3.2Representations and Warranties of ABG. ABG hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company:

(a)Organization; Authority. ABG is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation with full right, limited liability company power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of ABG. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed by ABG, and when delivered by ABG in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of ABG, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(b)No Conflicts.

(c)Own Account. ABG understands that the shares of Class 2 Common Stock sold pursuant to this Agreement are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the shares of Class 2 Common Stock as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Class 2 Common Stock or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Class 2 Common Stock in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or

understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Class 2 Common Stock in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting ABG’s right to sell the Class 2 Common Stock in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).

(d)Purchaser Status. At the time ABG was offered the Class 2 Common Stock, it was, and as of the date hereof it is either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

(e)Experience of Purchaser. ABG, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Class 2 Common Stock, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. ABG is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Class 2 Common Stock and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

ABG understands that the shares of Class 2 Common Stock are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in significant part upon the truth and accuracy of, and ABG’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of ABG set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of ABG to acquire the shares of Class 2 Common Stock.

(h)Compliance with Laws Pertaining to Cannabis. Neither ABG nor, to ABG’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of ABG is currently, or in the past twelve (12) months has been, in violation of any laws pertaining to cannabis, including but not limited to any state or federal laws of the United States.

reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement other than Article II and shall have the rights and obligations of ABG under this Agreement other than Article II.

(b)ABG agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Class 2 Common Stock in the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At ABG’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Class 2 Common Stock may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

(c)Instruments, whether certificated or uncertificated, evidencing the Class 2 Common Stock shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Class 2 Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such shares of Class 2 Common Stock are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Class 2 Common Stock and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission).
