3.Third Party Marketing Process.

 

(a)For up to fifty (50) days after the date of this Agreement (the “Marketing Period”), the Greenrose Entities will use commercially reasonable efforts to market themselves and their assets (such process, the “Marketing Process”) with the goal of receiving a proposal (an “Alternative Transaction Proposal” and the transaction contemplated therein, an “Alternative Transaction”) for a sale, disposition, new-money investment, restructuring, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, acquisition, consolidation, debt investment, equity investment, liquidation, tender offer, recapitalization, share exchange, business combination, or similar transaction involving any one or more Greenrose Entity, any one or more Greenrose Entity’s assets, or the debt, equity, or other interests in any one or more Greenrose Entity that is an alternative to the Foreclosure (as defined herein). During the Marketing Period, the Agent and Consenting Lenders shall forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, in accordance with (and subject to) the terms of the Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance”).

 

(b)During the first twenty (20) days (or up to thirty (30) days at the election of the Special Committee (as defined below)) of the Marketing Period (“Phase One”), the Greenrose Entities shall solicit non-binding indications of interest from third parties for an Alternative Transaction involving the Greenrose Entities. At the conclusion of Phase One, if the Greenrose Entities receive indications of interest from one or more third parties that the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Holdings (the “Special Committee”), reasonably determines (after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisors) have the potential to become a Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal (as defined below) (each an “Identified Potential Qualified Purchaser”), then such parties will be invited to participate in the second phase (“Phase Two”) of the Marketing Process and the Forbearance shall be automatically extended until the end of Phase Two. If the Special Committee does not identify any Identified Potential Qualified Purchasers during Phase One, then the Marketing Period shall end and there will not be a Phase Two unless the Agent or Consenting Lenders consent to the occurrence of Phase Two.

(c)During Phase Two, Identified Potential Qualified Purchasers will have until day fifty (50) of the Marketing Period to formalize their indications of interest into binding proposals (such proposal, a “Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal” and the transaction contemplated therein, a “Qualifying Alternative Transaction”). Each Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal shall: (1) (i) be binding, (ii) provide evidence that such bidder is financially capable of consummating the transactions contemplated in such proposal, (iii) not be subject to any diligence or financing contingencies, (iv) include no additional conditions precedent or termination events than those included in Sections 6 and 15 of this Agreement, (v) be accompanied by a cash deposit equal to 10 percent (10%) of the total consideration included in such proposal (a “Good Faith Deposit”), which shall be held in escrow by an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) mutually selected by the Greenrose Entities, the Agent and the Consenting Lenders on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to the Greenrose Entities, the Agent and the Consenting Lenders; provided that the definitive documents with respect to such Alternative Transaction Proposal shall provide that one-half of the Good Faith Deposit will be forfeited and used to pay down the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) if the Greenrose Entities sign a Qualifying Alternative Proposal and such Qualifying Alternative Proposal is not consummated due to a failure to receive necessary regulatory approval and (vi) provide for payment in full, in cash of the sum, calculated as of the date of consummation of the transaction contemplated by such Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal, (the “Hurdle Amount”) of (a) the Obligations including the Applicable Make-Whole Amount (each as defined in the Credit Agreement); (b) the fees and expenses of any investment banker or similar professional retained by the Greenrose Entities in connection with the Qualifying Alternative Transaction; and (c) the amount necessary to provide for sufficient funding to wind down the Company upon closing of the transactions contemplated in such Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal; provided that such amount shall not be less than the Wind-Down Amount; or (2) be on terms otherwise acceptable to the Company, Agent and Consenting Lenders. No proposal will be considered a Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal unless the Greenrose Entities retain a right therein to terminate such Alternative Transaction Proposal on the date that is 90 days from the date on which the Alternative Transaction Proposal is first presented by the Greenrose Entities to the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection in connection with the Connecticut regulatory approval and cannabis licensing process (the “Qualifying Alternative Transaction Outside Date”). If the Greenrose Entities enter into a Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal, the Greenrose Entities shall be required to deliver such termination on the date immediately following the Qualifying Alternative Transaction Outside Date unless the Agent consents otherwise.

 

(d)The Greenrose Entities shall be entitled to, in their sole discretion, determine how to market their assets so as to maximize (i) the number of Alternative Transaction Proposals (including Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposals); and (ii) the value of such proposals; provided that at a minimum, the Greenrose Entities shall provide due diligence to reasonably qualified potential bidders, subject to customary exclusions, as determined in good faith by the Greenrose Entities, including such third parties executing a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance acceptable to the Greenrose Entities.

 

(e)If the Greenrose Entities have received more than one Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal, no later than three (3) business days following the conclusion of Phase Two, the Greenrose Entities shall conduct an in-person auction that is “on the record” (the “Auction”), at which the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders as defined in the Credit Agreement), may “credit bid” the Hurdle Amount, as such amount existed on the last business day prior to the day of the Auction (a “Credit Bid”). The Greenrose Entities shall not adjourn, postpone or cancel the Auction without the prior written consent of the Agent and Consenting Lenders (which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld). If the Greenrose Entities receive no more than one Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal, the Greenrose Entities may determine, in their reasonable discretion, not to hold the Auction and instead declare the applicable Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal as the highest and best Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal. After receipt and review of Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposals and, in any event, the Agent and/or the Consenting Lenders may elect (such election, the “Credit Bid Election”) to participate in the Auction. If the Agent and Consenting Lenders make a Credit Bid Election, the Agent at the direction of the Consenting Lenders must submit a bid reasonably consistent with the procedures to which all participating bidders are required to comply with to the Greenrose Entities no later than two (2) business days prior to the Auction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent and Consenting Lenders shall have the right to include cash consideration, including in excess of the Hurdle Amount, in conjunction with any Credit Bid.

(f)To the extent there are multiple Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposals, prior to the conclusion of the Auction, the Greenrose Entities shall (i) determine which Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal is the next highest or otherwise best after the winning bid (the “Backup Bid”) and (ii) notify such bidder that such bidder’s Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposal was selected as the Backup Bid. A Backup Bid shall remain binding on the applicable bidder until the earlier of (A) the closing of transaction(s) contemplated by the winning bid and (B) 90 days after the date of the Auction (the “Back-Up Period”). If the winning bidder fails to consummate the Qualified Alternative Transaction contemplated in its winning bid during the Back-Up Period, the Backup Bidder shall be deemed the new winning bidder, and the Greenrose Entities shall consummate the Qualified Alternative Transaction contemplated by the Backup Bid.

 

(g)If the Company receives one or more Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposals, the Marketing Period and Forbearance shall automatically extend for ten (10) days to allow the Company to conduct the Auction and finalize definitive documentation with respect to such applicable Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposals.

 

(h)If the Company enters into definitive documentation with respect to a Qualifying Alternative Transaction then the Forbearance shall automatically extend until through and including the date on which such Qualifying Alternative Transaction has received all necessary regulatory approvals from the applicable governmental or regulatory authorities and the satisfaction (or waiver) of all other conditions precedent to the consummation of such transaction, but in no event later than the Qualifying Alternative Transaction Outside Date. All Qualifying Alternative Transaction Proposals must terminate on the Qualifying Alternative Transaction Outside Date, as such date may be extended, changed or modified by the Greenrose Entities, subject to the prior consent of the Agent and Consenting Lenders.

 

(i)Cash proceeds from a Qualifying Alternative Transaction that is consummated shall be sufficient to satisfy the Hurdle Amount and shall be used to pay the Hurdle Amount in full on the date of closing of such Qualifying Alternative Transaction.

 

(j)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Greenrose Entity and its respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, consultants and other advisors or representatives shall have the right during the Marketing Period to: (i) consider and respond to any inquiry, proposal, offer, bid, term sheet, discussion, or agreement with respect to any potential Alternative Transaction Proposal; (ii) provide access to non-public information concerning any Greenrose Entity to any entity or provided that such entity enters into a confidentiality agreement or nondisclosure agreement with the Greenrose Entities; or (iii) maintain or continue discussions or negotiations with respect to potential Alternative Transaction Proposals and enter into or continue discussions or negotiations with holders of claims or interests in Greenrose Entity or any other entity regarding the Foreclosure and/or any Alternative Transaction Proposal; provided, that, prior to the Agent and/or Consenting Lenders making a Credit Bid Election, and if the Agent and Consenting Lenders (i) elect not to make a Credit Bid Election or (ii) make a Credit Bid Election and subsequently cease participation in the Auction, the Greenrose Entities shall (x) provide a copy of any written Alternative Transaction Proposal or topping bid (and notice of, and a written summary of, any oral Alternative Transaction Proposal or topping bid) as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances after the Greenrose Entities’ or their advisors’ receipt of such Alternative Transaction Proposal to the Agent, Consenting Lenders and their advisors and (y) provide such information to the Agent, Consenting Lenders and each of their advisors as reasonably requested by such parties or as necessary to keep the Agent, Consenting Lenders and their advisors reasonably informed as to the status and substance of such discussions (subject to applicable law and any applicable confidentiality obligations of the Greenrose Entities, if such obligations are not intended to frustrate the rights of the Agent and Consenting Lenders hereunder). If the Agent and/or NewCo make a Credit Bid Election, then the Agent and Consenting Lenders will only be entitled to receive the same information provided to all bidders at the Auction.
