FOR VALUE RECEIVED Cannabis-Rx Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to [___] (“Holder”), the principal amount of [___] ($___) together with all accrued but unpaid interest, or such lesser amount as shall equal the then outstanding principal amount hereof together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, payable on the Loan Repayment Date.
