PLEDGE AGREEMENT

[See attached]

Exhibit C

PLEDGE AGREEMENT

This Pledge Agreement dated as of October ____, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is made by Hightimes Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Pledgor”) in favor of Gemini Financial Corp., a California corporation (“Pledgee”).

BACKGROUND

A. Pledgor owns 100% of the presently issued and outstanding equity interests of Chalice Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

B. Pledgor and the Company are parties to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated of even date herewith (as the same has been and may be further amended, modified, restated or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company purchased from Pledgee certain assets formerly owned by Wisdom Apparatus and Chalice Festivals USA and acquired by Pledgee (the “Assets”), in consideration for which purchase the Pledgor and the Company issued to Pledgee the $560,000 Secured Convertible Note of Pledgor and the Company (the “Note”).

C. Pledgor is entering into this Agreement to, among other things, induce Pledgee to sell the Assets pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

D. Except for the assignment of the Assets pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has no other assets or liabilities.

E. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Note.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Pledgor and Pledgee agree as follows:

1. Pledge. Pledgor hereby pledges and grants to Pledgee a security interest in, the following (the “Pledged Collateral”):

(a) One thousand (1,000) share of the common stock, no par value, of the Company, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company and all of Pledgor’s equity interests and other interests in Company now owned or hereafter acquired by Pledgor (collectively, the “Pledged Interests)”, and the certificates, if any, representing those Pledged Interests, and all dividends, distributions, cash, securities, instruments, rights and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such Pledged Interests; and

(b) all other property hereafter delivered to Pledgee in substitution for, as proceeds of, or in addition to any of the Pledged Interests, all certificates, instruments and documents representing or evidencing such property, and all cash, securities, distributions rights and other property at any time and from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all thereof.

2. Security for Obligations. The Pledged Collateral secures the payment and performance of all obligations, now or hereafter existing under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the obligations of the Makers under the Note, including, without limitation, the obligation to issue the Mandatory Conversion Shares or shares of Common Stock of Pledgor pursuant to Section 3(a) of the Note or upon any optional conversion of the Note by the Holder pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Note (collectively the “Obligations)”.

3. Delivery of Pledged Interests. All certificates, instruments or documents, if any, representing or evidencing the Pledged Interests will be delivered to and held by or on behalf of Pledgee pursuant hereto and will be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, will be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, irrevocable proxies, all in form and substance satisfactory to Pledgee. In addition, Pledgee will have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

4. Representations and Warranties. Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:

(a) The Pledged Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, as applicable.

(b) Pledgor is, or at the time of any future delivery, pledge, assignment or transfer will be, the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral, free and clear of any lien, security interest, pledge, warrant, option, purchase agreement, shareholders’ agreement, restriction, redemption agreement or other charge, encumbrance or restriction of any nature on the Pledged Collateral, except for the lien created by this Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement and other Permitted Liens, with full right to deliver, pledge, assign and transfer the Pledged Collateral to Pledgee as Pledged Collateral hereunder.

(c) The pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid and first priority perfected security interest in the Pledged Collateral, securing the payment of the Obligations.

(d) No authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required either (i) for the pledge by Pledgor of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Pledgor, or (ii) for the exercise by Pledgee of the voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement (except as may be required in connection with a disposition of such shares by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally).

(e) Pledgor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and has the right to vote, pledge and grant a security interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided by this Agreement.

(f) (i) the Pledged Collateral constitutes a 100% ownership interest in Company on a fully diluted basis, (ii) the Company has not issued any non-voting equity interests or other interests, (iii) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, rights, warrants or other agreements or commitments pursuant to which Company is or might be obligated to issue or transfer any additional equity or other ownership interests, and (iv) all of the ownership interests in Company are owned solely by Pledgor.

(g) Except for its ownership of the Assets and engaging in the business formerly operated by Wisdom Apparatus and Chalice Festivals USA, the Company will not engage in any other trade or business.

5. Further Assistance. Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at its expense, Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all certificates, if any, representing the Pledged Interests, stock and/or other powers, proxies, assignments, instruments and documents; will take all steps necessary to properly register the transfer of the security interest hereunder on the books of Company of any uncertificated securities included in the Pledged Interests; and will take all further action that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Pledgee may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral and to carry out the provisions and purposes hereof.

6. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.

(a) (i) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor will be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Interests or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that Pledgor will not exercise nor will it refrain from exercising any such right if such action could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Pledged Collateral.

(ii) Pledgor will be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral as permitted under the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that, except as expressly provided in the Purchase Agreement, any and all:

(A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral;

(B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in-surplus; and

(C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, will be Pledged Collateral, and will be forthwith delivered to Pledgee to hold as Pledged Collateral and will, if received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, be segregated from the other property of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Pledgee as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(iii) Pledgor will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Pledgee all such proxies and other instruments as Pledgee may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Pledgee to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Note or under this Agreement and delivery by Pledgee of written notice to Pledgor of Pledgee’s intention to exercise any of its rights under this Agreement:

(i) All rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) and to receive the dividends and interest payments that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) will cease, and all such rights will thereupon become vested in Pledgee, which will thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends and interest payments; and

(ii) All dividends and interest payments that are received by Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 6(b) will be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, will be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and will be forthwith paid over to Pledgee as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

7. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Interests. Pledgor agrees that he will not (i) except as expressly provided in the Purchase Agreement, sell, assign, transfer, convey, exchange, pledge or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option, warrant, right, contract or commitment with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral without the prior written consent of Pledgee, or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest, pledge, proxy, purchase arrangement, restriction, redemption agreements, shareholders’ agreement or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for the lien created by this Agreement; provided, however, that upon issuance of the Mandatory Conversion Shares or payment of the Note, Pledgor shall assign this Agreement and Pledgee covenants and agrees to deliver the Pledged Collateral to ExWorks Capital Fund I, L.P. (“ExWorks”) as additional collateral under the Loan and Security Agreement among Pledgor and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as Borrowers, and ExWorks as Lender, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

8. Application of Proceeds of Sale or Cash Held as Collateral. The proceeds of sale of Pledged Collateral sold pursuant to this Agreement and/or the cash held as Pledged Collateral hereunder will be applied in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

9. Pledgee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Pledgor hereby appoints Pledgee as Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in Pledgee’s discretion, during the existence of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

10. Pledgee May Perform. During the existence of an Event of Default, if Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Pledgee may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable invoiced out-of-pocket expenses of Pledgee incurred in connection therewith will be secured by the Pledged Collateral and payable upon demand.

11. Reasonable Care. Pledgee will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Pledgee accords its own property, it being understood that Pledgee will have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not Pledgee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that upon Pledgor's instruction, Pledgee will use reasonable efforts to take such action as Pledgor directs Pledgee to take with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, rights against other parties or other similar matters relative to the Pledged Collateral, but failure of Pledgee to comply with any such request will not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure of Pledgee to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to preservation of the Pledged Collateral not so requested by Pledgor, will be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Pledged Collateral.

12. Events of Default; Remedies upon an Event of Default.

(a)

The following events shall be “Events of Default:”

(i)

The occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note;

(ii)

Any representation or warranty of Pledgor in this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made;

(iii)

Any representation, warranty or covenant of Pledgor and/or the Company in the Purchase Agreement and/or the Security Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; or

(iv)

Pledgor and/or the Company fails to comply with any term contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and/or the Purchase Agreement for five days after delivery to Pledgor and/or the Company of notice of such failure by or on behalf of Pledgee.

(b) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing beyond any stated grace or cure period, Pledgee will have, in addition to all other rights given by law or by this Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or otherwise, all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Pledged Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (or any other applicable jurisdiction) at that time. In addition, with respect to any Pledged Collateral that is or thereafter comes into the possession or custody of Pledgee, Pledgee may sell or cause the same to be sold at any broker’s board or at public or private sale, in one or more sales or lots, at such price or prices as Pledgee may reasonably deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk. Any sale of the Pledged Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, insurance companies, commercial finance companies, or other financial institutions disposing of property similar to the Pledged Collateral will be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Any requirements of notice will deemed to be a reasonable authenticated notice of disposition if given at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition and such notice will (i) describe Pledgor and Pledgee, (ii) describe the Pledged Collateral that is the subject of the intended disposition, (iii) state the method of intended disposition, (iv) state that Pledgor is entitled to an accounting of the Obligations and state the charge, if any, for an accounting, and (v) state the time and place of any public disposition or the time after which any private sale is to be made. Any other requirement of notice, demand or advertisement for sale is, to the extent permitted by law, waived. Pledgee may disclaim any warranties that might arise in connection with the sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral and Pledgee and Pledgor have no obligation to provide any warranties at such time. Pledgee may, in its own name or in the name of a designee or nominee, buy any of the Pledged Collateral at any public sale held in accordance with the foregoing provisions and, if permitted by applicable law, at any private sale. All reasonable invoiced out-of-pocket expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of, or incident to, the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof will be recoverable from the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral. In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Pledged Collateral may be effected after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Pledgor agrees that upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, Pledgee may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral by means of a private placement, restricting the prospective purchasers to those who can make the representations and agreements required of purchasers of securities in private placements. In so doing, Pledgee may solicit offers to buy the Pledged Collateral, or any part of it, for cash, from a limited number of investors deemed by Pledgee in its judgment, to be responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing the Pledged Collateral, and if Pledgee solicits such offers from not less than three (3) such investors, then the acceptance by Pledgee of the highest offer obtained therefrom will be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of the Pledged Collateral.

13. Authority of Pledgee. Pledgee will have and be entitled to exercise all such powers hereunder as are specifically delegated to Pledgee by this Agreement, together with such powers as are incidental thereto. Pledgee may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or employees. Neither Pledgee, nor any director, manager, officer, agent or employee of Pledgee, will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Pledgee and/or any such director, manager, officer, agent or employee from and against any and all liability incurred by any of them, hereunder or in connection herewith, unless such liability is due to its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

14. Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, express or implied, contained herein, this Agreement will automatically and without any further action on the part of Pledgor or Pledgee (other than as provided in Section 7 above and this Section 14) terminate when all the Obligations have been fully paid and performed and the Note has either been paid in full in cash or converted by its terms into Common Stock of Pledgor, at which time Pledgee will promptly reassign and redeliver (or cause to be reassigned and redelivered) to ExWorks, or to such person or persons as Pledgor will designate, all of the Pledged Collateral, together with appropriate instruments of reassignment and release.

15. Expenses. Pledgor agrees to reimburse Pledgee, on demand for any and all reasonable invoiced out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the registration of the Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Pledgee hereunder, or (iv) the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

16. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by Pledgor herefrom, will in any event be effective unless in writing and signed by Pledgee and Pledgor, and then such amendment, waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

17. Notices. Any notice required or desired to be served, given or delivered hereunder must be in writing (including facsimile transmission) in accordance with the terms of the Note.

18. Governing Law; Terms. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, terms defined in Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC are used herein as defined in the UCC. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but, if any provision of this Agreement is interpreted in such manner as to be ineffective or invalid under applicable law, such provisions will be ineffective or invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

19. Definitions and Interpretation.

(a) All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings given in the Purchase Agreement and the Note.

(b) The singular will include the plural and vice versa as the text will indicate. The word “will” is intended to have the same meaning as “shall” and means mandatory or obligatory and not permissive.

(c) The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and will not affect in any way the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

Background

WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, the Debtor, Hightimes Holding Corp. (“Hightimes”), Chalice Holdings, Inc., (“Pledgor” or “Debtor”) and the Secured Party are entering into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), wherein Debtor and Hightimes are purchasing the Assets (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) from the Secured Party and in exchange issuing to the Secured Party a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note,” and collectively with the Purchase Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and this Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”) in the amount of $560,000 (the “Transaction”).

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Secured Party to extend the loans evidenced by the Note, the Debtor has agreed to execute and deliver to the Secured Party this Security Agreement (this “Agreement”) and to grant the Secured Party a security interest in the Assets to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of Debtor’s and Hightimes’ obligations under the Note.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Debtor and the Secured Party hereby agree as follows:

1.	Debt. The Debtor owes the Secured Party the principal of $560,000.00, plus interest, as described in the Note (the “Debt”).

Grant of Security Interest. As security for the Debt and all the Debtor’s other obligations to the Secured Party under this Agreement, the Debtor gives the Secured Party a security interest in the Assets and all additions, and accessions thereto and all substitutions and replacements thereof, and all proceeds, products and accounts thereof, including all proceeds from sale or transfer, any all collections from any tort claims and all dividends, interest, cash, equity interest or other property at any time and from time to time acquired, receivable or distributed in respect of, or in exchange for the Assets (referred to as the “Collateral”). This means that if the Debtor and/or Hightimes does not pay the Debt or other obligation when due, the Collateral may be sold in order to pay the Debt and obligations. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Debtor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Secured Party evidence that the appropriate financing statements under the UCC and other necessary documents have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the security interest to create in favor of the Secured Party a valid, perfected and continuing perfected first priority lien in the Collateral. “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of California and or any other applicable law of any state or states which has jurisdiction with respect to all, or any portion of, the Collateral or this Agreement, from time to time.

Ownership. The Debtor guarantees that, following the consummation of the Transaction, it will own the Collateral and that no other person will have any interest in the Collateral or claim against the Collateral. The Debtor will not sell, mortgage, encumber, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of Secured Party, or permit anything to be done that may impair the value of any of the Collateral.

4.	Use. The Collateral is to be used:

5.	Taxes. The Debtor will promptly pay all taxes and other charges relating to the Collateral or its use.

Protection of Security Interest. Secured Party is authorized to file financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted and enacted in the state in which the Debtor is located or in which the Premises are located, as amended from time to time (the “Uniform Commercial Code”) and any other documents requested by Secured Party to effectively implement the purposes of this Agreement.

Performance by Secured Party. Secured Party may from time, at its option, perform any agreement or obligation of Debtor hereunder which Debtor fails to perform, and take any action which Secured Party deems necessary or appropriate for the maintenance or preservation of any of the Collateral or its security interest therein.

Any amounts incurred by Secured Party for costs and expenses (including without limitation attorney’s fees and expenses) in connection with any action taken by Secured Party to enforce its rights hereunder, shall, at Secured Party’s option, become part of the principal amount due under the Note and part of the Debt, and on demand by Secured Party, Debtor shall pay any such amount to Secured Party, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

8.	Inspection. The Secured Party may inspect the Collateral at all reasonable times and to make copies of records, pertaining to the Collateral.

9.	Representations and Warranties of Debtor.
