(d)            The parties hereto mutually agree not to assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the other, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated therein, any Note or the use of proceeds thereof; provided, that nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrowers of any obligation they may have to indemnify any Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(e)            All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

10.2          Noteholder Representative.

(a)            Appointment of the Noteholder Representative.

(i)            Each Purchaser irrevocably appoints NR 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the Noteholder Representative and authorizes it to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Noteholder Representative under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the execution and delivery of such Loan Documents other than this Agreement to which the Noteholder Representative is a party (including without limitation the Subordination Agreement and the Security Agreements), in each case on behalf of and for the benefit of the Noteholders, together with all such actions and powers that are reasonably incidental thereto. The Noteholder Representative may perform any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Noteholder Representative. The Noteholder Representative and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions set forth in this Section 10.2 shall apply to any such sub-agent, attorney-in-fact or Related Party and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the Obligations as well as activities as the Noteholder Representative.

(ii)            It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” or “representative” herein or in any other Loan Document (or any similar term) with reference to the Noteholder Representative is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law or that the Noteholder Representative will be providing any financial or advisory services. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b)            Nature of Duties of the Noteholder Representative. The Noteholder Representative shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) except as expressly set out in any Loan Document, the Noteholder Representative shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Noteholder Representative shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents, (c) the Noteholder Representative shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Noteholder Representative to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; (d) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Noteholder Representative shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Noteholder Representative or any of its Affiliates in any capacity and (e) except as may be expressly required under this Agreement, the Noteholder Representative shall not be obligated to seek the consent of or input from the Purchasers in connection with the exercise of his rights and performance of his obligations as the Noteholder Representative under this Agreement. The Noteholder Representative shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its sub-agents or its attorneys-in-fact with the consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers or, if no such consent or request is applicable, in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. The Noteholder Representative shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Noteholder Representative acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. The Noteholder Representative shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being an “Event of Default” hereunder) is given to the Noteholder Representative by the Borrowers or any Purchaser, and the Noteholder Representative shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Noteholder Representative. The Noteholder Representative may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrowers) concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

(c)            Lack of Reliance on the Noteholder Representative. Each of the Purchasers acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Noteholder Representative or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Purchasers also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Noteholder Representative or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(d)            Certain Rights of the Noteholder Representative. If the Noteholder Representative shall request instructions from the Required Purchasers with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, the Noteholder Representative shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Purchasers, and the Noteholder Representative shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Noteholder Representative shall not have received instructions from the Required Purchasers within five (5) Business Days of its delivery of any such request for instructions made by it to the Purchasers, the Noteholder Representative shall be free to act in its own discretion and not be bound by any instructions from fewer than the Required Purchasers. Without limiting the foregoing, no Purchaser shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Noteholder Representative as a result of the Noteholder Representative acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Purchasers where required by the terms of this Agreement or from acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the rights granted to it under this Agreement where no such instructions are required.

(e)            Reliance by the Noteholder Representative.     The Noteholder Representative shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Noteholder Representative may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Noteholder Representative may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

(f)             Indemnification of the Noteholder Representative by Purchasers. The Purchasers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Indemnitees against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Purchaser arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the performance by the Noteholder Representative of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Purchasers shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated therein. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

(g)            The Noteholder Representative in its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Noteholder Representative shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Purchaser as any other Purchaser and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Noteholder Representative; and the terms “Purchasers”, “Required Purchasers” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Noteholder Representative in its individual capacity. The Person acting as the Noteholder Representative and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliates of the Borrowers as if it were not the Noteholder Representative hereunder.

(h)            Successor Noteholder Representative.

( )             The Noteholder Representative may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Purchasers and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a successor Noteholder Representative, subject to approval by the Borrowers provided that no Event of Default shall exist at such time. If no successor Noteholder Representative shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Noteholder Representative gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Noteholder Representative may, on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Noteholder Representative, subject to approval by the Borrowers.

(ii)            Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Noteholder Representative hereunder by a successor, such successor Noteholder Representative shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Noteholder Representative, and the retiring Noteholder Representative shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If, within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Noteholder Representative’s resignation under this Section 10.2, no successor Noteholder Representative shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45^th day (i) the retiring Noteholder Representative’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Noteholder Representative shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Purchasers shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Noteholder Representative under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor Noteholder Representative as provided above. After any retiring Noteholder Representative’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Noteholder Representative and its representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Noteholder Representative.

(i)            The Noteholder Representative May File Proofs of Claim.

(i)            In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Noteholder Representative (irrespective of whether the principal of any Note shall then be due and payable as expressed in the Loan Documents or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Noteholder Representative shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(A)           to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Purchasers and the Noteholder Representative (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Purchasers and the Noteholder Representative and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Purchasers and the Noteholder Representative under the Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(B)            to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

(ii) Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Purchaser to make such payments to the Noteholder Representative and, if the Noteholder Representative shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Purchasers, to pay to the Noteholder Representative any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Noteholder Representative and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Noteholder Representative under the Loan Documents.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Noteholder Representative to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Purchaser any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Purchaser or to authorize the Noteholder Representative to vote in respect of the claim of any Purchaser in any such proceeding.

(j)             Authorization to Execute Other Loan Documents. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Noteholder Representative to execute on behalf of all Purchasers all Loan Documents other than this Agreement.

(k)            Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Purchasers irrevocably authorize the Noteholder Representative, at its option and in its discretion:

(i)            to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Noteholder Representative under any Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.10;

(ii)           to enter into each Subordination Agreement, and perform all obligations thereunder, respectively, and to enter into any amendments of such Subordination Agreements which do not materially modify the rights of the Purchasers or the Noteholder Representative thereunder, and agree to be bound by the terms thereof; and

(iii)          to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Security Agreements and Guarantees if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

(l)             Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers, the Noteholder Representative and each Purchaser hereby agree that (i) no Purchaser shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Security Agreements and Guarantees, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the Security Agreements and Guarantees may be exercised solely by the Noteholder Representative, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Noteholder Representative on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Noteholder Representative or any Purchaser may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Noteholder Representative, as agent for and representative of the Purchasers (but not any Purchaser or Purchasers in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Purchasers shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Noteholder Representative at such sale or other disposition.

Any waiver or amendment effected in accordance with this Section will be binding upon each party to this Agreement and each holder of a Note purchased under this Agreement then outstanding and each future holder of all such Notes. The right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense to any demands hereunder is hereby waived to the full extent permitted by law.

10.11 Effect of Amendment or Waiver. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, by the operation of Section 10.11 hereof, the Noteholder Representative will have the right and power to diminish or eliminate all rights of such Purchaser under this Agreement and each Note issued to such Purchaser, provided that such changes shall apply equally to all Purchasers.

10.12 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provisions will be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement will be interpreted as if such provisions were so excluded and this Agreement will be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

10.13 Federal Cannabis Laws. The parties acknowledge that as of the date hereof, the production, sale, possession and use of cannabis are illegal under the Controlled Substances Act, 21 USC 801 et seq., as it applies to marijuana (“CSA”) and that cannabis is currently classified as a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA. The United States Supreme Court has confirmed that the federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, including for medical purposes, and that federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use. The parties hereto understand that while cannabis production is currently legal under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and certain other states, they are subject to change and that the production, sale, use and possession of cannabis may remain illegal under federal law for the foreseeable future.

10.14 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, each Purchaser covenants that the Notes may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Notes other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Parent or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 following the applicable holding period, the Parent may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Parent an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Parent, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Parent, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Notes under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth above, no such restriction shall apply to a transfer by a Purchaser that is (A) a partnership transferring to its partners or former partners in accordance with partnership interests, (B) a corporation transferring to a wholly-owned subsidiary or a parent corporation that owns all of the capital stock of the Purchaser, (C) a limited liability company transferring to its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company, or (D) an individual transferring to the Purchaser’s spouse, children or grandchildren or a trust for the exclusive benefit of an individual Purchaser; provided that in each case the transferee will agree in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Legends. Certificates evidencing the Notes shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form, until such time as they are not required as set forth in this Agreement: THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAW OF ANY FOREIGN JURISDICTION OR ANY STATE WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR SUCH FOREIGN OR STATE SECURITIES LAW OR UNLESS THE PARENT HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE PARENT AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

(c) Removal of Legends. The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Parent shall issue a certificate without such legend or any other “restrictive” legend to the holder of the applicable Notes upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), if (i) such Notes are registered for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) such Notes are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Parent), or (iii) such Notes are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without any limits or restrictions provided in Rule 144. If any portion of the Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without any limits or restrictions provided in Rule 144, then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends.

(d) Canadian Legends. The Notes, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall have attached to them, whether through an electronic book-based system or on certificates that may be issued to evidence such securities, as applicable, a legend setting out resale restrictions under applicable securities laws substantially in the following form (and with the necessary information inserted):

“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE DATE OF THE CLOSING”.

(e) Acknowledgement. Each Purchaser hereunder acknowledges (i) that the Parent’s agreement hereunder to remove any legends from the Notes or the Warrant Shares is not an affirmative statement or representation that such Notes or the Warrant Shares are freely tradable and (ii) its primary responsibilities under the Securities Act and accordingly will not sell the Notes, the Warrant Shares or any interest therein without complying with the requirements of the Securities Act.

10.15 Exculpation among Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm, corporation or stockholder, other than the Borrowers and their respective officers and directors in their capacities as such, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Borrowers. Each Purchaser agrees that no other Purchaser, nor the controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, stockholders or employees of any other Purchaser, will be liable for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or not taken by any of them in connection with the purchase and sale of the Notes.

10.16 Survival. This Agreement, amongst other things, sets out obligations of the Loan Parties in addition to any obligations that may be set out in the Notes or other Loan Documents from time to time. Such obligations are not superseded or replaced by the Notes or any amendment to the Notes, and all obligations set out in this Agreement are intended to survive the entering into of the Notes.

10.17 Further Assurances. From time to time, the parties will execute and deliver such additional documents and will provide such additional information as may reasonably be required to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Notes and any agreements executed in connection herewith or therewith.

10.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

10.19 Confidentiality. Purchasers and Noteholder Representative shall hold all nonpublic information regarding the Borrowers or the Parent obtained by Purchasers and Noteholder Representative pursuant hereto in accordance with Purchasers’ or Noteholder Representative’s, as applicable, customary procedures for handling information of such nature, except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to Purchasers’ and Noteholder Representative’s agents, employees, subsidiaries, Affiliates, attorneys, auditors, professional consultants, rating agencies, insurance industry associations and portfolio management services, (ii) by Purchasers or Noteholder Representative as required by law, subpoena, judicial order or similar order and in connection with any litigation, investigation or proceeding, and (iii) by Purchasers or Noteholder Representative as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of such Person. The obligations of Purchasers under this Section shall supersede and replace the obligations of Purchasers under any confidentiality agreement in respect of this transaction executed and delivered by Purchasers prior to the date hereof. For greater certainty and notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Purchasers and the Noteholder Representative may freely share information regarding the Borrowers or the Parent or any Subsidiary among each other.
