BACKGROUND

WHEREAS, the Parties are each party to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2023 (the “Agreement”);

Whereas, the Parties wish to make certain changes to the provisions related to the Purchase Price, including to account for payments made by Rockwell to dispose of expired Inventory.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

(d) all manufacturing equipment, supplies and other tangible personal property used primarily in the Concentrates Business, including the manufacturing equipment, supplies and other tangible personal property listed on Disclosure Schedule 1.1(d) (the “Equipment”); provided, however, that Equipment listed on Disclosure Schedule 1.1(d) that cannot be physically separated from its existing site and physically relocated to Purchaser’s site using commercially reasonable efforts (the “Undeliverable Equipment”) shall not be considered an Acquired Asset and Seller shall have no obligation to reimburse Purchaser for such Undeliverable Equipment;

“2.1         Purchase Price. In consideration of the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall pay and deliver to Seller an aggregate purchase price amount equal to sixteen million dollars ($16,000,000) plus the Final Inventory Amount (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller as follows:

(a)            at Closing, an amount equal to eleven million dollars ($11,000,000) (the “Closing Purchase Price”) plus the Estimated Inventory Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller;

(b)            two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000), (the “First Deferred Payment”), payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller; provided, however, that pursuant to Section 8.4(d) the First Deferred Payment shall be partially offset by an amount equal to three hundred twenty-two thousand, two hundred sixty dollars ($322,260) to reimburse Purchaser for expenses incurred by Purchaser following the Closing related to the disposal of expired Inventory (the “Expired Inventory”), resulting in a reduction of the First Deferred Payment to two million one hundred seventy-seven thousand seven hundred forty dollars ($2,177,740) (the “Adjusted First Deferred Payment”).

(c)            two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) (the “Second Deferred Payment” and collectively with the Adjusted First Deferred Payment, the “Deferred Payments”), payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller in four (4) installments payable as follows: $750,000 on July 10, 2025; $750,000 on October 10, 2025; $500,000 on January 12, 2026; and $500,000 on April 10, 2026.”
