FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Planet 13 Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Maker”), promises to pay to ___________ (“Payee”) the principal sum of ___________ Dollars ($___________), lawful money of the United States of America, together with interest accrued thereon, at the rate and on the terms hereinafter set forth.
Maker and Payee are parties to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of August 28, 2023, among them and certain other parties (the “Purchase Agreement”). This Promissory Note (this “Note”) is one of the Seller Notes referred to in the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
1. Payment of Interest and Principal.
(a) Interest Rate. Interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note from time to time outstanding shall accrue at a rate equal to 5% per annum, computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(b) Payment of Principal and Interest. The entire unpaid principal amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on April 1, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”).
(c) Prepayment. Maker shall have the right to prepay at any time and from time to time, without penalty or premium, all or any portion of the outstanding principal of this Note prior to the Maturity Date. All prepayments shall be applied first to accrued interest and second to unpaid principal.
(d) Place of Payment. Maker shall make all payments to Payee at the address of Payee as set forth in Section 8 hereof or to such other place as Payee, from time to time, shall designate in writing to Maker.
2. Events of Default; Remedies.
(a) Events of Default. The following shall constitute events of default (“Events of Default”):
(i) Maker fails to pay when due any principal or interest due hereunder and shall not have remedied such failure after 5 business days’ written notice thereof to Maker; provided, however, if Maker asserts, in good faith, a right to offset all or a portion of such payment when due in accordance with Section 4, such payment or portion thereof shall not be deemed to be due until either Maker and Payee agree as to the amount of any such offset or the amount of any such offset is determined as provided in Section 4 hereof.
(ii) The occurrence of any of the following events with respect to Maker: (A) the making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for all or any substantial portion of Maker’s assets; or (C) the commencement of proceedings in bankruptcy or any other proceedings for arrangement or reorganization of Maker’s debts under any state or federal law, whether instituted by or against it (provided, however, if proceedings are commenced against Maker, there shall be not an Event of Default unless Maker shall have failed to obtain dismissal of the proceedings within 90 days of their commencement).
(b) Remedies. After the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, subject to Section 3 hereof, Payee shall have the right, by written notice to Maker, to declare the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note together with all accrued but unpaid interest immediately due and payable. Maker hereby waives presentment, protest, demand, notice of dishonor and all other requirements of any kind. Payee’s failure to exercise any right or remedy under this Note or acceptance of partial or delinquent payments, shall not be a waiver of any obligation of Maker or right of Payee, or constitute Payee’s waiver of any other default subsequently occurring. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Note, and any accrued and unpaid interest and any other sums due hereunder shall bear interest at the rate of 15% (the “Default Rate”).
3. Rights Cumulative. The remedies of Payee as provided in this Note shall be cumulative and concurrent; may be pursued singly, successively or together at the sole discretion of Payee, and may be exercised as often as occasion for their exercise shall occur.
4. Right of Setoff; Disputes.
(a) Maker shall have the right to offset against any payments due under this Note to the extent provided in the Purchase Agreement. Any offset under this Note shall be first applied against accrued interest and then against principal.
(b) Any disputes between Maker and Payee regarding amounts that may be offset under this Note shall be settled in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 9.7 of the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, if the substance of such dispute has already been resolved under the Purchase Agreement, such resolution shall be binding on Maker and Payee.
5. Payments of Costs. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, in the event that Payee is the prevailing party in any action seeking to enforce its rights and remedies under this Note, Maker shall pay all reasonable costs of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by Xxxxx in collecting any amounts due and payable thereunder. In the event that Payee is the non-prevailing party in any action seeking to enforce its rights and remedies under this Note, Payee shall pay all reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by Maker in defending any such action.
6. Note Not Negotiable. This Note is non-negotiable, and Xxxxx shall not assign any rights hereunder without Maker’s prior written consent.
7. Controlling Law. This Note and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation or performance and enforcement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.
