 2020, ACC Industries Inc. filed a counterclaim against the Company alleging breach of contract. The Company discovered new facts that lead it to believe that a related entity not previously named as a party to the arbitration, ACC Enterprises, LLC (“ACC”), should be brought in as a party to the arbitration. Based upon the new facts, the Company filed a motion to amend the complaint to add new claims and ACC as a party. On September 1, 2020, the arbitrator granted the Company’s motion and permitted the Company to amend the complaint to add ACC as a party. On September 1, 2020, the Company filed an amended complaint and added intentional misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, civil conspiracy, aiding and abetting, successor liability and fraudulent concealment claims. The Company began arbitration proceedings on November 2, 2020. The Company completed arbitration in February 2021. On May 14, 2021, the Arbitrator entered an award in favor of the Company in the aggregate amount of $1,935,273, subject to an offset equal to $150,000, for a total net award of $1,785,273. After the arbitration award was entered, a receiver was appointed over ACC and its affiliates due to the death of the only owner who had a valid cannabis establishment registration agent card. An automatic litigation stay was entered upon the appointment of the receiver. During the receivership, ACC’s owners have had internal ownership disputes and ACC has had financial difficulties. The receiver has taken the position that ACC should be liquidated and sold. On April 28, 2022, the receiver received approval from the court to liquidate ACC’s assets. On May 24, 2022, upon the completion of a bidding procedure for certain ACC assets, the court approved the sale of certain ACC assets to the only and prevailing bidder. The finality of that sale is in progress and near completion. On July 26, 2022, the court approved a creditors’ claim process. The Company has compiled with the claim process and is awaiting formal approval from the receiver. The Company believes its claim will be approved and will continue to participate in the receivership.

On July 6, 2018, the Company filed a complaint in the Eight Judicial Court, Clark County, Nevada against Vegas Valley Growers (“VVG”). In the complaint, the Company alleges breach by VVG of the Technologies License Agreement dated April 27, 2017 entered into between the parties and seeks general, special and punitive damages in the amount of $3,876,850. On August 28, 2018, VVG filed an Answer and Counterclaim against the Company. On August 2, 2019, a jury found in favor of the Company and awarded the Company damages totaling $2,773,321 plus pre- and post-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees. In March 2020, VVG filed its opening appeal brief with the Nevada Supreme Court. The Company’s response brief was due on May 15, 2020. After VVG filed its opening brief in March 2020, the Company filed a Motion to Strike portions of the brief and record. On August 27, 2020, the court ordered VVG to supplement its brief and the record. On October 27, 2020, the Company, in a joint request with VVG, filed a motion to extend its time to file its answering brief. The Company filed its answering brief in January 2021. VVG’s reply brief was filed in March 2021. On July 23, 2021, the Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s damage award but remanded the case to the trial court to properly calculate post-judgment interest. After the affirmance, VVG filed a petition for rehearing with the Nevada Supreme Court arguing it overlooked or misapprehended material facts in the record. The Company answered the rehearing petition arguing that it did not. On December 22, 2021, the Company received $3,577,200 for most of the outstanding receivable plus interest and legal fees. Requests for costs and fees related to the appeal are currently pending before the district court. The costs were recently awarded by the Court in full. VVG has paid the cost award. The Company believes it has reached a resolution on the outstanding attorney’s fees owed to the Company. At that point, a dismissal will be filed on the case.

ARTICLE II.

PURCHASE PRICE AND RELATED MATTERS

Section 2.1.Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration payable by Buyer to Seller for the Purchased Assets is an amount equal to $1,750,000 (the “Purchase Price”).

Section 2.2.Payment of Purchase Price at the Closing. At the Closing, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2:

(a)Cash Consideration. Subject to Section 2.2(c) below (and without duplication for any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Lightshade Denver APA), Buyer will pay, or cause to be paid, the following amounts to the following Persons:


(i)the aggregate amount of Indebtedness identified in the Payoff Letters (the “Closing Date Repaid Indebtedness”) pursuant to, and in the amounts and to the Persons specified in, the respective Payoff Letters, if not already paid pursuant to the Lightshade Denver APA;

(ii)the aggregate amount of the Seller Transaction Expenses identified in the Seller Transaction Expenses Invoices (the “Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses”) pursuant to, and in the amounts and to the Persons specified in, the respective Seller Transaction Expenses Invoices, if not already paid pursuant to the Lightshade Denver APA; and

(iii)an amount equal to (A) the Purchase Price, minus (B) the Closing Date Repaid Indebtedness, if any, minus (C) the Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses, if any, minus (D) the Indemnity Escrow Amount, if any, to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of Seller designated by Seller in writing prior to the Closing Date.

The Indemnity Escrow Amount will be held and disbursed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, the Lightshade Denver APA (including Section 8.1(e) thereunder), and this Agreement (including Section 8.1(e)). For the avoidance of doubt, the $300,000 Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be the aggregate total amount deposited by Buyer into an escrow account for purposes of securing certain obligations of Seller and the Equityholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Lightshade Denver APA.

(c)Other Transaction; No Duplication. The Parties acknowledge and agree that as of the date hereof, the Parties are also entering into the Lightshade Denver APA (together with this Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”), both Purchase Agreements are based on the same form, and both Purchase Agreements require payment of the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the same (or substantially similar) Closing Date Repaid Indebtedness and Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses, but payment of such foregoing amounts is only required once under both Purchase Agreements. In the event the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements do not close simultaneously, then, upon the first transaction to close, Buyer will (i) deposit the entire Indemnity Escrow Amount and (ii) pay, or cause to be paid, the entire amount of any Closing Date Repaid Indebtedness and Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses as is required by the applicable Purchase Agreement, such that, upon closing of the second transaction, no payments will need to be made with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Amount, Closing Date Repaid Indebtedness or the Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses (and no deduction of the Purchase Price will need to be made therefore pursuant to Section 2.2(a)) under the applicable Purchase Agreement.

Section 2.3.Financial Requirements; Post-Closing Adjustments.

(i)Target Marijuana Inventory. At the Closing, the aggregate value of Marijuana Inventory included in the Purchased Assets located at the Aurora Location and delivered to Buyer will be not less than $50,822, calculated at actual cost-basis, which is equal to the last purchase price paid by Seller to purchase the Marijuana Inventory or Seller’s cost of goods sold in manufacturing the applicable Marijuana Inventory, as applicable (the “Target Marijuana Inventory”); and

(ii)Target Cash. At the Closing, the unrestricted cash included in the Purchased Assets and delivered to Buyer at Closing will not be less than $500 in the point-of-sale system contained in the Aurora Location (the “Target Cash”).

(b)Post-Closing Adjustments. Within 60 days of the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare its calculation of the Marijuana Inventory and the cash actually delivered by Seller to Buyer at the Closing (the “Closing Statement”) and deliver the Closing Statement to Seller for its review. Seller and its professional advisors will have, upon request, reasonable access during regular business hours to Buyer’s books and records to the extent necessary for such review. During a period of 30 days following Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Statement to Seller (the “Objection Period”), if Seller disagrees with any item set forth in the Closing Statement, Seller will give written notice (the “Objection Notice”) to Buyer within the Objection Period, specifying in reasonable detail Seller’s disagreement with any such item set forth on the Closing Statement. The Objection Notice must specify those items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees, and Seller will be deemed

2


to have agreed with all other items contained in the Closing Statement. If Seller does not deliver an Objection Notice within the Objection Period, then Seller will be deemed to have agreed entirely with items set forth on the Closing Statement. If an Objection Notice is delivered within the Objection Period, (i) in the 30-day period following delivery of the Objection Notice, Buyer and Seller will use reasonable efforts to reach an agreement on the disputed items or amounts set forth in the Objection Notice and (ii) if Buyer and Seller are unable to reach an agreement during such 30-day period with respect to all disputed items or amounts, such disputed items or amounts will be resolved by an independent certified public accounting firm (“Settlement Accountant”), to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Such costs of the Settlement Accountant will be borne by Buyer and Seller in inverse proportion to their success on the merits in the resolution of the disputed items or amounts. If the actual Marijuana Inventory as set forth on the final Closing Statement, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) (the “Final Closing Statement”), exceeds 110% of the Target Marijuana Inventory or if the cash actually delivered by Seller to Buyer as set forth on the Final Closing Statement exceeds the Target Cash (the aggregate amount of any such excess or excesses, an “Excess”), Buyer will pay to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in each case, to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller within three Business Days.  If the actual Marijuana Inventory as set forth on the Final Closing Statement is less than 90% of the Target Marijuana Inventory or if the cash actually delivered by Seller to Buyer as set forth on the Final Closing Statement is less than the Target Cash (the aggregate amount of any such deficiency or deficiencies, a “Deficiency”), Seller will pay an amount in cash equal to the Deficiency by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer within three Business Days; provided, however, that Buyer may instead elect to offset such Deficiency from the Indemnity Escrow Amount or from any amounts owed by Buyer to Seller or any Equityholder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lightshade Denver APA.

(c)Purchase Price Allocation; Purchased Assets. For Tax purposes, the parties agree to allocate the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (if any) (and any other items that are treated as consideration paid by Buyer for applicable Tax purposes as of the Closing Date) among the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the methodology set forth on Schedule 2.3(c) (the “Allocation Schedule”), which allocation will be binding on Seller and Equityholders. Buyer, Seller and Equityholders will file Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

(d)Tax Withholding. Buyer will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment contemplated by this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, if Buyer believes that it will be required to deduct or withhold any such amounts, then Buyer shall provide the payee ten days prior written notice so that such payee may provide Buyer such information, documentation, or certification to reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to Seller or such other Person in respect of whom such withholding or deduction was made.

During the Interim Period, Seller will conduct, and Equityholders will cause Seller to conduct, the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business and in material compliance with all Laws, and will keep the Business and its assets and properties, including Seller’s present operations, physical facilities, licenses, working conditions, insurance policies, goodwill and relationships with lessors, licensors, suppliers, customers, employees and other business relations substantially intact, open and operational.

(d)Preservation of Inventory. During the Interim Period, Seller will, and each Equityholder will cause Seller to, use its reasonable efforts to maintain and preserve all inventory associated with the Business in a good and saleable condition, including being non-expired and free from mildew, fungus, rot, spoilage and agricultural neglect. During the Interim Period, Seller will maintain at least substantially similar levels of inventory of flower, trim, concentrate and edibles at the Business location as Seller has maintained over the 12 months prior to the date hereof.

9


(e)Access. The Parties agree that, during the Interim Period and in compliance with the applicable laws of the state of Colorado, Buyer and its authorized agents and representatives will have the right to, upon reasonable notice: (i) inspect and audit the books and records of the Business, (ii) access facilities at the Aurora Location; and (iii) consult with Seller’s officers, directors, managers, employees, attorneys, auditors and accountants concerning customary due diligence, employment, employee benefits and other matters, in each case as related to the Business. Such access will be during the regular hours of the Business and in a manner not to unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Business.

(f)Notice of Developments. During the Interim Period, Seller will, and Equityholders will cause Seller to, give prompt written notice to Buyer of any event, occurrence or development causing, or allegation by a third party which, if true, would cause, or which would reasonably be expected to cause: (i) a breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties in Article III; (ii) any breach or nonperformance of or noncompliance with any covenant or agreement of Seller or any Equityholder in this Agreement or any Related Agreement; (iii) the failure of any condition set forth in Section 6.1; (iv) any material damage to or loss or destruction of any properties or assets owned or leased or otherwise used, or held for use, by Seller (whether or not insured); or (v) the occurrence or threatened occurrence of any event or condition which resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material and adverse effect on the Business or the Purchased Assets. No disclosure by any Party pursuant to this Section 5.1(f) will be deemed to amend or supplement the schedules to this Agreement or prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or breach of covenant, agreement or obligation.

(g)Exclusivity. During the Interim Period, neither Seller nor any Equityholder will, and each will cause each of such Person’s respective officers, employees, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, advisors, representatives, agents and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly solicit, initiate, encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or take any other action to facilitate any inquiry or the making of any proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any acquisition or purchase of a substantial portion of the assets, equity interests or other securities of the Business or any tender offer or exchange offer, merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of substantially all assets, sale of securities, recapitalization, spin-off, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Business, or any other transaction, the consummation of which would or could reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement (any of the foregoing, an “Alternate Transaction Proposal”) or agree to or endorse any Alternate Transaction Proposal. Seller and each Equityholder will promptly notify Buyer of any Alternate Transaction Proposal and provide a summary of the material terms thereof.

Section 5.2.Post-Closing Covenants.

(a)Restrictive Covenants.

(i)From and after the Closing, Seller and Equityholders will keep confidential and not disclose to any other Person or use for such Person’s own benefit or the benefit of any other Person any confidential or non-public information specifically related to the Business (and which is not used in the other businesses of Seller) or the Purchased Assets. The obligation of Seller, Equityholders and their Affiliates under this Section 5.2(a)(i) will not apply to information that is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of the commitment provided for in this Section 5.2(a)(i) or is required to be disclosed by applicable Law; provided, however, that, in the case of a required disclosure, Seller, Equityholders or such other Person, as applicable, will notify Buyer as early as reasonably practicable prior to disclosure to allow Buyer to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such information.

(ii)As a material inducement to Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller and each Equityholder agree that, from the Closing Date through the three-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Restricted Period”), Seller and each Equityholder will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly own any interest in, manage, control, participate in (whether as an owner, officer, director, manager, employee, partner, agent, representative or otherwise), consult with, render services for, become employed by, or in any other manner engage in the retail sale of cannabis or cannabis product within the Restricted Area, provided, however, that Equityholders (and their applicable Affiliates) may engage in the ownership and operation of the recreational marijuana dispensaries currently owned and operated by Seller or any Equityholder located in Aurora, Colorado. Nothing herein will prohibit any such Person from being a passive owner of not more than two percent of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation involved in the cannabis business that is publicly traded. “Restricted Area” means any area within a two-mile radius of the Aurora Location.

(iii)As a material inducement to Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, from the Closing Date through the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Solicit Restricted Period”), Seller and each Equityholder: (A) will not, and will cause their respective employees, officers, directors, managers,

10


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); provided, however, that this Section 5.2(a)(iii)(A) will not prohibit any such Person from 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); and (B) will not induce or attempt to induce any person or entity, who during the one-year period prior to Closing, was a customer or other business relation of the Business to terminate its relationship or contract with Buyer or its Affiliates, to cease doing business with Buyer or its Affiliates, or in any way adversely interfere with the relationship between any such customer or business relation and Buyer or its Affiliates; provided, however, that this Section 5.2(a)(iii)(B) will not prohibit any general advertising or other action that is not specifically directed at customers or other business relations of the Business.

(iv)From and after the Closing, neither Seller nor any Equityholder on the one hand, nor Buyer on the hand, will, and will cause their respective employees, officers, directors, managers, agents and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly denigrate, defame or disparage the other party(ies) or its Affiliates and their respective equityholders, managers, directors, officers, employees, independent contractors or representatives or the Business.

(v)Seller and each Equityholder, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, each acknowledge and agree that, in the event of a breach or alleged breach by such party(ies) of any of the provisions of this Section 5.2(a), monetary damages will not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach or alleged breach, the other party(ies), their Affiliates and their successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance, injunctive relief, or both, or any other equitable remedies available to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the extension of the Non-Compete Restricted Period or Non-Solicit Restricted Period, as applicable, by a period equal to (A) the length of the violation of this Section 5.2(a) plus (B) the length of any court proceedings necessary to stop such violation), in each case, without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

(b)Inability to Assign Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement, to the extent that the assignment or attempted assignment to Buyer of any Contract or Permit that is included among the Purchased Assets and is set forth on Schedule 1.1(a)(iii) (each, an “Assigned Contract”), if any, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, is prohibited by any Law, or would require any consent, waiver, authorization, notice or novation by any Person, and such consent, waiver, authorization, notice or novation has not been obtained or made prior to the Closing in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, or with respect to which any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would materially and adversely affect the rights of Seller or Buyer thereunder, then neither this Agreement nor any Related Agreement will constitute an assignment or attempted assignment thereof, and the same will not be assigned at the Closing. If any consent, waiver, authorization, novation or notice that is necessary for the effective assignment to Buyer of any Assigned Contract (if any) cannot be obtained or made and, as a result, the material benefits of such Assigned Contract (if any) cannot be provided to Buyer following the Closing as otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, then Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to, with respect to any such Assigned Contracts (if any), for a period of six months, cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer with the rights and benefits under such Assigned Contract (if any), including enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller against any other party to such Assigned Contract (if any) arising out of any breach or cancellation of such Assigned Contract (if any) by such other party and, if requested by Buyer, acting as an agent on behalf of Buyer. Once any such consent, waiver, authorization, or novation is obtained or notice is properly made in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, Seller will assign such Assigned Contract (if any) to Buyer at no additional cost to Buyer.

(c)Post-Closing Payments. After the Closing, Seller and Equityholders will cause any financial institution to which any cash, deposits, online payments, cybercurrency, checks or other instruments of payment are delivered to an account not transferred to Buyer at the Closing with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities (if any), including, without limitation, funds relating to any accounts receivable or any other Purchased Assets, through any “lock-box” or similar arrangement, to immediately remit same to Buyer, but in all cases within five Business Days after receipt thereof. Seller will periodically provide Buyer with such additional evidence or supporting detail as Buyer may reasonably request regarding particular payments or outstanding accounts included in the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities (if any).

(d)Apportionment of Taxes and Cooperation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller and Equityholders will be jointly and severally liable and will indemnify Buyer for all Taxes attributable to the ownership or sale of the Business or Purchased Assets or any operations of Seller for all taxable periods (or portions thereof)

11


ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Taxes”). Taxes that are real, personal or intangible property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations that are imposed on a periodic basis levied with respect to any tax period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date will be allocated proportionally as Pre-Closing Taxes based on the number of days in such Tax period included in the period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing. If Buyer makes a payment of any Pre-Closing Taxes or any Taxes specified below, it will be entitled to prompt reimbursement from Seller or Equityholders for such Taxes upon presentation to Seller of evidence of such payment. Seller and Equityholders will be jointly and severally liable to, and will indemnify, Buyer for any sales, use, documentary, recording, stamp, value added, excise, transfer or similar Taxes arising from the sale of the Purchased Assets or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”), and Seller will timely file any Tax Return or other necessary documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes. Claims arising under this Section 5.2(d) will survive for the full period of any applicable statute of limitations plus an additional 60 days. After the Closing, Buyer, Seller and each Equityholder shall: (i) assist the other Party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing; and (ii) make available to the other party and to any Governmental Authority as reasonably requested, all information, records and documents relating to Taxes relating to the Business or Purchased Assets.

Section 5.3.Release of Claims(a). Effective as of the Closing, except with respect to (a) Seller and each Equityholder’s rights under this Agreement and the Related Agreement, including any rights to any Legal Proceeding to enforce the terms of or any breach of this Agreement or any Related Agreement, and (b) if (and only if) Equityholder is an officer, manager or director of Seller, any rights, if any, with respect to any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy protecting Equityholder in such position, each Equityholder and Seller (collectively, the “Releasors”), unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and forever discharges Buyer and each of its Affiliates (each, a “Released Person”), from any past, present or future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, Liability, action or cause of action of any kind or nature, whether unknown, unsuspected or undisclosed, related to any matters, causes, conditions, acts, conduct, claims, circumstances or events arising out of or related to the Business, and none of any Equityholder, Seller or any other Releasor will seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from any Released Person.

Section 5.4.Employee Matters.

(a)Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in its efforts to employ any employees of the Business requested by Buyer, including those scheduled on Schedule 5.4(a)(i), and engage any independent contractors of Seller requested by Buyer, including those listed on Schedule 5.4(a)(ii).  Buyer agrees to offer employment to substantially all of the employees of Seller set forth on Schedule 5.4(a)(i) which are employed by Seller as of the Closing (including any replacements thereof); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer will not be required to offer employment to, and may not offer employment to, without Seller’s prior written consent, those employees of Seller who manage corporate operations of Seller and are listed on Schedule 5.4(a)(iii) (the “Excluded Employees”).  Any employees of Seller who accept employment with Buyer, execute any documents required by Buyer to be executed in connection therewith and begin employment with Buyer are referred to herein collectively as the “Transferred Employees.”

(b)Buyer will have no obligation to offer employment to, and will have no Liability to, any employee of Seller, including any employee who, on the Closing Date, is not actively employed by Seller or any Excluded Employee.  Seller will bear all responsibility for, and related costs associated with the termination of any of its employees, including complying with applicable Laws. Prior to the Closing, Seller will terminate, effective no later than as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, all employees (other than Excluded Employees) of Seller who have not been made any offer of employment with Buyer or declined employment with Buyer.  Simultaneously with such termination, Seller will pay each such terminated employee and each such terminated independent contractors all amounts owed and due under Law, and all other amounts due and owed (including termination or severance pay) in accordance with any contract or Law.

(c)Nothing contained in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby will confer upon any Transferred Employee or any other present or former employee of Seller any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby, including any right to employment or continued employment or to any compensation or benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement of Buyer, nor will anything contained in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby constitute a limitation on or restriction against the right of Buyer to amend, modify or terminate any such plan, policy or arrangement or compensation, benefits or other terms or conditions of employment.

12


(d)Seller and Buyer agree that Seller will be liable for all Liabilities of Seller with respect to Seller’s employees and independent contractors (including all Transferred Employees) arising or accruing prior to the Closing Date and including any employment Taxes imposed with respect to any payments of compensation to employees and independent contractors arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of whether arising at or before the Closing, and Buyer will be and become liable for all employment-related Liabilities of the Transferred Employees and all Liabilities first arising after the Closing Date.

Section 5.5.Use of Name. Seller hereby grants Buyer a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, sublicensable license to display, copy, and otherwise use the “Lightshade” name and any logos or branding associated therewith, for a period of 30 days immediately following the Closing, including but not limited to displaying such name, logos and/or branding at the Aurora Location, and any associated online content, marketing collateral and other materials.

ARTICLE II.

PURCHASE PRICE AND RELATED MATTERS

Section 2.1.Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration payable by Buyer to Seller for the Purchased Assets is an amount equal to $1,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”).

Section 2.2.Payment of Purchase Price at the Closing. At the Closing, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2:

(a)Cash Consideration. Subject to Section 2.2(c) below (and without duplication for any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Lightshade Aurora APA), Buyer will pay, or cause to be paid, the following amounts to the following Persons:


(i)the aggregate amount of Indebtedness identified in the Payoff Letters (the “Closing Date Repaid Indebtedness”) pursuant to, and in the amounts and to the Persons specified in, the respective Payoff Letters, if not already paid pursuant to the Lightshade Aurora APA;

(ii)the aggregate amount of the Seller Transaction Expenses identified in the Seller Transaction Expenses Invoices (the “Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses”) pursuant to, and in the amounts and to the Persons specified in, the respective Seller Transaction Expenses Invoices, if not already paid pursuant to the Lightshade Aurora APA; and

(iii)an amount equal to (A) the Purchase Price, minus (B) the Closing Date Repaid Indebtedness, if any, minus (C) the Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses, if any, minus (D) the Indemnity Escrow Amount, if any, to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of Seller designated by Seller in writing prior to the Closing Date.

(b)Indemnity Escrow Amount. Subject to Section 2.2(c) below (and without duplication for any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Lightshade Aurora APA), Buyer will deposit an aggregate total of $300,000 (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount”) from the proceeds of the Purchase Price payable at the Closing into an escrow account pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Escrow Agreement”) for purposes of securing certain obligations of Seller and the Equityholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Lightshade Aurora APA, if not already paid pursuant to the Lightshade Aurora APA. The Indemnity Escrow Amount will be held and disbursed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, the Lightshade Aurora APA (including Section 8.1(e) thereunder), and this Agreement (including Section 8.1(e)). For the avoidance of doubt, the $300,000 Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be the aggregate total amount deposited by Buyer into an escrow account for purposes of securing certain obligations of Seller and the Equityholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Lightshade Aurora APA.

(c)Other Transaction; No Duplication. The Parties acknowledge and agree that as of the date hereof, the Parties are also entering into the Lightshade Aurora APA (together, with this Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”), both Purchase Agreements are based on the same form, and both Purchase Agreements require payment of the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the same (or substantially similar) Closing Date Repaid Indebtedness and Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses, but payment of such foregoing amounts is only required once under both Purchase Agreements. In the event the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements do not close simultaneously, then, upon the first transaction to close, Buyer will (i) deposit the entire Indemnity Escrow Amount and (ii) pay, or cause to be paid, the entire amount of any Closing Date Repaid Indebtedness and Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses as is required by the applicable Purchase Agreement, such that, upon closing of the second transaction, no payments will need to be made with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Amount, Closing Date Repaid Indebtedness or the Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses (and no deduction of the Purchase Price will need to be made therefore pursuant to Section 2.2(a)) under the applicable Purchase Agreement.

Section 2.3.Financial Requirements; Post-Closing Adjustments.

(a)Financial Requirements.

(i)Target Marijuana Inventory. At the Closing, the aggregate value of Marijuana Inventory included in the Purchased Assets located at the Denver Location and delivered to Buyer will be not less than $51,796, calculated at actual cost-basis, which is equal to the last purchase price paid by Seller to purchase the Marijuana Inventory or Seller’s cost of goods sold in manufacturing the applicable Marijuana Inventory, as applicable (the “Target Marijuana Inventory”); and

(ii)Target Cash. At the Closing, the unrestricted cash included in the Purchased Assets and delivered to Buyer at Closing will not be less than $500 in the point-of-sale system contained in the Denver Location (the “Target Cash”).

(b)Post-Closing Adjustments. Within 60 days of the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare its calculation of the Marijuana Inventory and the cash actually delivered by Seller to Buyer at the Closing (the “Closing Statement”) and deliver the Closing Statement to Seller for its review. Seller and its professional advisors will have, upon request, reasonable access during regular business hours to Buyer’s books and records to the extent necessary for such review. During a period of 30 days following Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Statement to Seller (the “Objection Period”), if Seller disagrees with any item set forth in the Closing Statement, Seller will give written notice (the “Objection Notice”) to Buyer within the Objection Period, specifying in reasonable detail Seller’s disagreement with any such item set forth on the Closing Statement. The Objection Notice must specify those items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees, and Seller will be deemed

2


to have agreed with all other items contained in the Closing Statement. If Seller does not deliver an Objection Notice within the Objection Period, then Seller will be deemed to have agreed entirely with items set forth on the Closing Statement. If an Objection Notice is delivered within the Objection Period, (i) in the 30-day period following delivery of the Objection Notice, Buyer and Seller will use reasonable efforts to reach an agreement on the disputed items or amounts set forth in the Objection Notice and (ii) if Buyer and Seller are unable to reach an agreement during such 30-day period with respect to all disputed items or amounts, such disputed items or amounts will be resolved by an independent certified public accounting firm (“Settlement Accountant”), to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Such costs of the Settlement Accountant will be borne by Buyer and Seller in inverse proportion to their success on the merits in the resolution of the disputed items or amounts. If the actual Marijuana Inventory as set forth on the final Closing Statement, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) (the “Final Closing Statement”), exceeds 110% of the Target Marijuana Inventory or if the cash actually delivered by Seller to Buyer as set forth on the Final Closing Statement exceeds the Target Cash (the aggregate amount of any such excess or excesses, an “Excess”), Buyer will pay to Seller an amount in cash equal to the Excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in each case, to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller within three Business Days.  If the actual Marijuana Inventory as set forth on the Final Closing Statement is less than 90% of the Target Marijuana Inventory or if the cash actually delivered by Seller to Buyer as set forth on the Final Closing Statement is less than the Target Cash (the aggregate amount of any such deficiency or deficiencies, a “Deficiency”), Seller will pay an amount in cash equal to the Deficiency by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer within three Business Days; provided, however, that Buyer may instead elect to offset such Deficiency from the Indemnity Escrow Amount or from any amounts owed by Buyer to Seller or any Equityholder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lightshade Aurora APA.

(c)Purchase Price Allocation; Purchased Assets. For Tax purposes, the parties agree to allocate the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (if any) (and any other items that are treated as consideration paid by Buyer for applicable Tax purposes as of the Closing Date) among the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the methodology set forth on Schedule 2.3(c) (the “Allocation Schedule”), which allocation will be binding on Seller and Equityholders. Buyer, Seller and Equityholders will file Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

(d)Tax Withholding. Buyer will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment contemplated by this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, if Buyer believes that it will be required to deduct or withhold any such amounts, then Buyer shall provide the payee ten days prior written notice so that such payee may provide Buyer such information, documentation, or certification to reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to Seller or such other Person in respect of whom such withholding or deduction was made.

Nothing herein will prohibit any such Person from being a passive owner of not more than two percent of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation involved in the cannabis business that is publicly traded. “Restricted Area” means any area within a two-mile radius of the Denver Location.

(iii)As a material inducement to Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, from the Closing Date through the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Solicit Restricted Period”), Seller and each Equityholder: (A) will not, and will cause their respective employees, officers, directors, managers,

(v)Seller and each Equityholder, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, each acknowledge and agree that, in the event of a breach or alleged breach by such party(ies) of any of the provisions of this Section 5.2(a), monetary damages will not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach or alleged breach, the other party(ies), their Affiliates and their successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance, injunctive relief, or both, or any other equitable remedies available to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the extension of the Non-Compete Restricted Period or Non-Solicit Restricted Period, as applicable, by a period equal to (A) the length of the violation of this Section 5.2(a) plus (B) the length of any court proceedings necessary to stop such violation), in each case, without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

(b)Inability to Assign Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement, to the extent that the assignment or attempted assignment to Buyer of any Contract or Permit that is included among the Purchased Assets and is set forth on Schedule 1.1(a)(iii) (each, an “Assigned Contract”), if any, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, is prohibited by any Law, or would require any consent, waiver, authorization, notice or novation by any Person, and such consent, waiver, authorization, notice or novation has not been obtained or made prior to the Closing in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, or with respect to which any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would materially and adversely affect the rights of Seller or Buyer thereunder, then neither this Agreement nor any Related Agreement will constitute an assignment or attempted assignment thereof, and the same will not be assigned at the Closing. If any consent, waiver, authorization, novation or notice that is necessary for the effective assignment to Buyer of any Assigned Contract (if any) cannot be obtained or made and, as a result, the material benefits of such Assigned Contract (if any) cannot be provided to Buyer following the Closing as otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, then Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to, with respect to any such Assigned Contracts (if any), for a period of six months, cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer with the rights and benefits under such Assigned Contract (if any), including enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller against any other party to such Assigned Contract (if any) arising out of any breach or cancellation of such Assigned Contract (if any) by such other party and, if requested by Buyer, acting as an agent on behalf of Buyer. Once any such consent, waiver, authorization, or novation is obtained or notice is properly made in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, Seller will assign such Assigned Contract (if any) to Buyer at no additional cost to Buyer.

(c)Post-Closing Payments. After the Closing, Seller and Equityholders will cause any financial institution to which any cash, deposits, online payments, cybercurrency, checks or other instruments of payment are delivered to an account not transferred to Buyer at the Closing with respect to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities (if any), including, without limitation, funds relating to any accounts receivable or any other Purchased Assets, through any “lock-box” or similar arrangement, to immediately remit same to Buyer, but in all cases within five Business Days after receipt thereof. Seller will periodically provide Buyer with such additional evidence or supporting detail as Buyer may reasonably request regarding particular payments or outstanding accounts included in the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities (if any).

(d)Apportionment of Taxes and Cooperation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller and Equityholders will be jointly and severally liable and will indemnify Buyer for all Taxes attributable to the ownership or sale of the Business or Purchased Assets or any operations of Seller for all taxable periods (or portions thereof)

11


ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Taxes”). Taxes that are real, personal or intangible property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations that are imposed on a periodic basis levied with respect to any tax period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date will be allocated proportionally as Pre-Closing Taxes based on the number of days in such Tax period included in the period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing. If Buyer makes a payment of any Pre-Closing Taxes or any Taxes specified below, it will be entitled to prompt reimbursement from Seller or Equityholders for such Taxes upon presentation to Seller of evidence of such payment. Seller and Equityholders will be jointly and severally liable to, and will indemnify, Buyer for any sales, use, documentary, recording, stamp, value added, excise, transfer or similar Taxes arising from the sale of the Purchased Assets or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”), and Seller will timely file any Tax Return or other necessary documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes. Claims arising under this Section 5.2(d) will survive for the full period of any applicable statute of limitations plus an additional 60 days. After the Closing, Buyer, Seller and each Equityholder shall: (i) assist the other Party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing; and (ii) make available to the other party and to any Governmental Authority as reasonably requested, all information, records and documents relating to Taxes relating to the Business or Purchased Assets.

Section 5.3.Release of Claims. Effective as of the Closing, except with respect to (a) Seller and each Equityholder’s rights under this Agreement and the Related Agreement, including any rights to any Legal Proceeding to enforce the terms of or any breach of this Agreement or any Related Agreement, and (b) if (and only if) Equityholder is an officer, manager or director of Seller, any rights, if any, with respect to any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy protecting Equityholder in such position, each Equityholder and Seller (collectively, the “Releasors”), unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and forever discharges Buyer and each of its Affiliates (each, a “Released Person”), from any past, present or future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, Liability, action or cause of action of any kind or nature, whether unknown, unsuspected or undisclosed, related to any matters, causes, conditions, acts, conduct, claims, circumstances or events arising out of or related to the Business, and none of any Equityholder, Seller or any other Releasor will seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from any Released Person.

Section 5.4.Employee Matters.

(a)Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in its efforts to employ any employees of the Business requested by Buyer, including those scheduled on Schedule 5.4(a)(i), and engage any independent contractors of Seller requested by Buyer, including those listed on Schedule 5.4(a)(ii).  Buyer agrees to offer employment to substantially all of the employees of Seller set forth on Schedule 5.4(a)(i) which are employed by Seller as of the Closing (including any replacements thereof); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer will not be required to offer employment to, and may not offer employment to, without Seller’s prior written consent, those employees of Seller who manage corporate operations of Seller and are listed on Schedule 5.4(a)(iii) (the “Excluded Employees”).  Any employees of Seller who accept employment with Buyer, execute any documents required by Buyer to be executed in connection therewith and begin employment with Buyer are referred to herein collectively as the “Transferred Employees.”

(b)Buyer will have no obligation to offer employment to, and will have no Liability to, any employee of Seller, including any employee who, on the Closing Date, is not actively employed by Seller or any Excluded Employee.  Seller will bear all responsibility for, and related costs associated with the termination of any of its employees, including complying with applicable Laws. Prior to the Closing, Seller will terminate, effective no later than as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, all employees (other than Excluded Employees) of Seller who have not been made any offer of employment with Buyer or declined employment with Buyer.  Simultaneously with such termination, Seller will pay each such terminated employee and each such terminated independent contractors all amounts owed and due under Law, and all other amounts due and owed (including termination or severance pay) in accordance with any contract or Law.

(c)Nothing contained in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby will confer upon any Transferred Employee or any other present or former employee of Seller any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby, including any right to employment or continued employment or to any compensation or benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement of Buyer, nor will anything contained in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby constitute a limitation on or restriction against the right of Buyer to amend, modify or terminate any such plan, policy or arrangement or compensation, benefits or other terms or conditions of employment.

12


(d)Seller and Buyer agree that Seller will be liable for all Liabilities of Seller with respect to Seller’s employees and independent contractors (including all Transferred Employees) arising or accruing prior to the Closing Date and including any employment Taxes imposed with respect to any payments of compensation to employees and independent contractors arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of whether arising at or before the Closing, and Buyer will be and become liable for all employment-related Liabilities of the Transferred Employees and all Liabilities first arising after the Closing Date.

Section 5.5.Use of Name. Seller hereby grants Buyer a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, sublicensable license to display, copy, and otherwise use the “Lightshade” name and any logos or branding associated therewith, for a period of 30 days immediately following the Closing, including but not limited to displaying such name, logos and/or branding at the Denver Location, and any associated online content, marketing collateral and other materials.

Such remedies are not exclusive of any other remedies the Buyer Indemnified Party may exercise at law or in equity to satisfy Seller’s and Equityholders’ indemnification obligations hereunder.

(e)Indemnity Escrow. Subject to the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnity Escrow Amount, less any amounts that have been released to compensate any Buyer Indemnified Party for Damages as provided in Section 8.1 of this Agreement or Section 8.1 of the Lightshade Aurora APA, or to compensate for a Deficiency as provided in Section 2.3(b) of this Agreement or Section 2.3(b) of the Lightshade Aurora APA, will be released to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after the Release Date; provided, however, that any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount that is necessary to satisfy any pending claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or the Lightshade Aurora APA that is specified in a written notice delivered to Seller prior to 11:59 p.m., Mountain Time, on the Release Date will not be payable to Seller hereunder until final resolution of all such claims, at which time the amount of the Indemnity Escrow Amount held back to satisfy such pending claims, to the extent not released to compensate any Buyer Indemnified Party for Damages as provided in Section 8.1 of this Agreement or Section 8.1 of the Lightshade Aurora APA will be released to Seller.

STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

This Stock Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 23, 2022, by and between Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., d/b/a Schwazze, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Jonathan Berger, who is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Participant”) under and in accordance with the Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

1.Award of Shares.

1.1Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Participant this Stock Award, for service as a Lead Independent Director of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) previously rendered and to be rendered during the year in which this Agreement is executed. Pursuant to this Stock Award, the Participant is entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the “Determined Amount.” For purposes of this Agreement and the Plan, the “Determined Amount” means the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole share) equal to $100,000 divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on September 22, 2022 for service as Lead Independent Director of the Board. For clarity, this Agreement hereby makes an award of 102,355 shares of Common Stock (that is, $100,000 divided by $0.977), to the Participant (the “Awarded Shares”).

1.2Consideration. The Stock Award being made pursuant to this Agreement and under the Plan is intended to (a) attract and retain highly qualified individuals to serve as directors of the Company and chair Board committees, (b) increase non-employee directors’ stock ownership in the Company and (c) align non-employee directors’ financial interests more closely with those of the stockholders of the Company.

1.3Plan Document Governs. The Awarded Shares and this Agreement are subject to all of the applicable terms and conditions of the Plan as approved by the Company’s stockholders. The terms and provisions of the Plan as it may be amended from time to time are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained in this Agreement and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail. Capitalized words and phrases used but not defined herein will have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

1.4Additional Agreements. Participant agrees upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of the Award.

2.Payment for the Awarded Shares. The Participant shall not be required to make any payment for the Awarded Shares granted under this Agreement.

3.Vesting. Subject to the transfer restrictions under this Agreement, the Plan and the Company’s governing documents, the Participant shall have full beneficial ownership of, and rights and privileges of a shareholder as to Awarded Shares, including the right to vote and the right to receive dividends.

4.Issuance of Shares.

1


4.1Timing of Issuance. As soon as administratively practicable after this Agreement is fully executed, the Company shall issue the shares of Common Stock representing the Awarded Shares registered in the name of the Participant, the Participant’s authorized assignee, or the Participant’s legal representative, which issuance shall be evidenced by stock certificates representing the shares with the appropriate legends affixed thereto, appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent, or other appropriate means as determined by the Company.

4.2Issuance Subject to Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to deliver the shares of Common Stock awarded under this Agreement and the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies or regulatory authorities as may be required or be deemed necessary or appropriate by counsel for the Company.

5.Stockholder Rights. The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Awarded Shares of Common Stock unless and until certificates representing the shares have been issued by the Company to the Participant as the holder of such shares, or the shares have otherwise been recorded on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent as owned by such holder.

6.Limitations on Transfer.

6.1Transferability. The Participant will not sell, assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Awarded Shares except in compliance with this Agreement, the Company’s bylaws, any stockholders’ agreement that the Participant may be required to execute, applicable securities laws or Company or underwriter trading policies. For clarity, no sale, transfer or other disposition of the Awarded Shares or any interest in the Awarded Shares may occur unless the Company has first determined that such sale, transfer or other disposition is permitted by applicable securities laws (even if otherwise allowed by this Agreement and the Company’s corporate governance documents).

6.2Restrictive Legends. Certificates for the Awarded Shares may include any legend which the Company deems appropriate to reflect any or all of the applicable restrictions on transfers.

6.3Stop-Transfer Orders. The Participant agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein and the Plan, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. In addition, the Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Awarded Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan or other governing document or (ii) to treat as the owner or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Awarded Shares shall have been so transferred.

7.Adjustments. If the outstanding Common Stock shall at any time be changed or exchanged by exchanges of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the number of Awarded Shares may be adjusted or terminated in any manner as contemplated by Section 11 of the Plan.

8.Withholding; Tax Liability.

8.1Withholding. If the Company, in its discretion, determines that it is obligated to withhold any tax in connection with the grant of the Awarded Shares to the Participant, the Participant must

2


make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to pay or provide for any applicable federal, state and local withholding obligations of the Company. The Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the Awarded Shares by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the award made pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock. The Company has the right to withhold taxes from any compensation paid to a Participant.

8.2Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting, or any other action related to the Awarded Shares or the subsequent sale of any of the Award Shares and (b) does not commit to structure the award made under this Agreement and pursuant to the Plan to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

8.3The Participant understands and agrees that (a) the Company will only recognize the Participant as a record holder of the Awarded Shares if the Participant has paid or made, prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy any withholding obligation the Company may have for Tax-Related Items and (b) the Company has no obligation to deliver the Awarded Shares to or on behalf of the Participant until the Participant has satisfied the obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

9.Leak Out. All shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement may be liquidated at a daily rate of no more than 5% of the preceding 5 day average volume of the Company’s Common Stock on any given trading day.

10.Award Subject to Company Clawback or Recoupment. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Awarded Shares shall be subject to clawback or recoupment pursuant to any compensation clawback or recoupment policy adopted by the Board or required by law during the term of your employment or other service that is applicable to the Participant. In addition to any other remedies available under such policy, applicable law may require the cancellation of this Stock Bonus Award and the recoupment of any gains realized with respect to the Stock Bonus Award described in this Agreement.

11.Compliance with Law. The issuance and transfer of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws, regulatory agencies and any stock exchange or other trading market on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock may be listed or quoted. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to this Agreement unless and until any then applicable requirements of state or federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. The Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the shares of Common Stock with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such compliance.

12.Notices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Company under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the General Counsel of the Company at the Company’s principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Participant under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Participant at the Participant’s address as shown in the records of the Company. Either

3


party hereto may designate another address in writing (or by such other method approved by the Company) from time to time.

13.Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada without regard to conflict of law principles.

14.Venue and Jurisdiction. Notwithstanding Section 13 of this Agreement and Section 12(E) (“Choice of Law”)  of the Plan, except as the laws of the United States may otherwise require, any and all disputes relating to or arising under this Agreement to enforce this Agreement shall be brought by civil action and resolved only in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (the “Court”), which shall have and retain continuing and exclusive jurisdiction over this Agreement. The Participant, by virtue of his or her participation in the Plan, irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue in the Court, and that any and all disputes shall be adjudicated solely by the Court, and further irrevocably waive any objection or defense based on lack of venue, personal jurisdiction, forum non conveniens, transfer, priority doctrines, and any defense(s) of similar type or import.

15.Interpretation. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations and understandings. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Participant or the Company to the full Board for review. The resolution of such dispute by the Board shall be final and binding on the Participant and the Company.

16.Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement will be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the person(s) to whom this Agreement may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

17.Discretionary Nature of Plan. The Plan is discretionary and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company at any time, in its discretion. The grant of the Stock Award in this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any shares of Common Stock or other Awards in the future. Future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Any amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant’s service with the Company.

18.Amendment. The Board has the right to amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or cancel this Award made pursuant to this Agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided, that, no such amendment shall adversely affect the Participant’s material rights under this Agreement without the Participant’s consent.

The Participant represents that he or she has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts this Award subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon receipt of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement or disposition of the shares of Common Stock and that the Participant should consult the Participant’s personal tax advisor prior to such receipt or disposition. In accepting this Award and executing this Agreement, the Participant agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Company upon any questions relating to the Plan and this Agreement.

4


20.Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

iv.

Approved Products sold through the Stores must meet minimum revenue targets to be mutually agreed to by the Parties during the Quarterly Review;

vii.

The Parties will enter into a mutually acceptable supply agreement for the Approved Products; and

viii.If during the Quarterly Review, either Party identifies an item within section 2(c) for discussion, the Parties agree to work in good faith to determine an adjustment(s) to which the Parties mutually agree.

d.During the Term, the Parties will work collaboratively to apply Sections 2.c.i- viii. to any future Schwazze distribution channels (e.g., retail stores and omnichannel assets) in States outside of the Territory where Schwazze is operating.

The Company shall, with respect to any information provided under this subsection f., comply with the terms of the Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement.

3.Project Management. Each Party will provide an employee (“Account Manager”) focused on the Parties’ brand collaboration agreement, with the goal of developing, launching, carrying and distributing Approved Products that fit the Parties’ mutually agreed business strategies. It is the intent of the Parties that each Party’s Account Manager will collaborate in good faith with the other Party’s Account Manager to address issues and resolve concerns and disputes in a manner that is consistent with the Parties’ status as business collaborators. Each Party will use reasonable efforts to cause its Account Manager to meet via teleconference, video conference or in person at least once per quarter (each quarter defined as successive 3-month periods following the Effective Date) to (a) discuss product performance, marketing plans, merchandise strategy and any other relevant matters, (b) address any outstanding issues or disputes between the Parties, and (c) discuss any other business between the Parties relating to their collaboration hereunder.

c.In connection with the foregoing license grants contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4, each Party will comply with the other Party’s brand and/or marketing guidelines as may be communicated to such Party from time to time.

5.

Compensation to Schwazze.

a.Option. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to Schwazze an option to purchase five and one-half percent (5.5%) of the Fully Diluted Shares of common stock of the Company with a term of eighteen (18) months and an aggregate exercise price of $1,000,000, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

b.Convertible Preferred Stock. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Company issued convertible preferred stock of the Company in exchange for two million dollars ($2,000,000) from Schwazze, pursuant to the terms of that certain Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 20, 2022.

c.Earn-In. Upon the expiration of each Testing Period, the Company shall issue to Schwazze warrants, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, granting Schwazze the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to: (i) the Schwazze Ownership Percentage during such Testing Period multiplied by (ii) the Fully Diluted Shares then outstanding divided by (iii) the total of 100% minus the Schwazze Ownership Percentage; provided, however that the maximum number of shares of the Company’s stock that Schwazze may acquire pursuant to such warrants over time shall not exceed 20% of the total Fully Diluted Shares.

6


i.

For example, if Mission products have $10,000,000 of total wholesale revenue and Mission has 10,000,000 Fully Diluted Shares and generates $1,000,000 of wholesale revenue to Mission through Schwazze channels then:

1.

Schwazze Value = $1,000,000 * 20% = $200,000

2.

Mission Value = $10,000,000

3.

Schwazze Ownership % = $200,000 / $10,000,000 = 2%

4.

Warrants issued = 2% * 10,000,000 / 98% = 204,081 warrants

ii.

Such warrants shall be vested 12 months after issuance only if in the subsequent 12-month period to a Testing Period revenue to Mission through Schwazze channels are no less than 80% of the revenue to Mission through Schwazze channels during the original Testing Period; otherwise the warrants will terminate The reduction in revenue cannot occur as a direct result of the action or inaction of Mission (e.g., reduction in supply from Mission to Schwazze, recall, etc). In the event Schwazze exercises the Buy-Out Option all outstanding warrants will vest.

6.

Representations and Warranties of the Company.

The Company represents and warrants that:

a.It has all necessary approvals from its shareholders and board of directors to timely fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

b.The Company’s capitalization table attached as Exhibit C is current and accurate as of the date hereof.

The Company shall give the Holder written notice of the expiration of the Exercise Period not less than ten (10) days, but not more than sixty (60) days, prior to the end of the Exercise Period.

(b)Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant for all or any part of the Warrant Shares until the first (1st) anniversary of the date hereof (the “Vesting Period”). Thereafter, Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant for all or any part of the Warrant Shares only if the revenue generated by the Company through Holder’s channels (the “Vesting Period Revenue”) during the Vesting Period is more than eighty percent (80%) of the revenue generated by the Company through Holder’s channels during the Testing Period (as defined in the Brand Agreement) applicable to the issuance of this Warrant (the “Vesting Condition”), all as determined in accordance with Section 5.c. of

21


the Brand Agreement; provided, however, to the extent any such reduction in Vesting Period Revenue occurs as a direct result of the action or inaction of the Company (e.g., reduction in supply from Mission to Schwazze, recall, etc.), such reduction shall not be included in the aforementioned calculation for determining the satisfaction of the Vesting Condition. If the Vesting Condition is not satisfied, then this Warrant and the Holder’s right to exercise this Warrant for all or any part of the Warrant Shares shall terminate in all respects and for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Holder exercises the Buy-Out Option (as defined in the Brand Agreement), Holder’s right to exercise this Warrant for all or any part of the Warrant Shares shall automatically vest.

3.

Exercise of Warrant.

(a)Exercise Procedure. Following the expiration of the Vesting Period and upon the satisfaction of the Vesting Condition, this Warrant may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:

(i)surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), together with a Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Notice”), duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed; and

(ii)payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b).

(b)Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder as expressed in the Exercise Notice, by the following methods:

(i)by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price; or

(ii)by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price.

In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares pursuant to clause (ii) above where the number of shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) based on the incremental fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an amount equal to the product of (x) such incremental

22


fraction of a share being so withheld or surrendered multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share as of the Exercise Date.

(c)Delivery of Stock Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter, execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 3(d) hereof. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise Notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 7 below, such other Person’s name as shall be designated in the Exercise Notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

(d)Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date.

(e)Delivery of New Warrant. Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

(f)Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes. With respect to the exercise of this warrant, the Company hereby represents, covenants and agrees:

(i)This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

(ii)All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance and upon receipt of payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive

23


or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens and charges.

(iii)The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

(iv)The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

(g)Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(h)Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

4.Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4).

(a)Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon

24


the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(b)Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 4(a)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 4 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant.

25


(c)Exceptions To Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

(d)

Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i)As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, but in any event not later than twenty (20) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

(ii)As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than twenty (20) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

(e)

Notices. In the event:

(i)that the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

(ii)of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person; or

(iii)of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time

26


issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

5.Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any shares of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder shall not be entitled to the Purchase Rights granted herein with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

6.Stockholders Agreement. This Warrant and all Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are and shall become subject to, and have the benefit of, the Stockholders Agreement, and the Holder shall be required, for so long as the Holder holds this Warrant or any Warrant Shares, and as a condition to its receipt of this Warrant and any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, to become and remain a party to the Stockholders Agreement. In furtherance thereof, Holder shall execute and deliver to the Company the Joinder Agreement attached as an exhibit to the Stockholders Agreement.

7.Transfer of Warrant. Subject to the transfer conditions referred to in the legend endorsed hereon and the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes described in Section 3(f)(iv) in connection with the making of such transfer. Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

8.Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder; Limitations on Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in

27


this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

9.

Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

(a)Replacement of Warrant on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation to the Company, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed; provided, that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

(b)Division and Combination of Warrant. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant and the Stockholders Agreement as to any transfer or other assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, this Warrant may be divided or, following any such division of this Warrant, subsequently combined with other Warrants, upon the surrender of this Warrant or Warrants to the Company at its then principal executive offices, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the respective Holders or their agents or attorneys. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant and the Stockholders Agreement as to any transfer or assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall at its own expense execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice. Such new Warrant or Warrants shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant or Warrants and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

10.

Compliance with the Securities Act.

(a)Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act; Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 10 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant and further agrees that such Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). This Warrant and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF

28


1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SHARES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW AND, IF THE CORPORATION REQUESTS, AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION TO SUCH EFFECT HAS BEEN RENDERED BY COUNSEL.

(b)Representations of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows:

(i)The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

(ii)The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(iii)The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Warrant and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

11.Warrant Register. The Company shall keep and properly maintain at its principal executive offices books for the registration of the Warrant and any transfers thereof. The Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Warrant is registered on such register as the Holder thereof for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, except any assignment, division, combination or other transfer of the Warrant effected in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

29


12.Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of actual receipt, or (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent, if sent by electronic mail during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day, or (c) one (1) business day after the business day of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, postage prepaid, specifying next-day delivery.

Except to the extent expressly provided in Section 8 to the contrary, the rights and remedies provided in this Warrant are cumulative and are not exclusive of, and are in addition to and not in substitution for, any other rights or remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.

14.Equitable Relief. Each of the Company and the Holder acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Warrant would give rise to irreparable harm to the other party hereto for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, the other party hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies

30


that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.

15.Entire Agreement. This Warrant, together with the Stockholders Agreement and the Brand Agreement, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Warrant with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Warrant, the Stockholders Agreement and the Brand Agreement, the terms of this Warrant shall control.

16.Successor and Assigns. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder.

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

18.Headings. The headings in this Warrant are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Warrant.

19.Amendment and Modification; Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by the Company or the Holder of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

20.Severability. If any term or provision of this Warrant is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Warrant or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

21.Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Colorado.

31


22.Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be instituted in the state or federal courts of the United States of America located in Denver County, Colorado, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by certified or registered mail to such party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

23.Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Warrant is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby.

24.Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Warrant delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Warrant.

25.No Strict Construction. This Warrant shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted.

(c)the provisions of Section 1.2(a) and this Section 6.8(c) may not be amended, modified, terminated or waived without the written consent of Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (d/b/a Schwazze);

(g)the consent of the Key Holders shall not be required for any amendment, modification, termination or waiver if such amendment, modification, termination, or waiver either (i) is not directly applicable to the rights of the Key Holders hereunder; or (ii) does not adversely affect the rights of the Key Holders in a manner that is different than the effect on the rights of the other parties hereto;

(h)Schedule A hereto may be amended by the Company from time to time in accordance with the Purchase Agreement to add information regarding additional Purchasers (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) without the consent of the other parties hereto; and

(i)any provision hereof may be waived by the waiving party on such party’s own behalf, without the consent of any other party.

The Company shall give prompt written notice of any amendment, modification, termination, or waiver hereunder to any party that did not consent in writing thereto. Any amendment, modification, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 6.8 shall be binding on each party and all of such party’s successors and permitted assigns, whether or not any such party, successor or assignee entered into or approved such amendment, modification, termination or waiver. For purposes of this Section 6.8, the requirement of a written instrument may be satisfied in the form of an action by written consent of the Stockholders circulated by the Company and executed by the Stockholder parties specified, whether or not such action by written consent makes explicit reference to the terms of this Agreement.

6.9Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default previously or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

6.13Stock Splits, Dividends and Recapitalizations. In the event of any issuance of Shares or the voting securities of the Company hereafter to any of the Stockholders (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like), such Shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall .be notated with the legend set forth in Section 6.12.

11


as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. Each of the parties to this Agreement consents to personal jurisdiction for any equitable action sought in the courts set forth in this Section 6.16 having subject matter jurisdiction.

the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, financing, securities offering or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; (iii) prevent the Company from obtaining, maintaining, or renewing cannabis licenses necessary to conduct its cannabis business operations; or (iv) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder of the Company during such thirty (30) day period other than an Excluded Registration.

(d)The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has effected one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a); or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (i) during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one demand registration statement pursuant to Section 2.6, in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d); provided, that if such withdrawal is during a period the Company has deferred taking action pursuant to Section 2.1(c), then the Initiating Holders may withdraw their request for registration and such registration will not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d).

2.2Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of

5


each Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, cause to be registered pursuant to such registration all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. A registration under this Section 2.2 shall not be considered a registration for purposes of Section 2.1. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6.

2.3Underwritten Offering Requirements.

(a)If, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice. The investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwrittten offering to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwritten offering shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.4(e) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the managing underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwritten offering shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwritten offering shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwritten offering.

(b)In connection with any offering involving an underwritten offering of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwritten offering as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such

6


securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their reasonable discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering, or (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the IPO, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded further if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering. For purposes of the provision in this Section 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

(c)For purposes of Section 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in Section 2.3(a), fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

2.4Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a)prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration.

(b)prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registration statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

7


(c)furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and any supplement thereto, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;

(d)use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or “blue-sky” laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business, subject itself to general taxation or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(e)in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwritten offering agreement with the underwriter(s) of such offering and such other customary agreements, in each case in usual and customary form;

(f)use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(g)use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist any Holder in the acquisition of, any requisite regulatory approval pursuant to the rules and regulations of growing, manufacturing, selling or distribution of marijuana products, including the provisions of the Colorado Medical Marijuana Code, the Colorado Retail Marijuana Code or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the similar codes applicable in state law with respect to the Company’s business and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

(h)provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

(i)promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;

(j)notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and

8


(k)after such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.

(1)notify each selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event that would cause the prospectus included in such registration statement to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit any fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, at the request of any such holder, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

(m)otherwise use its reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

2.5Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

2.6Expenses of Registration. All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 (other than fees and disbursements of counsel to any Holder, which shall be borne solely by the Holder engaging such counsel) shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf. All expenses other than Selling Expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or 2.1(b), as the case may be; provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with

9


reasonable promptness after learning of such information then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or 2.1(b).

2.7Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

2.8Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

(a)To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration or such Holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so delivered) after the Company has furnished such Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same prior to any written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities hereunder.

(b)To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if

10


such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that this obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, for each Holder and in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.

(d)To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8  provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such

11


Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

(e)Unless otherwise superseded by an underwritten offering agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.9Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:

(a)make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company;

(b)use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

(c)furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies), and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).

2.10Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least seventy five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that (i) would provide to such holder the right to include securities in any registration on other than either a pro rata basis with respect to the Registrable Securities or on a subordinate basis after all

12


Holders have had the opportunity to include in the registration and offering all shares of Registrable Securities that they wish to so include; or (ii) allows such holder or prospective holder to initiate a demand for registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder; provided that this limitation shall not apply to any additional Investor who becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.10.

2.11Market Stand-off’ Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company for its own behalf of shares of its Common Stock and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of the IPO, or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports, and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such offering or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11 shall apply only to the IPO, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwritten offering agreement, or the transfer of any shares to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, and shall be applicable to the Holders only if all officers and directors are subject to the same restrictions and the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a similar agreement from all stockholders individually owning more than five percent (5%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock). The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 2.11 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters or the Company in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 2.11 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such agreements, based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.

2.12Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)The Convertible Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or

13


transfer, except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. A transferring Holder will cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities held by such Holder to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement.

(b)Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing (i) the Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) the Registrable Securities, and (iii) any other securities issued in respect of the securities referenced in clauses (i) and (ii), upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 2.12(c)) be notated with a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.12.

(c)The holder of such Restricted Securities, by acceptance of ownership thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2. Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, the Holder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144; or (y) in any transaction in which

14


such Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration; provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 2.12. Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall be notated with, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.12(b), except that such certificate instrument, or book entry shall not be notated with such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

2.13Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of:

(a)the closing of a Deemed Liquidation (as such term is defined in the Articles); and

(b)such time as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of such Holder’s shares without limitation during a three-month period without registration.

3.Information and Inspection Rights.

3.1Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to each Major Investor:

(a)as soon as practicable, but in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (i) a balance sheet as of the end of such year, (ii) statements of income and of cash flows for such year, and a comparison between (x) the actual amounts as of and for such fiscal year and (y) the comparable amounts for the prior year and as included in the Budget (as defined in Section 3.1(e)) for such year, with an explanation of any material differences between such amounts and a schedule as to the sources and applications of funds for such year, and (iii) a statement of stockholders’ equity as of the end of such year, all such financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and reviewed by Cornelius CPAs or other independent public accountants of regionally recognized standing selected by the Company;

4.Rights to Future Stock Issuances.

4.1Right of First Offer.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1 and applicable securities laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to each Major Investor. The Company shall give

17


notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Major Investor, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

(b)By notification to the Company within twenty (20) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Major Investor may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the Common Stock then held by such Major Investor (including all shares of Common Stock then issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held by such Investor) bears to the total Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Convertible Preferred Stock and other Derivative Securities). At the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Major Investor that elects to purchase or acquire all the shares available to it (each, a “Fully Exercising Investor”) of any other Major Investor’s failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Investor may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of shares specified above, up to that portion of the New Securities for which Major Investors were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Major Investors which is equal to the proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of Convertible Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by such Fully Exercising Investor bears to the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by all Fully Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall occur within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Section 4.1(c).

(c)If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 4.1(b), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Section 4.1(b), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance with this Section 4.1.

(d)The right of first offer in this Section 4.1 shall not be applicable to (i) Excluded Issuances (as defined in the Articles), (ii) shares of Common Stock issued in the IPO, and (iii) the issuance of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to Additional Purchasers pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

(e)The right of first offer set forth in this Section 4.1 shall terminate with respect to any Major Investor who fails to purchase, in any transaction subject to this

18


Section 4.1, all of such Major Investor’s pro rata amount of the New Securities allocated (or, if less than such Major Investor’s pro rata amount is offered by the Company, such lesser amount so offered) to such Major Investor pursuant to this Section 4.1. Following any such termination, such Investor shall no longer be deemed a “Major Investor” for any purpose of this Section 4.1.

4.2Termination of Right of First Offer. The covenants set forth in Section 4.1 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately before the consummation of the IPO, or (ii) upon the closing of a Deemed Liquidation, as such term is defined in the Articles, whichever event occurs first and, as to each Major Investor, in accordance with Section 4.1(e).

Each Investor may assign its rights hereunder to any purchaser or transferee of Registrable Securities; provided, that such purchaser or transferee shall, as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment, be required to execute a counterpart to this Agreement agreeing to be treated as an Investor whereupon such purchaser or transferee shall have the benefits of, and shall be subject to the restrictions contained in, this Agreement as if such purchaser or transferee was originally included in the definition of an Investor herein and had originally been a party hereto.

5.6Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided that the Company may in its sole discretion waive compliance with Section 2.12(c) (and the Company’s failure to object promptly in writing after notification of a proposed assignment allegedly in violation of Section 2.12(c) shall be deemed to be a waiver); and provided further that any provision hereof may be waived by any waiving party on such party’s own behalf, without the consent of any other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the written consent of such Investor, unless such amendment, termination, or waiver applies to all Investors in the same fashion. The Company shall give prompt notice of any amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination, or waiver. Any amendment, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 4.6 shall be binding on all parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party has consented thereto, and their respective heirs, legal representatives and permitted assignees. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach, or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

5.7Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be reformed and construed so that it will be valid, legal, and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

20


5.8Aggregation of Stock. All shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement and such Affiliated persons may apportion such rights as among themselves in any manner they deem appropriate.

The Company hereby agrees, to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Articles or the Bylaws of the Company (or any agreement between the Company and such Investor Director), (a) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to any such Investor Director are primary and any obligation of the Investor Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Investor Director are secondary), (b) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Investor Director and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of any such Investor Director to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Articles or the Bylaws of the Company (or any agreement between the Company and such Investor Director),without regard to any rights such Investor Director may have against the Investor Indemnitors, and (c) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Investor Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Investor Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Investor Indemnitors on behalf of any such Investor Director with respect to any claim for which such Investor Director has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Investor Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Investor Director against the Company. The Investor Directors and the Investor Indemnitors are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 4.9 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.9 as though they were a party to this Agreement.

5.10Additional Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company issues additional shares of the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock after the date hereof, whether pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement or otherwise, any purchaser of such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering an additional counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and thereafter shall be deemed an “Investor” for all purposes hereunder. No action or consent by the Investors shall be required for such joinder to this Agreement by such additional Investor, so long as such additional Investor has agreed in writing to be bound by all of the obligations as an “Investor” hereunder.

5.11Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Schedules and Exhibits hereto) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled.

21


5.12Dispute Resolution. The parties (a) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Denver County, Colorado for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (b) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the above-named courts, and (c) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE SECURITIES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

The prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs, and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. Each of the parties to this Agreement consents to personal jurisdiction for any equitable action sought in the courts set forth in clause (a) above having subject matter jurisdiction.

5.13Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such nonbreaching or nondefaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any such breach or default, or to any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

5.16Acknowledgment. The Company acknowledges that the Investors are in the business of evaluating, making and managing investments in businesses and acquiring businesses and therefore review the business plans and related proprietary information of many enterprises, including enterprises which may have products or services which compete directly or indirectly with those of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude or in any way restrict the Investors from investing or participating in any particular enterprise whether or not such enterprise has products or services which compete with those of the Company.

Agreement Among the Company and the Investors.

2.1Right of First Refusal.

(a)Grant. Subject to the terms of Section 3 below, each Investor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a Right of First Refusal to purchase all or any portion of Capital Stock that such Investor may propose to transfer or sell in a Proposed Investor Sale (the “Offered Stock”), at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the Proposed Purchaser.

(b)Notice. Each Investor proposing to make a Proposed Investor Sale must deliver a Proposed Investor Sale Notice to the Company and each other Investor not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the consummation of such Proposed Investor Sale. Such Proposed Investor Sale Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including price and form of consideration) of the Proposed Investor Sale, the identity of the Proposed Purchaser and the intended date of the Proposed Investor Sale. To exercise its Right of First Refusal under this Section 2, the Company must deliver a Company Notice to the selling Investor within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Proposed Investor Sale Notice. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement that may have been entered into by an Investor with the Company that contains a preexisting right of first refusal, the Company and such Investor acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall control and the preexisting right of first refusal shall be deemed satisfied by compliance with Section 2.1(a) and this Section 2.1(b).

(c)Grant of Secondary Refusal Right to Investors. Subject to the terms of Section 3 below, each Investor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the other Investors (the “Non-Selling Investors”) a Secondary Refusal Right to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Stock not purchased by the Company pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, as provided in this Section 2.1(b). If the Company does not intend to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to all of the Offered Stock subject to a Proposed Investor Sale, the

4


Company must deliver a Secondary Notice to the selling Investor and to all Non-Selling Investors to that effect no later than fifteen (15) days after the selling Investor delivers the Proposed Investor Sale Notice to the Company. To exercise its Secondary Refusal Right, a Non-Selling Investor must deliver an Investor Notice to the selling Investor and the Company within ten (10) days after the Company’s deadline for its delivery of the Secondary Notice as provided in the preceding sentence.

(d)Undersubscription of Offered Stock. If options to purchase have been exercised by the Company and the Non-Selling Investors with respect to some but not all of the Offered Stock by the end of the ten (10) day period specified in the last sentence of Section 2.1(b) (the “Investor Notice Period”), then the Company shall, immediately after the expiration of the Investor Notice Period, send written notice (the “Company Undersubscription Notice”) to those Non-Selling Investors who fully exercised their Secondary Refusal Right within the Investor Notice Period (the “Exercising Investors”). Each Exercising Investor shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1(d), have an additional option to purchase all or any part of the balance of any such remaining unsubscribed shares of Offered Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Investor Sale Notice. To exercise such option, an Exercising Investor must deliver an Undersubscription Notice to the selling Investor and the Company within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Investor Notice Period. In the event there are two (2) or more such Exercising Investors that choose to exercise the last-mentioned option for a total number of remaining shares in excess of the number available, the remaining shares available for purchase under this Section 2.1(d) shall be allocated to such Exercising Investors pro rata based on the number of shares of Offered Stock such Exercising Investors have elected to purchase pursuant to the Secondary Refusal Right (without giving effect to any shares of Offered Stock that any such Exercising Investor has elected to purchase pursuant to the Company Undersubscription Notice). If the options to purchase the remaining shares are exercised in full by the Exercising Investors, the Company shall immediately notify all of the Exercising Investors and the selling Investor of that fact.

(e)Forfeiture of Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total number of shares of Offered Stock that the Company and the Non-Selling Investors have agreed to purchase in the Company Notice, Investor Notices and Undersubscription Notices is less than the total number of shares of Offered Stock, then the Company and the Non-Selling Investors shall be deemed to have forfeited any right to purchase such Offered Stock, and the selling Investor shall be free to sell all, but not less than all, of such Offered Stock to the Proposed Purchaser on terms and conditions substantially similar to (and in no event more favorable than) the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Investor Sale Notice, it being understood and agreed that (i) any such sale or transfer shall be subject to the other terms and restrictions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms and restrictions set forth in Section 2.2; (ii) any future Proposed Investor Sale shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including this Section 2; and (iii) such sale shall be consummated within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Proposed Investor Sale Notice by the Company and, if such sale is not consummated within such forty-five (45) day period, such sale shall again become subject to the Right of First Refusal and Secondary Refusal Right on the terms set forth herein.

(f)Consideration; Closing. If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Offered Stock is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, the fair market

5


value of the consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and as set forth in the Company Notice. If the Company or any Investor cannot for any reason pay for the Offered Stock in the same form of non-cash consideration, the Company or such Investor may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and as set forth in the Company Notice. The closing of the purchase of Offered Stock by the Company and the Non-Selling Investors shall take place, and all payments from the Company and the Non-Selling Investors shall have been delivered to the selling Investor, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Investor Sale Notice as the intended date of the Proposed Investor Sale; and (ii) forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Proposed Investor Sale Notice.

2.2Right of Co-Sale.

(a)Exercise of Right. If any Capital Stock subject to a Proposed Investor Sale is not purchased pursuant to Section 2.1 above and thereafter is to be sold to a Proposed Purchaser, each Investor may elect to exercise its Right of Co-Sale and participate on a pro rata basis in the Proposed Investor Sale as set forth in Section 2.2(b) below and, subject to Section 2.2(d), otherwise on the same terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Investor Sale Notice. Each Investor who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale (each, a “Co-Sale Participant”) must give the selling Investor written notice to that effect within fifteen (15) days after the deadline for delivery of the Secondary Notice described above, and upon giving such notice such Co-Sale Participant shall be deemed to have effectively exercised its Right of Co-Sale. Any Investor who fails to give the selling Investor timely notice of exercise of its Right of Co-Sale will be deemed to have waived such Investor’s Right of Co-Sale with respect to the Proposed Investor Sale.

(b)Shares Includable. Each Co-Sale Participant may include in the Proposed Investor Sale all or any part of such Co-Sale Participant’s Capital Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Capital Stock subject to the Proposed Investor Sale (excluding shares purchased by the Company or the Co-Sale Participant pursuant to the Right of First Refusal or the Secondary Refusal Right) by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Capital Stock owned by such Co-Sale Participant immediately before consummation of the Proposed Investor Sale (including any shares that such Investor has agreed to purchase pursuant to the Secondary Refusal Right) and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Capital Stock owned, in the aggregate, by all Co-Sale Participants immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Investor Sale (including any shares that all Co-Sale Participants have collectively agreed to purchase pursuant to the Secondary Refusal Right), plus the number of shares of Capital Stock held by the selling Investor. To the extent one (1) or more of the Co-Sale Participants exercises such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the number of shares of Capital Stock that the selling Investor may sell in the Proposed Investor Sale shall be correspondingly reduced.

(c)Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Co-Sale Participant and the selling Investor agree that the terms and conditions of any Proposed Investor Sale in accordance with this Section 2.2 will be memorialized in, and governed by, a written purchase and sale agreement with the Proposed Purchaser (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with customary terms and provisions for such a transaction, and the Co-Sale Participants and the selling Investor

6


further covenant and agree to enter into such Purchase and Sale Agreement as a condition precedent to any sale or other transfer in accordance with this Section 2.2.

(d)Allocation of Consideration. The aggregate consideration payable to the Co-Sale Participants and the selling Investor shall be allocated based on the number of shares of Capital Stock sold to the Proposed Purchaser by each Co-Sale Participant and the selling Investor as provided in Section 2.2(b), provided that if a Co-Sale Participant wishes to sell Preferred Stock and the Proposed Investor Sale Notice was with respect to Common Stock, the price set forth in the Proposed Investor Sale Notice shall be appropriately adjusted based on the conversion ratio of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock.

(e)Purchase by Selling Investor; Deliveries. Notwithstanding Section 2.2(c) above, if any Proposed Purchaser(s) refuse(s) to purchase Capital Stock subject to the Right of Co-Sale from any Co-Sale Participant(s) or upon the failure to negotiate in good faith a Purchase and Sale Agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Co-Sale Participants, no Investor may sell any Capital Stock to such Proposed Purchaser(s) unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Investor purchases all Capital Stock subject to the Right of Co-Sale from such Co-Sale Participant or Participants on the same terms and conditions (including the proposed purchase price) as set forth in the Proposed Investor Sale Notice and as provided in Section 2.2(d). In connection with such purchase by the selling Investor, such Co-Sale Participant(s) shall deliver to the selling Investor any stock certificate or certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing the Capital Stock being purchased by the selling Investor (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of the selling Investor). Any such shares transferred to the selling Investor will be transferred to the Proposed Purchaser against payment therefor in consummation of the sale of the Capital Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Investor Sale Notice, and the selling Investor shall concurrently therewith remit or direct payment to each such Co-Sale Participant the portion of the aggregate consideration to which each such Co-Sale Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale as provided in this Section 2.2(e).

(f)Additional Compliance. If any Proposed Investor Sale is not consummated within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Proposed Investor Sale Notice by the Company and the Investors, the Investor proposing the Proposed Investor Sale may not sell any Capital Stock of such Investor unless they first comply in full with each provision of this Section 2. The exercise or election not to exercise any right by any Investor hereunder shall not adversely affect its right to participate in any other sales of Capital Stock subject to this Section 2.2.

2.3Effect of Failure to Comply.

(a)Transfer Void; Equitable Relief. Any Proposed Investor Sale not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective

7


orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Capital Stock not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).

(b)Violation of First Refusal Right. If any Investor becomes obligated to sell any Capital Stock to the Company or any Investor under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Capital Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company and/or such Investor may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such Investor the purchase price for such Capital Stock as is herein specified and transfer to the name of the Company or such Investor (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of an Investor) on the Company’s books any certificates, instruments, or book entry representing the Capital Stock to be sold.

(c)Violation of Co-Sale Right. If any Investor purports to sell any Capital Stock in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale (a “Prohibited Transfer”), each Investor who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale under Section 2.2 may, in addition to such remedies as may be available by law, in equity or hereunder, require the selling Investor to purchase from such Investor the type and number of shares of Capital Stock that such Investor would have been entitled to sell to the Proposed Purchaser had the Prohibited Transfer been effected in compliance with the terms of Section 2.2. The sale will be made on the same terms, including, without limitation, as provided in Section 2.2(d), and subject to the same conditions as would have applied had the Investor not made the Prohibited Transfer, except that the sale (including, without limitation, the delivery of the purchase price) must be made within ninety (90) days after the Investor learns of the Prohibited Transfer, as opposed to the timeframe proscribed in Section 2.2. Such Investor shall also reimburse each Investor for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Investor’s Right of Co-Sale.

3.

Exempt Transfers.

3.1Exempted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 2.2 shall not apply (a) in the case of an Investor that is an entity, upon a transfer of Capital Stock by such Investor to its stockholders, members, partners or other equity holders, (b) to a repurchase of Capital Stock from an Investor by the Company at a price pursuant to an agreement containing vesting or repurchase provisions approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, which shall include at least one (1) Investor Director (provided that at least one (1) Investor Director is elected and serving on the Board of Directors at the time of such approval) (c) to a pledge of Capital Stock that creates a mere security interest in the pledged Capital Stock, provided that the pledgee thereof agrees in writing in advance to be bound by and comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were the Investor making such pledge, or (d) in the case of an Investor that is a natural person, upon a transfer of Capital Stock by such Investor made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during his or her lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to his or her spouse, child (natural or adopted), or any other direct lineal descendant of such Investor (or his or her spouse) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or any other relative approved by unanimous consent of the Board of Directors, or any custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of

8


which are owned wholly by such Investor or any such family members; provided that in the case of clause(s) (a), (c), or (d), the Investor shall deliver prior written notice to the other Investors of such pledge, gift or transfer and such shares of Capital Stock shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a condition to such issuance, deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as an Investor (but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee), including the obligations of an Investor with respect to Proposed Investor Sale of such Capital Stock pursuant to Section 2; and provided further in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (a) or (d) above, that such transfer is made pursuant to a transaction in which there is no consideration actually paid for such transfer.

3.2Exempted Offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 2 shall not apply to the sale of any Capital Stock to the public in an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

3.3Prohibited Transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Investor shall transfer or sell any Capital Stock to (a) any entity which, in the determination of the Board of Directors, directly or indirectly competes with the Company; or (b) any customer, distributor or supplier of the Company, if the Board of Directors should determine that such transfer or sale would result in such customer, distributor or supplier receiving information that would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage with respect to such customer, distributor or supplier (each, a “Prohibited Transferee”).

4.

Drag-Along Right.

4.1Actions to be Taken. In the event that both the Board of Directors and Investors owning shares of Capital Stock representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company approves a Sale of the Company or the Schwazze Investor elects to exercise the Buy-Out Option pursuant to Section 6 (a “Drag-along Sale”), then each Investor and the Company hereby agree, upon conversion of such Investor’s Capital Stock (if applicable):

(a)if such transaction requires stockholder approval, with respect to all shares of Capital Stock (the “Shares”) that such Investor owns or over which such Investor otherwise exercises voting power, to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all Shares in favor of, and adopt, such Sale of the Company (together with any related amendment to the Articles required in order to implement such Sale of the Company) and to vote in opposition to any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company;

(b)if such transaction is a Stock Sale, to sell the same proportion of Capital Stock beneficially held by such Investor as is being sold by the selling Investors to the Person to whom the selling Investors propose to sell their Shares, and, except as permitted in Section 4.3 below, on the same terms and conditions as the selling Investors;

9


(c)to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Sale of the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Company or the selling Investors in order to carry out the terms and provision of this Section 3, including, without limitation, executing and delivering instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any purchase agreement, merger agreement, indemnity agreement, escrow agreement, consent, waiver, governmental filing, regulatory approval, share certificates duly endorsed for transfer (free and clear of impermissible liens, claims and encumbrances), and any similar or related documents;

(d)not to deposit, and to cause their Affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any Shares owned by such party or Affiliate in a voting trust or subject any Shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Shares, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquirer in connection with the Sale of the Company;

(e)to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company;

(f)if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Shares pursuant to this Section 4 includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Investor would require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities; or (y) the provision to any Investor of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company may cause to be paid to any such Investor in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Shares which would have otherwise been sold by such stockholder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the securities which such Investor would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the Shares; and

(g)in the event that the selling Investors, in connection with such Sale of the Company, appoint an stockholder representative (the “Stockholder Representative”) with respect to matters affecting the Investors under the applicable definitive transaction agreements following consummation of such Sale of the Company, (x) to consent to (i) the appointment of such Stockholder Representative, (ii) the establishment of any applicable escrow, expense or similar fund in connection with any indemnification or similar obligations, and (iii) the payment of such Investor’s pro rata portion (from the applicable escrow or expense fund or otherwise) of any and all reasonable fees and expenses to such Stockholder Representative in connection with such Stockholder Representative’s services and duties in connection with such Sale of the Company and its related service as the representative of the Investors, and (y) not to assert any claim or commence any suit against the Stockholder Representative or any other Investor with respect to any action or inaction taken or failed to be taken by the Stockholder Representative in connection with its service as the Stockholder Representative, absent fraud or willful misconduct.

10


4.2Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Investor will not be required to comply with Section 4.1 above in connection with any proposed Sale of the Company (the “Proposed Sale”), unless:

(a)any representations and warranties to be made by such Investor in connection with the Proposed Sale are limited to representations and warranties related to authority, ownership and the ability to convey title to such Shares, including, but not limited to, representations and warranties that (i) the Investor holds all right, title and interest in and to the Shares such Investor purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (ii) the obligations of the Investor in connection with the transaction have been duly authorized, if applicable, (iii) the documents to be entered into by the Investor have been duly executed by the Investor and delivered to the acquirer and are enforceable against the Investor in accordance with their respective terms; and (iv) neither the execution and delivery of documents to be entered into in connection with the transaction, nor the performance of the Investor’s obligations thereunder, will cause a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement, law or judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency;

(b)the Investor shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other Person in connection with the Proposed Sale, other than the Company (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any stockholder of any of identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all stockholders);

(c)the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Investor in the Proposed Sale and for the inaccuracy or breach of any representations and warranties made by the Company or its stockholders (including the Investor) in connection with such Proposed Sale, is several and not joint with any other Person (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any stockholder of any of identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all stockholders), and is pro rata in proportion to, and does not exceed, the amount of consideration paid to such Investor in connection with such Proposed Sale; and

(d)upon the consummation of the Proposed Sale (i) each holder of each class or series of the Company’s stock will receive the same form of consideration for their shares of such class or series as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of such same class or series of stock, (ii) each holder of Preferred Stock will receive the same amount of consideration per share of Preferred Stock as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of such same series, (iii) each holder of Common Stock will receive the same amount of consideration per share of Common Stock as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of Common Stock, and (iv) unless the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Preferred Stock elect to receive a lesser amount by written notice given to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such Proposed Sale, the aggregate consideration receivable by all holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall be allocated among the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the holders of each respective series of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common

11


Stock are entitled in a Deemed Liquidation (as defined in the Articles) (assuming for this purpose that the Proposed Sale is a Deemed Liquidation) in accordance with the Articles in effect immediately prior to the Proposed Sale; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Investor’s Shares pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Investor would require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities; or (y) the provision to any Investor of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company may cause to be paid to any such Investor in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Investor’s Shares which would have otherwise been sold by such Investor, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the securities which such Investor would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the Investor’s Shares.

4.3Restrictions on Sales of Control of the Company. No Investor shall be a party to any Stock Sale unless all holders of Preferred Stock are allowed to participate in such transaction and the consideration received pursuant to such transaction is allocated among the parties thereto in the manner specified in the Articles in effect immediately prior to the Stock Sale (as if such transaction were a Deemed Liquidation (as defined in the Articles)), unless the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written notice given to the Company at least forty-five (45) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction or series of related transactions.

4.4Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney. Each party to this Agreement hereby constitutes and appoints as the proxies of the party and hereby grants a power of attorney to the President of the Company, and a designee of the selling Investors, and each of them, with full power of substitution, with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 4, including, without limitation, votes regarding any Sale of the Company pursuant to this Section 4, and hereby authorizes each of them to represent and vote, if and only if the party (i) fails to vote, or (ii) attempts to vote (whether by proxy, in person or by written consent), in a manner which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, all of such party’s Shares in favor of the approval of any Sale of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 4 or to take any action necessary to effect this Section 4. Each of the proxy and power of attorney granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is given in consideration of the agreements and covenants of the Company and the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, as such, each is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 10.8. Each party hereto hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney with respect to the Shares and shall not hereafter, unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 10.8 hereof, purport to grant any other proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement), arrangement or understanding with any Person, directly or indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the voting of any of the Shares, in each case, with respect to any of the matters set forth herein.

Investor Suitability.

5.1General. The Investors acknowledge and understand that (a) part of the business of the Company is to grow, manufacture, sell and distribute marijuana products in accordance with the laws, rules and regulation in the states in which it operates, including without limitation, Colorado law and the rules and regulations issued by the Colorado MED, (b) the Company is not permitted to issue any Preferred Stock (or any other Capital Stock or other equity interest) to any Person or entity that cannot qualify or would be unsuitable for qualification under the provisions of the Applicable Marijuana Codes, and (c) the issuance of any Preferred Stock (or any other Capital Stock or other equity interest) in violation of this provision shall be void and any such Preferred Stock (or Capital Stock or other equity interest) shall be deemed not to be issued and outstanding until (i) the Company shall cease to be subject to the jurisdiction of any Applicable MED, or (ii) each Applicable MED shall, by affirmative action, validate said issuance or waive any defect in issuance.

5.2Transfer Restriction. No Preferred Stock (or any other Capital Stock or other equity interest) or other interest issued by the Company and no interest, claim or charge therein or thereto shall be transferred in any manner whatsoever except in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Applicable Marijuana Codes, including any necessary consent or approval requirements promulgated thereunder. Any transfer in violation thereof shall be void until (a) the Company shall cease to be subject to the jurisdiction of any Applicable MED, or (b) each Applicable MED shall, by affirmative action, validate said transfer or waive any defect in said transfer.

5.3Repurchase Right Related To Suitability.

(a)If any Applicable MED at any time determines that any Investor (other than the Schwazze Investor) is unsuitable to hold any Preferred Stock (or any other Capital Stock or other equity interest) or other interest that prevents the Company from obtaining, maintaining, or renewing any cannabis license necessary to conduct the Company’s cannabis business activities, then the Company may, within sixty (60) days after the finding of unsuitability, purchase such Preferred Stock or other interests of such unsuitable Investor at an amount of consideration equal to the current market price as of the date of the finding of unsuitability as determined by a mutually agreed upon third party, which amount shall be paid by the Company, in the Company’s sole discretion and subject in all respect to the provisions of the Applicable Marijuana Codes and the approval of the Applicable MEDs, as follows:

(i)in cash, or

(ii)by an unsecured, non-recourse, non-convertible promissory note (y) with an interest rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the

13


date of issuance of such note plus 3% per annum, and (z) payable over a period of five (5) years in quarterly installments of principal and accrued interest.

(b)If any Applicable MED at any time determines that the Schwazze Investor is unsuitable to hold any Preferred Stock (or any other Capital Stock or other equity interest) or other interest that prevents the Company from obtaining, maintaining, or renewing any cannabis license necessary to conduct the Company’s cannabis business activities, then the Company and the Schwazze Investor will work together in good faith to determine and agree upon an appropriate remedy acceptable to both parties for a reasonable period of time after the finding of unsuitability (but in no event more than thirty (30) days thereafter), provided that such remedy shall occur within sixty (60) days after the finding of unsuitability; provided, however, if such remedy is not determined and agreed upon by both parties during such thirty (30) period of time, then the Company may purchase such Preferred Stock or other interests of the Schwazze Investor in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3(a).

5.4Other Restrictions.

(a)Any Investor found unsuitable by an Applicable MED shall not hold directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of any share, membership interest, or other interest in or to a licensee or holding company or intermediary company thereof beyond that period of time prescribed by the Applicable MED, and must be removed immediately from any position as a director, officer, member, manager or employee of such licensee or holding company or intermediary company thereof.

If an offer from another Person is accepted by the Company during such thirty (30) day period, the Buy-Out Option will no longer be in effect; and

(e)The consideration paid by the Schwazze Investor pursuant to the Buy-Out Option must be comprised of at least forty percent (40%) cash and at least forty percent (40%) of the Schwazze Investor’s common stock, unless other amounts of consideration are agreed to by the Schwazze Investor, the Company and the Investors.

(b)The Offering Stockholder shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the offer from the Third-Party Purchaser, give written notice (the “Offering Stockholder Notice”) to the Company and the other Stockholders stating that it has received a bona fide offer from a Third-Party Purchaser and specifying:

(i)the number of Offered Shares to be Transferred by the Offering Stockholder;

(ii)the name of the Third-Party Purchaser;

(iii)the per share purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof; and

(iv)the proposed date, time, and location of the closing of the Transfer, which shall not be less than sixty (60) days from the date of the Offering Stockholder Notice.

The Offering Stockholder Notice shall constitute the Offering Stockholder’s offer to Transfer the Offered Shares first to the Company and second to the

15


other Stockholders, which offer shall be irrevocable until the end of the Company ROFR Notice Period and the ROFR Notice Period, as applicable.

(c)By delivering the Offering Stockholder Notice, the Offering Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company and to each other Stockholder that: (i) the Offering Stockholder has full right, title, and interest in and to the Offered Shares; (ii) the Offering Stockholder has all the necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to Transfer such Offered Shares as contemplated by this Section 3.02; and (iii) the Offered Shares are free and clear of any and all Liens other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement.

(d)Upon receipt of the Offering Stockholder Notice, the Company shall have ten (10) Business Days (the “Company ROFR Notice Period”) to elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares by delivering a written notice (a “Company ROFR Notice”) to the Offering Stockholder stating that it accepts the offer to purchase such Offered Shares on the terms specified in the Offering Stockholder Notice. Any Company ROFR Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the Company.

(e)If the Company does not deliver a Company ROFR Notice during the Company ROFR Notice Period, the Company shall be deemed to have waived its rights to purchase the Offered Shares under this Section 3.02, and the Offering Stockholder shall give written notice to each of the other Stockholders of such waiver of the Company’s rights to purchase the Offered Shares under this Section 3.02 (the “Company ROFR Waiver Notice”) within two (2) Business Days of the expiration of the Company ROFR Notice Period.

Any ROFR Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the applicable Stockholder. If more than one Stockholder delivers a ROFR Notice, each such Stockholder (the “Purchasing Stockholder”) shall be allocated its pro-rata portion of the Offered Shares, which shall be based on the proportion of the number of Shares such Purchasing Stockholder owns relative to the total number of Shares all of the Purchasing Stockholders own.

(g)Each Stockholder that does not deliver a ROFR Notice during the ROFR Notice Period shall be deemed to have waived all of such Stockholder’s rights to purchase the Offered Shares under this Section 3.02, and the Offering Stockholder shall thereafter, subject to the rights of any Purchasing Stockholder, be free to sell the Offered Shares to the Third Party Purchaser in the Offering Stockholder Notice without any further obligation to such Stockholder pursuant to this Section 3.02.

(h)If no Stockholder delivers a ROFR Notice in accordance with Section 3.02(f), the Offering Stockholder may, during the sixty (60) day period immediately

16


following the expiration of the ROFR Notice Period, which period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed ninety (90) days following expiration of the ROFR Notice Period, to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any required Government Approvals (the “Waived ROFR Transfer Period”) (and subject to the requirements of Section 3.01(d)), Transfer all of the Offered Shares to the Third Party Purchaser on terms and conditions no more favorable to the Third Party Purchaser than those set forth in the Offering Stockholder Notice. If the Offering Stockholder does not Transfer the Offered Shares within such period or, if applicable, within the Waived ROFR Transfer Period, the rights provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and the Offered Shares shall not be Transferred to the Third-Party Purchaser unless the Offering Stockholder sends a new Offering Stockholder Notice in accordance with, and otherwise complies with, this Section 3.02.

(i)The Offering Stockholder, the Company and each Purchasing Stockholder, as the case may be, shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Transfer contemplated by this Section 3.02, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.

(j)At the closing of any Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.02, the Offering Stockholder shall deliver to the Company or the Purchasing Stockholders, as the case may be, a certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares to be sold (if any), accompanied by stock powers and all necessary stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed, if necessary, against receipt of the purchase price therefor from the Company or such Purchasing Stockholders, as the case may be, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Section 3.03Triggering Events for Company’s Option To Buy Shares.

(a)Prior to any Involuntary Transfer of Shares during the life of a Stockholder (the “Transferring Stockholder”) for any reason (other than in connection with the Divorce of a Stockholder as addressed in Section 3.03(c)), the Transferring Stockholder or the Transferring Stockholder’s representative shall give prompt written notice to the Company disclosing in full the nature and details of the Involuntary Transfer, and the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Shares owned by the Transferring Stockholder at the effective date of the Involuntary Transfer pursuant to the terms of Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 of this Agreement. For the purposes hereof, an “Involuntary Transfer” includes, but is not limited to, a potential Transfer of Shares that occurs in connection with any of the following: (a) a sale upon execution or in foreclosure of any pledge, hypothecation, lien or charge; (b) a voluntary or involuntary petition under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or related law; (c) the appointment of a receiver; (d) an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) attachment, assignment or other collection action; and (f) the appointment of a guardian or conservator for a Stockholder.

(b)Upon the Termination of Employment of a Stockholder (the “Terminating Stockholder”), the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation,

17


to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Shares owned by the Terminating Stockholder at the effective date of termination pursuant to the terms of Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 of this Agreement. For purposes hereof, (a) “Termination of Employment of a Stockholder” means, in the case of any Stockholder who is, or subsequently becomes, an employee of the Company, the date of termination of his or her employment for any reason whatsoever (other than his or her death or Disability), including retirement or resignation, and (b) “Disability” means a Stockholder’s inability, due to illness, injury or other disability (either physical or mental), to perform his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company for 150 days out of any 365 day period or 90 consecutive days. In the event of a Termination of Employment of a Stockholder, no written notice shall be required. The Company shall be deemed to have received constructive notice as of the effective date of such Termination of Employment of a Stockholder.

(c)If the Marital Relationship of a Stockholder is terminated by death of the Stockholder’s Spouse or by Divorce, and the Stockholder does not succeed to all of the Spouse’s interest in the Shares held by the Stockholder at such time (the “Spouse’s Interest,” regardless of whether the interest is characterized as marital, nonmarital or separate property, or as property held as joint tenants), then the Spouse or Spouse’s estate shall sell to the Stockholder, and the Stockholder shall purchase, the Spouse’s Interest in the Shares for the Purchase Price set forth in Section 3.05.

Section 3.04Option Procedures.

(a)Whenever the Company has the option to purchase all of the Shares owned by a Transferring Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.03(a) or a Terminating Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.03(b) (in each case, the “Option Shares”), the following procedures shall apply:

(i)The right of the Company to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Option Shares shall be exercisable with the delivery of a written notice by the Company to the Transferring Stockholder or the Terminating Stockholder, as the case may be, within 60 days of (i) in the case of an Involuntary Transfer pursuant to Section 3.03(a), the receipt of the Transferring Stockholder’s written notice of Involuntary Transfer, or (ii) in the case of a Termination of Employment of a Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.03(b), the effective date of Termination of Employment of a Stockholder; provided, however, that if a Fair Market Value has to be determined by a Valuation Firm pursuant to Section 3.05(e), the time period in this Section 3.04(a)(i) shall not commence until the Valuation Firm has delivered its written determination of Fair Market Value to the Stockholders. The Company’s written notice of exercise shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the Company.

(ii)The failure of the Company to deliver an exercise notice by the end of their respective option periods shall constitute a waiver of the applicable option rights under Section 3.03 with respect to the transfer of such Option Shares, but shall not affect their respective rights with respect to any future transfers of Option Shares.

18


(b)The Company, if it elects to purchase Shares pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) may pay the applicable Purchase Price in (a) one lump sum by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (b) installment payments evidenced by a promissory note (“Note”) made at the time of purchase, which shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (defined below) per annum. If paid in installment payments pursuant to a Note, the Company shall pay the Purchase Price plus accrued interest at the Interest Rate in 60 equal monthly installments. The promissory note shall contain a provision that in case of default in the payment of principal or interest, all remaining amounts shall become immediately due and payable at the election of the Person to whom the sums are payable. The Company shall have the right to pay all or any part of the note at any time or times in advance of maturity without penalty by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. For purposes of this Section 3.04(b), (i) “Interest Rate” means, at any given time, the greater of (A) five percent (5%), or (B) the Prime Rate in effect at such time, provided that the Interest Rate shall be determined, and adjusted if necessary, at the date of issuance of the Note and at the end of each calendar quarter thereafter (with any new rate being applicable on the first day of the next day), and (ii) “Prime Rate” means, for any day, the prime rate of interest published by the Wall Street Journal on such date.

(c)Each Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate any sale that complies with this Section 3.04 including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.

(d)At the closing of any purchase and sale pursuant to this Section 3.04, the Transferring Stockholder or Terminating Stockholder shall deliver to the Company a certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares to be sold, accompanied by stock powers with signatures guaranteed and all necessary stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed, if necessary, against receipt of the promissory note or payment of the lump sum Purchase Price therefor from the Company as provided in Section 3.04(b).

(e)In the case of an option to purchase the Option Shares of a Transferring Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.03(a) or a Terminating Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.03(b), if the Company elects not to purchase all of the Option Shares, then such Option Shares shall continue to be subject to the restrictions imposed by this Agreement and the subsequent owner of the Option Shares pursuant to the applicable Involuntary Transfer or the Terminating Stockholder shall remain a party to this Agreement.

(f)If a Stockholder’s Shares are purchased by the Company in connection with an Involuntary Transfer or Termination of Employment of a Stockholder as described in Section 3.03 and Section 3.04, the applicable Stockholder shall cease to be a party to this Agreement and shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, and this Agreement may be amended or terminated without such Stockholder’s consent.

Section 3.05Purchase Price.

19


(a)As of the date of this Agreement, the value of each Share is agreed to be $1.82. Such value shall remain effective until a new stipulation is agreed to in accordance with Section 3.05(b) (such per Share value, as updated from time to time, the “Stipulated Value”).

(b)Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the Stockholders shall agree upon the Stipulated Value, to be computed as of the end of such fiscal year. The Stipulated Value shall be agreed to by the Stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares, acting together and by written instrument.

(c)Except as set forth in Section 3.05(e), Section 3.05(f) and Section 3.05(g), in the event of a sale of Shares pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 3.04, the Purchase Price shall be the Stipulated Value in effect at such time multiplied by the number of Shares subject to sale (the “Purchase Price”).

(d)The failure of the Stockholders to update the Stipulated Value as provided for herein shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

(e)If the Stipulated Value has not been updated as provided by Section 3.05(b), then, except as set forth in Sections 3.05(e), (f) and (g), the Stipulated Value shall be determined by the Valuation Firm (defined below). For purposes of this Section 3.05(e), (i) the “Stipulated Value” shall equal the “Fair Market Value” as of the date of such valuation, which value shall be determined by the Valuation Firm based on a “market based valuation” methodology, with such valuation methodology to be approved by the Board, and (ii) “Valuation Firm” means an independent, nationally recognized valuation firm selected by the mutual agreement of the Company and the Stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares, acting together and by written instrument (the “Valuation Firm”). The Company shall provide the Valuation Firm with all reasonably necessary Company financial and other records as the Valuation Firm may request. The Valuation Firm shall deliver its written determination of Fair Market Value within sixty (60) days of its engagement to the Stockholders and the Company, and such determination of Fair Market Value shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. All costs and expenses associated with the retainer or employment of the Valuation Firm pursuant to this Section 3.05(e) shall be paid by the Company.

(f)In the event of a purchase of a deceased Spouse’s Interest as provided by Section 3.03(c) of this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall not be less than the value of the decedent’s interest as finally determined for federal estate tax purposes.

(g)In the event of a purchase of the Spouse’s Interest as provided by Section 3.03(c) of this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be (a) the Stipulated Value or, if the parties have not updated the Stipulated Value as provided by Section 3.03(b) within 24 months immediately preceding the event triggering the sale, the Fair Market Value (per share), multiplied by (b) the number of Shares held by the Stockholder, and multiplied by (c) the fraction or percentage that represents the interest of the Spouse in the Stockholder’s Shares. For example, if a divorcing Stockholder has 100 Shares, and the Stipulated Value or Fair Market Value (per Share), as applicable, of each Share is

20


determined to be $2.00, and the divorce court, decree or agreement awards the Spouse an interest of forty percent (40%) in the Shares, then the Purchase Price for the Spouse’s Interest in the Shares would be $80.00.

Section 3.06Tag-Along Rights.

(a)In the event the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company propose, by written notice to the Company (the “Majority Proposal”) to sell or otherwise transfer their Shares to a potential purchaser (a “Proposed Majority Purchaser”) (whether by way of a single transaction or group of related transactions), the non-selling Stockholders not party to such transaction(s) and/or a Majority Proposal (the “Tag-Along Stockholders”) shall have the right to require the Proposed Majority Purchaser to acquire all of such Tag-Along Stockholder’s Shares (the “Tag-Along Right”) as set forth in this Section 3.063.06, otherwise on the same terms and conditions afforded to the selling stockholders and specified in the Majority Proposal. Upon receipt by the Company of a Majority Proposal from such selling stockholders, the Company shall promptly give written notice to all non-selling stockholders of the Company of the Majority Proposal, the selling stockholder(s) and the associated Tag-Along Right (the “Tag Notice”). Each Tag-Along Stockholder who desires to exercise its Tag-Along Right must give the Company and the selling stockholder(s) written notice to that effect within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Tag Notice.

(b)The selling stockholder(s) proposing to consummate a proposed sale with the Proposed Majority Purchaser must deliver a Majority Proposal in writing to the Company not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the consummation of such proposed sale. Such Majority Proposal shall contain the material terms and conditions (including price and form of consideration) of the proposed sale, the identity of the Proposed Majority Purchaser and the intended date of the proposed sale. Prior to the consummation of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 3.063.06, the selling stockholder(s) shall cause: (i) the Proposed Majority Purchaser(s) to execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder Agreement; and (ii) if the Proposed Purchaser(s) are individuals, any Spouse of such Proposed Purchaser(s) to execute and deliver to the Company a Spousal Consent.

(c)The Tag-Along Stockholder(s) and the selling stockholder(s) agree that the terms and conditions of any proposed sale in accordance with this Section 3.06.06 will be memorialized in, and governed by, a written purchase and sale agreement with the Proposed Majority Purchaser with customary terms and provisions for such a transaction, and the Tag-Along Stockholder(s) and the selling stockholder(s) further covenant and agree to enter into such purchase and sale agreement as a condition precedent to any sale or other transfer in accordance with this Section 3.063.06.

(d)Notwithstanding Section 3.06(c), if any Proposed Majority Purchaser(s) refuse(s) to purchase Shares subject to the Tag-Along Right or upon the failure to negotiate in good faith a purchase and sale agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Tag-Along Stockholders, no Stockholder may sell any Shares to such Proposed Majority Purchaser(s) unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Stockholder purchases all Shares subject to the Tag-Along Right from such Tag-Along Stockholder(s) on the

21


same terms and conditions (including the proposed purchase price) as set forth in the Majority Proposal. In connection with such purchase by such selling Stockholder, such Tag-Along Stockholder(s) shall deliver to the selling Stockholder any stock certificate or certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing the Shares being purchased by the selling Stockholder (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of the selling Stockholder). Any such Shares transferred to the selling Stockholder will be transferred to the Proposed Majority Purchaser against payment therefor in consummation of the sale of the Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Majority Proposal, and the selling Stockholder shall concurrently therewith remit or direct payment to each such Tag-Along Stockholder the portion of the aggregate consideration to which each such Tag-Along Stockholder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale as provided in this Section 3.06.06.

ARTICLE IV

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 4.01Preemptive Rights.

(a)The Company hereby grants to each Stockholder the right to purchase its pro rata portion of any new Shares (other than any Excluded Securities) (the “New Securities”) that the Company may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any party.

(b)The Company shall give written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance or sale described in Section 4.01(a) to the Stockholders within five (5) Business Days following any meeting of the Board at which any such issuance or sale is approved. The Issuance Notice shall, if applicable, be accompanied by a written offer from any prospective purchaser (a “Prospective Purchaser”) seeking to purchase New Securities and set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance, including:

(i)the number of New Securities proposed to be issued and the percentage of the outstanding Shares that such issuance would represent;

(ii)the proposed issuance date, which shall be at least twenty (20) Business Days from the date of the Issuance Notice; and

(iii)the proposed purchase price per share.

(c)Each Stockholder shall for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following the receipt of an Issuance Notice (the “Exercise Period”) have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase, at the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice, the amount of New Securities equal to the product of: (i) the total number of New Securities to be issued by the Company on the issuance date; and (ii) a fraction determined by dividing (A) the number of Shares owned by such Stockholder immediately prior to such issuance by (B) the total number of Shares outstanding on such date immediately prior to such issuance (the “Preemptive Pro Rata Portion”) by delivering a written notice to the

22


Company (an “Acceptance Notice”). Such Stockholder’s election to purchase New Securities shall be binding and irrevocable. The failure of a Stockholder to deliver an Acceptance Notice by the end of the Exercise Period shall constitute a waiver of its rights under this Section 4.01 with respect to the purchase of such New Securities, but shall not affect its rights with respect to any future issuances or sales of New Securities.

(d)No later than five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Company shall notify each Stockholder in writing of the number of New Securities that each Stockholder has agreed to purchase (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where such number is zero) (the “Over-Allotment Notice”). Each Stockholder exercising its right to purchase its Preemptive Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities in full (an “Exercising Stockholder”) shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any other Stockholder fails to exercise its right under this Section 4.01 to purchase its Preemptive Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities (each, a “Non-Exercising Stockholder”), such Exercising Stockholder may purchase all or any portion of such Non-Exercising Stockholder’s allotment (the “Over-Allotment New Securities”) by giving written notice to the Company setting forth the number of Over-Allotment New Securities that such Exercising Stockholder is willing to purchase within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Over-Allotment Notice (the “Over-Allotment Exercise Period”). Such Exercising Stockholder’s election to purchase Over-Allotment New Securities shall be binding and irrevocable. If more than one Exercising Stockholder elects to exercise its right of over-allotment, each Exercising Stockholder shall have the right to purchase the number of Over-Allotment New Securities it elected to purchase in its written notice; provided, that if the Over-Allotment New Securities are over­subscribed, each Exercising Stockholder shall purchase its pro rata portion of the available Over-Allotment New Securities based upon the relative Preemptive Pro Rata Portions of the Exercising Stockholders.

(e)The Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in the Issuance Notice with respect to any New Securities not elected to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.01(c) and Section 4.01(d) above in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the amount of New Securities to be issued or sold by the Company may be reduced), provided, such issuance or sale is closed within thirty (30) Business Days after the expiration of the Over-Allotment Exercise Period; subject, however, to the extension of such thirty (30) Business Day period for a reasonable time not to exceed sixty (60) Business Days after the expiration of the Over-Allotment Exercise Period to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any necessary Government Approvals. Prior to such proposed issuance or sale of New Securities, the Company shall cause: (i) each proposed holder of such New Securities to execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder Agreement; and (ii) if such proposed holder is an individual, any Spouse of such proposed holder to execute and deliver to the Company a Spousal Consent. In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such time period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Stockholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.01.

23


(f)The closing of any purchase by any Stockholder shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice. Upon the issuance or sale of any New Securities in accordance with this Section 4.01, the Company shall deliver share certificates (if any) evidencing the New Securities, which New Securities shall be issued free and clear of any Liens (other than those arising hereunder and those attributable to the actions of the purchasers thereof), and the Company shall so represent and warrant to the purchasers thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchasers that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to the Exercising Stockholders and after payment therefor, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. Each Exercising Stockholder shall deliver to the Company the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it by certified or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of New Securities shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale, including entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate.

ARTICLE V

OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 5.01 Corporate Opportunities. Except as otherwise provided in the second sentence of this Section 5.01: (a) no Stockholder or any of its Permitted Transferees or any of their respective Representatives shall have any duty to communicate or present an investment or business opportunity or prospective economic advantage to the Company in which the Company may, but for the provisions of this Section 5.01, have an interest or expectancy (a “Corporate Opportunity”); and (b) no Stockholder or any of its Permitted Transferees or any of their respective Representatives (even if such Person is also an officer or Director of the Company) shall be deemed to have breached any fiduciary or other duty or obligation to the Company by reason of the fact that any such Person pursues or acquires a Corporate Opportunity for itself or its Permitted Transferees or directs, sells, assigns, or transfers such Corporate Opportunity to another Person or does not communicate information regarding such Corporate Opportunity to the Company. The Company renounces any interest in a Corporate Opportunity and any expectancy that a Corporate Opportunity will be offered to the Company; provided, that the Company does not renounce any interest or expectancy it may have in any Corporate Opportunity that is offered to an officer or Director of the Company whether or not such individual is also a Director or officer of a Stockholder, if such opportunity is expressly offered to such Person in his or her capacity as an officer or Director of the Company.

Each Stockholder in possession of Confidential Information shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, take all appropriate steps to safeguard such information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss, and theft.

(b)Nothing contained in Section 5.02(a) shall prevent any Stockholder from disclosing Confidential Information: (i) upon the order of any court or administrative agency; (ii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Stockholder; (iii) to the extent compelled by legal process or required or requested pursuant to subpoena, interrogatories, or other discovery requests; (iv) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder; (v) to other Stockholders; (vi) to such Stockholder’s Representatives who, in the reasonable judgment of such Stockholder, need to know such Confidential Information and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.02 as if a Stockholder; or (vii) to any potential Permitted Transferee in connection with a proposed Transfer of Shares from such Stockholder, as long as such potential Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.02 as if a Stockholder before receiving such Confidential Information; provided, that in the case of clause (i), (ii), or (iii), such Stockholder shall notify the Company and other Stockholders of the proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as practicable (but in no event make any such disclosure before notifying the Company and other Stockholders) and use reasonable efforts to ensure that any Confidential Information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment satisfactory to the Company, when and if available.

(c)The restrictions of Section 5.02(a) shall not apply to Confidential Information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by a Stockholder or any of its Representatives in violation of this Agreement; (ii) is or has been independently developed or conceived by such Stockholder without use of Confidential Information; or (iii) becomes available to such Stockholder or any of its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company, the other Stockholders, or any of their respective Representatives, provided, that such source is not known by the receiving Stockholder to be bound by a confidentiality agreement regarding the Company.

25


(d)The obligations of each Stockholder under this Section 5.02 shall survive: (i) the termination, dissolution, liquidation, and winding up of the Company; and (ii) such Stockholder’s Transfer of its Shares.

Exhibit 10.11

EXECUTION VERSION

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 20, 2022 by and between Mission Holdings US, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), and [____] (“Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS, the Company and certain investors are parties to that certain Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, of even date herewith (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which such investors have agreed to purchase shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company;

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as directors or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such corporation;

WHEREAS, Articles of Incorporation of the Company were filed with the Colorado Secretary of State on November 2, 2020, as subsequently amended by the Articles of Amendment (including the Attachment to Amended Articles of Incorporation of Mission Holdings US, Inc.) filed with the Colorado Secretary of State on December 29, 2021 and the Designation, Preferences, Limitations and Relative Rights of Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company to be filed with the Colorado Secretary of State on or about the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Stock Purchase Agreement, as may be further modified, amended, and/or restated from time to time (collectively, the “Articles”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business enterprise itself. The Bylaws of the Company (as may be amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”) and the Articles require indemnification of the directors of the Company to the fullest extent that directors may be indemnified under the Colorado Business Corporation Act (“CBCA”). The Bylaws, the Articles and the CBCA expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that

1


EXECUTION VERSION

the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the CBCA, so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Bylaws and Articles and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Bylaws and Articles and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he or she be so indemnified; and

WHEREAS, Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (d/b/a Schwazze) (“Schwazze”) which Indemnitee and Schwazze intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein, with the Company’s acknowledgement and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve on the Board.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as a director of the Company from and after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Indemnity of Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time. In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof:

(a)Proceedings Generally. Except as set forth in Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(a) if, by reason of his or her Director Status (as hereinafter defined), Indemnitee is made a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined). Pursuant to this Section 1(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against liability incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding, if (i) Indemnitee’s conduct was in good faith, (ii) Indemnitee reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the Company, that such conduct was in the Company’s best interests, and in all other cases, that the conduct was at least not opposed to the Company’s best interests, and (iii) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(a) in connection with any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company is limited to reasonable Expenses (as defined below) incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding. For purposes of this Section 1(a), Indemnitee’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of such plan is

2


EXECUTION VERSION

conduct that satisfies the requirement of subsection (ii) of this Section 1(a), and Indemnitee’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose that Indemnitee did not reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of such plan shall be deemed not to satisfy the requirements of subsection (i) of this Section 1(a).

(b)Exceptions for Certain Proceedings. Indemnitee shall not be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in Section 1(b) in connection with: (i) any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company in which Indemnitee was adjudged liable to the Company except for reasonable Expenses (defined below) incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if it is determined that Indemnitee has met the relevant standard of conduct under Section 1(a); or (ii) any Proceeding charging that Indemnitee derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity with the Company, in which Proceeding Indemnitee was adjudged liable on the basis that Indemnitee derived an improper personal benefit.

(c)Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, unless limited by the Articles, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee, if Indemnitee was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any Proceeding to which Indemnitee was a party by reason of his or her Director Status, to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time, against all reasonable Expenses incurred by him or her, or on his or her behalf, in connection with such Proceeding.

(d)Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

2.Additional Indemnity. In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on, the indemnification provided for in Section 1 of this Agreement, the Company shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her, or on his or her behalf, if, by reason of his or her Director Status, he or she is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company). The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this section shall be that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof) to be unlawful.

3.Contribution.

(a)Whether or not the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is available, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any action, suit or

3


EXECUTION VERSION

proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.

(b)Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all directors of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction or events from which such action, suit or proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all directors of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the transaction or events that resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which applicable law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all directors of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.

(c)The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims of contribution which may be brought by directors of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.

(d)To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

4.Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Director Status, a witness, or is made (or asked) to respond to discovery requests, in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he or she shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her, or on his or her behalf, in connection therewith.

EXECUTION VERSION

5.Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall, prior to final disposition of a Proceeding, pay or reimburse the reasonable Expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding by or on behalf of Indemnitee who is a party to such Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Director Status, within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a written affirmation from Indemnitee (i) of such reasonable Expenses and requesting such advance or advances from time to time, and (ii) of Indemnitee’s good faith belief that Indemnitee has met the relevant standard of conduct described in Section 1(a) or the Proceeding involves conduct for which liability has been eliminated under a provision of the Articles as authorized by Section 7-102-102(2)(d) of the CBCA. Such written affirmation shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and include or be preceded or accompanied by a written undertaking, executed by or on behalf of Indemnitee, to repay any Expenses advanced if Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under Section 1(c)  and it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee has not met the relevant standard of conduct described in Section 1(a). Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free. This Section 5 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 9.

6.Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the CBCA and public policy of the State of Colorado. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

(a)To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee, is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification and is otherwise required to be submitted by any other provision of this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Company, or to provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not relieve the Company of any liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the interests of the Company. The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own Expense.

(b)Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a) hereof, a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four methods, which shall be at the election of the Board: (i) if there are two (2) or more Disinterested Directors (hereafter defined), by the Board by a majority vote of all the Disinterested Directors, a majority of whom constitute a quorum for such purpose, (ii) by a majority vote of a committee of the Board appointed by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, which committee consists of two (2) or more disinterested directors, (iii) by Independent Counsel (hereafter defined) selected in the manner specified in subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 6(b), or if there are fewer than two (2) Disinterested Directors, selected by a majority vote of the full Board, or (iv) by the shareholders of the Company, but shares owned by or voted under the control of a director who at the time is not a Disinterested Director may not be voted on such determination.

EXECUTION VERSION

(c)If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board. Indemnitee may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 133 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the court conducting the Proceeding in the State of Colorado or any other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Company and Indemnitee incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

(d)If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 6 to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such ninety (90) day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(d) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the shareholders pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination, the Board or the Disinterested Directors, if appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the shareholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within one hundred and five (105) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of shareholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within ninety (90) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat.

EXECUTION VERSION

(e)Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any Independent Counsel, member of the Board or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a determination regarding Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

(f)In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(g)Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise (as hereinafter defined), including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 6(g) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(g) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

(h)In the event that any action, suit or proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, suit or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such action, suit or proceeding.

7


EXECUTION VERSION

(i)The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement), of itself, adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the relevant standard of conduct described in Section 1(a) or Section 1(b).

7.Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a)In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification is made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 1(c), 1(d), 4 or the last sentence of Section 6(e) of this Agreement within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 1(a) and 2 of this Agreement within twenty (20) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Colorado, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 7(a). The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication.

(b)In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under Section 6(b).

(c)If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially misleading in connection with the application for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d)In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7, seeks a judicial adjudication of his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay on his or her behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 13 of this Agreement) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery.

8


EXECUTION VERSION

(e)The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. It is the intent of the Company that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to Indemnitee hereunder. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, if, in the case of indemnification, Indemnitee is wholly successful on the underlying claims; if Indemnitee is not wholly successful on the underlying claims, then such indemnification shall be only to the extent Indemnitee is successful on such underlying claims or otherwise as permitted by law, whichever is greater.

(f)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.

8.Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Primacy of Indemnification;  Subrogation.

(a)The rights of indemnification as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Articles, the By-laws, any agreement, a vote of shareholders, a resolution of directors of the Company, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Director Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the CBCA, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Articles, By-laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b)To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors or officers of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director or officer under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant

9


EXECUTION VERSION

to the terms hereof, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(c)The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Schwazze and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Articles or Bylaws of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8(c).

(d)Except as provided in paragraph (c) above, in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee (other than against the Fund Indemnitors), who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(e)Except as provided in paragraph (c) above, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

(f)Except as provided in paragraph (c) above, the Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

9.Exception to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

10


EXECUTION VERSION

(a)for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, provided, that the foregoing shall not affect the rights of Indemnitee or the Fund Indemnitors set forth in Section 8(c) above; or

(b)for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) or (iii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any compensation pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, including but not limited to any such policy adopted to comply with stock exchange listing requirements implementing Section 10D of the Exchange Act; or

(c)except as provided in Section 7(e) of this Agreement, in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) such payment arises in connection with any mandatory counterclaim or cross claim brought or raised by Indemnitee in any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) or (iii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law; or

(d)for Expenses determined by the Company to have arisen out of Indemnitee’s breach or violation of his or her obligations under (i) any employment agreement between Indemnitee and the Company or (ii) the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (as amended from time to time).

10.Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an officer or director of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under Section 7 hereof) by reason of his or her Director Status, whether or not he or she is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.

11


EXECUTION VERSION

11.Security. To the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of Indemnitee.

12.Enforcement.

(a)The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumes the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director of the Company.

(b)This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(c)The Company shall not seek from a court, or agree to, a “bar order” which would have the effect of prohibiting or limiting Indemnitee’s rights to receive advancement of expenses under this Agreement.

13.Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

(a)“Director Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director of the Company.

(b)“Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

(c)“Enterprise” shall mean the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director.

Expenses also shall include (i) Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including, without limitation, the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedeas bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent (ii) Expenses incurred in connection with recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee is ultimately determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement or Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be, and (iii) for purposes of Section 7(e)7(e) only, Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement, the Articles, the Bylaws or under any directors’ and officers’ liability

12


EXECUTION VERSION

insurance policies maintained by the Company, by litigation or otherwise. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

(f)“Proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, claim, counterclaim, cross claim, arbitration, mediation, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any appeal therefrom, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of his or her Director Status, by reason of any action taken by him or her, or of any inaction on his or her part, while acting in his or her Director Status; in each case whether or not he or she is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement; including one pending on or before the date of this Agreement, but excluding one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement to enforce his or her rights under this Agreement.

14.Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to confer upon Indemnitee indemnification rights to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. In the event any provision hereof conflicts with any applicable law, such provision shall be deemed modified, consistent with the aforementioned intent, to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict.

15.Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

16.Notice By Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with or otherwise receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification covered hereunder. The failure to so notify the Company shall

13


EXECUTION VERSION

not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company.

17.Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt, or (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent, if sent by electronic mail during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day, or (c) one (1) business day after the business day of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, postage prepaid, specifying next-day delivery.
