Joint and Several Liability

Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other documents entered into in connection with this Agreement (the “Loan Documents”) in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lender under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section O constitutes the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Loans issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section O afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section O, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section O shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section O shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or the Lender.

Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to the Lender that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers’ financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Lender’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such Borrower.

The provisions of this Section O are made for the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any Borrower as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lender, successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section O shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section O will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

Until the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated, each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Lender with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor.

Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the Debt owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any Debt of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such Debt, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for Lender, and such Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to the Lender, for application to the Obligations.

Termination

Borrower and Lender each hereby agree that the Loan Agreements shall terminate upon the date (the “Termination Date”) when Borrower’s Obligations have been paid in full. The termination of the Loan Agreements shall represent full and complete satisfaction of all obligations of Borrower and Lender to each other under the Loan Agreements and will trigger concurrent automatic termination of any security interest, pledge agreement and similar by and between Borrower and Lender, entered into at any time in connection with this Agreement, without any additional action required by either party, provided, however, those obligations, liabilities, covenants, and terms that are expressly specified in the Loan Agreements as surviving that respective agreement’s termination, including without limitation, Borrower’s indemnity obligations set forth in the Loan Agreement, shall continue to survive notwithstanding this termination.. On the Termination Date Lender undertakes to terminate any and all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements filed in connection with this Agreement.

If any Unit shall, upon examination by Borrower, prove to be defective in material or workmanship under normal intended usage and maintenance during the warranty period, then Borrower shall repair or replace, at its sole option, such defective item at its own expense or at the expense of a third party that is not the Lender or Affiliate.

INDEMNIFICATION

Borrower shall indemnify Lender and Affiliates against damages, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with third-party litigation arising out of or resulting from any actual defect in the goods purchased hereunder or in connection with the delivery or installation of such goods by Borrower, to the extent that such damages, liabilities, and expenses are directly caused by said defect or other acts or omission of the Borrower.

Likewise, Lender shall, and shall cause Affiliates to defend, indemnify, and hold the Borrower harmless against all damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with third-party litigation arising out of or resulting from the misuse or improper use or operation of the equipment by Lender or Affiliates, their employees, agents or contractors, including but not limited to the disabling or modification of any safety devices or other acts or omission of Lender or Affiliates.

Lender shall cause Affiliates to commit to notify Borrower in writing within ten (10) calendar days of any accident or injury involving the Unit of which the respective Affiliate becomes aware.

INSURANCE

The Units are bespoke pieces of equipment intended for use in connection with processing, among other, cannabis, and therefore it may be impracticable or illegal to obtain insurance for the Units. The Borrower shall undertake its best efforts to maintain, or shall cause Lessees to maintain, if practicable, insurance covering the Units for an amount up to the Unit Purchase Price per the respective Unit. In any event, loss or damage to the Units shall not be Lender or Affiliates responsibility unless caused by intentional or negligent acts or omissions of either Lender, Affiliate, Lender authorized personnel or Affiliates authorized personnel.

FEDERAL CANNABIS LAWS

The parties acknowledge that as of the date hereof, the production, sale, possession and use of cannabis are illegal under the Controlled Substances Act, 21 USC 801 et seq., as it applies to marijuana (“CSA”) and that cannabis is currently classified as a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA. The United States Supreme Court has confirmed that the federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, including for medical purposes, and that federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use. The parties hereto understand that while cannabis production is currently legal under the laws of various states of the United States of America, such laws are subject to change and that the production, sale, use and possession of cannabis may remain illegal under federal law for the foreseeable future. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in the other documents contemplated hereby to the contrary, neither Lender nor Affiliate nor Borrower nor any of their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees or other agents make or shall make, at any time for the duration of this Agreement, any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, written or oral, on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties, as to the applicability of and compliance with CSA and any other federal laws dealing with the possession, use, cultivation, processing and/or transfer of cannabis as it relates to the Parties or the Lessees.

REMEDIES

In addition to any remedies set forth in these terms and conditions of Sale, each of Lender and Borrower shall be entitled to any and all remedies otherwise available to it under applicable law and not precluded by the Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in these terms and conditions of Sale or in any other written document, if payment in full is not made by Affiliate for the Units sold by Borrower to Affiliate, then Borrower shall not commence manufacturing of the Units and shall not deliver the Units in the event of a breach of default by Lender or by Affiliate in any of Lender’s obligations under this Appendix A, or any of Affiliate’s obligations under any agreement to which the respective Affiliate and Borrower are a party. Notwithstanding the above, and without prejudice to any other right or remedy which any Party may have, Lender acknowledges and agrees that breaches of Lender’s or Affiliates’ obligations under Sections F through P, inclusively, shall cause Borrower irreparable harm, and that damages alone may not be an adequate remedy for breaches of sections F through P, inclusively, by Lender or by any Affiliate, so that in the event of a breach or anticipated breach of the provisions contained in said sections the remedies of injunction an/or an order for specific performance may be available, appropriate and pursued.

FORCE MAJURE

Neither Lender nor Borrower shall be liable for damages, including liquidated damages, if any, for delays in delivery or failure to perform in connection with the Equipment manufacturing, sale or rental, except for payment of the Unit Purchase Price, due to causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the party claiming Force Majeure. Such causes include but are not limited to, acts of God, acts of war or terrorism, acts of the federal or any State or local government, fires floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, disturbances, or embargoes.

ASSIGNMENT

The Borrower may subcontract or assign any or all of its obligations under this Appendix A in its discretion. It is understood, however, that the Borrower remains fully responsible for compliance with its obligations under the Agreement including conformance of the machinery to the requirements set forth herein. Lender may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Lender entities, which Lender may from time to time incorporate.
