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

(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.

During the Interim Period, without the prior written consent of Buyer, Seller will not, and Equityholders will cause Seller not to, in each of the following cases, with respect to the Business only, engage in any practice, take or fail to take any action or enter into any Contract or transaction that could reasonably be expected to cause the representations and warranties of Seller and Equityholders contained herein to be untrue at any time between the date hereof and the Closing.

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 Denver 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.

(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 Denver, 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 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,

​

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)

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.
