Exhibit 2.1

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO MERGER AGREEMENT

This AMENDMENT NO. 2 (this “Amendment”) to the AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among THERAPLANT, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (the “Company”), Greenrose Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), GNRS CT Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company solely in its capacity as the representative of the Selling Securityholders (the “Selling Securityholders’ Representative”), is entered into on November 26, 2021. Terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, reference is hereby made to the Merger Agreement as amended to date (capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in the Merger Agreement); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance with Section 9.11 of the Merger Agreement, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Merger Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

““Deferred Cash Payment Amount” shall mean Ten Million ($10,000,000) plus simple interest thereon at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, payable in equal monthly installments during the first twelve months following Closing. The Deferred Cash Payment shall be payable to Paying Agent on behalf of the Company Members for further distribution to the Company Members in accordance with the Allocation Certificate. The Deferred Cash Payment Amount may, at the election of the Theraplant Steering Committee, be converted (in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time) into Parent Common Stock at a price per share of $10.00, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.6 of the Merger Agreement.”

““Financing Sources” shall mean the Persons that that have committed to provide or arrange or have otherwise entered into agreements in connection with any financing in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and any permitted assignees thereof, together with their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives involved in such financing and their respective successors and assigns.”

1.6 Aggregate Consideration. The aggregate amount (including any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 1.13) of consideration to be paid or issued by Parent in respect of all Company Units shall be an amount (the “Aggregate Consideration”) equal to the sum of the amounts set forth in the following subsections (a) through (g):

(a) an amount equal to (i) One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), minus (ii) the Escrow Amount, minus (iii) the Expense Amount, minus (iv) the Managing Member Expense Amount, (v) minus the Deferred Cash Payment Amount (the sum of preceding (i)-(v) is defined as, the “Initial Consideration”);

(b) an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, as determined in accordance with Section 1.13, and the Base Net Working Capital, to the extent a positive number, if any;

(c) the amount released from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 7.5(a), if any;

(d) the amount released from the Expense Fund pursuant to Section 9.13(c), if any;

(e) the amount released from the Managing Member Expense Fund pursuant to Section 9.17, if any; and

(f) Stock Consideration comprised of unregistered shares of Parent Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share payable with respect to the Initial Consideration in the aggregate amount of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), and with respect to any conversion of the Deferred Cash Payment Amount, issuable to the Selling Securityholders in share amounts specified in writing to Parent by the Theraplant Steering Committee.

The number of shares of Parent Common Stock comprising the Stock Consideration portion of the Initial Consideration is subject to upward adjustment in the event that the Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Agreement has not been declared effective 75 days after the completion of the Merger and the Parent Common Stock Price is less than $10.00 per share. If the Parent Common Stock Price is less than $10.00 per share, Parent shall cause to be issued to Selling Securityholders, in amounts to be confirmed by the Theraplant Steering Committee, that number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock which, multiplied by the Parent Common Stock Price, adds additional Stock Consideration in such amount that aggregate Stock Consideration to the Company’s equity holders equals $50,000,000 (using the Parent Common Stock Price); provided, however, any obligation of Parent to issue such additional shares of Parent Common Stock shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,0000,000) of additional Parent Common Stock, valued at the Parent Common Stock Price. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock comprising the Common Stock into which the Deferred Cash Payment Amount may be converted is subject to adjustment in the event the Parent Common Stock Price is less than $10.00 per share at the time of conversion such that the number of shares issuable upon conversion constitutes Stock Consideration in the amount of $10,000,000 (using the Parent Common Stock Price at time of conversion); provided however, any obligation of Parent to issue such additional shares of Parent Common Stock with respect to conversion of the Deferred Cash Payment Amount shall not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).

(g) Parent shall pay the Deferred Cash Payment Amount, as it becomes due and payable and with accrued interest thereon, to Paying Agent on behalf of the Company Members for further distribution by Paying Agent to the Company Members in accordance with the Allocation Certificate. Any agreement with any Financing Sources shall expressly permit payment by Parent of the Deferred Cash Payment Amount (either in cash or Parent Common Stock) (i) with respect to the first six monthly payments, without restriction, and (ii) with respect to the last six monthly payments, subject solely to blockage by the Financing Source as a result of an Event of Default (as defined in the credit agreement between Greenrose and the Financing Source) as a result of a payment default or the Financing Source accelerating the loan.

To provide assurance on payment of the Deferred Cash Payment Amount, Parent shall establish, for the benefit of the Company Members, a separate account to be funded at all times with two months’ of payments on the Deferred Cash Payment Amount. It is expected that funding from such account will be from Company revenue, though funding can be from other sources as well. Parent agrees to maintain the amount available in such account for the benefit of the Company Members, until such time as the Deferred Cash Payment Amount has been paid to the Company Members in full, or all of such amount has been converted in accordance with this Section. Parent grants to the Steering Committee and its designated agents or representatives the right to review and inspect the records of Parent and the Company to confirm such account is operating in accordance with this paragraph.

3. Investment held by TPT Holdings, LLC. Parent and the Company agree that for purposes of calculating the New Working Capital of the Company, the Company’s indirect investment in LLL shall be disregarded. Parent and the Company agree that any proceed realized from the disposition of the Company’s investment in LLL held by TPT Holdings, LLC shall be split evenly (50-50), and the proceeds due to the Company from any such disposition shall be distributed to the Selling Securityholders through the Paying Agent in the same manner as Closing proceeds are distributed to the Selling Securityholders.

Subject to the foregoing sentence, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

7. Section 9.7 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following to the end of Section 9.7 of the Merger Agreement:

8. Section 9.8 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Section 9.8 of the Merger Agreement in its entirety with the following:

In addition, in no event will any Financing Source be liable for consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or indirect damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) or damages of a tortious nature.”
