Exhibit 10.5

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) has been entered into by and between the purchaser set forth on the Omnibus Signature Page hereof (the “Purchaser”) and Parasol Investments Corp. (to be renamed “SmartKem, Inc.” upon consummation of the Share Exchange (as defined below)), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the private placement offering (the “Offering”) by the Company.

R E C I T A L S

A.       The Company is offering a minimum of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $2.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 (the “Minimum Offering Amount”), and a maximum of 11,500,000 shares of Common Stock at the Per Share Purchase Price for an aggregate purchase price of $23,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering Amount”). The Company may also sell an additional 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock at the Per Share Purchase Price for an aggregate Purchase Price of $2,500,000 to cover over-subscriptions (the “Over-Subscription Option”), in the event the Offering is oversubscribed. (References herein to “dollar” or “$” are to United States Dollars.)

B.       The Company is also offering to certain Purchasers whose purchase of shares of Common Stock in the Offering would otherwise result in the Purchaser, together with its Affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the Purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding Common Stock immediately following the Closing (as defined below) in which the Purchaser participates, the opportunity to purchase, if any such Purchaser so chooses, Pre-Funded Warrants in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), in lieu of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise result in such Purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% (or, at the election of the Purchaser, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, at a purchase price of $1.99 per Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Warrant Purchase Price”). Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable for one share of our Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.01 per Warrant Share (the “Exercise Price”).. For each Pre-Funded Warrant sold by the Company in the Offering, the number of Shares being offered will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. “Beneficial ownership” will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Closing in which such Purchaser participates and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company at such Closing pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any other person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). With respect to the Purchaser, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as the Purchaser will be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Purchaser.

C.       The Initial Closing (as defined below) of no less than the Minimum Offering Amount, including the Minimum Insider Investment (as defined below) is contingent upon, and shall be consummated simultaneously with, the closing of a share exchange in accordance with the terms of that certain Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of the Initial Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and between the Company and SmartKem Limited, a U.K company (“SmartKem”), pursuant to which SmartKem will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (the “Share Exchange”), and pursuant to which all of the outstanding capital stock of SmartKem will be exchanged for shares of the Company’s Common Stock, all outstanding SmartKem enterprise management incentive options (“EMI Options”) will be accelerated and will become exercisable, and any other SmartKem securities exercisable for or convertible into capital stock will be either cancelled or assumed by, or exchanged for new securities to acquire Common Stock of, the Company, at the same ratio at which outstanding shares of capital stock of SmartKem are exchanged, with appropriate adjustments to the per share exercise or conversion price thereof, and otherwise on their original terms and conditions. The total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that will be issued to pre-Share Exchange shareholders of SmartKem or reserved for issuance upon exercise of pre-Share Exchange options, stock appreciation rights and any other convertible securities of SmartKem will be 15,000,000 shares. As of the Closing, the Company is expected to have an Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”) reserving 2,275,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming the exercise of all outstanding SmartKem EMI Options), covering any other pre-Share Exchange SmartKem options to be assumed by, or exchanged for options of, the Company, as well as for the future issuance, at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) of options and other incentive awards to officers, key employees, consultants and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance under the EIP will be increased annually on the first day of each year beginning in 2022, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, in an amount up to four percent (4%) of the shares of stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding year. Holders of Common Stock of the Company prior to the Share Exchange will retain in the aggregate 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock after the Share Exchange. On or before the consummation of the Share Exchange, the Company will change its name to “SmartKem, Inc.”

D.       The Securities (as defined below) subscribed for pursuant to this Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”) or any state or foreign securities Law. The Offering is being made on a reasonable best efforts basis to “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. For purposes of this Agreement, “Law” or “Laws” means any federal, state, local or foreign or provincial statute, law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any statutory, common, or civil law), ordinance, rule, regulation, order, injunction, decree or agency requirement having the force of law or any undertaking to or agreement with any Governmental Authority (as defined below).

E.         The parties intend to treat the Share Exchange, together with the Initial Closing and the Subsequent Closing, if relevant, as part of a transaction that is described in Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) to the extent property is exchanged for stock as described therein.

AGREEMENT

The Company and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

1.      Subscription.

(a)                Purchase and Sale of the Securities.

(i)            Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Purchaser, that number of Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants set forth on the Purchaser’s Omnibus Signature Page attached hereto at the Per Share Purchase Price or the Warrant Purchase Price, respectively, for a total aggregate purchase price for the Securities as set forth on such Omnibus Signature Page (the “Purchase Price”). The minimum subscription amount for each purchaser in the Offering is $25,000 (or 12,500 Shares). The Company may accept subscriptions for less than $25,000 from any purchaser in the Offering in its sole discretion. Current officers, directors, shareholders of SmartKem and their respective friends and family (“Insider Investors”) will purchase a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 of Securities in the Offering (the “Minimum Insider Investment”). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Securities” means the Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants issued and sold to the Purchaser hereunder in the Offering at the Initial Closing (as defined below) and at any Subsequent Closing (as defined below).

(ii)            In connection with the Offering, the Company has entered or will enter into other subscription agreements in the same form and containing the same terms and conditions as this Agreement for Securities (“Other Securities”) (each, an “Other Subscription Agreement”) with purchasers in the Offering other than the Purchaser (collectively, “Other Purchasers”).

(b)                Subscription Procedure; Closing.

(i)            Initial Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the initial Closing of the Offering shall take place upon the satisfaction (or waiver as provided herein) of the conditions set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature will be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction (or waiver as provided herein) of such conditions) or at such other time and place as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Placement Agent (as defined below) contingent upon and simultaneously with the closing of the Share Exchange (the “Initial Closing” and the date that the Initial Closing occurs, the “Initial Closing Date”). The Company shall provide written notice to the Purchaser of the date of the Initial Closing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Initial Closing. (For the purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial banks in New York City are open for the general transaction of business.)

(ii)Subsequent Closings. If the Maximum Offering Amount is not sold at the Initial Closing, at any time prior to March 5, 2021, or at such later date as the Company and Placement Agent may mutually agree, without notice to or consent from the Purchaser or any Other Purchaser, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver as provided herein) of the conditions set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature will be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction (or waiver as provided herein) of such conditions) (each a “Subsequent Closing” and collectively the “Subsequent Closings” and the date that a Subsequent Closing occurs, a “Subsequent Closing Date”), the Company may sell additional Securities up to the Maximum Offering Amount, and if there are over-subscriptions, additional Securities may be sold in connection with the Over-Subscription Option (collectively, the “Subsequent Closing Securities”) to such persons, including the Purchaser, as may be approved by the Company and who are reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent. Any Subsequent Closing Securities issued and sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1(b)(ii) shall be deemed to be “Securities” for all purposes under this Agreement. To the extent that any Securities are to be issued and sold to the Purchaser at a Subsequent Closing, the Company shall provide written notice to the Purchaser of the date of any Subsequent Closing at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Subsequent Closing.

The Initial Closing and the Subsequent Closings, if any, shall be known collectively herein as the “Closings” or individually as a “Closing.” The Initial Closing Date and the Subsequent Closing Dates are each referred to herein as a “Closing Date”. Closings may take place remotely via the exchange by electronic transmission of documents and signatures.

The Placement Agent will be paid at each Closing from the Offering proceeds a total cash commission of eight percent (8.0%) of the aggregate gross Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser and all Other Purchasers in the Offering at that Closing (the “Cash Fee”) and will receive non-transferrable warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 8% of the number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering at that Closing plus the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Offering at that Closing, other than Securities sold to Insider Investors, with a term of five years from the Initial Closing Date and an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Company will also pay certain expenses of the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering.

All notices, consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is required to deliver or obtain pursuant to the preceding two sentences have been or will be delivered or obtained or effected, and shall remain in full force and effect, on or prior to the Closing.

For the purpose of this Agreement, the knowledge of the Company means the knowledge of the officers of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the Share Exchange) and SmartKem, in each case, both actual or knowledge that they would have had upon reasonable inquiry of the personnel of the Company or SmartKem, as applicable responsible for the applicable subject matter. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is, and since the Lookback Date has not been, subject to any judgment, decree, or order which has been, or would reasonably be expected to be material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

4.       Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the applicable Closing Date, the following:

(a)                The Purchaser has the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of its prospective investment in the Company, and has carefully reviewed and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of Securities and the tax consequences of the investment.

The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Offering of the Securities, and upon any exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the issuance of the Warrant Shares, will not be registered under the Securities Act nor under the state securities laws on the ground that the sale of such securities to the Purchaser as provided for in this Agreement and in the Pre-Funded Warrants and the issuance of securities hereunder and thereunder is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act for the reason(s) specified on the Accredited Investor Certification attached hereto as completed by the Purchaser.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound, except for any violation or conflict that, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or to consummate any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(d)                The Purchaser understands that Securities, and upon any exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Warrant Shares, are being offered and sold to him, her or it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such securities. The Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is relying on the representations and warranties made by the Purchaser hereunder and that such representations and warranties are a material inducement to the Company to sell the Securities to the Purchaser. The Purchaser further acknowledges that without such representations and warranties of the Purchaser made hereunder, the Company would not enter into this Agreement with the Purchaser.

(e)                The Purchaser understands that, other than as expressly provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company does not currently intend to register the or the Warrant Shares, if any, under the Securities Act at any time in the future; and the undersigned will not immediately be entitled to the benefits of Rule 144 with respect to the Securities or the Warrant Shares, if any. The Purchaser understands that no public market exists for the Company’s Common Stock and that there can be no assurance that any public market for the Common Stock will exist or continue to exist. The Company’s Common Stock is not approved for quotation on OTC Markets or any other quotation system or listed on any exchange.

(f)                 The Purchaser has received, reviewed and understood the information about the Company, including all Disclosure Materials provided to it by the Company and/or the Placement Agent (at the Company’s direction), and has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management. The Purchaser understands that such discussions, as well as any Disclosure Materials provided by the Company and/or the Placement Agent (at the Company’s direction), were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects and the Offering which the Company believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (as modified by the disclosures on the Disclosure Schedule or the Delivered Super 8-K (excluding any disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” any disclosures of risks included in any “forward looking statements” or disclosures that are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature)), the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. The Purchaser acknowledges that he, she or it is not relying upon any person or entity, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.

(g)                The Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Company nor the Placement Agent is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Purchaser (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and no investment advice has been given by the Company, the Placement Agent or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(h)                As of the applicable Closing, all actions on the part of the Purchaser, and its officers, directors and partners, if applicable, necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the Purchaser hereunder and thereunder shall have been taken, and this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, assuming due execution by the parties hereto and thereto, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar Laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies.

(i)                 The Purchaser represents that neither it nor, to its knowledge, any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with it, nor any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser, nor any person on whose behalf the Purchaser is acting: (i) is a person listed in the Annex to Executive Order No. 13224 (2001) issued by the President of the United States (Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism); (ii) is named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control; (iii) is a non-U.S. shell bank or is providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank; (iv) is a senior non-U.S. political figure or an immediate family member or close associate of such figure; or (v) is otherwise prohibited from investing in the Company pursuant to applicable U.S. anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist and asset control Laws, regulations, rules or orders (categories (i) through (v), each a “Prohibited Purchaser”). The Purchaser (A) agrees to provide the Company, promptly upon request, all information that the Company reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable U.S. anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist and asset control Laws, regulations, rules and orders and (B) consents to the disclosure to U.S. regulators and law enforcement authorities by the Company and its Affiliates and agents of such information about the Purchaser as the Company reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable U.S. anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist and asset control Laws, regulations, rules and orders. If the Purchaser is a financial institution that is subject to the USA Patriot Act, the Purchaser represents that it has met all of its obligations under the USA Patriot Act. The Purchaser acknowledges that if, following its investment in the Company, the Company reasonably believes that the Purchaser is a Prohibited Purchaser or is otherwise engaged in suspicious activity or refuses to promptly provide information that the Company requests, the Company has the right or may be obligated to prohibit additional investments, segregate the assets constituting the investment in accordance with applicable regulations or immediately require the Purchaser to transfer the Securities and the Warrant Shares, if any. The Purchaser further acknowledges that neither the Purchaser nor any of the Purchaser’s Affiliates or agents will have any claim against the Company or SmartKem for any form of damages as a result of any of the foregoing actions.

(j)                 If the Purchaser is an Affiliate of a non-U.S. banking institution (a “Foreign Bank”), or if the Purchaser receives deposits from, makes payments on behalf of, or handles other financial transactions related to a Foreign Bank, the Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that: (1) the Foreign Bank has a fixed address, other than solely an electronic address, in a country in which the Foreign Bank is authorized to conduct banking activities; (2) the Foreign Bank maintains operating records related to its banking activities; (3) the Foreign Bank is subject to inspection by the banking authority that licensed the Foreign Bank to conduct banking activities; and (4) the Foreign Bank does not provide banking services to any other Foreign Bank that does not have a physical presence in any country and that is not a regulated Affiliate.

(k)                The Purchaser or its duly authorized representative realizes that because of the inherently speculative nature of businesses of the kind conducted and contemplated by the Company, the Company’s financial results may be expected to fluctuate from month to month and from period to period and will, generally, involve a high degree of financial and market risk that could result in substantial or, at times, even total losses for investors in securities of the Company. The Purchaser has considered the risk factors in the Delivered Super 8-K before deciding to invest in the Securities.

(l)                 The Purchaser is not subscribing for Securities as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication, published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio, or the internet, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in securities generally.

(m)              The Purchaser acknowledges that no U.S. federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon the Securities or the Warrant Shares or made any finding or determination as to the fairness, suitability or wisdom of any investments therein.

(n)                Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any individual or entity acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales (as defined below), of the securities of the Company during the period commencing at the time the Purchaser was first contacted by the Company or any other individual or entity representing the Company (including the Placement Agent) regarding the transactions contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser being a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers do not communicate or share information with, and have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by, the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future. For purposes of this Agreement, “Short Sales” means all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but shall not be deemed to include the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock).

(o)                The Purchaser is aware that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the Securities or the Warrant Shares, if any, and other activities with respect to the Securities or the Warrant Shares, if any, by the Purchaser, and will comply with such anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M.

(p)                All of the information concerning the Purchaser set forth herein, and any other information furnished by the Purchaser in writing to the Company or a Placement Agent for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, is true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement, and, if there should be any material change in such information prior to the Purchaser’s purchase of the Securities, the Purchaser will promptly furnish revised or corrected information to the Company.

(q)                The Purchaser has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. With respect to such matters, the Purchaser relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. The Purchaser understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(r)                 If the Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the observance in all material respects of the Laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities or the Warrant Shares, if any. The Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities or the Warrant Shares, if any, will not violate any applicable securities or other Laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

(s)                 The Purchaser represents that it is not a “foreign person” for purposes of Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 (as amended) or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (including 31 C.F.R. Part 800 and 31 C.F.R. part 801); provided, however, that if the Purchaser is a “foreign person” for such purposes, it agrees that it will not (i) obtain any control rights over the Company, including the ability to determine, direct, or decide important matters affecting the Company; (ii) have access to any material nonpublic technical information in the possession of the company; (iii) obtain membership or observer rights on the Board of Directors or the right to nominate an individual to a position on the Board of Directors; or (iv) have any involvement, other than through voting of shares, in substantive decision making of the Company regarding the use, development, acquisition or release of the Company’s technology.

(t)                 (For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) plan (the “Plan”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Purchaser fiduciary or Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its Affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Purchaser fiduciary or Plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(u)                If the Purchaser is a Covered Person, neither the Purchaser nor, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, any of its directors, executive officers, other officers that may serve as a director or officer of any company in which it invests, general partners or managing members is subject to any Disqualification Events, except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) under the Securities Act, and disclosed reasonably in advance of the applicable Closing in writing in reasonable detail to the Company.

(v)                The Purchaser understands that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Securities and the Warrant Shares, if any, and that the certificates or book-entry positions representing the Securities and the Warrant Shares, if any, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such certificates or other instruments):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS BOOK-ENTRY POSITION HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION EXISTS AND THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (3) SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

In addition, if the Purchaser is an Affiliate of the Company, certificates or book-entry positions evidencing the Securities or the Warrant Shares, if any, issued to the Purchaser may bear a customary “Affiliates” legend.

Any fees (with respect to the Company's transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), counsel or otherwise) associated with the removal of such legend(s) shall be borne by the Company.

The Company shall be obligated to promptly reissue unlegended certificates upon the request of any holder thereof  at such time as the securities evidenced by such certificates or book entry positions are sold pursuant to (x)Rule 144 or another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act has been satisfied or (y)  an effective  registration statement and in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in such registration statement ,provided that the Company’s counsel and its transfer agent have received an opinion (in the case of (x)) and a certificate(in the case of (y)) in such form as the Company’s counsel reasonably requests that such securities have been disposed of pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above, as applicable. Under the foregoing circumstances, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue unlegended shares, within one (1) Trading Day after the transfer agent’s receipt of such opinion or certification, via DWAC or as otherwise requested by the holder.

(w)           If the Purchaser is an individual, then the Purchaser resides in the state or province identified in the address of the Purchaser set forth on such Purchaser’s Omnibus Signature Page to this Agreement; if the Purchaser is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, then the office or offices of the Purchaser in which its principal place of business is identified in the address or addresses of the Purchaser set forth on such Purchaser’s Omnibus Signature Page to this Agreement.

(x)             The Purchaser understands that the Company prior to the Share Exchange has been a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, and that upon filing with the SEC of the Super 8-K reporting the consummation of the Share Exchange and related transactions and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and otherwise containing “Form 10 information” discussed below, the Company will reflect therein that it is no longer a shell company. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (that is, the Securities and the Warrant Shares, if any) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the Company (a) is no longer a shell company; and (b) has filed current “Form 10 information“ (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates or book-entry positions for the Securities and the Warrant Shares, if any, cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale (i)meeting the foregoing requirements or (ii)pursuant to an effective registration statement.

(y)                The Purchaser, if and to the extent that it purchases Securities in any Subsequent Closing, represents that it (i)(A) has a substantive, pre-existing relationship with the Company or (B) had direct contact by the Company or a Placement Agent outside of the Offering, and (ii)  did not contact the Company or a Placement Agent or become interested in the Offering as a result of reading or otherwise being aware of the Super 8-K or any press release or any other public disclosure disclosing the terms of the Offering.

(z)                To effectuate the terms and provisions hereof, the Purchaser hereby appoints GP Nurmenkari Inc. as its attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, including, without limitation, taking any action on behalf of, or at the instruction of, the Purchaser and executing any release notices required under the Escrow Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that GP Nurmenkari Inc. may deem necessary or advisable (and lawful) to accomplish the purposes hereof, in each case, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser in any press release or filing with the SEC (other than the Registration Statement) or any regulatory agency or principal trading market, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities Law in connection with (A) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (B) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the SEC or (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable Law, request of the staff of the SEC or of any regulatory agency or principal trading market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this sub-clause (ii). From and after the filing of the Super 8-K, no Purchaser shall be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Company or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or any other person acting on its behalf in connection with the Offering that is not disclosed in the Super 8-K unless the Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information or is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions. The Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the Other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in this Section 9(i), the Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with such transactions (including the existence and terms of such transactions), except to the extent such disclosure (x) is made to the Purchaser Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or (y) is required by applicable Law. In addition, the Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware that United States securities laws may restrict persons who have material, non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling any securities of such company while in possession of such information. The provisions of this Section 9(i) are in addition to and not in replacement of any other confidentiality agreement, if any, between the Company and the Purchaser.

(j)                 Non-Public Information. Except for information (including the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) that will be disclosed in the Super 8-K and filed with the SEC, the Company shall not and shall cause each of its officers, directors, employees, agents and other representatives, not to, provide the Purchaser with any material, non-public information regarding the Company without the express prior written consent of the Purchaser.

(k)                Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Registration Rights Agreement and each other Transaction Document, and all exhibits, schedules and attachments hereto and thereto, including the Disclosure Schedule and any confidentiality agreement between the Purchaser and the Company, constitute the entire agreement between the Purchaser and the Company with respect to the Offering and supersede all prior oral or written agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof.

(l)                 Share Certificates. If the Securities or the Warrant Shares, if any, are certificated and any certificate or instrument evidencing any such securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Company’s transfer agent of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its transfer agent for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by such transfer agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the transfer agent. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any such securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.

(m)              Expenses. Each of the parties hereto shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees of any attorneys, accountants, appraisers or others engaged by such party) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees, stamp taxes and other Taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale and issuance of the Offering, and the Company shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such fees, Taxes and duties, and the Company shall pay all fees and expenses of its counsel in connection with the issuance of any opinion required by Section 6(k) above and of any opinion to the Transfer Agent for the removal of any legend on the Securities or the Warrant Shares, if any.

(n)                Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages that contain copies of an executed signature page such as in .pdf format shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or by e-mail of a document in .pdf format shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

(o)                Severability. Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable and, if for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined to be invalid or contrary to applicable Law, such invalid or contrary provision shall be replaced with a valid provision that as closely as possible reflects the parties’ intent with respect thereto, and invalidity or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect the remaining portions of this Agreement.

(p)                Headings. Paragraph titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this Agreement as set forth in the text.

(q)                Multiple Closings. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that there may be multiple Closings for the Offering.

(r)                 Additional Information; Further Assurances. The Purchaser hereby agrees to furnish the Company such other information as the Company may reasonably request prior to the applicable Closing with respect to its subscription hereunder. Each party hereto shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party hereto may reasonably request in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(s)                 Survival. The parties, agree that, if the Closing occurs, (i) the Company Fundamental Representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the Initial Closing Date and (ii) the other representations and warranties of the Company and the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year from the Initial Closing Date and in each case, shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Company. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (including the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 7 hereof) shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Securities in accordance with their terms or, if no term is specified, such covenants and agreements shall survive indefinitely. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Purchaser have any liability to the Company or to any other person in connection with the Offering other than pursuant to this Agreement.

(t)                 Omnibus Signature Page. This Agreement is intended to be read and construed in conjunction with the Registration Rights Agreement. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, it is hereby agreed that the execution by the Purchaser of this Agreement, in the place set forth on the Omnibus Signature Page below, shall constitute agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof and the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement, with the same effect as if each of such separate but related agreement were separately signed.

(u)                Public Disclosure. Neither the Purchaser nor any officer, manager, director, member, partner, stockholder, employee, Affiliate, Affiliated person or entity of the Purchaser shall make or issue any press releases or otherwise make any public statements or make any disclosures to any third person or entity with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and will not make or issue any press releases or otherwise make any public statements of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Company without the Company’s express prior approval (which may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion), except to the extent such disclosure is required by Law, request of the staff of the SEC or of any regulatory agency or principal trading market regulations.

(v)                Potential Conflicts. The Placement Agent, its sub-agents, legal counsel to the Company, the Placement Agent or SmartKem and/or their respective Affiliates, principals, representatives or employees may now or hereafter own shares or other securities of the Company.

(w)              Independent Nature of the Purchaser’s Obligations and Rights. For avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other agreements delivered in connection herewith are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Purchaser in connection with the Offering, and the Purchaser shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Purchaser in connection with the Offering. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by the Purchaser shall be deemed to constitute the Purchaser as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchaser is in any way acting in concert or as a group with any Other Purchaser in connection with the Offering with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any Other Subscription Agreement. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other party to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

(x)                Waiver of Conflicts. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that each of Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP, counsel to the Company prior to the Share Exchange, Lowenstein Sandler LLP, counsel to SmartKem, and the Company post-Share Exchange, Lucosky Brookman LLP, counsel to the Placement Agent, may have in the past performed and may continue to or in the future perform legal services for certain of the Purchasers in matters unrelated to the transactions described in this Agreement, including financings and other matters. Accordingly, each party to this Agreement hereby (a) acknowledges that they have had an opportunity to ask for information relevant to this disclosure; (b) acknowledges that Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP, Lowenstein Sandler LLP and Lucosky Brookman LLP represented the Company, SmartKem and the Placement Agent, respectively, in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and has not represented any individual Purchaser in connection with such transaction; and (c) gives its informed consent to Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP’s, Lowenstein Sandler LLP’s and Lucosky Brookman LLP’s representation of certain of the Purchasers in such unrelated matters and to Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP’s, Lowenstein Sandler LLP’s and Lucosky Brookman LLP’s representation of the Company, SmartKem and the Placement Agent, respectively, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Further, each party to this Agreement hereby acknowledges that Lowenstein Sandler LLP anticipates that it will advise the Company following the Share Exchange.

(y)                Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of Securities or the Per Share Purchase Price or the Warrant Purchase Price, as applicable, shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.

(z)                Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof and that each party hereto may be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at Law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers). The parties hereto agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the respective covenants and obligations of the Purchaser and the Company, as applicable, under this Agreement all in accordance with the terms of this Section 9(z). Neither the Purchaser nor the Company, as applicable, shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, all in accordance with the terms of this Section 9(z).

(aa)             Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, and notwithstanding the fact that the Purchaser may be partnerships or limited liability companies, the Company hereto covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be had against any the Purchaser’s future, present or former Affiliates, or the Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ respective future, present or former officers, directors, managers, employees, partners, equityholders, controlling persons, members, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors or permitted assigns (the “Purchaser Parties”) (other than the Purchaser and its successors and Permitted Assignees under this Agreement), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the Purchaser Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of any party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however, nothing in this Section 9(aa) shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of the Purchaser or any of its successors or Permitted Assignees, for any breach or violation of its obligations under such agreements, documents or instruments. The liability limitation provision in this Section 9(aa) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS

The USA PATRIOT Act

The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.

To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.

What is money laundering?

Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.

How big is the problem and why is it important?

The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.

What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?

Under rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with such laws. As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING INFORMATION FORM

The following is required in accordance with the AML provision of the USA PATRIOT ACT.

 (Please fill out and return with requested documentation.)

* “Net worth” means the excess of total assets at fair market value (including personal and real property, but excluding the estimated fair market value of your primary home) over total liabilities. "Total liabilities" excludes any mortgage on the primary home in an amount of up to the home's estimated fair market value as long as the mortgage was incurred more than 60 days before the Securities are purchased, but includes (i) any mortgage amount in excess of the home's fair market value and (ii) any mortgage amount that was borrowed during the 60-day period before the closing date for the sale of the Securities for the purpose of investing in the Securities. “Spousal equivalent” means a cohabitant occupying a relationship generally equivalent to that of a spouse. “Joint net worth” is the aggregate net worth of a person and spouse or spousal equivalent; assets do not need to be held jointly to be included in the calculation.
