WARRANT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 4.07
This Warrant Settlement Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated June 27, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between St. Xxxxxx Investments LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Investor”), and Mountain High Acquisitions Corp., a Colorado corporation (“Company”). Investor and Company are sometimes individually referred to hereinafter as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Warrant (as defined below).
A. On June 30, 2017, Company issued to Investor that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”).
B. The Warrant was issued pursuant to that certain Securities Agreement dated June 30, 2017 between Company and Investor (the “Purchase Agreement”).
C. Upon Company’s request, Investor has agreed to settle the Warrant on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Settlement. Investor agrees to accept the Shares (as defined below) as full payment for and satisfaction of the Warrant.
2. Warrant Exercise. Together with its execution of this Agreement, Investor has delivered to Company a Notice of Exercise pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”). By its execution below, Company acknowledges its receipt of the Notice of Exercise as of the date of this Agreement. Pursuant to the Notice of Exercise, Company is required, and hereby agrees, to issue to Investor 6,000,000 Delivery Shares in accordance with and in the manner and within the timeframes prescribed in Section 2.1 of the Warrant (the “Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt, in order for the Shares to be deemed to have been delivered to Investor, (a) the Shares or certificate(s) representing the Shares must have been cleared and approved for public resale by the compliance departments of Investor’s brokerage firm and the clearing firm servicing such brokerage, and (b) the Shares must be held in the name of the clearing firm servicing Investor’s brokerage firm and must have been deposited into such clearing firm’s account for the benefit of Investor.
3. No Additional Exercises. Provided Company delivers the Shares to Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, from the date hereof until the date on which all of the Shares have been received by Investor, Investor agrees that, other than with respect to Shares issued pursuant to the Notice of Exercise, it will not exercise all or any portion of the Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company fails to deliver any Shares as and when required pursuant to Section 2 above, Investor shall thereafter be free to exercise the Warrant in accordance with the terms thereof, without any restrictions other than as set forth therein. Nothing herein shall be deemed to alter, amend or modify the Warrant except as expressly provided for herein. Further, Investor expressly reserves all rights under the Warrant except as provided for herein.
4. Return of Warrant. Upon Investor’s receipt of the Shares pursuant to Section 2 above, Investor covenants and agrees to return the original Warrant to Company for cancellation, or, if the original Warrant is not available, upon request, Investor will execute a lost warrant affidavit in a form acceptable to Investor certifying to Company that the Warrant has been lost, stolen, or destroyed.
5. Mutual Release. Upon Investor’s receipt of the Shares: (a) Investor shall release and discharge Company from all known and unknown charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts, penalties, fees, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred), and punitive damages, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, which Investor has, or may have had, against Company, whether or not apparent or yet to be discovered, or which may hereafter develop, for any acts or omissions in connection with the Warrant; and (b) Company shall release and discharge Investor from all known and unknown charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts, penalties, fees, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred), and punitive damages, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, which Company has, or may have had, against Investor, whether or not apparent or yet to be discovered, or which may hereafter develop, for any acts or omissions in connection with the Warrant.
6. Failure to Comply. Should Company fail to comply with any of the conditions set forth herein, including without limitation failing to deliver the Shares as and when required hereunder, Investor’s release of claims set forth in Section 5 above and all other waivers given herein shall immediately and automatically be deemed withdrawn, Investor shall have no obligation to return the original Warrant to Company for cancellation, and Investor shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or as otherwise set forth in the Warrant, including without limitation continuing to exercise the Warrant until it has been exercised in full in accordance with its terms.
