The Neutral Accountant’s determination shall be based solely on such presentations of the Parties (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions and other terms included herein. The Closing Statement determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement. Such determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent Fraud or manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be paid by the Party whose calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital is farther from the Neutral Accountant’s calculation thereof. Nothing in this Section 2.11(b) shall be construed to authorize or permit the Neutral Accountant to: (i) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement except for the resolution of differences between Parent and Representative regarding the determination of the Final Closing Statement; or (ii) resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to the Closing Statement that is outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by Parent and Representative.

Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties. For the purposes hereof the number of Parent Shares to be issued or any decrease in the issuance thereof will be equal to the amount of the excess (in the case of item (i) of this subsection (c)) divided by the value of a Consideration Share hereunder.

2.12 Earn-out.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the value of any Earn-out Payment shall be reduced, dollar for dollar, by forty percent (40%) of the amount of any Trulieve Capital Improvements Expenses with, for the purposes of this sentence only, each Parent Share being equal to the value of a Consideration Share.

(b) If the combined EBITDA for the Company and Pioneer during the Earn-out Period is equal to or greater than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Projected EBITDA Amount for the Earn-out Period, then Parent shall issue to Sellers a bonus payment of 200,137 Parent Shares (the “Bonus Earn-out Payment”).

(c) The Company has previously applied for a Pennsylvania Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant (a “PA RACP Grant”) for up to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in funds for the reimbursement of Company expenses incurred in connection with the Capital Improvements (the “Grant Funds”). If the PA RACP Grant is awarded to the Company, Parent shall pay, ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Grant Funds, to each Seller, a cash payment equal to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of forty (40%) percent of the amount of the Grant Funds actually received by the Company under such PA RACP Grant award (collectively with the Earn-out Payment and the Bonus Earn-out Payment, the “Post-Closing Payments”).

(d) Payment of Post-Closing Payments.

(i) Within fifteen (15) days following the completion of financial statements of the Company for the Earn-out Period, which shall be no later than March 31, 2022, subject to any extension of time pursuant to Section 2.12(g) or otherwise, Parent shall prepare and deliver to Representative a statement (the “Interim Earn-out Statement”), setting forth Parent’s calculation of EBITDA for the Earn-out Period, together with reasonable supporting detail and documentation.

(ii) Representative shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the Interim Earn-out Statement (the “Earn-out Review Period”) to review the Interim Earn-out Statement. If Representative disputes the calculation of EBITDA for the Earn-out Period set forth in the Interim Earn-out Statement, Representative shall deliver, prior to the expiration of the Earn-out Review Period, written notice to Parent setting forth any objection of Representative to such Interim Earn-out Statement (an “Earn-out Statement of Objections”). If Representative does not deliver an Earn-out Statement of Objections to Parent prior to the expiration of the Earn-out Review Period, then the Interim Earn-out Statement prepared and delivered by Parent shall be deemed to be the “Final Earn-out Statement.”

Agreement and Plan of Merger Page 21 of 79

(iii) If the Sellers deliver an Earn-out Statement of Objections prior to the expiration of an applicable Earn-out Review Period, then Parent and the Sellers shall negotiate to resolve the objections for such Earn-out Period of the Sellers specified therein during the thirty (30) day period following the receipt by Parent of the Earn-out Statement of Objections (the “Earn-out Consultation Period”). If the Sellers and Parent reach an agreement as to all such objection(s) within the Earn-out Consultation Period for such Earn-out Period, then the Interim Earn-out Statement for that period shall be revised to reflect such agreement and shall be deemed final for such period. If the Sellers and Parent are unable to reach an agreement as to all such objection(s) within the Earn-out Consultation Period, then any such objections which remain in dispute for such Earn-out Period shall be submitted to the final and binding determination of the Neutral Accountant, whose determination shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11(b) hereof within twenty (20) days of the engagement of such Neutral Accountant.

(iv) The Post-Closing Payments, if any, other than those Post-Closing Payments related to the receipt of Grant Funds by the Company (which shall be paid in cash pursuant to Section 2.12(c)), will be due and payable by the Parent in Parent Shares within ten (10) Business Days of the final determination of the Earn-out Payment hereunder as follows: (x) first, Parent Shares representing 3% of the Earn-out Payment will be paid as set forth in Schedule 2.2(d)(iv); and (y) then, to Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Share. The Post-Closing Payments, if any, will be paid in compliance with applicable Law and the rules and policies of any applicable stock exchange.

(e) Following the Closing and prior to the expiration of the Earn-out Period, except in each case with the prior written consent of Representative and compliance with applicable Law, Parent shall maintain separate financial books and records for the Company, in a manner reasonably calculated to facilitate the determination of EBITDA and shall not directly or intentionally take any actions with the purpose of avoiding or reducing the Post-Closing Payments hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, including the Company, to not discontinue, wind up, liquidate or otherwise dispose of all or any material part of the Company’s assets, other than in the Ordinary Course of Business, and the Company shall not file for or consent to bankruptcy. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the financial books and records for the Company for the 2021 calendar year will, as part of the audit of Parent, be audited by a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) registered accounting firm.

(f) The Parties understand and agree that (i) the contingent rights to receive any Post-Closing Payments shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, are not transferable, except by operation of Law relating to descent and distribution, divorce and community property, and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Merger Sub or Parent, (ii) neither Sellers nor Representative shall have any rights as a security holder of Merger Sub or Parent as a result of Sellers’ contingent right to receive any Post-Closing Payments hereunder, and (iii) no interest is payable with respect to any Post-Closing Payments.

Agreement and Plan of Merger Page 22 of 79

(g) To the extent the Company’s facilities are subject to any mandated shut-down by a Governmental Authority due to issues related to COVID-19, the Earn-out Period shall be automatically extended for the amount of time of such shut-down plus a reasonable time of up to eight (8) weeks as necessary to restart the business.

2.13 Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Surviving Company, the Representative, and any other Person making a payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment hereunder such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any applicable provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law related to Taxes and to obtain any necessary Tax forms, including Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as applicable, or any similar information, from any Seller or other recipient of any payment hereunder. To the extent amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Taxing authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Not later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall provide to the Representative a schedule identifying any such intended withholding (other than with respect to compensatory payments) and shall make such changes thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Representative to the extent consistent with applicable Law, and shall withhold in a manner consistent with the schedule.

2.14 Escrow Payments. In the event Parent or any other Trulieve Indemnitee has an indemnity claim pursuant to Section 9.1, the Escrow Amount shall be reduced by the amount of any such payment or claim and such amount shall be paid by the Escrow Agent from the Escrow Account to the Parent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amount (as reduced by any payment or claim) shall be paid to the Sellers as follows: (i) on the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date an amount shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Sellers (based on their Pro Rata Share) such that the amount of the Escrow Amount remaining in the Escrow Account shall be equal to the amount of any unresolved claims asserted against the Escrow Amount as of such date; and (ii) any Escrow Amount remaining unpaid after the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date (as reduced by any claim) shall be paid from the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent to the Parent or the Sellers, as applicable, at such time as such applicable outstanding claims against the Escrow Amount are resolved. Any portion of the Escrow Amount paid to the Sellers hereunder shall be considered an increase in the Purchase Price. The fees of the Escrow Agent that relate to the maintenance and administration of the Escrow Account shall be paid 50% by Parent and the remaining 50% shall be considered a Company Transaction Expense to the extent incurred at or prior to Closing and, following Closing, shall be satisfied out of the Escrow Account. The parties agree to treat the Escrow Account as a “contingent at-closing escrow” described in Proposed Regulation § 1.468B-8 and that the Escrow Account shall be treated for tax purposes as owned by Parent, until and except to the extent any amounts are released to Representative in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Escrow Agent to file any required reports and otherwise act in accordance with the foregoing treatment.

Agreement and Plan of Merger Page 62 of 79

(j) Procedures for Indemnification. Except as provided in Section 9.4:

(i) Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party by giving the party being indemnified (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give the Claim Notice promptly as required by this Section 9.1 shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Section 9.1 except and only to the extent such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party. Such Claim Notice shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such Claim Notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim.

(ii) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Section 9.1 shall be determined: (i) by this Agreement; (ii) by a determination of a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 10.16; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall agree in writing (a “Determination”). All amounts due to the Indemnified Party shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after such Determination pursuant to Section 9.5.

Agreement and Plan of Merger Page 63 of 79

(iii) An Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party promptly in writing, and in reasonable detail, of any Legal Proceeding made by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement, or a representative of the foregoing against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a party be physically served with a complaint with regard to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party with a copy of the complaint within ten (10) calendar days after receipt thereof and shall deliver a copy of such complaint to the Indemnifying Party within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt of such complaint; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Section 9.1 except and only to the extent such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(iv) In the event of the initiation of any Legal Proceeding with respect to a Third Party Claim (in which the only relief sought is monetary damages), the Indemnifying Party may elect, at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice (reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) and to control and defend such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the (A) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice that it will defend the Third Party Claim to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim under Section 9.1(j)(iii), and (B) the Third Party Action does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement Legal Proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate (and to retain legal counsel to participate) in any such defense at its sole cost and expense except in the case where the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded in good faith that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate, due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in which case the cost and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Legal Proceeding, claim or demand. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle, or agree to the entry of a final order in, any such proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the sole recourse under such settlement or final order is payment by the Indemnifying Party of monetary damages and (ii) such settlement or final order does not obligate the Indemnified Party to admit any liability and includes a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Parties.

Agreement and Plan of Merger Page 64 of 79

(k) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1(e), once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Section 9.1 and if the Indemnified Party is a Trulieve Indemnitee, then (i) if Escrow Agent has not paid the Escrow Amount to the Sellers in accordance with Section 2.14, the Escrow Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such Loss and the Escrow Agent shall pay such amount to such Trulieve Indemnitee; and (ii) to the extent that the amount of the Loss exceeds the Escrow Amount that has not been paid to Sellers, the excess amount shall be payable in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

(l) For purposes of this Section 9.1, for the sole purpose of determining the amount of Losses sustained by an Indemnified Party as a result of, arising out of or in connection with any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, or any failure by the Company or any Seller to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to it, in each case that is qualified or limited in scope as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification or limitation, such representation, warranty or covenant shall be deemed to be made without such qualification or limitation.

(m) The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition hereunder.

(n) Any indemnification payment under this Agreement shall be considered an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Subject to Section 9.5 and Section 10.19, if the Closing has occurred, absent Fraud or willful misconduct by Sellers, the sole and exclusive remedy available to a party in the event of a breach by the other party of any warranty, covenant, or other provision of this Agreement, or for any misrepresentation, shall be the indemnification provided for under this Section 9.1.

9.2 Further Assurances. Each of the Parties agrees to execute all documents and instruments and to take or to cause to be taken all actions which are necessary or appropriate to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.3 Retirement of Other Indebtedness. At Closing, Sellers and/or Representative shall cause, on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Merger Sub, all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company. Simultaneously with the Closing, the Company shall file, or shall have filed, all Contracts, instruments, certificates and other documents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Merger Sub, that are necessary or appropriate to effect the release of all Liens related to such Indebtedness.

9.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared, at the expense of the Sellers, and shall timely file or caused to be filed when due, all Tax Returns of or with respect to the Company that are required to be filed for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (not including any Pre-Closing Tax Period that includes a Straddle Period).

If Parent objects to any item on such Tax Return, it shall, within ten (10) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Representative in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Parent and Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Parent and Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by Representative of such notice (or such longer period as they may mutually agree), such disagreement shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.4(g).

(c) If Representative or Sellers, on the one hand, or Parent or Company, on the other hand, receive a written notice of any claims, demands, assessments, judgments, Tax Proceeding or other actions with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns described in Section 9.4(a) or Section 9.4(b), the receiving party shall give the other parties a copy of such written notice within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice, provided that failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Sellers of their indemnification obligations, except to the extent that they are materially prejudiced by such failure.

(d) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, value added, goods and services, excise, registration and other similar taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Sellers and fifty percent (50%) by Parent, regardless of which Party is responsible for the payment of such Transfer Taxes.

(i) in the case of Taxes (A) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (B) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (C) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date;

(ii) in the case of other Taxes (e.g., property taxes), deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period; and

(iii) all deductions allowable under applicable Law arising from Company Transaction Expenses that accrue or are paid on or prior to the Closing Date shall be treated as being deductible by the Company or the Sellers, or their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, on or prior to the Closing Date as if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date and using an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

The other party (the “Non-Preparing Party”) may, by counsel, participate in such Tax Proceeding at the Non-Preparing Party’s own expense, but the Preparing Party shall retain control over such Tax Proceeding or negotiation; provided, however, that the Preparing Party shall afford the Non-Preparing Party the opportunity to participate, as may reasonably be requested by the Non-Preparing Party, with the Preparing Party in contesting any such Tax Proceeding, which participation shall mean that the Non-Preparing Party or its counsel, at the Non-Preparing Party’s expense, may (i) be present (but not lead or otherwise control discussions) at any conferences, meetings or proceedings with any Tax authority and (ii) make suggestions to the Preparing Party regarding the conduct of any Tax Proceeding, which suggestions the Preparing Party shall

Agreement and Plan of Merger Page 67 of 79

consider in good faith but shall have no obligation to act in accordance with such suggestions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) the Preparing Party is Representative, Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the potential Tax liability of Parent and the Company and, and shall not settle or otherwise compromise any Tax Proceeding or Tax claim that could reasonably be expected to affect the Tax liability of Parent and the Company without Parent’s prior written consent, and (B) if the Preparing Party is Parent, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the potential Tax liability of the Sellers and the Company, and shall not settle or otherwise compromise any Tax Proceeding or Tax claim that could reasonably be expected to affect the Tax liability of the Sellers without Representative’s prior written consent.

(h) If there is any dispute between Parent and Representative arising under this Agreement involving the amount of the Taxes payable with respect to the Tax Returns filed under Section 9.4(a) or Section 9.4(b), as applicable, that is not resolved pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.4(a) or Section 9.4(b), as applicable, Parent and Representative shall jointly engage the Neutral Accountant to resolve such dispute and any determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be final absent Fraud or manifest error. The Neutral Accountant shall resolve any Disputed Items within twenty (20) days after the engagement of the Neutral Accountant. The Neutral Accountant shall determine how the fees and charges of the Neutral Accountant shall be split between Parent, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, based upon the percentage by which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each of Parent and the Sellers bear to the total amount actually contested by the parties. In the event any dispute cannot be resolved prior to the time the Tax Return is required to be filed, then the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by the Preparing Party and an amended Tax Return shall be filed, if necessary, to reflect the Neutral Accountant’s resolution of the dispute. Any payment to be made as a result of the resolution of a dispute shall be made, and any other action taken as a result of the resolution of a dispute shall be taken, within five (5) Business Days following the date on which the dispute is resolved (except that if the resolution requires the filing of an amended Tax Return, such amended Tax Return shall be filed by the Company within thirty (30) days following the date on which the dispute is resolved) and any refunds received with respect to such amended Tax Return shall be allocated paid to the parties in accordance with Section 9.4(e) in the case of any Straddle Period and paid to the Sellers in the case of any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(i) To the extent the Company receives any refunds with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-closing portion of any Straddle Period (determined pursuant to Section 9.4(e)), the Company shall promptly pay the amount of such refunds in cash to the Sellers, provided that to the extent (A) the amount of such refunds, when added to all other cash and other consideration paid to Sellers and treated as “boot” under Section 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, would exceed 20% of the aggregate value of consideration paid to the Sellers (including such refunds) and (B) such 20% cash threshold was not already exceeded before such time, then such excess shall be paid in Parent Shares at the same value as the Consideration Shares, to the extent permitted under applicable Law and the rules and policies of any applicable stock exchange.

Agreement and Plan of Merger Page 68 of 79

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days.

(k) Each Party shall be solely responsible for reporting and discharging its own Tax liabilities and other obligations that such Party may incur as a result of the Transactions Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, except as is expressly provided otherwise in any Transaction Agreement.

(l) For U.S. federal and state income Tax purposes, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) and shall take no action (nor fail to take any action) that would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) to the extent Parent or any of its Affiliates pays cash to any Seller that elects to cancel any portion of the Consideration Shares and instead receive the some or all of its portion the Purchase Price in cash, and (B) to the extent any of the Potential Total Cash Consideration is paid, then such cash payments shall not be considered a breach of any covenant regarding the treatment or reporting of the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, even if such cash payments causes the Merger not to qualify under such Code section. The parties agree to report the Merger as a tax-free reorganization for all U.S. federal and state income Tax reporting purposes to the extent permissible under applicable Law.

(m) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have each Seller deliver to the Merger Sub a duly completed IRS Form W-9 as of the Closing.

(n) Parent and the Company agree that they will cooperate at the Sellers’ expense with the Representative to prepare and file protective refund claims for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods, including amended Tax Returns, as may be requested by the Representative, to claim deductions for expenses that were not claimed on the originally filed return for such Pre-Closing Tax Periods as a result of the application of Section 280E of the Code on the originally filed Tax Returns, provided that in the event such claims would increase Taxes payable for periods after the Closing Date, any such increase in Taxes payables shall reduce the amount of any refund to be paid to Sellers pursuant to Section 9.4, and further provided that Purchaser and the Company shall not be required to cooperate in the filing of any such claim if the amount of any such refund would not materially exceed the amount of Taxes payable as a result of such claim for periods after the Closing Date.

(o) Parent will cause the purchase price for Pioneer to be allocated in a manner that all notes, receivables, or other amounts due from the Company to Pioneer will have a tax basis equal to the full amounts due (including accrued interest) on the Closing Date. Promptly after the Closing Date, Parent will (i) contribute the equity of the Company to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trulieve Holdings, LLC as permitted by Code Section 368(a)(2)(C) and (ii) cause Trulieve Holdings, LLC to contribute to the Company (as a contribution to capital) all notes, receivables or other amounts due from the Company to Pioneer in a transaction intended to be governed by Code Section 108(e)(6).

9.5 Payment; Set-Off.

(a) Subject to Section 9.5(b), the Sellers shall pay any Losses owing to the Trulieve Indemnitees pursuant to Section 9.1 in cash.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Trulieve Indemnitee incurs any Losses pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) prior to the delivery of any Post-Closing Payment or any cash payment pursuant to Section 9.7, subsequent to the Determination of such Loss, Parent shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its option, to set-off such Losses against such Post-Closing Payment(s) and/or such cash payment pursuant to Section 9.7, if any; provided, however, that if a Trulieve Indemnitee asserts, in good faith and as determined in such Trulieve Indemnitee’s sole discretion, that it has incurred a Loss pursuant Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) prior to the delivery of any Post-Closing Payment, then the Parent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to withhold a portion of the Post-Closing Payment equal to a good faith estimate of the Loss asserted by such Trulieve Indemnitee until the Determination of such Loss.

9.6 Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) Parent shall cause the Company to provide employees of the Company as of the Closing Date (collectively, the “Company Employees”) with (i) the SIMPLE IRA plan that the Company currently has in place through December 31, 2021, and (ii) such other employee benefit plans and programs that the Company currently has in place through August 1, 2021. Parent shall recognize the service of Company Employees with the Company prior to the Closing Date as service with Parent and its Affiliates in connection with any tax-qualified pension plan, 401(k) savings plan and welfare benefit plans and policies (including vacations and leave policies) maintained by Parent which is made available following the Closing Date by Parent for purposes of any waiting period, vesting, eligibility and benefit entitlement.

(b) Parent shall be solely responsible for issuing, serving and delivering all orders and notices required, if any, pursuant to the WARN Act, in connection with the termination of any Company Employees after the Closing Date, including any notices with respect to any individual employed by the Company within the 90-day period prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the WARN Act affected thereby.

9.7 Cancellation of Escrow Shares.

(a) If Parent does not have an effective resale registration statement on Form S-1 on file with the SEC with respect to the Consideration Shares (an “Effective Form S-1”) on or prior to the Initial Lock-Up Expiration Date, each Seller shall have the right to cause Parent to cancel all or any portion of such Seller’s Escrow Shares if Seller has delivered to Parent a signed and completed Cancellation Notice at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the expiration of the lock-up period applicable to such Escrow Shares (i.e. the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date) (the “Initial Lock-Up Expiration Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, if Parent has an Effective Form S-1 on or prior to the Initial Lock-Up Expiration Date, (i) each Seller’s Escrow Shares shall be released from escrow on the Initial Lock-Up Expiration Date and delivered to such Seller, and (ii) any Cancellation Notice delivered by any Seller shall be of no

Agreement and Plan of Merger Page 70 of 79

force or effect. If Parent does not have an Effective Form S-1 on or prior to the Initial Lock-Up Expiration Date, subject to the provisions of Section 9.7(b) below, (x) each Seller that has delivered a Cancellation Notice in accordance with this Section 9.7 shall receive from Parent, in cash, an amount equal to the value of the Escrow Shares to be cancelled by such Seller pursuant to the Cancellation Notice (using the per share value of the Consideration Shares set forth in this Agreement), no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Initial Lock-Up Expiration Date, subject to Sections 2.13 and 9.5, and (y) upon delivery of such cash payment by Parent to such Seller, such Seller’s Escrow Shares shall be cancelled by Parent. Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Initial Lock-Up Expiration Date, Parent shall provide Representative with (i) all Cancellation Notices delivered in accordance with this Section 9.7(a), and (ii) the Tax Value Share Price, in order to enable Representative to determine whether the Potential Total Cash Consideration would exceed the 20% Limitation. Parent shall have no obligation to calculate the Potential Total Cash Consideration in connection with this Section 9.7, or any other provision of this Agreement but shall cooperate in good faith with Representative in connection with Representative’s determination (including by making available its tax accountants to confirm intended tax reporting).

(b) If the Potential Total Cash Consideration would, but for the application of this Section 9.7(b), exceed the 20% Limitation, as determined by Representative, in its sole discretion and sole responsibility, and communicated to Parent in writing, then the number of Escrow Shares to be cancelled for each Seller shall be reduced to the minimum extent possible so that the total Potential Total Cash Consideration does not exceed the 20% Limitation (such reduction, the “Cash Reduction”). The Cash Reduction shall be made pro rata to each Seller based on the total number of Escrow Shares requested by each Seller to be cancelled pursuant to Section 9.7(a).

9.8 Maintain Listing. Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of Parent Shares, including any issued Consideration Shares, or the successor securities to such Parent Shares, if applicable, on the CSE or any other recognized exchange in Canada or the United States until the second anniversary of the Earn Out Period.

Agreement and Plan of Merger Page 75 of 79

(i) by mutual written consent of Representative and Parent;

(ii) by Parent, if neither Merger Sub nor Parent is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and if the Company or any Seller has breached, or failed to perform or satisfy, any of their representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions, or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform or satisfy (x) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 6 not to be satisfied and (y) if capable of being cured, is not cured within twenty (20) days after Parent has provided to Representative notice in writing of its intention to terminate this Agreement (which notice shall be provided no later than twenty (20) days of Parent becoming aware of such breach or failure to perform or satisfy, provided Representative has delivered written notice of such breach or failure to perform or satisfy to Parent) or if the Company experiences a Company Material Adverse Effect;

(iii) by Representative, if Sellers are not in breach of their obligations under this Agreement, and if either Merger Sub or Parent has breached, or failed to perform or satisfy, any of its representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions, or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform or satisfy (x) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 7 not to be satisfied and (y) if capable of being cured, is not cured within twenty (20) days after Representative has provided to Parent notice in writing of its intention to terminate this Agreement (which notice shall be provided no later than twenty (20) days of Representative becoming aware of such breach or failure to perform or satisfy, provided Parent has delivered written notice of such breach or failure to perform or satisfy to Representative) or if there has been a Trulieve Material Adverse Effect;

(vii) to take all actions necessary to handle and resolve any adjustment to the Purchase Price under this Agreement;

(b) Each Seller hereby irrevocably grants unto said attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the matters described above, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that Representative may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Each Seller further agrees not to take any action inconsistent with the terms of this Section 10.22 or with the actions (or decisions not to act) of Representative hereunder, and in any case shall not take any action or other position under this Agreement without the consent of Representative. To the extent of any inconsistency between the actions (or decisions not to act) of Representative and of any such Seller hereunder, the actions (or decisions not to act) of Representative shall control.

Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that any payment made by Merger Sub on behalf of such Seller to

Agreement and Plan of Merger Page 78 of 79

Representative pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute full and complete payment to such Seller and Merger Sub shall have no further Liability therefor.
