ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

-18-

6.2Press Releases and Announcements. At and prior to the Closing Date, no press releases related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, or other announcements to the employees, customers or suppliers of the Seller Parties shall be issued without the mutual approval of the Parties, except for any public disclosure which is required by law or regulation.
6.3Further Transfers. The Seller Parties shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional action as Buyer may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and any other transactions contemplated hereby. The Seller Parties will execute such documents as may be necessary to assist Xxxxx in preserving or perfecting its rights in the Purchased Assets. Buyer will execute and deliver such further instruments and take such additional actions as the Seller Parties may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities.
6.4Specific Performance. The Parties each acknowledge that the Purchased Assets are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by such party, money damages may be inadequate and Buyer or the Seller Parties, as applicable, may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Xxxxx and the Seller Parties agree that the other Party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce their rights and the obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief.

-19-
(b)Remedy for Breach. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach by another Party of any of the provisions of this Section 6.6, monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, the non-breaching Party and/or its respective successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages and the other Parties each waive any defense in any such action that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(c)Enforcement. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 6.6 is invalid or unenforceable, each Party agrees that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

7.3Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by the Seller Parties without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or by Buyer without the prior written consent of Greenlane or Warehouse (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
7.4Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.
7.5Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context otherwise requires. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation. The disclosures on the Disclosure Schedules relate to specific representations and warranties and, to the extent it is reasonably apparent from the reading of such disclosure, such other representations and warranties contained herein. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. In addition, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that any purchase price adjustments as a result of the application of any provision of this Agreement or any other of the Transaction Documents do not prejudice or limit in any respect whatsoever any Party’s rights to indemnification under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or pursuant to any other applicable requirement of law.
7.6Captions. The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no caption had been used in this Agreement.
7.7Entire Agreement. The schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules identified herein) and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or
-22-
representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof and thereof in any way, including the Letter of Intent, dated March 22, 2024, signed by the Parties. Notwithstanding any oral agreement or course of conduct of the Parties or their representatives to the contrary, no Party to this Agreement shall be under any legal obligation to enter into or complete the transactions contemplated hereby unless and until this Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by each of the Parties.
7.8Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
7.9Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada.
7.10Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person, other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by virtue of this Agreement.
7.11CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREE THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, AND NOT IN ANY OTHER STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR ANY COURT IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY. BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT, AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE MAILING BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OF ANY PROCESS REQUIRED BY ANY SUCH COURT SHALL CONSTITUTE VALID AND LAWFUL SERVICE OF PROCESS AGAINST THEM, WITHOUT NECESSITY FOR SERVICE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR RULE OF COURT.
7.12Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
7.13Waiver. No failure or delay of any Party hereto in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or
-23-
any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder. Any agreement on the part of any Party hereto to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such Party.
7.14Delivery by Facsimile or Electronic Transmission. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or .pdf signature, and a facsimile or .pdf signature shall constitute an original for all purposes.
