Each of the Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdiction of incorporation. Each Subsidiary has full power and authority to own, operate and occupy its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted and is registered or qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or transacts business and where the failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.6Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, do not (i) contravene or conflict with any certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, any certificate of designations or other constituent documents of the Company or any Subsidiary, or the bylaws of the Company; (ii) assuming the accuracy of the

representations and warranties made by the Investor in Section 3 hereof, constitute a violation in any respect of any provision of any federal, state, local or foreign law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary; or (iii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) or require any consent under, give rise to any right of termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration of, or to a loss of any material benefit to which the Company or any Subsidiary is entitled under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, claim or encumbrance on any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary under, any contract to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or any permit, license or similar right relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or by which the Company or any Subsidiary may be bound or affected.

2.7Compliance with Law and Charter Documents; Regulatory Permits. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation or default of any provisions of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or similar organizational document, as applicable. The Company and each Subsidiary have materially complied and are currently in material compliance with all applicable judgments, decrees, statutes, laws, rules, regulations and orders of the United States of America and all states thereof, foreign countries and other governmental bodies and agencies having jurisdiction over the Company’s or each Subsidiary’s business or property (“Laws”), and the neither Company nor any Subsidiary has received notice that it is in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority applicable to it, other than U.S. Federal Law governing the production and sale of cannabis. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default (and there exists no condition which, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute a default) in any material respect in the performance of any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the properties of the Company and any Subsidiary are bound, which default would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each Subsidiary possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct its business as described in the SEC Documents (as defined below), except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and neither Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit.

2.8SEC Documents.

2.8.1Reports. The Company has filed on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) XXXXX system, prior to the date hereof, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 (the “Form 10-K”), its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018 (the “Form 10-Qs”), and any Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-Ks”) required to be filed by the Company with the SEC for events occurring during the two (2) years prior to the date hereof (the Form 10-K, Form 10-Qs and Form 8-Ks, together with all exhibits, schedules and other attachments that are filed with such documents, are collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”). Each SEC Document, as of its date (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior

to the Closing Date, then on the date of such filing), did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each SEC Document, as it may have been subsequently amended by filings made by the Company with the SEC prior to the date hereof, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Document. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form and substance in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied in the United States (“GAAP”), during the periods involved (except in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements), correspond to the books and records of the Company and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. The Company is not required to file and will not be required to file any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument entered into prior to the date of this Agreement and to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound which has not been previously filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the SEC Documents.

2.8.2Sarbanes-Oxley. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have signed, and the Company has furnished to the SEC, all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 as of the date hereof. Such certifications contain no exceptions to the matters certified therein and have not been modified or withdrawn; and neither the Company nor any of its officers has received notice from any governmental entity questioning or challenging the accuracy of such certifications. The Company is otherwise in compliance with all applicable effective provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations issued thereunder by the SEC.

2.9Absence of Certain Changes. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents or Schedule 2.9, since March 31, 2018, the business and operations of the Company and each Subsidiary have been conducted in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, and there has not been:

2.9.1any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or other distribution of the assets of the Company with respect to any shares of capital stock of the Company;

2.9.2any repurchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Company of any outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock;

2.9.3any reduction in the Company’s ownership interest in, or distribution rights as a member of, GBSN;

2.9.4any damage, destruction or loss to the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s properties or assets, whether or not covered by insurance, except for such occurrences,

individually and collectively, that have not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect;

2.9.5any waiver by the Company or any Subsidiary of a valuable right or of a material debt owed to it, except for such waivers, individually and collectively, that have not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect;

2.9.6any material change by the Company in its accounting principles, methods or practices or in the manner in which it keeps its accounting books and records, except any such change required by a change in GAAP or by the SEC;

2.9.7any material change or amendment to, or any waiver of any material right under a material contract or arrangement by which the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their assets or properties are bound or subject that could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

2.9.8any other event or condition of any character, except for such events and conditions that have not resulted, and are not reasonably expected to result either individually or collectively, in a Material Adverse Effect;

2.9.9any sale of any assets, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $10,000 outside of the ordinary course of business; or

2.9.10any capital expenditures, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $10,000 outside of the ordinary course of business.

2.10Intellectual Property. To the Company’s knowledge, the Company and each Subsidiary own or possess sufficient rights to use all patents, patent rights, inventions, trade secrets, know-how, trademarks, or other intellectual property (collectively, “Intellectual Property”), which are necessary to conduct their business as currently conducted, except where the failure to own or possess such rights would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has infringed any patents of others with respect to any Intellectual Property which, either individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no patent owned or licensed by the Company or any Subsidiary is unenforceable or invalid. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to any Intellectual Property. The Company has no actual knowledge of any infringement or improper use by any third party with respect to any Intellectual Property of the Company or any Subsidiary which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of such of its Intellectual Property as the Company is required to keep secret. None of the Company’s Intellectual Property has expired or terminated. All of the patent assignments concerning the Intellectual Property which are of record in the United States Patent and Trademark Office as to which the Company is the assignee are believed to be valid and binding obligations of the assignor(s).

3.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTOR

The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

3.1Experience. The Investor understands that the Note and the Conversion Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Note as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Note or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Note in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Note in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Investor’s right to sell the Note pursuant to a registration statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).

3.2Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Note and the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein. The Investor understands that the offering and sale of the Note is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Investor contained in this Agreement. The Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Note, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Investor’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

3.3Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Note, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it converts the Note it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Investor is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

3.4Experience of Investor. The Investor, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Note, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Investor is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Note and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Investor represents and warrants that Investor has only relied on information set forth in the SEC Documents and this Agreement in connection with Investor’s investment in the Note.

3.5Ability to Bear Risk. The Investor understands and agrees that purchase of the Note is a high risk investment and the Investor is able to afford an investment in a speculative venture having the risks and objectives of the Company, including a risk of total loss of such investment. The Investor has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Investor’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Investor’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Note will not cause such commitment to become excessive. This investment is a suitable one for the Investor. The Investor must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Note indefinitely because neither the Note nor the Conversion Shares may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

3.6Approval. The Purchaser understands that neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the sale of the Note or Conversion Shares or passed upon or confirmed the accuracy or determined the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.

3.7Disclosure of Information. The Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Note and the business, prospects, properties and financial condition of the Company.

3.8Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Note and the Conversion Shares may bear one or all of the following legends:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED, OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.”

3.9Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of the Agreement has been duly authorized by all requisite action of the Investor. The Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Investor, shall constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with their terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

4.INVESTOR’S CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

The Investor’s obligation to make the Initial Advance under the Note at the Closing, and to make Additional Advances under the Note is, at the option of the Investor, subject to the fulfillment of the following conditions:

4.1Representations and Warranties True and Correct. The representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2 hereof shall be true and correct as of the date of such Advance, with the same effect as if made as of such date.

4.2Board Approval. The Company shall have delivered to the Investor evidence of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Board of Directors of the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Investor and its counsel.

4.3Covenants. All covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement to be performed by the Company on or prior to such date shall have been performed or complied with.

5.2Covenants. All covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement to be performed by the Investor on or prior to such date shall have been performed or complied with.

6.COVENANTS.

6.1Reserve for Conversion Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Note and otherwise complying with the terms of this Agreement, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Note from time to time outstanding or otherwise to comply with the terms of this Agreement. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Note or otherwise to comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Company will forthwith take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall

be sufficient for such purposes. The Company will obtain any authorization, consent, approval or other action by or make any filing with any court or governmental authority that may be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note.

6.2Relationship With GBSN and GBSLV. Until all amounts outstanding under the Note have been repaid in full, the Company shall not, without the written approval of Investor, allow any reduction of its membership interest or distribution rights in GBSN or GBSLV.

6.3Inspection Rights. Investor (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during usual business hours, to inspect the books and records of the Company and each Subsidiary and to make copies thereof, and the right to check, test, and inspect all equipment, materials, and facilities of the Company and each Subsidiary.

6.4Further Assurances. The Company shall cure promptly any defects in the creation and issuance of the Note and the Conversion Shares, and in the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents. The Company, at its expense, shall execute and deliver promptly to the Investor upon request all such other and further documents, agreements and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to permit the Company to comply with its covenants and agreements herein, and shall make any recordings, file any notices and obtain any consents as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith.

6.5Registrations Rights.

6.5.1Required Registration. The Company shall, no later than ten calendar days following the Effective Date (the “Filing Deadline”), prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act (the “Required Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Conversion Shares, and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter and to keep such registration statement effective until such time as the Conversion Shares have been sold or may be sold under Rule 144 without volume limitation. If (i) the Required Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, (ii) the Required Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC for any reason on or prior to the 90^th day following the Effective Date, or (iii) at any time after it is declared effective, (A) the Required Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective or (B) the Investor is not otherwise permitted to utilize the prospectus therein to resell the Conversion Shares for any reason for more than an aggregate of twenty (20) consecutive trading days (any such event under clauses (i)-(iii) being a “Registration Default”), then in addition to any other rights the Investor may have hereunder, under the Note or under applicable law, upon such Registration Default and on each monthly anniversary thereof (until such Registration Default is cured or the Conversion Shares are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without volume limitation), the Company shall pay to the Investor, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the aggregate Advances that have been made under the Note with respect to Conversion Shares then held by the Investor or issuable under the Note.

6.5.2Right to Include Conversion Shares. In addition, each time that the Company proposes for any reason to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act, either for its own account or for the account of a stockholder or stockholders, other than Registration Statements on Forms S-4 or S-8 (or similar or successor forms), other than pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 previously filed with the SEC (a “Proposed Registration”), and at such time the Conversion Shares are not subject to an effective registration statement under Section 6.5.1., the Company shall promptly give written notice of such Proposed Registration to the Investor (which notice shall be given in no event less than ten (10) days prior to the expected filing date of the Proposed Registration) and shall offer Investor the right to request inclusion of any of such Investor’s Conversion Shares in the Proposed Registration. The rights to piggyback registration may be exercised on an unlimited number of occasions.

6.5.3Piggyback Procedure. The Investor shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of the Company’s notice referred to in Section 6.5.2 above to deliver to the Company a written request specifying the number of Conversion Shares such Investor intends to sell and such Investor’s intended method of disposition. The Investor shall have the right to withdraw such Investor’s request for inclusion of Investor’s Conversion Shares in any Proposed Registration pursuant to this Section 6.4 by giving written notice to the Company of such withdrawal; provided, however, that the Company may ignore a notice of withdrawal made within less than one full business day prior to the date the Proposed Registration is scheduled to become effective. Subject to Section 6.5.5 below, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such Proposed Registration all such Conversion Shares so requested to be included therein; provided, however, that the Company may at any time withdraw or cease proceeding with any such Proposed Registration if it shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration of all other shares of Common Stock originally proposed to be registered.

6.5.4Selection of Underwriters. The managing underwriter for any Proposed Registration that involves an underwritten public offering shall be one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks selected by the Company.

6.5.5Priority for Piggyback Registration.

6.5.5.1Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.5, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten public offering determines and advises the Company and the Investor in writing that the inclusion of all Conversion Shares proposed to be included by the Investor in the underwritten public offering would materially and adversely interfere with the successful marketing of the Company’s securities in the Proposed Registration, then the Investor shall not be permitted to include any Conversion Shares in excess of the amount, if any, of Conversion Shares which the managing underwriter of such underwritten public offering shall reasonably and in good faith agree in writing to include in such public offering in addition to the amount of securities to be registered for the Company. The securities to be included in a Proposed Registration initiated by the Company shall be allocated: first, to the Company; second, to the Investor, and third, to any others requesting registration of securities of the Company.

6.5.5.2Notwithstanding any portion of the foregoing to the contrary, in no event shall the shares to be sold by the Investor be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in the Proposed Registration. No stockholder of the Company shall be granted piggyback registration rights which would reduce the number of shares to be included by the Investor in such registration without the consent of the Investor.

6.5.5.3If as a result of the provisions of this Section 6.5, the Investor shall not be entitled to include more than 50% of its Conversion Shares in a registration that such Investor has requested to be so included, such Investor may withdraw such Investor’s request to include Conversion Shares in such Proposed Registration.

6.5.6Underwritten Offering. In the event that the Proposed Registration by the Company is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of securities of the Company, any request under this Section 6.5 shall specify that the Conversion Shares be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the shares, if any, otherwise being sold through the underwriters under such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the managing underwriter in any underwritten public offering shall notify the Company that inclusion of all or any portion of the Conversion Shares in such Proposed Registration would, in its opinion, adversely affect the potential success of such public offering and the marketability of the securities offered for the account of the Company, the Company may, upon written notice to the Investor, exclude all or a portion of the Conversion Shares from such Proposed Registration, as requested by such managing underwriter; provided, that (a) if any other Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock are also intended to be offered for resale by any other selling stockholder(s) in such Proposed Registration (the “Other Registrable Securities”), such Other Registrable Securities shall similarly be excluded from such Proposed Registration, and (b) if the Company or such managing underwriter shall permit a portion of the Conversion Shares and Other Registrable Securities to be included in the Proposed Registration (collectively, the “Permitted Selling Shares”), then the Investor shall be entitled to include in the Proposed Registration a pro-rata portion of the Conversion Shares (determined by the amount by which the number of Conversion Shares to be included bears to the total number of all Permitted Selling Shares).

6.5.7Statutory Cutback. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines and advises the Investor in writing that the inclusion of all securities proposed to be included by the Investor in any Proposed Registration would materially and adversely interfere with the potential effectiveness of such Proposed Registration, whether as a result of the interpretation of Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, or otherwise, then the Investor shall not be permitted to include any securities in excess of its pro rata amount (vis-à-vis all other investors as a whole), if any, of securities which the Company shall reasonably and in good faith agree in writing to include in such offering.

7.INDEMNIFICATION.

The Company hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold harmless the Investor and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively herein called the “Indemnitees” and individually called an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable

attorney’s fees and disbursements (collectively herein called the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, any misrepresentation or breach of or default in connection with any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements given or made by the Company in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
