 Re: Administrative Support Agreement

 

Ladies
and Gentlemen:

 

This
letter agreement by and between Epiphany Technology Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and First In Line Enterprises,
Inc. (“First In Line”), dated as of the date hereof, will confirm our agreement that, commencing on the date the securities
of the Company are first listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Listing Date”), pursuant to a Registration Statement
on Form S-1 and prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”) and
continuing until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation
(in each case as described in the Registration Statement) (such earlier date hereinafter referred to as the “Termination
Date”):

 

(i)
First In Line shall make available, or cause to be made available, to the Company, at 533 Airport Blvd, Suite 400, Burlingame,
CA 94010 (or any successor location of First In Line), certain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support
as may be reasonably required by the Company. In exchange therefor, the Company shall pay First In Line the sum of $15,000 per
month on the Listing Date and continuing monthly thereafter until the Termination Date; and

 

(ii)
First In Line hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title, interest, causes of action and claims of any kind as a result
of, or arising out of, this letter agreement (each, a “Claim”) in or to, and any and all right to seek payment of
any amounts due to it out of, the trust account established for the benefit of the public stockholders of the Company and into
which substantially all of the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering will be deposited (the “Trust Account”)
as a result of, or arising out of, this letter agreement, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim it may have in the future, which
Claim would reduce, encumber or otherwise adversely affect the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account,
and further agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction of any Claim against the Trust Account or any
monies or other assets in the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

 

This
letter agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of its subject matter and
supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent
they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

This
letter agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed
by the parties hereto.

 

No
party hereto may assign either this letter agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior
written approval of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and
shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee.

 

This
letter agreement constitutes the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded
in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of law principles.

​
FORM OF SENIOR CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GENERAL CANNABIS CORP, a Colorado corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [____________________], or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) the principal sum of [$______________] (the “Principal Amount”), together with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, at maturity or upon acceleration or otherwise, as set forth herein (this “Note”).
This Note is one of a series of Notes issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by the Borrower and the Holder on even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), and capitalized terms not defined herein will have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The maturity date of this Note shall be on that day that is thirty-six (36) months after the Issue Date (the “Maturity Date”), and is the date upon which the Principal Amount, as well as all accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due and payable.
Interest on the outstanding Principal Amount shall accrue for the period from the Issue Date through December 31, 2021.1  Beginning with the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2022, (i) interest that has accrued for the period from the Issue Date through December 31, 2021 shall be due and payable, in arrears, in eight (8) equal installments payable on the on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the end of each calendar quarter; and (ii) Interest covering the period from January 1, 2022 until the Maturity Date shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the end of each calendar quarter.
Any amount of principal or interest on this Note, which is not paid by the Maturity Date, shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) fourteen percent (14%) per annum or (ii) the
​
​

1 Note to Draft: For Additional Closings on or after January 1, 2021, this date will be March 31, 2022 and the other dates will be adjusted to reflect payment beginning after the quarter ending on June 30, 2022.
​

​
maximum amount allowed by law, from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”).
The Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or any portion of this Note upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Holder; provided, however, that if this Note is prepaid prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Issue Date, then, in addition to the interest that accrues through the date of prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay to the Holder an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued hereunder had the Note not been repaid from the date of prepayment through the first (1st) anniversary of the Issue Date.
All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into the Borrower’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.
The following additional terms shall also apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I
SENIORITY
1.1       Seniority.  This Note shall rank senior in right of payment to all other “Company Debt.”  “Company Debt” means any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind whether evidenced by notes, debentures, bonds or similar instruments, and any guaranty of any of the foregoing, excluding (i) any other Notes issued in the Offering pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the 2022 Notes, (iii) accounts payable and trade debt incurred in the day-to-day operations of the business of the Borrower, (iv) operating leases, and (v) any other indebtedness for borrowed money incurred upon the written consent of the Holders of more than sixty-six percent (66%) of the then aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes.
1.2       Borrower Covenant. Borrower agrees that so long as any of the obligations evidenced hereby remain outstanding it will not, become obligated or a guarantor with respect to any Company Debt that is not, by its terms, junior in right of payment to the obligations hereunder; provided however that nothing herein shall prohibit the Borrower from repaying or refinancing any or all of its Current Outstanding Notes as contemplated in the Purchase Agreement.
ARTICLE II
CONVERSION RIGHT
2.1       Optional Conversion by the Holder. The Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the Maturity Date, to convert up to a total of fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding and
​

2

​
unpaid Principal Amount of this Note and unpaid accrued interest on this Note (such amount, the “Conversion Amount”) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (“Conversion Shares”), at the Conversion Price determined as provided herein. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 2.3 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred except in accordance with Section 2.4 below.
2.2       Conversion Price.
(a)        Calculation of Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” per share shall be the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to adjustment as further described herein). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 80% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 20%); provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 2.2(a), in no event shall the Variable Conversion Price be less than $0.65 per share of Common Stock nor more than $1.00 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided herein).
(b)        “Market Price” means, for any security as of any date, the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for the Common Stock during the thirty (30) Trading Day period ending on the last complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date, on the Over-the-Counter Pink Marketplace, OTCQB, or applicable trading market (the “Trading Market”) as reported by the reporting service designated by the Holder (i.e. www.Nasdaq.com) or, if the Trading Market is not the principal trading market for such security, on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded. If the Market Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Market Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the Holder in order to determine the Conversion Price of this Note. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the Trading Market, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.
(c)        Sample Calculation. For illustration purposes only, if the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount and unpaid accrued interest on this Note is $250,000 and the Market Price is $1.00, then the Variable Conversion Price would be $0.80 (80% x $1.00) and the number of shares into which this Note would convert would be 312,500. If the Market Price was $0.50, then the Variable Conversion Price would be $0.65 (because the Variable Conversion Price shall not be less than $0.65) and the number of shares into which this Note would convert would be 384,615.
​

​
(d)        Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the Conversion rights exist, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note.
(e)        Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased such that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Borrower which such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had this Note been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased such that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Borrower which such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had this Note been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event.
(f)        Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger or Sale of Assets.  If at any time while this Note, or any portion thereof, is outstanding there shall be (i) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for in subsection (d) above), (ii) a merger or consolidation with or into another corporation in which the Borrower is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the Borrower is the surviving entity but the shares of the Borrower’s capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Borrower’s properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of this Note shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of this Note the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the shares deliverable upon conversion of this Note would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Note had been converted immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 2.2.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(f) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the conversion of this Note. If the per-share consideration payable to the Holder for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Borrower’s Board of Directors.  In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Borrower’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Note with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions
​

4

​
of this Note shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon conversion of this Note.
2.3       Mechanics of Conversion.
(a)        Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the updated current unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount of the Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid Principal Amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the Principal Amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid Principal Amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(b)        Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note, and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.
(c)        Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of an e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid Principal Amount hereof, surrender of this Note), the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the terms hereof within fourteen (14) days.
2.4       Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope satisfactory to the Borrower) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such
​

5

​
registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 2.4 and who is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act). Except as otherwise provided (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO: (1) RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (2) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope satisfactory to the Borrower, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Securities Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Borrower so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold.
2.5       Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note.
​

(c)        Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note, provided that Holder shall provide Borrower with five (5) days advance notice that Holder intends to declare that such representation or warranty was breached by the Borrower.

(f)        Liquidation. The Borrower commences any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Borrower.

ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1       Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.
