THIS MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made as of the 15 day of February, 2018 by and among Total Grow Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company d/b/a Total Grow Control, LLC (the “Company”), urban-gro, Inc., a Colorado corporation ( “Purchaser”), and the persons listed as “Members” on the signature pages to this Agreement (each a “Member” and together the “Members”).

 

The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

 

Section 1.1 Sale and Issuance of Membership Interest.

 

(a)       Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to purchase at the Closing and the Company agrees to sell and issue to Purchaser at the Closing a five percent (5%) membership interest in the Company on a fully-diluted basis immediately subsequent to the Initial Closing (as defined below) (the “Membership Interests”), for an aggregate purchase price of $125,000. The Membership Interests issued to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (including any Membership Interests issued at the Initial Closing and any other Closing) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Interests.”

 

Section 1.2 Closing; Delivery.

 

(a)        The initial purchase and sale of the Interests shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures, on the date hereof, or at such other time and place as the Company, the Members and Purchaser mutually agree upon, orally or in writing (which time and place are designated as the “Initial Closing”). In the event there is an Option Closing (as defined below), Second Option Closing (as defined below) and/or Purchase Right Closing (as defined below), “Closing” shall apply to each such closing unless otherwise specified.

 

(b)       At each Closing, the Purchaser shall receive the Interests being purchased by Purchaser at such Closing against payment of the purchase price therefor by check payable to the Company or by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Company.

 

Section 1.3 Sale of Additional Interests.

 

(a)       The Company hereby grants to Purchaser the option to purchase from the Company (the “Option”) up to an additional five percent (5%) of the outstanding Membership Interests on a fully-diluted basis immediately subsequent to the Option Closing (as defined below) (the “Option Interests”) at a purchase price extrapolated based upon a Company pre-money valuation of $3,000,000 (the “Exercise Price”). The Purchaser may exercise the Option at any time on or after June 30th, 2018 to and including August 31, 2018 (the “Exercise Period”) by delivering written notice thereof to the Company (the “Exercise Notice”). The closing of an exercise of the Option (the “Option Closing”) shall be within ten (10) business days of receipt of the Exercise Notice by the Company. If Purchaser delivers a Purchase Notice to the Company or if the Exercise Notice is not delivered to the Company during the Exercise Period, the Option shall expire, and be null and void and of no further force or effect. The Option Closing shall be conducted pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement as if it were the Initial Closing, and Purchaser shall deliver the Exercise Price in cash or other immediately available funds to the Company and the Company shall issue the appropriate number of Option Interests to Purchaser.

The Purchaser may exercise the Second Option at any time on or after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement to and including the date that is 90 days thereafter (the “Second Exercise Period”) by delivering written notice thereof to the Company (the “Second Exercise Notice”). The closing of an exercise of the Second Option (the “Second Option Closing”) shall be within ten (10) business days of receipt of the Second Exercise Notice by the Company. If the Company does not deliver a Second Option Notice, if Purchaser delivers a Second Purchase Notice to the Company or if the Second Exercise Notice is not delivered to the Company during the Second Exercise Period, the Second Option shall expire, and be null and void and of no further force or effect. The Second Option Closing shall be conducted pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement as if it were the Initial Closing, and Purchaser shall deliver the Second Exercise Price in cash or other immediately available funds to the Company and the Company shall issue the appropriate number of Second Option Interests to Purchaser.

 

(c)        Each Member hereby grants to Purchaser the right to purchase from such Member (the “Purchaser Right”) all of the outstanding Membership Interests on a fully-diluted basis immediately subsequent to the Purchase Right Closing (as defined below) (the “Purchase Right Interests”) at a purchase price extrapolated based upon a Company valuation of $7,500,000 (the “Purchase Right Exercise Price”). The Purchaser may exercise the Purchase Right at any time on or after the end of the 15 month anniversary of the date of this Agreement to and including the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Purchase Right Exercise Period”) by delivering written notice thereof to such Member (the “Purchase Right Exercise Notice”). The closing of an exercise of the Purchase Right (the “Purchase Right Closing”) shall be within ten (10) business days of receipt of the Purchase Right Exercise Notice by such Member. If Purchaser delivers a Purchase Right Exercise Notice to such Member or if the Purchase Right Exercise Notice is not delivered to such Member during the Purchase Right Exercise Period, the Purchase Right shall expire, and be null and void and of no further force or effect. The Purchase Right Closing shall be conducted pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement as if it were the Initial Closing, and Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Right Exercise Price in cash or other immediately available funds to such Member and such Member shall, and shall cause the Company to on its books, transfer the Purchase Right Interests to Purchaser.

Other than with respect to commercially available software products under standard end-user object code license agreements, there are no outstanding options, licenses, agreements, claims, encumbrances or shared ownership interests of any kind relating to the Company Intellectual Property, nor is the Company bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information, proprietary rights and processes of any other Person. The Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company has violated, or by conducting its business, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, tradenames, copyrights, trade secrets, mask works or other proprietary rights or processes of any other Person. The Company has obtained and possesses valid licenses to use all of the software programs present on the computers and other software-enabled electronic devices that it owns or leases or that it has otherwise provided to its employees for their use in connection with the Company’s business. To the Company’s knowledge, it will not be necessary to use any inventions of any of its employees or consultants (or Persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by the Company. Each employee and consultant has assigned to the Company all intellectual property rights he or she owns that are related to the Company’s business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.

For purposes of this Subsection 2.8, the Company shall be deemed to have knowledge of a patent right if the Company has actual knowledge of the patent right or would be found to be on notice of such patent right as determined by reference to United States patent laws.

 

Section 2.9 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default (i) of any provisions of its Certificate of Formation (the “Certificate”) or the Operating Agreement, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage, or (iv) under any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or (v) of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either (i) a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, contract or agreement; or (ii) an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit or license applicable to the Company.

(c)        The Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other Person.

 

(d)       The Company has not engaged in the past in any discussion with any representative of any Person regarding (i) a sale or exclusive license of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or (ii) any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other business combination transaction of the Company with or into another Person.

None of the Company’s Managers, officers or employees, or any members of their immediate families, or any Affiliate of the foregoing are, directly or indirectly, indebted to the Company or have any (i) material commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable or familial relationship with any of the Company’s customers, suppliers, service providers, joint venture partners, licensees and competitors, (ii) direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation which competes with the Company except that Managers, officers, employees or Members of the Company may own stock in (but not exceeding two percent (2%) of the outstanding capital stock of) publicly traded companies that may compete with the Company; or (iii) financial interest in any contract with the Company.

The property and assets that the Company owns are free and clear of all mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, loans and encumbrances, except for statutory liens for the payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and encumbrances and liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Company’s ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to the property and assets it leases, the Company is in compliance with such leases and, to its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances other than those of the lessors of such property or assets.

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, except that the Financial Statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP. The Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating results of the Company as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein. Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, the Company has no material liabilities or obligations, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to December 31, 2017; (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business; and (iii) liabilities and obligations of a type or nature not required under GAAP to be reflected in the Financial Statements, which, in all such cases, individually and in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP.

Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

Section 3.1 Authorization. Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into the Transaction Agreements. The Transaction Agreements to which Purchaser is a party, when executed and delivered by Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

 

Section 3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Interests to be acquired by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Interests. Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Interests.

Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Interests with the Company’s management and has had an opportunity to review the Company’s facilities.

Section 3.4 Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that the Interests have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that the Interests are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Interests indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Interests for resale. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Interests, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

 

 

 

 13 

 

 

Section 3.5 No Public Market. Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Interests, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Interests.

 

Section 3.6 Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

Section 3.7 No General Solicitation. Neither Purchaser nor any of its officers or directors has either directly or indirectly, including, through a broker or finder (a) engaged in any general solicitation, or (b) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Interests.
