Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

The Company covenants and agrees that, during the Interim Period, except: # with the prior written consent of TerrAscend; # as expressly required or permitted by this Agreement; or # as required by applicable Laws, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, conduct its business in the Ordinary Course of Business and in accordance with its Organizational Documents, the Trademark License Agreement, all applicable Laws, with the exception of the CSA, as it applies to marijuana (including any implementing regulations and schedules in effect at the relevant time) or any other U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws the violation of which is predicated upon a violation of the CSA as it applies to marijuana, and the Company shall maintain and preserve its and its Subsidiaries’ business organizations, properties, assets, rights, employees, goodwill and business relationships with customers, suppliers, partners and other Persons with which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has material business relations.

Proceedings. No action, proceeding or order by any court or governmental body or agency shall have been threatened in writing, asserted, instituted or entered to restrain or prohibit the carrying out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Proceedings. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, claim, counterclaim, cross claim, arbitration, mediation, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing, or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, and whether formal or informal in any case, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a .party, potential party, non-party witness, or otherwise by reason of: # the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company; # the fact of any action taken by Indemnitee (or a failure to take action by Indemnitee) or of any action (or failure to act) on Indemnitee’s part while acting as an Agent; or # the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, and in any such case described above, whether or not serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or Expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of Expenses may be provided under this Agreement. If the Indemnitee believes in good faith that a given situation may lead to or culminate in the institution of a proceeding, this shall be considered a proceeding under this paragraph.

Proceedings. Each Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Borrower and each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower party thereto enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with the terms thereof, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Proceedings. Except as set forth in [Schedule 4.1.9], there is not currently, nor has there been for the three (3) years immediately preceding the Closing Date, any material Proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Company. The Company is not currently subject to any Order affecting the properties, assets, personnel or business activities of the Company.

Proceedings. There is no Proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, Threatened against Seller, which would affect the ability of Seller to consummate the sale of the Subject Securities or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. Seller is not subject to any Order that relates to the Subject Securities or to the Business.

The Indemnitee’s Entitlement to Indemnification. In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such determination shall presume that the Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption and establish that the Indemnitee is not so entitled. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to the Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in the appropriate court of the State of Nevada. No determination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that the Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct may be used as a defense to any legal proceedings brought by the Indemnitee to secure indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.

Detrimental Conduct. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, require a Covered Executive or Other Executive who has engaged in Detrimental Conduct to repay to the Company any Incentive Compensation Received by such Covered Executive or Other Executive during the Recovery Period (or, in the case of any Incentive Compensation that has not yet been paid or settled, the Company may cancel all or any portion of such Incentive Compensation).

Detrimental Conduct. Any Options granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan are intended to align the Optionee’s long-term interests with the long-term interests of the Company. If the Company determines that the Optionee has # engaged in willful fraud that causes harm to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, either during employment with the Company or after such employment terminates for any reason or # violated the provisions of a non-competition agreement (any such act, “Detrimental Conduct”) the Optionee shall be deemed to have acted contrary to the long-term interests of the Company. Accordingly, the following rules shall apply:
