1. Transfer and Acceptance.

 

1.1 Transferred Collateral.

 

(a) At the applicable Effective Time, at the direction of the Agent (which shall be deemed to have been given hereunder automatically and immediately at the applicable Effective Time), subject to the satisfaction or waiver (in writing) of the conditions precedent to the applicable Closing set forth in Section 3, (i) the applicable Debtor shall assign, transfer and deliver to NewCo, and (ii) NewCo shall acquire and take assignment and delivery, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents of the Debtors’ right, title and interest in and to the Applicable Transferred Collateral (as defined below), in connection with the applicable Strict Foreclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Strict Foreclosure shall apply to any of the Debtors’ right, title and interest in and to: (A) the real property located at 856 Echo Lake Road, Watertown, Connecticut, 06795 held by Theraplant, together with (to the extent of Theraplant’s interest therein) all improvements, facilities, fixtures and appurtenances thereto and all rights in respect thereof and all servitudes, easements, rights-of-way, and other surface use agreements and water use agreements, if any, related thereto (the “CT Real Property”), it being acknowledged and agreed that, following the date of this Agreement, Theraplant and NewCo will enter into a mutually acceptable stipulation for a strict foreclosure of the CT Real Property (the “CT Real Property Foreclosure”) in full satisfaction of the CT Real Property Obligations with a deficiency judgement against the Debtors, in certain mutually agreed scenarios; provided that such stipulation shall not be filed with the Connecticut Superior Court for the Judicial District of Waterbury at Waterbury by NewCo prior to the date that is one (1) business day following receipt of the approvals set forth on Schedule 4.2; (B) any tax refunds with respect to the Transferred Collateral or the Debtors that relate to a taxable period ending on or before the Transaction Closing Date except to the extent set forth in the Tax Funding Agreement; (C) any “Excluded Assets” as defined in the Collateral Agreement; and (D) the assets of the Debtors set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) (collectively, the foregoing (A)-(D), the “Excluded Collateral”), and such Excluded Collateral shall in no event be included in the Transferred Collateral and, immediately following the Transaction Closing, shall remain property of the Debtors. For purposes herein, “Applicable Transferred Collateral” means (i) with respect to the Theraplant Foreclosure, the Theraplant Transferred Collateral, (ii) with respect to the TH Foreclosure, the TH Transferred Collateral, (iii) if Holdings validly executes and delivers the Holdings Joinder, with respect to the Holdings Foreclosure, the Holdings Transferred Collateral, and (iv) with respect to the Strict Foreclosure collectively or the Transaction as a whole, the Transferred Collateral.

 

(b) Each of the Debtors acknowledges and agrees that, upon the assignment, acquisition, delivery and/or transfer (as applicable) of the Applicable Transferred Collateral at the applicable Effective Time, NewCo shall be the sole owner of the relevant portion of the Applicable Transferred Collateral transferred to it, and shall be entitled to all proceeds of such Applicable Transferred Collateral of any kind whatsoever, if any, and on and after the applicable Effective Time, no Debtor or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to any such proceeds. Each of the Debtors shall hold, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to hold, for the benefit of and in trust for NewCo, all proceeds of the Applicable Transferred Collateral received by it. Each Debtor shall, promptly following the receipt of any such proceeds by such Debtor or any of its Affiliates, remit (or procure and cause to be remitted) to NewCo such proceeds, and shall not commingle or permit the commingling of such proceeds with any other property of the Debtors.

 

(c) The parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that if, upon consummation of any Strict Foreclosure, any Transferred Collateral is registered in the name of the Agent, at and following the applicable Effective Time, the Agent is hereby authorized by the Debtors (without the need for any further notice, action or authorization) to take all actions and enter into any and all arrangements deemed by the Agent (in its discretion or at the direction of NewCo) to be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to render NewCo the legal owner of such Applicable Transferred Collateral (including to record and register such Applicable Transferred Collateral in the name of NewCo). In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the applicable Effective Time until the date that is 180 days thereafter, each Debtor hereby agrees to appoint the Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority to sign or endorse such Debtor’s name on the Applicable Transferred Collateral (or any portion thereof) and on such other instruments or documents, in each case, to the extent the Agent deems it reasonably necessary to establish or evidence title of the Agent or NewCo in any Applicable Transferred Collateral.

4.6 Liens. The Transferred Collateral is subject to the provisions of the UCC and no Debtor is aware of any facts or circumstances that have resulted or may result in the Agent failing to hold, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, a valid and perfected first priority Lien and security interest on the Transferred Collateral.

The Debtors have made available true and complete copies of, to the extent applicable, (i) each Company Plan, (ii) a written description of such Company Plan if such plans are not set forth in a written document, and (iii) the most recently prepared actuarial reports and Form 5500s.

 

(b) Each Company Plan has been established, maintained and funded in compliance with its terms and in compliance in all material respects with Applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). All payments required to be made under, or with respect to, any Company Plan (including all contributions, distributions, reimbursements, premium payments or intercompany charges) with respect to all prior periods in all material respects have been timely made or, for any such payments that are not yet due, properly accrued and reflected in the most recent consolidated balance sheet prior to the date hereof, in each case in accordance with the provisions of each of the Company Plans, Applicable Law and GAAP. With respect to the Company Plans, (i) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened that would reasonably be expected to be material to the Debtors taken as a whole, and (ii) to the Knowledge of the Debtors, there have been no “prohibited transactions” (as that term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c) of the Code) that would reasonably be expected to be material to the Debtors taken as a whole.

 

 

3For purposes of this Agreement, the Debtors’ “Knowledge” means the actual knowledge of Nicole Conboy and Timothy Bossidy.

 

15

 

 

(c) Each Company Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the IRS to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, and, to the Knowledge of the Debtors, nothing has occurred that would affect the qualification or tax exemption of any such Company Plan.

 

(d) None of the Debtors nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates currently maintains or contributes to, or has at any time in the six years prior to the date of this Agreement maintained or contributed to or been obligated to contribute to any (i) plan, program or arrangement covered by Title IV or ERISA or subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, (ii) a plan that has two or more contributing sponsors at least two of whom are not under common control, within the meaning of Section 4063 of ERISA, (iii) a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA), or (iv) a plan maintained in connection with any trust described in Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. No Debtor nor any ERISA Affiliate has withdrawn at any time in the six years prior to the date of this Agreement from any multiemployer plan as defined under Title IV of ERISA, or incurred any withdrawal liability which remains unsatisfied. “ERISA Affiliate” means with respect to any person, any trade or business, whether or not incorporated, that together with such person, would be treated as a single employer within the meaning of Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code or Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA or would be treated as members of the same “controlled group” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA.

 

(e) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7(e), either the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, either alone or in combination with another event, (i) entitle any current employee or service provider to severance pay or any other termination payment or benefit from the Debtors or Holdings, (ii) result in any payment becoming due, or materially increase the amount of any compensation or benefits due, to any current employee or service provider, (iii) accelerate the time of payment, funding or vesting, of compensation (including stock-based compensation) due to any current employee or service providers, or (iv) result in any payment or benefit (whether in cash or property or the vesting of property) to any “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1) that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)-(1) of the Code). No person is entitled to receive any additional payment (including any Tax gross-up or other payment) from any Debtor or Holdings as a result of the imposition of the excise Taxes required by Section 4999 of the Code or any Taxes required by Section 409A of the Code.

 

(f) Schedule 4.7(f) sets forth an accurate and complete list of all current employees and other service providers of the Debtors as of the date of this Agreement, including (i) name, (ii) work location, (iii) employing or engaging entity, (iv) base salary or wage rate, (v) status as exempt vs. non-exempt and (vi) status as active vs. inactive.

 

(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7(g), none of the Debtors are party to, and none of the employees of the Debtors are covered by, any collective bargaining contracts or other agreements with a union or other labor organization. There is no (and in the three years prior to the date of this Agreement there have not been any) pending or, to the Knowledge of the Debtors, threatened (i) labor strike, slowdown, work stoppage, lockout or other work interruption or material labor-related grievance involving the Debtors, (ii) representation or certification proceedings or material unfair labor practice complaints brought before or filed with the National Labor Relations Board or any other labor relations tribunal or authority, or (iii) labor organizing efforts or campaigns involving the Debtors.

 

(h) During the past three years, each of the Debtors have been in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws regarding employment and employment practices, including terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours, occupational safety and health, nondiscrimination, sexual harassment, immigration, benefits, classification, collective bargaining, the payment of social security or similar Taxes, and/or income Tax withholding.

 

4.8 Notice of Default; Acceleration; Other Liens. The Debtors acknowledge that:

 

(a) the Existing Events of Default have occurred and are continuing, and have not been waived by the Agent, NewCo or the Consenting Lenders, and any forbearance in respect of any of the Existing Events of Default or any matters relating thereto (including any exercise of rights or remedies in connection therewith) provided by the Agent, NewCo or any Consenting Lender will terminate automatically at the applicable Effective Time;

 

16

 

 

(b) Notice of the occurrence and continuance of the Existing Events of Default has been properly and validly given to such Debtor by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders as required under the Loan Documents upon delivery of the Default and Acceleration Notice, and all other notices required to be delivered and any and all other actions required to be taken in connection with the acceleration of the Obligations have been given or taken, as applicable, and, accordingly, the Obligations have been properly, validly and unconditionally accelerated and declared to be forthwith due and payable in full in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Such Debtor shall not contest or challenge or otherwise object to the validity of the Default and Acceleration Notice or any such other notice described above, or the matters set forth therein (including the acceleration of the Obligations provided for thereunder). Without limiting the foregoing, such Debtor agrees that, in addition to any prior notices delivered by the Agent, this Agreement also constitutes any notice that may be given or required as a condition precedent to the Agent exercising any of its Enforcement Rights, and any and all grace or cure periods are hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waived and relinquished by such Debtor to the extent permitted by Applicable Law; and

 

(c) The outstanding Obligations are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and are owed by such Debtor free of any offset, defense or counterclaim, and such Debtor will not (and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to) assert any set off, defense or counterclaim to the outstanding Obligations or any portion thereof.

 

5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Agent. Except as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered at the time of entering into this Agreement, the Agent, the Consenting Lenders and NewCo each represent and warrant, and in the case of Section 5.7, covenants, to the Debtors, each as to itself, as follows:

(c) As of immediately prior to the applicable Effective Time, NewCo will be the legal owner or beneficial owner and holder of investment and voting authority over, all of the Obligations and other Existing Debt and such ownership shall be set forth as such in the records maintained by the Agent.

21

(iv) by either (i) the Debtors, on the one hand, or (ii) the Agent and NewCo, on the other hand, if any of the Strict Foreclosures shall not have occurred by the Foreclosure Outside Date; provided, that if (x) Holdings has not executed a Holding Joinder or (y) only the Holdings Closing has not yet occurred, in each case, by the Foreclosure Outside Date (and no Holdings Board Change has occurred), each of Agent, NewCo and the Debtors right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.16(a)(iv) shall be suspended until the Holdings Outside Date; and

(b) If either (i) the Debtors, on the one hand, or (ii) the Agent and NewCo, on the other hand, desires to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.16, such party shall give written notice of such termination to the other parties hereto; provided, that any termination pursuant to Section 6.16(a)(v) shall occur automatically and the foregoing notice shall not be required.

 

(c) Upon a termination of this Agreement as to all parties in accordance with this Section 6.16, the provisions of this Agreement shall have no further force or effect and no party hereto shall have any continuing Liability to any other party hereunder, except for the provisions in Sections 6.1–6.7, 6.10–6.12, 6.17–6.20, 6.21, and this Section 6.16(c) each of which shall survive termination of this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 6.16 shall be deemed to (A) release any party hereto from any Liability for any (x) knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement prior to the date of termination or (y) willfully and knowingly committed fraud against the non-breaching party with the specific intent to deceive and mislead, as determined by a Court or (B) impair the right of any party hereto to compel specific performance by any other party hereto of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

6.17 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement, which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only as broad as is enforceable. Upon a determination that any provision, or the application of any such provision, is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

 

6.18 Specific Performance.

6.19 Non-Recourse. Other than with respect to claims or causes of action sounding in tort of any Contracting Party against any shareholder of Holdings, if any, (a) no director, officer, manager, shareholder, employee, agent, consultant, attorney, accountants, or financial advisor of any Contracting Party (but excluding any individuals or entities listed on Schedule 6.19 and any other individual or entity that directs or supports (including by supporting litigation seeking) a Holdings Board Change (as defined in the Holdings Joinder)) (collectively, “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any Liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or other Liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or their negotiation, execution, performance, or breach and (b) to the maximum extent permitted by law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such claims, causes of action, obligations and other Liabilities against any such Nonparty Affiliates. It is expressly agreed that the Nonparty Affiliates to whom this Section 6.19 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.19. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Contracting Party” means any party to this Agreement or, if applicable such party’s successor or permitted assigns.

 

6.20 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Contracting Party have any Liability under this Agreement for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, lost profits or similar items (including loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to a breach or alleged breach of this Agreement); provided, that such limitation shall not (a) limit any Contracting Party’s right to recover contract damages in connection with or resulting from such party’s failure to close the Transaction in breach or violation of this Agreement and (b) constitute a waiver or estoppel of any Contracting Party’s right to pursue and/or recover any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, lost profits or similar items (including loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity) against any person that is not a Contracting Party or a Nonparty Affiliate.

No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

 

6.22 Schedules and Exhibits; Incorporation by Reference. The schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Any capitalized terms used in any exhibit or schedule but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement. Section 8 of the Transaction Support Agreement and all of the obligations of the parties hereto thereunder are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement mutadis mutandis.

 

6.23 Joinder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and in addition to the obligations of any Consenting Lender set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement, if any Consenting Lender Transfers (as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement) any or all of its Obligations or other Existing Debt to another person, such Consenting Lender shall, as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer, require the transferee thereof to agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance acceptable to the Greenrose Entities.

Neither this Agreement, nor the fact of its execution, nor any of its provisions, shall be offered or received in evidence in any action or proceeding of any nature or otherwise referred to or used in any manner in any court or other tribunal, except in a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

From and after the execution of such Mutual Release Joinder, such Greenrose Entity will be bound by, and subject to, the provisions of this Agreement and the Mutual Release Joinder as a Greenrose Releasor, Greenrose Releasee, and Greenrose Company Releasee.

 

9.Miscellaneous.

 

9.1.This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties concerning the Released Claims.

This Agreement is executed without reliance on any representations by any person or entity concerning the nature, cause or extent of injuries, or legal liability therefore, or any other representations of any type or nature except as set forth herein. No contrary or supplementary oral agreement shall be admissible in a court to contradict, alter, supplement, or otherwise change the meaning of this Agreement.

 

9.2.This Agreement has been negotiated in good faith, is the product of arm’s length negotiation and each of the Parties is adequately represented by counsel, none of whom shall be deemed the “drafter” of the agreement, and no provision of this Agreement shall be applied or interpreted by reference to any rule construing provisions against the drafter.

 

9.3.Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the effect of which shall come as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

9.4.The descriptive headings of any provisions of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement. All exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are fully incorporated into this Agreement.

C-9

9.7.Facsimile or other electronic copies of signatures on this Agreement are acceptable, and a facsimile or other electronic copy of a signature on this Agreement is deemed an original.

 

9.8.This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but when taken together constitute one and the same document.

 

9.9.Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations of any Party hereto may be assigned by any Party hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

 

9.10.This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties, their successors, permitted assigns, transferees and/or other persons who have asserted or seek to assert claims on behalf of the Parties.

 

9.11.The Parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of the provisions of this Agreement by any Party would cause irreparable damage to the other Party and that such other Party would not have an adequate remedy at law for such damage. Therefore, the obligations of the Parties set forth in this Agreement shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies that the Parties may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

9.12.No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right or remedy provided by law under or pursuant to this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver or variation of it or preclude its exercise at any subsequent time, and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

 

9.13. All Claims (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and are expressly limited to) the entities that are expressly identified as Parties hereto in the preamble to this Agreement or, if applicable, their successors and assigns (“Contracting Parties”).

It is expressly agreed that the Nonparty Affiliates to whom this Section 9.13 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9.13.

1.2 Payment of Specified Tax Liabilities. The Greenrose Entities shall at their own expense prepare (or cause to be prepared) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by the Greenrose Entities. The Greenrose Entities shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a completed copy of any Tax Return relating to a Specified Tax Liability (the “Specified Tax Liability Tax Returns”) to NewCo for NewCo’s review and approval at least 30 days prior to filing such Specified Tax Liability Tax Return. The Greenrose Entities shall incorporate any reasonable comments from NewCo that are provided to the Greenrose Entities prior to the due date for filing such Specified Tax Liability Tax Return, and the Greenrose Entities shall timely file (or cause to be timely filed) such Specified Tax Liability Tax Return. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4, NewCo shall pay to the Greenrose Entities an amount equal to (a) any Specified Tax Liabilities shown as due on any Specified Tax Liability Tax Return that is filed in accordance with this Section 1.2 and (b) upon written notice from the Greenrose Entities, any Specified Tax Liabilities that are due and payable and for which no associated Tax Return is required to be filed (such as property tax payments), and, in each case, the Greenrose Entities shall cause such amounts to be timely remitted to the applicable taxing authorities; provided, however, that, (i) with respect to any Specified Tax Liability that is not a federal or state income tax, NewCo shall not be obligated to pay (taking into account any prior payments made by NewCo or the Greenrose Entities in respect of such Specified Tax Liability) any amounts in excess of the amount set forth on Schedule I with respect to such Specified Tax Liability, (ii) with respect to any tax liability that is a 2022 federal or state income tax, NewCo shall not be obligated to pay (taking into account any prior payments made by NewCo or the Greenrose Entities in respect of any Specified Tax Liability that is a 2022 federal or state income tax) amounts in excess of the amounts set forth on Schedule I with respect to such income taxes and (iii) with respect to any tax liability that is a 2023 federal or state income or franchise tax, NewCo shall not be obligated to pay (taking into account any prior payments made by NewCo or the Greenrose Entities in respect of any Specified Tax Liability that is a 2023 federal or state income or franchise tax) any amount in excess of the lesser of (x) the aggregate (i) actual 2023 consolidated, combined or unitary income or franchise taxes payable by Holdings or any other group that includes Theraplant and/or TH, and (ii) any other state income or franchise taxes payable with respect to solely the operating income of Theraplant and/or TH that are not determined on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis and (y) the 2023 federal and state income taxes that would be payable with respect to solely the operating income attributable to the assets of TH and Theraplant transferred to NewCo for the period January 1, 2023, until the first Closing Date (as defined in the Strict Foreclosure Agreement), determined as if either or both of those entities filed tax returns on a separate company basis; provided that if the TH Closing Date and Theraplant Closing Date occur on different dates, for the period between the first Closing Date and second Closing Date, clause (y) shall only apply with respect to operating income attributable to those assets of TH or Theraplant transferred to NewCo on the second Closing Date. The amount, if any, payable by NewCo pursuant to clause (iii) shall be based on reasonably detailed calculations provided in writing by the Greenrose Entities to NewCo, which calculations shall be reviewed by NewCo and subject to NewCo’s reasonable good faith consent. NewCo shall be required to pay any amount it is required to pay pursuant to this Section 1.2 no later than five (5) days before the due date for the applicable tax payment (which[, in the event Holdings becomes a party to this Agreement,] shall include the due date of estimated quarterly taxes relating to such amounts); provided, that Specified Tax Liabilities described in clause (iii) shall include any related interest and penalties associated with an underpayment of such Specified Tax Liabilities except to the extent such interest and penalties arise solely as a result of the failure by the Greenrose Entities to timely pay such Specified Tax Liabilities with readily available funds provided by NewCo hereunder. NewCo may elect to pay any amount it is required to pay pursuant to this Section 1.2 directly to a taxing authority or, alternatively, to pay any amount it is required to pay pursuant to this Section 1.2, which it does not elect to pay directly to a taxing authority, into the Specified Tax Liability Reserve Account established and maintained in accordance with Section 1.6 below. The Greenrose Entities shall bear any amounts owed with respect to any Specified Tax Liabilities that are in excess of NewCo’s obligations hereunder.

 

1.3 Transfer Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in provided in Section 1.4, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and similar taxes incurred in connection with the transfer of the Transferred Collateral pursuant to the Strict Foreclosure (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by NewCo. The Parties shall cooperate to prepare and file any Tax Returns required to be filed in connection therewith.

1.4 Tax Refunds. The Greenrose Entities shall be entitled to any refunds of taxes paid by the Greenrose Entities that relate to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date that are received by the Greenrose Entities or NewCo on or after the Effective Date (“Pre-Closing Refunds”); provided, however, that (i) NewCo shall be entitled to refunds of any Specified Tax Liabilities or Transfer Taxes paid by NewCo under this Agreement, (ii) if a Greenrose Entity receives any amount described in clause (i) it shall be treated as receiving such amount on behalf of NewCo in trust and (iii) the total amount of Pre-Closing Refunds to which the Greenrose Entities are entitled shall be reduced by the amount of any Specified Tax Liabilities or Transfer Taxes paid or reasonably expected to be payable by NewCo under this Agreement (and NewCo shall be entitled to such Pre-Closing Refunds instead); provided, further, that (i) through (iii) only apply to the extent the Greenrose Entities receive (or would receive but for this provision) an actual payment with respect to such Pre-Closing Refunds. For the avoidance of doubt, any obligation of NewCo to make a payment of a Specified Tax Liability or a Transfer Tax under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of any Pre-Closing Refund to which the Greenrose Entities are entitled under this Agreement and have previously received (that has not previously been accounted for in reducing NewCo’s obligations hereunder) and the Greenrose Parties shall bear the remainder of the Specified Tax Liability or Transfer Tax, as applicable, to the extent of any Pre-Closing Refund received by the Greenrose Entities (that has not previously been accounted for in reducing NewCo’s obligations hereunder). The Parties shall cooperate to claim any Pre-Closing Refund to which any Greenrose Entity, on the one hand, or NewCo, on the other hand, is entitled under this Agreement, and each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties if it has received a Pre-Closing Refund. If any Greenrose Entity, on the one hand, or NewCo, on the other hand, receives a Pre-Closing Refund to which any other Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 1.4 it shall (and shall cause its respective affiliates and subsidiaries, as applicable, to) promptly pay to such Person the amount to which such Person is entitled, less any tax or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the first Person to the extent directly related to the portion of such Pre-Closing Refund to which the other Person is entitled; provided, that no Greenrose Entity shall be entitled to any Pre-Closing Refunds that are payable to another person (other than a Greenrose Entity or NewCo pursuant to any contract that is part of the Transferred Collateral.

 

1.5 Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns and the conduct of any tax contests, including by making available such information, records and documents relating to taxes that such other Party may reasonably request in connection therewith. [Until such time as Holdings becomes a signatory to this Agreement, Theraplant and TH shall use reasonable best efforts to comply with the provisions of this Agreement that may be in the control of Holdings, including taking all actions available to Theraplant and TH to obtain information from Holdings in an effort to take any actions consistent with this Agreement.]3

 

1.6 Tax Reserve Account. On or before the Effective Date, Theraplant shall establish an account on the books and records of, and in the name of, Theraplant (the “Specified Tax Liability Reserve Account”). If, in accordance with Section 1.2, NewCo elects to pay any Specified Tax Liability that NewCo is obligated to pay under this Agreement directly into the Specified Tax Liability Reserve Account, NewCo shall deposit such amounts into the Specified Tax Liability Reserve Account and such deposit shall satisfy NewCo’s obligation hereunder with respect to such Specified Tax Liability. Amounts deposited in the Specified Tax Liability Reserve Account shall be used exclusively to pay the Specified Tax Liability to which such amounts relate to the relevant taxing authority. Theraplant shall not transfer any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Specified Tax Liability Reserve Account to any other Greenrose Entity or any other person without the consent of NewCo; provided that Theraplant may transfer funds withdrawn from the Specified Tax Liability Reserve Account to other Greenrose Entity to the extent required (as determined in the sole discretion of Theraplant) to effect the payment of a Specified Tax Liability to a taxing authority.
