WHEREAS, Grantor and Secured Party entered into that certain security agreement, dated October 24, 2024 (the “Security Agreement”) wherein the Grantor granted and pledged all its right, title, and interest in the Collateral to the Secured Party to secure the Obligations arising under that certain non-revolving credit facility agreement, dated October 24, 2024, as amended by that first amendment dated April 7, 2025 (the “Loan Agreement”) between the Secured Party (as lender) and Company (as borrower);

 

WHEREAS, the Grantor’s wholly owned subsidiary, DEP Nevada, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“DEP”) is entering into that certain purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Ascend New Jersey, LLC, (the “Purchaser”) wherein DEP is selling 100% of the equity interests (the “Subject Equity”) of BaM Body and Mind Dispensary NJ, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), to the Purchaser;

 

WHEREAS, a closing condition of the Purchase Agreement is that the Subject Equity is sold, transferred, and conveyed to Purchaser free and clear of all liens and security interests;

 

WHEREAS, the Secured Party consents to the Purchase Agreement and the transfer of the Subject Equity contemplated thereby, and agrees to terminate and release the Subject Equity, the Company and any Collateral held, owned, leased, or used by the Company (collectively, the “Released Collateral”) from the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

 

WHEREAS, Grantor and Secured Party desire to terminate the Security Agreement with respect to the Released Collateral and to fully release and relinquish any and all security interests in and obligations of the Released Collateral under the Security Agreement;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Consent. By executing this Termination, as of the Execution Date, the Secured Party hereby grants its express consent to the Purchase Agreement and the transaction contemplated therein.

 

2. Effective Date; Irrevocable.

This Termination shall be irrevocable until the earlier of the (i) termination of the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) July 31, 2027.

 

3. Termination. As of the Effective Date, the Released Collateral is hereby fully released from the Security Agreement and any other interest of the Secured Party.

The Secured Party further agrees that each of Grantor and Purchaser, or an agent of either party, is authorized to file such UCC-3 Financing Statements Amendment. Additionally, the Secured Party agrees to provide any other documents requested by Grantor or Purchaser to effectuate the release contemplated hereby, provided that they are consistent with the foregoing.
