The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the production, distribution, and sale of Cannabis and products containing Cannabis remain a violation of the Federal Cannabis Laws, and, so long as each Borrower is otherwise in compliance with all State Cannabis Laws and other Legal Requirements, that the Cannabis Business of Borrower and the use of the Property in connection with such Business shall not be deemed a violation of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan
11
Loan Agreement



Documents, or cause a misrepresentation, breach of covenant, default, or Event of Default under this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower and Lender hereby expressly waives any defense to the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents based upon non-conformance with or violation of applicable Laws relating to Cannabis and the Cannabis industry. Each Borrower and the Lender hereby agree that no such violations of Federal Cannabis Laws or other United States federal Laws shall render this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any of the terms and conditions thereof null, void, or otherwise unenforceable, to the extent permitted by applicable State Cannabis Laws and other Legal Requirements.
9.02.Controlled Substances Act. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 9.01 of this Loan Agreement, Borrower shall not, and shall not suffer or permit a tenant, including Dalitso, under any lease to violate any Laws affecting the Property, including the Controlled Substances Act, including the commencement of any proceedings under the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act.  Upon learning of any conduct contrary to this Section, Borrower shall immediately take all actions reasonably expected under the circumstances to terminate any such use of the Property, including: (a) to give timely notice to an appropriate law enforcement agency of information that led Borrower to know such conduct had occurred, and (b) in a timely fashion to revoke or make a good faith attempt to revoke permission for those engaging in such conduct to use the Property or to take reasonable actions in consultation with a law enforcement agency to discourage or prevent the illegal use of the Property.

9.03.Ongoing Compliance; Change in Laws. This Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to strict requirements for ongoing regulatory compliance by the parties hereto, including, without limitation, requirements that the parties take no action in violation of either any State Cannabis Laws or the guidance or instruction of any applicable state regulatory body (together with any successor or regulator with overlapping jurisdiction, the “Regulator”). The parties acknowledge and understand that State Cannabis Laws, Federal Cannabis Laws, and/or the requirements of the Regulator or other Governmental Authority are subject to change and are evolving as the marketplace for state-compliant cannabis businesses continues to evolve. If necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements of Federal Cannabis Laws permitting or authorizing the Business (if any), or State Cannabis Laws, the Regulator and/or any other Governmental Authority that do not constitute an Adverse Change in Cannabis Law, upon notice from one party to the other (the “Compliance Notice”), the parties hereby agree to (and to cause their respective affiliates and related parties and representatives to) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions reasonably requested to ensure compliance with such Federal Cannabis Laws permitting or authorizing the Business (if any), State Cannabis Laws, Governmental Authority and/or the Regulator, including, without limitation, negotiating in good faith to amend, restate, amend and restate, supplement, or otherwise modify this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to reflect terms that most closely approximate the parties original intentions.
