(b) There occurs a declared and substantial change in Federal controlled substance enforcement policy that results in the active enforcement of Federal controlled substance laws against marijuana businesses in Colorado and Michigan (including persons associated therewith) acting in strict compliance with state-regulated marijuana laws.

 

 

Section 6. PHCG’s Representations and Warranties. PHCG and the Board of PHCG represent and warrant to Kingpins that the statements contained in this Section are true and correct as of the Effective Date and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date, as set forth herein and in Schedule II delivered by PHCG to Kingpins (the “PHCG Schedule”), arranged in sections corresponding to the paragraphs in this Section; the disclosure in any section or paragraph will qualify other paragraphs in this Section to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from a reading of the disclosure that it also qualifies or applies to such other sections or paragraphs.

 

(a) Organization. PHCG (i) is a Colorado corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Colorado (ii) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business under the laws of the state of Colorado, and (iii) is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect PHCG. All of the Licenses are validly issued, in good standing, and do not require renewal (either at the state or local level) prior to 30 days after the Effective Date.

 

(b) Capitalization.

 

PHCG’s authorized capital consists solely of two hundred fifty million (250,000,000) shares of common stock and twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of preferred stock.

 

No person or entity has any rights to any profits or other equity interest in PHCG, other than PHCG’s shareholders.

 

(c) Managers, Compensation, Banks. Schedule II to this Agreement contains: (i) the names and titles of all managers and officers of PHCG and all persons whose compensation from PHCG as of the date of this Agreement will equal or is expected to equal or exceed, at an annual rate, the sum of one hundred twenty thousand dollars ($120,000); (ii) the name and address of each bank with which PHCG has an account or safety deposit box, and the names of all persons who are authorized to draw thereon or have access thereto; and (iii) the names of all persons who have a power of attorney from PHCG and a summary of the terms thereof.

 

(d) Suitability of Assets. The assets of PHCG are in good condition, properly maintained, and suitable for the operation of the Businesses in accordance with PHCG’s past practices and as required by applicable law. All marijuana inventory is non-expired and of merchantable quality free of rot, fungus, disease, and pests (other than limited instances of rot, fungus, disease, or pests that can be treated using commercially reasonable efforts and treatments allowed by applicable laws and regulations). Additionally, no marijuana inventory contains any impermissible pesticide, chemical, or contaminant (pursuant to Colorado laws and regulations); nor is restricted from sale or transfer (on-hold) by the MED.

 

(e) Absence of Changes. Since May 31, 2021, there has not been any material change in the financial condition or operations of PHCG, except (i) changes in the ordinary course of business, which changes have not in the aggregate been materially adverse, and (ii) changes disclosed on Schedule II.

(g) Tax returns. Within the times and in the manner prescribed by law, PHCG has filed all federal, state, and local tax returns required by law and has paid all taxes, assessments, and penalties due and payable, except where the failure to file and/or pay would not have a material adverse effect on PHCG. No federal income tax returns of PHCG have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service. The provision for taxes, if any, reflected in PHCG’s balance sheet as of May 31, 2021, is adequate for any and all federal, state, county, and local taxes for the period ending on the date of that balance sheet and for all prior periods, whether or not disputed. There are no present disputes as to taxes of any nature payable by PHCG.

 

(h) Investigation of Financial Condition of PHCG. Without in any manner reducing or otherwise mitigating the representations contained herein, Kingpins shall have the opportunity to meet with PHCG’s accountants and attorneys to discuss the financial condition of PHCG. PHCG shall make available to Kingpins the books and records of PHCG. The minutes of PHCG are a complete and accurate record of all meetings of the shareholders and directors of PHCG and accurately reflect all actions taken at such meetings. The signatures of the managers on such minutes are the valid signatures of PHCG’s managers who were duly elected or appointed on the dates that the minutes were signed by such persons.

 

(i) Compliance with Laws. PHCG has complied with, and is not in violation of, applicable state or local statutes, laws, and regulations affecting its properties or the operation of its business. Neither PHCG nor its officers/directors are currently or have previously been under investigation by any regulatory agency. PHCG has never had any consent decrees or enforcement actions brought against it.

 

(j) Litigation. Other than as disclosed on Schedule II, PHCG is not a party to any suit, action, arbitration, legal, administrative, or other proceeding, or governmental investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of PHCG, threatened against or affecting PHCG or its business, assets, or financial condition. PHCG is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, or decree of any federal, state, local, or foreign court, department, agency, or instrumentality. PHCG is not engaged in any legal action to recover moneys due to it or damages sustained by it other than as disclosed on Schedule II.

 

(k) Ability to Carry Out Obligations. PHCG has the right, power, and authority to enter into and perform their obligations under this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by them and the performance by them of his obligations hereunder will not cause, constitute, or conflict with or result in (a) any breach or violation of any of the provisions of or constitute a default under any license, indenture, mortgage, charter, instrument, articles of incorporation, by-law, or other agreement or instrument to which they are a party, or by which they may be bound, nor will any consents or authorizations of any party other than those hereto be required, (b) an event that would permit any party to any agreement or instrument to terminate it or to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness or other obligation of PHCG, or (c) an event that would result in the creation or imposition or any lien, charge, or encumbrance on any asset of PHCG or would create any obligations for which PHCG would be liable, except as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

 

(l) Full Disclosure. None of the representations and warranties made by PHCG in any certificate or memorandum furnished or to be furnished by PHCG, or on its behalf, contains or will contain any untrue statement of material fact, or omit any material fact the omission of which would be misleading. PHCG has disclosed to Kingpins all reasonably foreseeable contingencies which, if such contingencies transpire, would have a material adverse effect on PHCG.

PHCG shall complete and provide Kingpins with full and accurate Disclosure Schedules on or before the Effective Date and shall keep such Disclosure Schedule updated thereafter. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty contained in Section 6 unless such disclosure identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. For purposes of this Agreement, “PHCG’s knowledge” or “knowledge of PHCG” or any other similar knowledge qualification, means the actual or constructive knowledge of any PHCG officer or director, after reasonable due inquiry.
