RECITALS
WHEREAS, Raw Pharma, LLC and Rocky Mountain Productions, Inc. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2020 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Raw Pharma, LLC agreed to sell and convey, and Rocky Mountain Productions, Inc. agreed to purchase, certain Acquired Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) as of April 30, 2020;
WHEREAS, the Asset Purchase Agreement provided for Raw Pharma to assign its sublease agreement to Rocky Mountain but unfortunately, and through no fault of either Party, the landlord has not only refused to consent to such assignment but has threatened to evict Rocky Mountain from the leased premises, and that uncertainty, together with other issues relating with and to the Asset Purchase Agreement, has resulted in the Parties having to renegotiate the Asset Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are set forth herein;
WHEREAS, Rocky Mountain has engaged a leasing broker and is actively seeking out new production facilities, although Rocky Mountain continues to reach out to the landlord to potentially remain in the leased premises in some capacity, at this time, and even if the landlord allows Rocky Mountain to remain in the leased premises, the landlord is currently opposed to Rocky Mountain using the leased premises for the production or distribution of any drinks or products containing hemp or CBD, which substantially impacts Rocky Mountain and the Asset Purchase Agreement and there are no assurances that Rocky Mountain can give to Raw Pharma that it can or will remain in the leased premises or a portion thereof in any capacity;
WHEREAS, the Parties allege to have mutual claims against the other arising from or related to the Asset Purchase Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Parties now desire to avoid the substantial expense and cost of a formal legal proceeding over their respective rights and obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement and desire to fully settle and forever release all claims they may have against each other and to amend the Asset Purchase Agreement to reflect the current situation of the Parties; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to document the respective terms and conditions of the Agreement.
