Southland agrees that a violation or threatened violation of any of the provisions of Sections (a) or (b) this Article V shall cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Hightimes Parties and that the damage to the Hightimes Parties will be difficult or impossible to calculate with precision. Therefore, in the event Southland or any Southland Affiliate violates the provisions of Section (a) or (b) of this Article V, an injunction restraining Southland or any Southland Affiliate from such violation may be obtained by any one or more member of the Hightimes Parties in addition to any other relief then available to the aggrieved party or parties. If, at the time of enforcement of any provision of Section (a) or (b) of this Article V, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or other restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or other restrictions reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or other restrictions and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and other restrictions permitted by law; provided, however, that the substituted period shall not exceed the period contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Valley Business Printers. Purchaser hereby agrees that for a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, it shall continue to use the services of Valley Business Printers, Inc. (“Valley”) to print the Publication on terms and conditions that are generally consistent with the past practices of Southland and Valley with respect to the Publication; provided, that the quality of the printing service and the published printing rates then being charged by Valley to Purchaser are within ten (10%) percent of the printing rates then being offered to Purchaser by any other qualified printer.

(e) Conduct of Business of the Publication. Between the date of execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Southland hereby covenants and agrees:

(i) to conduct the business and operations of the Publication only in the ordinary course of business as previously conducted;

(ii) not to accelerate the collection of any accounts receivable or the defer the payment of accounts payable;

(iii) unless approved in writing in advance by Purchaser or Hightimes, not terminate any existing agreement contemplated to be included in the Purchased Assets or enter into any new material agreement binding upon the Publication;

(iv) not sell, transfer, assign or subject to any security interest, encumbrance of lien, any of the Purchased Assets, other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of the business of the Publication; and

(v) not incur any Indebtedness on the Purchased Assets.

(f) ExWorks Consent. The obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject to obtaining the ExWorks Consent on or before the Closing Date. Hightimes hereby agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts (but without being obligated to incur any additional liability or indebtedness) to obtain such ExWorks Consent.

(g)  Tradeability of Subject Shares. In the event the Hightimes Liquidity Event shall be consummated, the Subject Shares shall be subject to a contractual lockup agreement for a period that is no longer than one hundred eighty (180) calendar days following the consummation of the Origo Merger (the “Lockup Period”), after which time the Subject Shares shall be freely tradeable without volume or other restrictions. In connection therewith:

(i) Hightimes will use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate te Reg A Offering and, if it deems it to be in its best interest to consummate the Origo Merger, to cause the Registration Statement relating to the Origo Merger to become effective and to cause the Successor to keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of at least ninety (90) days following the expiration of the Lockup Period;

(ii) In the event it consummates the Origo Merger, Hightimes will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Successor to prepare and file such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with applicable securities laws in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement;

(iii) In the event it consummates the Origo Merger, Hightimes will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Successor to register and qualify all securities covered by the Registration Statement under the state securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by Southland; and

(iv) In the event it consummates the Origo Merger, Hightimes will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Successor to cause all securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on a National Securities Exchange or Nasdaq.

(h)  Rule 144. With a view to making available to Southland the benefits of Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Southland to sell the Subject Shares and the Conversion Shares to the public without registration, the Hightimes shall (or, if applicable, shall cause the Successor to):

(i) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the Qualified Offering or the effective date of the Registration Statement, as applicable;

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other docuents required of Hightimes or the Successor, if applicable, under the Securities Act and/or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and

(iii) furnish to Southland, so long as Southland owns any Subject Shares or other securities of the Successor issued in exchange for the Subject Shares in connection with the Origo Merger, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by Hightimes or the Successor, as applicable, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act; and (ii) customary legal opinions and any such other information as may be reasonably requested by Southland in availing Southland of the benefits of Rule 144 or any other rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration.

(i)  Contractual Limitation on Transfer. Other than the form of Lockup Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A and attached as Exhibit D to the Merger Agreement entered into in connection with the Origo Merger (either the “Lockup Agreement”), there are no restrictions on transfer of the Subject Shares (or any other securities into which the Subject Shares may be exchanged in connection with the Origo Merger) other than restrictions imposed pursuant to applicable federal and state securities laws concerning public offerings of restricted securities issued in private placement transactions.

(a) Indemnification. Each of Southland, on one hand, and Purchaser and Hightimes, on the other hand (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party or Parties and its directors, officers, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any loss, cost or damage (collectively, “Losses”) related to, and to reimburse each Indemnified Person for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) as they are incurred in connection with pursuing or defending any third-party claim, action or proceeding (collectively, “Actions”) arising out of or relating to the Indemnifying Party’s material breach of a representation and warranty or the or willful misconduct in performing or failing to perform the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement or the Indemnifying Party’s breach of this Agreement.

Neither Party (each, a “Receiving Party”), along with its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, subcontractors, independent contractors, subsidiaries, and affiliates (collectively its “Representatives”) shall, during the term hereof and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, without the other party’s (each, a “Disclosing Party”) prior written approval in each instance not to be unreasonably withheld, disclose or otherwise make available to any other person or entity (whether acquired on the Closing Date or during the continuance of this Agreement) any information relating to the Disclosing Party's business plans, products, advertising, innovations, fees, advertising or product concepts, customers, technology, computer software, computer systems, marketing methods, sales margins, cost of goods, cost of materials, capital structure, operating results, or other business affairs, or any other proprietary or confidential information of the Disclosing Party (the “Confidential Information”).

(i) Severability. If any terms or other provision of this Agreement or the schedules hereto shall be determined by a court, administrative agency or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not render the entire Agreement invalid. Rather, this Agreement shall be construed as if not containing the particular invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such assignment shall be void; provided that either Party may assign this Agreement to a successor entity in conjunction with such Party's reincorporation in another jurisdiction or into another business form.

(o) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of either party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
