WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

Warrant No. [●]

 

This warrant (and any other warrants delivered in substitution or exchange herefor as provided herein, this “Warrant”) is issued, for value received, to [●] (the “Holder”) by Jushi Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant have the meanings set forth in Section 18.

 

1.            Purchase of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company may notify the Holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company [●] fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value US$0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities Laws. The number of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4. For purposes of this Warrant, the shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be referred to as the “Warrant Shares”.

 

2.            Exercise.

 

2.1            Exercise Price. The purchase price for each Warrant Share subject to this Warrant (the “Exercise Price”) shall be US$[●].

 

2.2            Exercise Date. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Holder may exercise this Warrant for all or any part of the Warrant Shares at any time or from time to time from the Exercise Trigger until the Expiration Date (the “Exercise Period”).

 

 

 

 

2.3            Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder may exercise the purchase rights evidenced hereby, in whole or in part, but not for any fractional shares, by:

 

(a)            surrendering to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices (i) a notice of exercise, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof (a “Notice of Exercise”), (ii) this Warrant and (iii) if the Holder is not yet a party to any stockholders agreement relating to certain rights of the Company and its stockholders that is approved by the Board in good faith (“Stockholders Agreement”), a duly executed joinder to such Stockholders Agreement; and

 

(b)            the payment of the Exercise Price and his or her share of all income and employment withholding truces (if any), either (at the Holder's election and as identified in the Notice of Exercise) (A) by cash, check or wire transfer of immediately available funds in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares being purchased, (B) by surrender of Warrants (“Net Issuance”) as determined below or (C) by any combination of the foregoing. If the Holder elects the Net Issuance method, the Company shall issue Warrant Shares in accordance with the following formula:

 

X=Y(A-B)

A

 

Where:

 

X =      the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y =     the number of Warrant Shares requested to be exercised under this Warrant.

 

A=     the current fair market value of one Warrant Share.

 

B =     the Exercise Price plus the Holder's share of his or her income and employment withholding taxes (if any) due on the exercise of the Warrants.

 

(c)            For purposes of the above calculation, the current fair market value of Warrant Shares shall mean with respect to each Warrant Share:

 

(i)            except as set forth in Section 2.3(c)(iii) below, if the Common Stock is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange or any other securities exchange (the “Exchange”), the volume weighted average price (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent) of the Common Stock on the Exchange for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Holder delivers the Notice of Exercise, as calculated by Bloomberg Financial LP (or another equivalent provider determined in good faith by the Company) under the function “VWAP” or any successor page or function;

 

(ii)            except as set forth in Section 2.3(c)(iii) below, if the Common Stock is not listed on an Exchange, the fair market value as determined by the Board in good faith; or

 

(iii)            in the event of an exercise of the Warrant pursuant to a Business Combination (defined below), the value received by the holders of the Company's Common Stock for one share of Common Stock pursuant to such Business Combination.

 

-2-

 

 

2.4            Exercise Date. Each exercise of this Warrant will be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which both (a) the Notice of Exercise pursuant to Section 2.3 is deemed to be delivered pursuant to Section 14 and (b) all costs of the exercise (including any applicable withholding taxes) owed by the Holder have been satisfied (each such date, an “Exercise Date”).

 

2.5            Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses, taxes (other than transfer taxes and the Holder's own obligation to pay his or her income and employment taxes, if any) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

 

2.6            Certificates and Revised Warrant Documents. As soon as practicable after an Exercise Date (and in any event within five Business Days thereafter), the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or otherwise as the Holder may direct (subject to Section 5):

 

(a)            a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock, or evidence of book-entry issuance of such shares in uncertificated form, to which the Holder is entitled upon such exercise (it being agreed that each certificate or evidence so delivered will be in such denominations of shares of Common Stock as may be requested by the Holder but in no event in fractional shares); and

 

(b)            if such exercise is in part only, an amended Warrant agreement that clarifies that the Holder may still purchase of a number of Warrant Shares equal to the difference of the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant less the number of Warrant Shares that are issued to the Holder pursuant to such partial exercise.

 

2.7            Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, such fractional share will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

 

2.8            Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case the Exercise Date will be the date of such consummation and such exercise will not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to such consummation on the Exercise Date.

 

-3-

 

 

3.            Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that:

 

(a)            this Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant will be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued;

 

(b)            all Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from preemptive or similar rights and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect thereto (other than liens and charges arising solely from the actions and circumstances of the Holder or holder of such Warrant Shares);

 

(c)            the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period have authorized, and reserved, free from preemptive or similar rights and solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, which shares have not been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued;

 

(d)            the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable Law or any requirements of any securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which will be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance);

 

(e)            the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares, immediately upon such exercise, to be listed on any securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares are listed at the time of such exercise; and

 

(f)            the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate a Liquidity Event prior to [●].

 

4.            Adjustment. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4).

 

4.1            Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.

 

(i)            If the Company at any time reclassifies its outstanding shares of Common Stock such that the number of shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding immediately following such reclassification remains the same as the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification, the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be similarly adjusted to reflect the same number of shares of such capital stock of the Company after giving effect to such recapitalization, with such Warrant Shares being of the same class that are outstanding immediately following such reclassification (and for all purposes of this Warrant such shares of such capital stock shall constitute the “Warrant Shares”).

 

-4-

 

 

(ii)            If the Company at any time subdivides (by stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding number of shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such subdivision shall be proportionately increased.

 

(iii)            If the Company at any time combines or reclassifies (by reverse stock split, combination or otherwise) its outstanding number of shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased.

 

(iv)            Any adjustment under this Section 4.1 shall be conditioned on, and become effective immediately upon, the effectiveness of the subdivision or combination.

 

4.2            Business Combination. If at any time there shall be a capital reorganization of the shares of the Company's stock (other than a Liquidity Event, combination, reclassification, recapitalization, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other Person (hereinafter referred to as a “Business Combination”), then, as a part of such Business Combination, if the Holder has not otherwise elected, on a timely basis, to exercise the Warrant under Section 2.3, the Company shall cause this Warrant to be exchanged and cancelled for the consideration that the Holder would have received in connection with the Business Combination as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full pursuant to the Net Issuance provisions of this Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination, without actually exercising such right, acquiring the applicable Warrant Shares and exchanging such shares for such consideration; provided, that the foregoing sentence of this Section 4.2 shall not apply to a Business Combination in which the consideration otherwise payable to the Holder is in a form other than cash and/or liquid securities. In the event of a Business Combination in which the Holder would be entitled to receive consideration other than cash or liquid securities, this Warrant shall not be cancelled and shall remain outstanding, exercisable for the consideration to which a holder of the applicable number of Warrant Shares would have been entitled to receive in such Business Combination. For avoidance of doubt, consideration payable in cash and/or liquid securities upon lapse of contingencies, such as an escrow arrangement or earn-out arrangement, is deemed to be consideration fully in cash and/or in liquid securities.

 

4.3            Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by Section 4.1 or 4.2 but not expressly provided for by this Section 4 occurs, then the Board and the Holder will jointly determine in good faith an appropriate adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to prevent the enlargement or diminution of the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with this Section 4.

 

-5-

 

 

4.4            Dividends and Distributions. If the Company, at any time after the Exercise Trigger, makes or declares, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of the Company, cash or other property, then, and in each such event, the Holder will receive at the same time as the holders of Common Stock, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event (and the record date therefor), but only to the extent such right does not result in adverse taxation on the Holder pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. For clarity, this right to receive dividends if, as an when other holders of Common Stock do is not contingent on the exercise of the Warrant.

 

4.5            Adjustment to Exercise Price. In connection with any adjustment described in this Section 4, the Exercise Price per Warrant Share shall be automatically adjusted so that the aggregate Exercise Price for all outstanding Warrant Shares as of immediately prior to such adjustment shall equal the aggregate Exercise Price for all outstanding Warrant Shares as of immediately following such conversion.

 

4.6            Certificates; Adjustment Certificates. As promptly as practicable following any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant (but in any event not later than five Business Days thereafter), the Company will furnish to the Holder a certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Holder executed by a duly authorized officer thereof (a) certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and (b) setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

 

4.7            Notices. In the event (a) that the Company sets a record date (or a record date will otherwise occur) for any (i) dividend or other distribution, (ii) vote at a meeting (or action by written consent), (iii) right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities or (iv) right to receive any other security or right in or to a security, (b) of a Business Combination or (c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company will send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least 10 days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice in accordance with Section 14 specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or such action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent or (B) the effective date on which such Business Combination or dissolution, liquidation or winding up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company will close or a record will be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such Business Combination or dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

 

4.8            Successive Adjustments. Any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 4 will be made successively whenever an event referred to in this Section 4 occurs.
