Further, the parties hereto understand and acknowledge that certain Cannabis Laws may prohibit or limit the ability of the Lender to take a security interest in or foreclose on any Collateral subject to Cannabis Laws and/or the Cannabis Licenses, and the parties hereto hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Collateral will be pledged hereunder or foreclosed on by the Lender except in accordance with all applicable Cannabis Laws and Cannabis Licenses (including without limitation filing of notices with, and obtaining pre- or post-transaction approval of, all applicable governmental authorities).

4.Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance of the Borrower’s obligations under the Note (collectively, the “Obligations”), each Security Party hereby grants to the Lender a continuing first priority security interest (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) in and to and an encumbrance on all of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located.

5.Perfection of Security Interest. Each Security Party shall take all action that may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to maintain at all times the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of the Lender’s security interest in and encumbrance on the Collateral or to enable the Lender to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to (i) immediately discharging all encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances; (ii) delivering to the Lender, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as the Lender may specify, and stamping or marking, in such manner as the Lender may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments, letters of credit and advices thereof and documents evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Interests; (iii) entering into warehousing,

4

lockbox and other custodial arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Lender; and (iv) executing and/or delivering financing statements, control agreements, instruments of pledge, mortgages, notices, assignments and other documents, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, maintenance or continuation of the Lender’s security interest and encumbrance under the UCC or other applicable law. Each Security Party hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements or any similar document in any applicable jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Lender may determine are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the Lender for its benefit. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or a description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Lender may determine is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Lender for its benefit, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” All actual, out-of-pocket charges, expenses and fees the Lender may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating to any of the foregoing, shall be added to the Obligations, or, at the Lender’s option, shall be paid by any Security Party to the Lender immediately upon demand.

6.Protection of Collateral. The Loan Parties and the Lender understand and agree that an important purpose of the Advances is to enable the development and operation of the Retail Locations and that the Retail Locations and other Collateral will have full value as collateral only (i) following the DOH’s issuance of the Dispensary Permit, (ii) while the Dispensary Permit remains unencumbered, unchallenged and in full force and effect and (iii) when the Retail Locations are fully permitted, built out, properly managed and placed in operation in accordance with industry best practices in the Commonwealth and Sections 6(c) and 6(d) of this Agreement.  Accordingly, each Loan Party will use best efforts (but without any attendant obligation to divest non-monetary assets) at all times to create value in the Collateral and safeguard, protect and preserve all Collateral other than dispositions expressly permitted hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing:

(a)the Borrower shall promptly apply for the Dispensary Permit and shall use best efforts (but without any attendant obligation to divest non-monetary assets) to meet any and all conditions precedent to the DOH’s issuance of the Dispensary Permit to the Borrower, including, without limitation, demonstrating to the DOH that the Borrower has a legal right to build out and operate the Retail Locations;

(b)in order to further protect the Collateral used as security for the Advances  by ensuring separation of the Collateral from the other assets of the Borrower, as soon as permissible under the Cannabis Laws following the Location Opening Date, the Borrower shall seek approval from the DOH, at the earliest allowable opportunity, to (i) form NewCo, (ii) transfer the Dispensary Permit from the Borrower to NewCo (the “Permit Transfer”) and (iii) cause the NewCo Joinder in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement;

(c)[***]

(d)the Borrower shall, and shall cause NewCo to, as applicable, comply in good faith with the lawful directives of the Lender in respect of matters related to the Advances

5

and operate the Loan Parties’ businesses, including in respect of the Dispensary Permit and Retail Locations, (i) consistent with industry best practices and its own standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) as such SOPs are submitted to the DOH, (ii) in a manner designed to maximize the revenue of such Retail Locations and preserve the goodwill and relationships of the Loan Parties’ current and future customers, employees, licensors, contractors and others having business relationships with the Loan Parties with respect to the Retail Locations and (iii) in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations then in effect, including the Cannabis Laws; and

(e)Until full and indefeasible payment and performance of all of the Obligations under the Note (subject to the partial release of certain Collateral as set forth in Section 3(b)(i) of this Agreement), the Lender’s interest in the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect. The Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the Lender’s interest in the Borrower Collateral and the NewCo Collateral, and Baker shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the Lender’s interest in the Baker Collateral, in each case against the claims of any and all Persons whatsoever, other than the Lender and persons claiming through the Lender.

7.[***]

8.Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default (after giving effect to any period of grace) shall have occurred, each Security Party each agrees, upon the request of the Lender, to assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at any place of business of the such Security Party or any other location reasonably designated by the Lender, and it is understood and agreed that the Lender shall have the right, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times:

(a)accelerate the payment of all amounts owed under the Note or any Related Contract;

(b)with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, directly or through any designee holding any necessary cannabis or other licenses and permits, take possession of the Collateral and without liability to any Security Party for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral;

(c)move for the appointment of a receiver on an ex parte basis, whose appointment is hereby explicitly consented to by the Borrower and all applicable Security Parties;

(d)foreclose the Lender’s interest in or exercise any other rights in respect of the Pledged Interests; and
