Xxxxx, Seller and the Company will each be referred to herein from time to time as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article XII below.

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 1, 2021, as amended June 10, 2022 (the “2021 SPA”), Seller purchased the Company from the owners of the Buyer (the “Buyer Owners”);

WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer now wish for Buyer to purchase the Company from the Seller;

WHEREAS, Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company (the “Company Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Company provides enterprise resource planning software solutions for the cannabis industry (the “Business”);

WHEREAS, Seller and the Buyer Owners desire to enter into an Acknowledgement, Termination and Release in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto, pursuant to which, among other things, the Buyer Owners shall release certain payment obligations of Seller under the 2021 SPA, which the Buyer acknowledge is, together with the Purchase Price referenced below, sufficient, good and valuable consideration for entering into this Agreement (the “Termination and Release”); and

WHEREAS, in accordance with this Agreement, Xxxxx wishes to purchase, and Seller wishes to sell and transfer to the Buyer, the Company Shares in exchange for the Purchase Price (as defined below).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE

In accordance with this Agreement, at the Closing Buyer shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall sell to Buyer, all of the Company Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances, for an aggregate purchase price consisting of $500,000 of cash (the “Cash Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.03, plus the deemed value of $2,283,806.42 in consideration of the Termination and Release (as further described in the Termination and Release) (the “Earn-out Consideration” and together with the Cash Purchase Price collectively referred to as the “Purchase Price”).

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, Buyer will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Tax Law; provided, however, that if the Buyer believes that withholding is required with respect to any amounts payable under this Agreement (other than with respect to payments in the nature of compensation to be made to employees or former employees or for failure to deliver a completed and executed Form W-9 or Form W-8 pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(iii)), the Buyer shall provide Seller with notice of the intention to withhold reasonably in advance of such withholding and the opportunity for Seller to provide any statement, form or other documentation that would eliminate the requirement to withhold. If Buyer so withholds amounts, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.03 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Purchase Price Adjustments. At the Closing, the Closing Consideration will be calculated by adjusting the Cash Purchase Price in the following manner:

(i) decreased by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Closing Accounts Payable Amount exceeds $331,109.47 (the “Target Accounts Payable Amount”);

(ii) decreased by the Accounts Payable Holdback Amount, which shall be held back by Buyer to satisfy Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and pursuant to Section 10.03(d) (the “Accounts Payable Holdback”);

(iii) decreased by the outstanding Indebtedness of the Company as of immediately before the Closing, to the extent such Indebtedness has not been repaid by a Payoff Letter;

(iv) increased by the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Company as of immediately before the Closing;

(v) and

(vi) decreased by the Transaction Expenses.

(b) At least two (2) Business Days before the Closing, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement, together with supporting details (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the balance sheet of the Company and the Subsidiary on a consolidated basis as of immediately prior to the Closing (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby) and, based thereon, Seller’s good faith estimate of the Closing Consideration and each component thereof, including Closing Accounts Payable Amount (the “Estimated Closing Accounts Payable Amount”), Indebtedness, Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Transaction Expenses, together with a certificate of Seller that the Estimated Closing Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such Estimated Closing Statement were being prepared as of a fiscal year end. The Parties agree and acknowledge that Closing Accounts Payable Amount shall be calculated substantially in accordance with the example calculations set forth on Exhibit B (the “Accounts Payable Example”).

3

(c) Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(i) No later than January 31, 2023, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement, together with supporting details (the “Final Closing Statement”), prepared in accordance with GAAP and setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of: (A) the Closing Consideration and each component thereof, including Closing Accounts Payable Amount, Indebtedness, Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Transaction Expenses and (B) the resulting adjustments, if any, required to be made to the Closing Consideration pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii).

(ii) If the Closing Consideration, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.03 (the “Final Closing Consideration”), is greater than or less than the Closing Consideration reflected in the Estimated Closing Statement (the “Estimated Closing Consideration”), there shall be an adjustment to the Closing Consideration (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”). The Post-Closing Adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Final Closing Consideration minus the Estimated Closing Consideration. In accordance with Section 2.03(d)(vi), if the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Buyer shall pay to Seller in cash the Post-Closing Adjustment, such payment consisting of release of up to 50% of the Accounts Payable Holdback to Seller (to the extent of such positive number Post-Closing Adjustment) and, if any additional amount remains unpaid, by cash payment to Seller. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, (A) Buyer shall initially recover such excess from the Accounts Payable Holdback, provided that Buyer shall only be permitted to recover up to the Accounts Payable Holdback Amount for such Post-Closing Adjustment and (B) if the Post-Closing Adjustment payable to Buyer is less than 50% of the Accounts Payable Holdback Amount, Buyer shall release to Seller the amount equal to the difference between the amount of such Post-Closing Adjustment and 50% of the Accounts Payable Holdback Amount. If the Post- Closing Adjustment is zero, no payment shall be made.

(d) Examination and Review for Accounts Payable.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Final Closing Statement, Seller shall have 10 days (the “Review Period”) to review the Final Closing Statement. During the Review Period, Seller shall have full access to the books and records of the Company, to the employees and advisors of the Company, and work papers prepared by Xxxxx, to the extent that they relate to the Final Closing Statement and Xxxxx’s calculations set forth therein and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Final Closing Statement as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Final Closing Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be during normal working business hours and in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Company.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller may object to the Final Closing Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Accounts Payable Amount and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Final Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller as of the last day of the Review Period. If Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to promptly resolve such objections (but in no event taking more than 10 days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”)), and, if the same are so resolved by written agreement of Buyer and Seller within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Final Closing Statement with such changes (if any) as agreed to in writing by Xxxxx and Seller shall be final and binding.

4

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of a nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants that Buyer and Seller shall appoint by mutual agreement; provided that if Buyer and Seller are unable to mutually agree upon an independent certified public accounting firm within ten (10) days after the date any party asserts in writing that there are any Disputed Amounts hereunder, Buyer and Seller shall each select an independent certified public accounting firm within five (5) days thereafter and the two (2) independent certified public accounting firms shall mutually agree upon a nationally or regionally recognized independent certified public accounting firm within ten (10) days after being selected (the final independent public accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make adjustments (if any) to the Post-Closing Adjustment, and the Final Closing Statement. The Parties agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Final Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively. Buyer and Seller shall each furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues, and shall provide interviews and answer questions, as such Independent Accountant may reasonably request.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Seller on the one hand, and by Xxxxx, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Xxxxxx and Xxxxx. For clarity, if Seller’s Disputed Amount is $100,000 and the Independent Accountant awards Seller $30,000, Seller shall pay 70% of the fees of the Independent Accountant.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a written determination with respect to each Disputed Item, which shall include an explanation in writing for the Independent Accountant’s reasons for the determinations set forth therein, as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the Parties shall agree in writing) after its engagement, and the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the Disputed Amounts and adjustments (if any) to the Final Closing Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment (using GAAP) shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

(vi) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall (A) be due (x) if there are not Disputed Amounts, within ten (10) days after acceptance of the Final Closing Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within ten (10) days after the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) (1) if a payment is required to be made to Buyer, then Buyer will be entitled to receive from Seller directly by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Xxxxx, and (2) if a payment is required to be made to Seller, Buyer shall pay such amount to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Xxxxxx.

5

(e) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.03 will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

2.04 Acknowledgement of Termination and Release. Buyer acknowledges that (a) the Buyer Owners, as beneficial owners of Buyer, shall receive sufficient, good and valuable consideration for the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of the Termination and Release; and (b) the Buyer is indirectly benefitting from the Termination and Release.

9.02 Tax Matters.

(a) Straddle Periods. Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period, the determination of the Taxes of the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of the Company for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the Company were closed at the close of the Closing Date; provided, however, that exemptions, allowances, deductions or Taxes that are calculated on an annual basis, such as ad valorem and other similar Taxes imposed on property (“Property Taxes”), franchise based solely on capital, and depreciation deductions, shall be apportioned between such two taxable years or periods on a daily basis. In determining whether a Property Tax is attributable to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date or a Straddle Tax Period (or portion thereof), any Property Tax shall be deemed a Property Tax attributable to the taxable period specified on the relevant Property Tax bill. Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of a United States shareholder (within the meaning of Section 951(b) of the Code) of a controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code) attributable to amounts included in the income of such United States shareholder under Section 951 of the Code for the taxable year or period of such controlled foreign corporation that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date, the determination of liability for any such Taxes shall be made by assuming that the taxable year or period of the controlled foreign corporation consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other of which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date and relevant items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of the controlled foreign corporation shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the controlled foreign corporation were closed at the close of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Subpart F income (within the meaning of Section 952 of the Code) of the controlled foreign corporation shall be determined without regard to Section 952(c) of the Code.

(b) Tax Returns.

(i) Seller shall timely file or cause to be timely filed when due, at Seller’s own expense, (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary on or prior to the Closing Date and shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Buyer shall timely file or cause to be timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary after the Closing Date and Buyer shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns.

(ii) All Tax Returns that Seller or Buyer is required to file or cause to be filed in accordance with this Section 9.02(b) shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice and, on such Tax Returns, no position shall be taken, election made or method adopted that is inconsistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in preparing and filing similar Tax Returns in prior periods (including positions, elections or methods that would have the effect of deferring income to periods ending after the Closing Date or accelerating deductions to periods ending on or before the Closing Date).

22

(c) Contest Provisions.

(i) Buyer shall notify Seller in writing upon receipt by Buyer, any of its Affiliates or, after the Closing Date, the Company or any Subsidiary, of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments relating to any Pre-Closing Taxer Period or to any Straddle Period (a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”).

(ii) Buyer shall have the sole right to represent the Company’s interests in any Pre- Closing Tax Contest, and to employ counsel of Buyer’s choice at Buyer’s expense; provided, however, that Seller shall be permitted, at Seller’s expense, to be present at, and participate in, any such audit or proceeding, and Buyer shall not settle or compromise such Pre-Closing Tax Contest without Seller’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(d) Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Buyer shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to):

(i) timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to, Taxes described in Section 12.02 (relating to sales, transfer and similar Taxes);

(ii) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with Section 9.02(b), and in connection therewith, provide the other party with any necessary powers of attorney;

(iii) cooperate fully in preparing for and defending any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary;

(iv) make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary; and

(v) furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, that Buyer shall only be obligated to furnish copies of such correspondence to Seller to the extent such audit or information request relates to Taxes for which Seller may be liable under the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Post-Closing Actions. Without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, Buyer shall not, with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary for a Pre-Closing Tax Period: (i) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return, (ii) extend or waive any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax, (iii) apply to any taxing authority for any binding or non-binding opinion, ruling, or other determination, or voluntarily initiate any discussion or make any voluntary disclosure with any taxing authority, (iv) report any Tax deduction related to Transaction Expenses or any other compensatory amounts or transaction expenses that are paid or accrued on or before the Closing Date pursuant to the “next day rule” under Treasury Regulations section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) or elect to ratably allocate items pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.1502- 76(b)(2) (or any similar provision of applicable Law), (v) make or change any Tax election (including any election under Section 336(e) or Section 338 of the Code, or under any analogous or similar rules in any relevant Tax jurisdiction), or (vi) file any Tax Return in a jurisdiction where the Company have not previously filed Tax Returns for any Tax period.

(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim, if (A) the settlement does not unconditionally release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all Liabilities with respect to such Third Party Claim, (B) the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against, or requires any payment by, the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (C) the settlement contains any statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, or (D) the settlement may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of the Indemnified Party; and

(iii) if (A) any of the Litigation Conditions ceases to be met or (B) the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense, subject to the limits in this Article X.

(e) Each Party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith, subject to attorney- client privilege.

10.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Claims. Buyer and Seller agree to report each indemnification payment made in respect of Damages as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal income Tax purposes unless the indemnified party determines in good faith that such reporting position is incorrect (it being understood that if any reporting position is later disallowed in any administrative or court proceedings, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party for the effects of such disallowance).
