I, a Delaware corporation (“Merida”), (ii) Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“MSOF”), and (iii) Meteora Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“MCP), (together with MSOF and MCP, each individually an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”). Each of Merida, MSOF and MCP is individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”. Each of MSOF and MCP is individually referred to herein as a “Principal Investor” and together, the “Principal Investors”.

WHEREAS, Merida is a special purpose acquisition company, also known as a blank check company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses;

WHEREAS, Merida has entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with Leafly Holdings, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Leafly”), pursuant to which a wholly-owned merger subsidiary of Merida will merge with and into Leafly, and then Leafly as the surviving company of that merger will merge with and into another wholly-owned merger subsidiary of Merida (such transactions, the “Business Combination” and Merida, following the the consummation of that second merger shall be referred to herein as the “Company”), and Merida has filed a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) that will seek, among other things, stockholder approval of the Business Combination; and

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Company shall purchase from the Investors, and the Investors may sell and transfer to the Company, in each case, subject to the conditions set forth herein, certain shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of Merida held by the Investors (the “Shares”) on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

(a)Forward Share Purchase. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4, on the three (3) month anniversary of the date of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing Date”), the Investors may elect to sell and transfer to the Company, and the Company shall purchase from the Investors, the number of Shares (including any Additional Shares (as defined below)) that are then held by the Investors, but not to exceed 1,400,000 Shares (including any Additional Shares) in the aggregate unless otherwise agreed in writing by all Parties, at a price per Share equal to $10.01 per Share (the “Shares Purchase Price”). Each Principal Investor shall, notify the Company and the Escrow Agent (as defined below) in writing five (5) Business Days (as defined below) prior to the three (3) month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date whether or not such Investor is exercising such Investor’s right to sell any of the Shares (including any Additional Shares) held by such Investor to the Company pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Shares Sale Notice”).

On the

Shares Closing Date, each selling Investor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Shares (including any Additional Shares) subject to the applicable Shares Sale Notice free and clear of all liens and encumbrances to Escrow Agent and, in exchange therefor, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to each such selling Investor(s) an amount equal to (i) the Shares Purchase Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares being sold by such selling Investor (with respect to any particular selling Investor, the “Investor Shares Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Escrow Account.

(d)Escrow.

(i)Simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, Merida shall deposit, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which Merida hereby acknowledges, into a non-interest bearing escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”), subject to the terms of a written escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and to be entered into on or prior to the Business Combination Closing Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $14,014,000 and (y) $10.01 multiplied by the number of Shares and Additional

Shares held by the Investors as of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Escrowed Funds”). The Escrow Agreement shall irrevocably cause the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account the aggregate Shares Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1. The payments to be made by the Escrow Agent to the Investors in accordance with Section 1 or Section 4(c), if applicable, will be made solely with the Escrowed Funds.

(ii)Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent and Company of written notice that any Investor has sold Shares above $10.01 (including any Additional Shares) as provided in Section 4(c), the Escrow Agent may release to the Company for the Company’s use without restriction an aggregate amount equal to the number of Shares (including any Additional Shares) sold multiplied by $10.01.

(iii)In the event that any Investor elects not to sell to the Company any Shares (including any Additional Shares) held by such Investor by either (A) a Principal Investor delivering a written notice to the Company on behalf of itself stating such Investor’s intention not to sell any Shares (or any Additional Shares) to the Company, or (B) such Investor failing to timely deliver a Shares Sale Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 1(a) for all of its Shares, the Company may promptly issue instructions to the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account to the Company for the Company’s use without restriction an amount equal to (x) $10.01 multiplied by (y) the number of Shares held by such Investor.

(e)Notification. Each of the Company and the Principal Investors shall promptly notify the other of the occurrence of any event that would make any of the representations and warranties of such Party set forth in Section 3 and Section 2, respectively, untrue or incorrect at any time between the date of this Agreement and the Shares Closing Date, except where the failure of a representation and warranty to be true and correct would not have a material adverse effect on Merida’s or the Company’s ability to consummate the Transactions.

(f)Security Agreement in Escrow Account. To secure the obligations of Merida and the Company under this Agreement, Merida and the Company each grant to the Principal Investors a security interest in, and lien on, all right, title, and interest of Merida and the Company in and to the Escrow Account in respect of all funds required to satisfy Merida’s and the Company’s obligations hereunder, the Escrow Agreement, all rights related thereto, and all proceeds, products, and profits of the foregoing. In the event of a default by Merida or the Company under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, then, in addition to any other rights the Principal Investors may have under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and applicable law, the Principal Investors shall also have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York. Merida and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file such UCC financing statements or other documents as reasonably directed by the Principal Investors with respect to their security interests.

5.Closing Conditions. The obligation of the Company to purchase the Shares at the Shares Closing under this Agreement shall be subject in all respects to the consummation of the Business Combination, such Shares being free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances as of the Shares Closing and such Shares being continuously held by the Investors from the closing of

the Business Combination through the three (3) month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date.

6.Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(a)at any time by mutual written consent of all Parties;

(b)automatically if the stockholders of Merida fail to approve the Business Combination; and

(c)prior to the closing of the Business Combination by mutual agreement of the Principal Investors if there occurs a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided that, solely for purposes of this Agreement (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the Merger Agreement), the failure of the counterparties to the Note Purchase Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to fund or cause the funding of 25% or greater of the aggregate amount of the Notes (as defined in the Merger Agreement) when required to do so pursuant to the terms of the Note Subscription Agreements shall constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect.

In the event of termination in accordance with Section 6(a), 6(b), 6(c), or 6(d) this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of MSOF, MCP, Merida, or the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, or stockholders and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all rights and obligations of each Party shall immediately cease; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6 shall relieve any Party from liabilities or damages arising out of any actual fraud or willful breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement prior to termination of this Agreement.

7.Trust Fund Waiver. Each Principal Investor acknowledges that Merida has established a trust account (“Trust Account”) for the benefit of Merida’s public stockholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances as described in the SEC Reports. Each Principal Investor further acknowledges and agrees that Merida’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of Merida’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders. Each Principal Investor (on behalf of itself and its affiliates) hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the Trust Account and any funds contained therein for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Principal Investors’ right to pursue a claim against the Company for (i) legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account or (ii) specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so long as such claim would not affect Merida’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate redemption of public shares as described in the SEC Reports. This Section 7.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

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 (i) personal delivery to the Party to be notified, (ii) 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, (iii) five (5) Business Days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, freight prepaid, specifying next Business Day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

(b)No Finder’s Fees. Each Party represents that it neither is nor will be obligated for any finder’s fee or commission in connection with the Transactions. Each Principal Investor agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless Merida from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder’s or broker’s fee arising out of the Transactions (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which the Investors, or any of their respective officers, employees or representatives is responsible or arising out of any agreement entered into by any such person or entity.

(d)Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any documents, instruments and writings that are delivered pursuant hereto or referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of its subject matter and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or to the Transactions.

(e)Successors. All of the terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors.

(h)Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(i)Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the Parties, and any litigation among the Parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its choice of laws or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Any dispute arising from or relating to the relative rights of the parties hereto and all other questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement, shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) or, to the extent the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts (the “Delaware Federal Court”) or, to the extent neither the Court of Chancery nor the Delaware Federal Court has subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (the

(k)Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except with the prior written consent of all Parties.

(l)Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any Party or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Parties agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

(m)Expenses. Each Party shall pay its own expenses in connection with this Agreement; provided, however that Merida and the Company are jointly responsible for all fees associated with the Escrow Account.

(n)Most Favored Nation. In the event the Sponsor enters into separate agreements with other investors in respect of the purchase of the Shares, before or after the execution of this Agreement, the Sponsor represents that the material terms of such other agreements will be no more favorable to such other investors thereunder than the terms of this Agreement are in respect of the Investors. In the event that another investor is afforded any such more favorable terms than the Investors, the Sponsor shall promptly so inform the Investors of such more favorable terms, and the Investors shall have the right to elect to have such more favorable terms included herein, in which case the parties hereto shall promptly amend this Agreement to effect the same. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Sponsor transfers or sells Founder Shares to another investor and that investor also executes a non redemption agreement or forward share purchase agreement substantially similar to this Agreement with terms more beneficial to another investor than the Investors, the Investors shall be notified of such agreement and have the right to amend the terms of this Agreement to match the more favorable terms and/or the Investors shall have the right elect to have such terms included herein

(o)Exclusivity. Merida represents that it has not entered into any similar agreements with any other parties prior to the execution of this Agreement. Merida may enter into a similar non-redemption or forward purchase agreement for a maximum aggregate 4,000,000 shares, subject to the terms of Section 8(n).

(p)Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which commercial banks in New York are obligated by any applicable law to close. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the

context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If a Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

(q)Waiver. No waiver by a Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.

(r)Specific Performance. Each Party agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed by any other Party in accordance with the terms hereof and that the other Parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

(s)Rule 10b5-1.

i.The Company represents and warrants to the Investors that Company is not entering into this Agreement to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of such securities or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act, and the Company represents and warrants to the Investors that the Company has not entered into or altered, and agrees that the Company will not enter into or alter, any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares. The Company acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties that this Agreement comply with the requirements of paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”) and this Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

ii.The Company agrees that it will not seek to control or influence the Investors’ decision to make any “purchases or sales” (within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B)(3)) under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Investors’ decision to enter into any hedging transactions. The Investors represent and warrant that they have consulted with their own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Agreement under Rule 10b5-1.

iii.The Company acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5, and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which the Company or any officer, director, manager or similar person of the Company is aware of any material non-public information regarding the Company or the Shares.
