RECITALS
 
A.           On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Purchaser is willing to purchase from the Company, and the Company is willing to issue and sell to such Purchaser, a senior secured convertible debenture in the principal amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I hereto and to transfer the related warrant to purchase certain equity securities of Parent listed opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I hereto.
 
B.           Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the form of Debenture (as defined below) attached hereto as Exhibit A; provided however that “Required Purchasers” shall have the meaning given to the defined term “Required Holders” in such Debenture.
 
C.           All references to $ shall mean United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
 
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth below, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
 
1. The Debentures and Warrants.
 
(a) Issuance of Debentures. Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Purchasers, and each of the Purchasers severally agrees to purchase, a senior secured convertible debenture in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Debenture” and, collectively, the “Debentures”) in the principal amount set forth opposite the respective Purchaser’s name on Schedule I hereto. The aggregate principal amount for all Debentures issued hereunder shall not be less than $10,000,000 (the “Minimum Amount”) and shall not exceed $15,700,000 (the “Maximum Amount”). The Debentures shall be convertible into Class C Common Shares (the “Company Shares”) of the Company in accordance with their terms pursuant to the Amended Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below). The Company Shares shall be redeemable for subordinate voting shares of Parent (the “Voting Shares”) in accordance with their terms pursuant to the Amended Certificate of Incorporation and the Support Agreement (as defined below). Payment for the Debentures shall consist of cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
 
(b) Transfer of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in consideration for the purchase by the Purchasers of the Debentures and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Parent agrees to issue to Company and Company agrees to transfer to each Purchaser, a warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”). The Warrants issued and transferred pursuant to this Section 1(b) shall be exercisable for Voting Shares as provided in such Warrants, with each such Warrant exercisable, at an exercise price of $0.28 per Voting Share, for a number of Voting Shares equal to (x) the principal amount of the Debenture purchased by such Purchaser divided by (y) $0.20 (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant). The Debentures and the Warrants, taken together, constitute an “investment unit” for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In accordance with Sections 1273(c)(2)(A) and 1273(b)(2) of the Code, the issue price of the investment unit is the purchase price of the Debentures, a portion thereof equal to $0.0235 times the number of shares underlying the Warrants representing the fair market value of the Warrants. Accordingly, the fair market value of the Warrants shall be treated as “original issue discount” that will accrue over the term of the Debentures as additional interest for federal income tax purposes. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, the parties shall not take any position inconsistent with that allocation on any tax return or for any other tax purpose.
 
 
 
 
(c) Closing. The sale and purchase of Debentures and the Warrants shall take place at a closing (the “Initial Closing”) to be held on April 10, 2020 or such other date that is mutually agreeable to the Company and the Purchasers investing in the Company at the Initial Closing (the “Initial Closing Date”), and on which not less than the Minimum Amount is subscribed for and purchased, by remote electronic exchange of executed documents and funds, or, at such other place and time as the Company and the Purchasers may determine. At the Initial Closing, the Company shall deliver a Debenture and Warrant to each of the Purchasers against receipt by the Company of the corresponding purchase price set forth on Schedule I hereto (the “Purchase Price”). The Company may conduct one or more additional closings (each, an “Additional Closing” and, collectively, the “Additional Closings”; and, together with the Initial Closing, the “Closings” and each, a “Closing”) to be held within 45 days of the Initial Closing or by such earlier date on which Debentures and Warrants in the aggregate principal amount equal to the Maximum Amount shall have been purchased, at such place and time as the Company and the Purchaser(s) participating in such Additional Closing (each an “Additional Purchaser”) may determine (each, an “Additional Closing Date” and collectively, the “Additional Closing Dates”; and, together with the Initial Closing Date, the “Closing Dates” and each, a “Closing Date”). At each Additional Closing, the Company shall deliver a Debenture and Warrant to each of the Additional Purchasers participating in such Additional Closing against receipt by the Company of the corresponding Purchase Price. Each Debenture shall be convertible into Company Shares in accordance with its terms and shall be registered in such Purchaser’s name in Company's records. All such sales made at any Additional Closings shall be made on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement provided that (i) the representations and warranties of the Company and Parent set forth in Section 2 hereof shall speak as of the Initial Closing and neither the Company nor Parent shall have any obligation to update any disclosure related thereto, and (ii) the representations and warranties of each Additional Purchaser set forth in Section 3 hereof shall speak as of the date of such Additional Closing. This Agreement, including without limitation, Schedule I, shall be amended to include any Additional Purchasers without the consent of the parties hereto, including any Purchaser, upon the execution by any such Additional Purchaser of a counterpart signature page hereto. Any Debentures purchased by Additional Purchasers shall be deemed to be “Debentures,” for all purposes under this Agreement and any such Additional Purchasers shall be deemed to be “Purchasers” for all purposes under this Agreement.
 
2. Representations and Warranties of the Company and Parent. The Company and Parent, on a joint and several basis, represent and warrant to each Purchaser, subject to Section 9(l) below that, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, as of the Initial Closing Date:

Such Purchaser is not disqualified from owning an equity interest in a commercial cannabis business licensed for cultivation, manufacturing, retail and/or distribution under MAUCRSA.

7. Tax Matters.
 
(a) Taxes.
 
(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under the Debentures shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any taxes; provided that if the Company is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payment, then:
 
(A) If such tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amount payable by the Company shall be increased so that after making all required deductions or withholdings, each Purchaser receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholdings been made; and
 
(B) The Company shall make such deductions, timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and provide each Purchaser with official receipts or other evidence satisfactory to such Purchaser for each payment.
 
(ii) Without duplication, each of the Company and Parent jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Purchaser upon demand for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by such Purchaser or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Purchaser and any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable expenses and any Indemnified Taxes imposed on any amount taxable under this Section 7(a)(ii)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Indemnification payments due to any Purchaser under this Section 7(a)(ii) shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Purchaser makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(b) Purchaser Status for U.S. Tax Purposes.
 
(i) Any Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Debenture shall deliver to the Company, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Purchaser, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company as will enable the Company to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 7(b)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser.
 
 
 
 
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
 
(A) any Purchaser that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;
 
(B) any non-U.S. Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Company) on or prior to the date on which such non-U.S. Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), whichever of the following is applicable
 
i) in the case of a non-U.S. Purchaser claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Debenture, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor thereto) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Debenture, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor thereto) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
 
ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
 
iii) in the case of a non-U.S. Purchaser claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially to the effect that such non-U.S. Purchaser is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor thereto); or
 
iv) to the extent a non-U.S. Purchaser is not the beneficial owner of payments made to it, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate by such non-U.S. Purchaser, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor thereto), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the non-U.S. Purchaser is a partnership or other tax transparent entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and one or more direct or indirect partners of such foreign Purchaser are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such foreign Purchaser may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner or beneficial owners.
 
(C) any non-U.S. Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Company) on or prior to the date on which such non-U.S. Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
 
(D) if a payment made to a Purchaser under any Debenture would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to Company at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Company such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Company as may be necessary for compliance with FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D) “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
 
(E) Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification or notify the Company in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
 
 
 
8. Lock-Up. Each Purchaser hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers, during the one year period commencing on the date of the Initial Closing, (a) sell, offer to sell, pledge, mortgage, hypothecate, encumber, dispose of or engage in any similar transaction, directly or indirectly, the Debentures, the Warrants or the securities issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Debentures, the Warrants or the securities issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof; provided, however, that a Purchaser may transfer any such Debentures, the Warrants or the securities issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof to an affiliate of such Purchaser provided that such transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 8.
 
9. Miscellaneous.
 
(a) Waivers and Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement, the Warrants and the Debentures may be amended, waived or modified only upon the written consent of the Company, Parent and the Required Purchasers. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended to add a party as a Purchaser hereunder in connection with Additional Closings without the consent of any other Purchaser, by delivery to the Company of a counterparty signature page to this Agreement, together with a supplement to Schedule I hereto. Such amendment shall take effect at the Additional Closing and such party shall thereafter be deemed a “Purchaser” for all purposes hereunder and Schedule I hereto shall be updated to reflect the addition of such Purchaser.
 
(b) Governing Law and Venue.
 
(i) This Agreement and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Delaware, without regard to its rules governing the conflict of laws.
 
(ii) Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Delaware State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, in Wilmington, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts; (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts; (c) waives any objection or defense which it may now or hereafter have based on personal jurisdiction; (d) waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court; and (e) waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each Party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each Party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9(g).
 
(iii) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN ANY OF THE PARTIES (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.
 
(c) Survival. The representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement until the first anniversary of the Initial Closing.
 
(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned, conveyed or transferred by any Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, a Purchaser that is a partnership, corporation, trust, joint venture, unincorporated organization or other entity may transfer its rights under this Agreement to an affiliate without the prior written consent of the Company. This Agreement may not be assigned, conveyed or transferred by the Company without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers, provided that the Company may assign this without the consent of any Purchaser to an acquiror of all or a substantial portion of the Company’s business and assets (however structured). Subject to the foregoing, the rights and obligations of the Company and each Purchaser under this Agreement shall be binding upon and benefit their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and are not intended to confer any third-party benefit on any other Person. In addition, the Company shall maintain a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Purchaser and each other Person receiving any assignment permitted hereunder, and the principal amount (and stated interest) owing thereto under the Debentures.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Company, Parent, each Purchaser and each other Person receiving any assignment permitted hereunder shall treat each Person listed in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a lender for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  No purported transfer of any interest in the Debentures shall be effective except upon recordation in the Register.  The Register shall be available for inspection by each Purchaser and each other Person receiving any assignment permitted hereunder, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  The parties intend that this Section 9(d) shall be interpreted and administered such that the Debentures are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 165(g), 871(h)(2), 881(c)(2) and 4701 of the Code.
 
(e) No Stockholder Rights. Until and only to the extent that the Debentures shall have been duly converted into or the Warrants shall have been exercised for capital stock of Parent, (i) nothing contained in this Agreement, the Warrants or the Debentures shall be construed as conferring upon any Purchaser the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of meetings of stockholders for the election of directors of Parent or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of Parent and (ii) no dividends shall be payable or accrued in respect of the Debentures or the Warrants or the shares obtainable thereunder.

(h) Separability of Agreements; Severability. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the rights of each Purchaser hereunder are several rights, not rights jointly held with any of the other Purchasers. Any invalidity, illegality or limitation on the enforceability of the Agreement or any part thereof, by any Purchaser whether arising by reason of the law of the respective Purchaser’s domicile or otherwise, shall in no way affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement with respect to other Purchasers. If any provision of this Agreement shall be judicially determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the Company and the Required Purchasers will in good faith agree upon an enforceable provision that most nearly gives effect to the intent of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
 
(i) Expenses. The Company shall reimburse a single counsel to Geronimo Central Valley Opportunity Fund, LLC and Merida Capital Partners (the “Lead Investors”) for reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
