(a)            Closing Payment. On the Closing Date, Assignee shall pay One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000) to Assignor.

(b)            [***]

1.5            Security.

(a)            To secure the full and punctual payment of the Purchase Price and Assignee’s indemnification obligations hereunder, the Assignee hereby grants the Assignor a continuing security interest in all of the Assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under (i) the Liquidation Proceeds; (ii) any payment or repayment of the obligations outstanding under the Loan Agreement; and (iii) the proceeds and products of subsections (i) and (ii) hereof to secure prompt payment and performance of the Purchase Price (collectively, the “Liquidation Collateral”). This Agreement constitutes a security agreement under the uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction and Assignor is entitled to all of the rights and remedies of a secured party thereunder. Furthermore, the Assignee shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of the Assignor, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the Liquidation Collateral, or permit any encumbrance to attach thereto or to be made thereon. The Assignee shall maintain the security interest created by this Section 1.5 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of the Assignor in and to the Liquidation Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons whomsoever. The security interest created hereby shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Purchase Price and any Accrued Interest. Upon payment in full of the Purchase Price and any Accrued Interest, if any, this security interest shall terminate and the Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to Assignee or its designee such instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by the Assignee to evidence such termination, and hereby authorizes the Assignee or its designee to take such actions as may be necessary to file or record such instruments or documents evidencing termination of the security interest in the appropriate public records. In the event Assignee obtains any third party secured financing, Assignor shall reasonably consider subordinating the security interest in the Liquidation Collateral created herby to the security interest of any such third party financing source, but is under no obligation to do so. Assignee acknowledges and agrees that it shall be obligated to repay any such third party financing with its own funds, and any such indebtedness shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the Purchase Price payable to Assignor pursuant to Section 1.4.

(b)            The Assignee authorizes the Assignor to file any financing statement or statements required by Assignor to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein in connection with the Liquidation Collateral. The Assignee agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Assignee, the Assignee will promptly and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Assignor may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Assignor to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

1.6            As of the Closing Date, (a) the Assignee shall be a party to the Loan Agreement, and have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and under the other Financing Agreements; and (b) Assignor shall relinquish its rights and shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.

4.4            Confidential Information. Each Party receiving Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) agrees (i) to observe complete confidentiality with respect to all Confidential Information; (ii) not to disclose, or permit any access to, the Confidential Information (or any portion thereof), except to or by any representative of such Receiving Party having a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of performing such Receiving Party’s obligations or enforcing the Disclosing Party’s obligations under this Agreement, without prior written permission of the Party disclosing such Confidential Information (the “Disclosing Party”), and (iii) not to use the Confidential Information except as required to perform such Receiving Party’s obligations or to enforce the Disclosing Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Receiving Party is required to disclose the Confidential Information pursuant to law or governmental or judicial process, it may do so provided that (a) to the extent legally permitted, it first provides prompt written notice to the Disclosing Party in order that the Disclosing Party may have every opportunity to intercede in such process, contest such disclosure or obtain special treatment under an appropriate protective order, (b) the Receiving Party provides reasonable assistance to Disclosing Party in its efforts pursuant to subclause (a) above, and (c) the Receiving Party’s disclosure of the Confidential Information pursuant to this sentence is limited to information specifically required, in both content and manner, by such law or governmental or judicial process. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Assignee may use and disclose Confidential Information as reasonably necessary in connection with (i) any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving claims related to the rights or duties of the parties under the Loan Agreement or the other Financing Agreements; and (ii) the exercise of any secured creditor remedy, including without limitation, any foreclosure, receivership, or secured party sale, under the Loan Agreement or under any other Financing Agreement’ provided, however, that prior to such use of the Confidential Information, Assignee provides as much prior written notice to Assignor as is possible under the then-existing circumstances.

For purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means all information concerning Ermont under the Loan Agreement, provided that Confidential Information shall not include: (i) such information that at the time of disclosure has been generally known to the public through no fault of Assignor or its representatives or after disclosure becomes generally known to the public through no fault of Assignee, Assignor or their representatives, (ii) such information that as shown by written records was prior to disclosure in possession of the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis, (iii) such information that is rightfully received by the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from third parties who were entitled to receive and transfer such Confidential Information, or (iv) information as to which counsel advises that disclosure is compelled under applicable Law.

Assignee agrees to act in good faith, will refrain from taking any action deliberately intended to diminish the value of the Liquidation Proceeds, and will act in a commercially reasonable manner to maximize the Liquidation Proceeds; provided, however, that nothing herein will be construed to require the operations of the Assignee to be conducted in any particular manner after the Closing or prevent or otherwise restrict the Assignee from conducting its operations in a commercially reasonable manner or fulfilling its fiduciary obligations to its equity holders.

4.6            Audit Rights. Upon reasonable prior written notice from the Assignor, the Assignor may, at its own expense and not more frequently than twice per calendar year examine or cause to be examined by an agent of the Assignor, the books of account of the Assignee solely to the extent they relate to the calculation of payments of the Purchase Price to the Assignor hereunder.  If, as a result of such an audit, it is determined that there has been an underpayment of amounts due to the Assignor hereunder, the Assignee shall immediately pay to the Assignor an amount equal to the resulting underpayment.  If the resulting underpayment is greater than three percent (3%) of the correct amount due hereunder, the Assignee shall immediately reimburse the Assignor for the cost of the audit.

4.7            Assignor and Assignee each hereby agree to execute such other instruments as any other party hereto may reasonably request in connection with the delivery of any notices or other additional instruments which are necessary to evidence the assignment and assumption contemplated hereby, including the execution and/or delivery by Assignor to Assignee of UCC-3 assignments and such other assignment agreements and/or instruments as are necessary to effectuate the assignment of Collateral and the Financing Agreements from Assignor to Assignee. Any such actions by Assignor after the date hereof shall be at the sole cost and expense of Assignee. On the date hereof, Assignor hereby authorizes Assignee or its designee to file or record the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or amendments, as applicable, attached hereto as Exhibit B in order to reflect the assignment of record to Assignee of the Loan Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and the Assigned Interests.

4.8            Assignment of Management Agreement. Reference is made to that certain Services Agreement by and between Ermont and Zolly, LLC, dated as of December 20, 2015 (the “Services Agreement”), which was later assigned from Zolly, LLC to Cultivo LLC on May 31, 2018 . If Assignee notifies Assignor within sixty (60) business day of the Closing Date that Assignee elects to assume the Services Agreement through an acquisition of Cultivo, both the Assignor and the Assignee shall take all actions required to effect a transfer or assignment to the Assignee of the equity interests in Cultivo for no additional consideration and on an as-is where-is basis.
