4 |
4.2 Exercise of Optional Conversion Right
The Optional Conversion Right may be exercised by the Purchaser by completing and signing a notice of conversion in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Purchaser (the “Optional Conversion Notice”) and delivering the Optional Conversion Notice and this Note to the Borrowers. The Optional Conversion Notice shall provide that the Optional Conversion Right is being exercised, shall specify the amount being converted, and shall set out the date (the “Optional Conversion Issue Date”) on which Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of the Optional Conversion Right (such date to be no earlier than five (5) Business Days and no later than ten (10) Business Days after the day on which the Optional Conversion Notice is delivered to the Borrowers). The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Optional Conversion Issue Date and the Shares issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to be issued as fully paid and non-assessable at such time. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Optional Conversion Issue Date, a certificate or other evidence of ownership for the required number of Shares shall be issued to the Purchaser. If less than all of the Principal Amount of this Note is the subject of the Optional Conversion Right, then within ten (10) Business Days after the Optional Conversion Issue Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Purchaser a replacement Note in the form hereof in the principal amount of the unconverted principal balance hereof and any unconverted portion of any accrued and unpaid Interest and fees, and this Note shall be cancelled. If the Optional Conversion Right is being exercised in respect of the entire Principal Amount of this Note (and, if applicable, all accrued and unpaid Interest and fees), this Note shall be cancelled.
4.3 Accelerated Conversion Right
| (a) | If the volume weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (or such other recognized stock exchange or quotation on which the Shares are listed or quoted for trading) (the “Exchange”) for twenty (20) consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $6.20 per Share (the “Forced Conversion Price”), the Borrowers shall thereafter have the right (the “Accelerated Conversion Right”) to require the Holder to convert up to seventy five percent (75%) of the Principal Amount then outstanding under this Note, plus, at the Holder’s option, all accrued and unpaid Interest and fees (the “Accelerated Conversion”), in exchange for Shares at the Forced Conversion Price. |
|
|
|
| (b) | If the Accelerated Conversion Right is exercised in accordance with Section 4.4 and results in the conversion to Shares of seventy five (75%) of the then-outstanding principal amount under all of the Notes in the aggregate, then the term of this Note shall be extended such that the “Maturity Date” shall thereafter be the later of (i) the Initial Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, and (ii) the one year anniversary of the Accelerated Conversion Issue Date (as hereinafter defined), provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Operative Documents, the Maturity Date shall be no later than the four (4) year anniversary of the Closing Date. |
5 |
4.4 Exercise of Accelerated Conversion Right
The Accelerated Conversion Right may be exercised by the Borrowers by completing and signing a notice of conversion in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Holders (the “Accelerated Conversion Notice”) and delivering the Accelerated Conversion Notice to the Purchaser. The Accelerated Conversion Notice shall provide that the Accelerated Conversion Right is being exercised, shall specify the amount being converted, and shall set out the date (the “Accelerated Conversion Issue Date”) on which Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of the Accelerated Conversion Right (such date to be no earlier than thirty (30) days after the day on which the Accelerated Conversion Notice is issued). The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Accelerated Conversion Issue Date and the Shares issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to be issued as fully paid and non-assessable at such time. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Accelerated Conversion Issue Date, a certificate or other evidence of ownership for the required number of Shares shall be issued to the Purchaser. In addition, within ten (10) Business Days after the Accelerated Conversion Issue Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Purchaser a replacement Note in the form hereof in the principal amount of the unconverted principal balance hereof and any unconverted portion of any accrued and unpaid Interest and fees, and this Note shall be cancelled.
4.5 Adjustment of Conversion Price
The Optional Conversion Price or Forced Conversion Price, as applicable (each of which is referred to in this Section 4.5 as the “Conversion Price”), in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
| (a) | If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company shall: |
| (i) | subdivide or redivide the outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares; |
|
|
|
| (ii) | reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares; |
|
|
|
| (iii) | issue Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Shares by way of stock dividend; or |
|
|
|
| (iv) | make a distribution on its outstanding Shares payable in Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares, |
|
|
|
| the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such issue of Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) by way of a stock dividend or other distribution, as the case may be, shall, in the case of the events referred to in Sections 4.5(a)(i), (iii) and (iv) above, be decreased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision or dividend (including, in the case where securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares are issued, the number of Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been converted into or exchanged for Shares on such effective or record date) or shall, in the case of the events referred to in Section 4.5(a)(ii) above, be increased in proportion to the decrease in the number of outstanding Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation on such effective or record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.5(a) shall occur. Any such issue of Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) by way of a stock dividend or other distribution shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the stock dividend or other distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Shares under Sections 4.5(b) and (g); to the extent that any such securities are not converted into or exchanged for Shares prior to the expiration of the conversion or exchange right, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted effective as at the date of such expiration to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Shares actually issued on the exercise of such conversion or exchange right. |

| (b) | as the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) (such subscription price per Share (inclusive of any cost of acquisition of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares in addition to any direct cost of Shares) being referred to in this Section 4.5(b) as the “Per Share Cost”), the Borrowers shall give written notice to the Purchaser with respect thereto (any of such events herein referred to as a “Rights Offering”), and the Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice (but prior to the Maturity Date or the date fixed for redemption of this Note) to elect to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Note. If the Purchaser validly elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note, such conversion shall occur immediately prior to the record date for the issuance of such rights, options or warrants. If the Purchaser elects not to convert any of the Principal Amount of this Note, there shall continue to be an adjustment to the Conversion Price as a result of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants, in the manner hereinafter provided. The Conversion Price will be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction: |
| (i) | the numerator of which is the aggregate of: |
| (A) | the number of Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and |
|
|
|
| (B) | the number determined by dividing the product of the Per Share Cost and: |
| 1. | where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.5(b) was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase additional Shares, the number of Shares so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period, or |
7 |
| 2. | where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.5(b) was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares, the number of Shares for which those securities so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period could have been exchanged or into which they could have been converted during the Rights Period, |
|
|
|
| by the trading price of the Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (or such other recognized stock exchange or quotation on which the Shares are listed for trading) (the “Current Market Price”) as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and |
| (ii) | the denominator of which is: |
| (A) | in the case described in subparagraph 4.5(b)(i)(B)(1), the number of Shares outstanding, or |
|
|
|
| (B) | in the case described in subparagraph 4.5(b)(i)(B)(2), the number of Shares that would be outstanding if all the Shares described in subparagraph 4.5(b)(i)(B)(2) had been issued, as at the end of the Rights Period. |
| (c) | Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary (as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. |
|
|
|
| (d) | If by the terms of the rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 4.5(b), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered, will be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of: |
| (1) | the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Share, as the case may be, if such price is applicable to all Shares which are subject to the rights, options or warrants, and |
|
|
|
| (2) | the average purchase, conversion or exchange price per Share, as the case may be, if the applicable price is determined by reference to the number of Shares acquired. |
| (e) | To the extent that any adjustment in the Conversion Price occurs pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 4.5(b), the Conversion Price will be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiration, and will be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right. |
8 |
| (f) | [Intentionally Omitted]. |
|
|
|
| (g) | If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Shares (or other than securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares), or (ii) rights, options or warrants (other than rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 4.5(b)), or (iii) evidences of its indebtedness, or (iv) assets (in each case, other than dividends paid in the ordinary course) then, in each such case, the Borrowers shall give written notice to the Purchaser with respect thereto, and the Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to elect to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note into Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Note. If the Purchaser elects to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Note, such conversion shall occur immediately prior to the record date for the making of such distribution. If the Purchaser elects not to convert any of the Principal Amount of this Note, there shall continue to be an adjustment to the Conversion Price as a result of the making of such distribution (herein referred to as a “Special Distribution”), determined in the manner hereafter set out in Section 4.5(h). In this Section 4.5(g) the term “dividends paid in the ordinary course” shall include the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of cash dividends paid in the ordinary course at the option of shareholders. |
|
|
|
| (h) | In circumstances described in Section 4.5(g), the Conversion Price will be adjusted effective immediately after such record date to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction: |
| (1) | the numerator of which is: |
| (A) | the product of the number of Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Shares on such record date; less |
|
|
|
| (B) | the aggregate fair market value (as determined by action by the directors of the Company, acting reasonably) to the holders of the Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and |
| (2) | the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Shares on such record date. |
| Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary (as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. |
9 |
| (i) | [Intentionally Omitted] |
|
|
|
| (j) | In the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Shares (other than a change referred to in Section 4.5(a), Section 4.5(b), or Section 4.5(g) or hereof), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors of the Company determines to be appropriate on a basis consistent with the intent of this Section 4.5(b); provided that if at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in this Section 4.5(j), such dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Borrowers or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action by the directors of the Company, acting reasonably, and any such determination will be binding on the Borrowers and the Purchaser. |
|
|
|
| (k) | The Borrowers will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Borrowers. If and whenever at any time after the date hereof there is a reclassification or redesignation of the Shares outstanding at any time or change of the Shares into other shares or into other securities (other than as set out in Section 4.5(a), (b), (g) or (i)), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or redesignation of the outstanding Shares or a change of the Shares into other shares and other than as set forth in 4.5(i) or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Purchaser, upon the exercising of the Optional Conversion Right, after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, will be entitled to receive in lieu of the number of Shares to which the Purchaser was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property, if any, which the Purchaser would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Purchaser had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which such Purchaser was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Optional Conversion Right. If determined appropriate by action of the directors of the Company, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.5(b) with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Purchaser to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4.5(b) will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Optional Conversion Right. Any such adjustment must be made by and set forth in an amendment to this Note approved by action by the directors of the Company, acting reasonably, and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment. |
|
|
|
| (l) | In any case in which this Section 4.5(b) shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Purchaser before the occurrence of such event, the additional Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall deliver to the Purchaser an appropriate instrument evidencing the Purchaser’s right to receive such additional Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Shares declared in favour of holders of record of Shares on and after the Issue Date or such later date as the Purchaser would, but for the provisions of this Section 4.5(l), have become the holder of such additional Shares pursuant to Section 4.5(b). |
10 |
| (m) | The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.5(b) are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other event resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 4.5(m) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. |
No Conversion Price adjustment will be made to the extent that the Company makes an equivalent distribution to holders of Notes in respect of such Notes. No adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made for distributions or dividends on Shares issuable upon conversion of Notes that have been surrendered for conversion, provided that holders converting their Notes shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the applicable number of Shares, accrued and unpaid interest payable in cash from, and including, the most recent interest payment date to, but excluding, the date of conversion.
4.6 Legend; Transfer Restrictions
| (a) | Any certificates or other evidence of ownership representing Shares issued upon conversion of this Note prior to the date that is four months and one day after the date of issue of this Note, and all certificates or other evidence of ownership issued in exchange or in substitution thereof shall bear the following legend: |
“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE [●] [INSERT THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE DISTRIBUTION DATE OF THE NOTE].”
|
| provided that at any time subsequent to the date which is four months after the date of issue of this Note, any certificate or other evidence of ownership representing any such Shares may be respectively exchanged for a certificate or other evidence bearing no such legend. |
|
|
|
| (b) | The Note and the Shares to be issued upon conversion of this Note have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state of the United States. “United States” and “U.S. person” are as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. |
11 |
| (c) | Any Shares issued upon conversion of Note in the United States, or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person or a person in the United States, will be “restricted securities”, as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act. The certificates or DRS statements representing such Shares, as well as all certificates or DRS statements issued in exchange or in substitution therefor, until such time as is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, will bear, on the face of such certificate or DRS statement, the following legends: |
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY; (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT; (C) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS; OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, IN THE CASE OF PARAGRAPH (C) OR (D), THE SELLER FURNISHES TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT.
THE PRESENCE OF THIS LEGEND MAY IMPAIR THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER HEREOF TO EFFECT “GOOD DELIVERY” OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ON A CANADIAN STOCK EXCHANGE.”
provided, that if the Shares are being sold outside the United States in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act (“Regulation S”) and such Shares were acquired at a time when the Company is a “foreign issuer” as defined in Regulation S, the legends set forth above in this Section 4.6(c) may be removed by providing a declaration to the registrar and transfer agent of the Company, as set forth in Appendix “A” attached hereto (or in such other form as the Company may prescribe from time to time); and provided, further, that, if the Shares are being sold otherwise than in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S and other than to the Company, the legends may be removed by delivery to the registrar and transfer agent and the Company of an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such legends are no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws.
12 |
| (d) | Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, no Shares will be issued pursuant to the conversion of any Note if the issuance of such securities would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction, and the certificates or DRS statements evidencing the Shares thereby issued may bear such legend as may, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, be necessary in order to avoid a violation of any securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction or to comply with the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Shares of the Company are listed, provided that, at any time, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, such legends are no longer necessary in order to avoid a violation of any such laws, or the holder of any such legended certificate or DRS statement, at that holder’s expense, provides the Company with evidence reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company (which may include an opinion of legal counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that such holder is entitled to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares in a transaction in which such legends are not required, such legended certificate or DRS statement may thereafter be surrendered to the Company in exchange for a certificate or DRS statement which does not bear such legend. |

Such prepayment will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Applicable Premium shall not apply (or shall be deemed to be zero percent (0%)) with respect to prepayments made in connection with prepayments permitted under Section 4.2(h) or Section 8.3(j) of the Purchase Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof).

APPENDIX “A”
FORM OF DECLARATION FOR REMOVAL OF LEGEND
TO: Registrar and transfer agent for the shares of MedMen Enterprises Inc. (the “Issuer”)
The undersigned (A) acknowledges that the sale of the_______________Class B Subordinate Voting Share in the capital of the Issuer represented by certificate number , to which this declaration relates, is being made in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), and (B) certifies that (1) the undersigned is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act) of the Issuer (except solely by virtue of being an officer or director of the Issuer) or a “distributor”, as defined in Regulation S, or an affiliate of a “distributor”; (2) the offer of such securities was not made to a person in the United States and either (a) at the time the buy order was originated, the buyer was outside the United States, or the seller and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believe that the buyer was outside the United States, or (b) the transaction was executed on or through the facilities of a designated offshore securities market within the meaning of Rule 902(b) of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States; (3) neither the seller nor any affiliate of the seller nor any person acting on their behalf has engaged in any directed selling efforts in connection with the offer and sale of such securities; (4) the sale is bona fide and not for the purpose of “washing off” the resale restrictions imposed because the securities are “restricted securities” (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act); (5) the seller does not intend to replace the securities sold in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act with fungible unrestricted securities; and (6) the contemplated sale is not a transaction, or part of a series of transactions which, although in technical compliance with Regulation S, is part of a plan or a scheme to evade the registration provisions of the U.S. Securities Act.
