AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENTS
This Amendment to Agreements (the “Amendment”) is made this 6th day of October, 2016, by and between CLS Holdings USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Old Main Capital, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Investor”).
WHEREAS, on March 18, 2016, the Company and the Investor entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to purchase up to $555,555 in principal amount of original issue discount 10% convertible promissory notes (the “10% Notes”) from the Company in up to five tranches as set forth therein;
WHEREAS, on March 18, 2016, the Company executed an 8% convertible promissory note (the “8% Note”) in favor of the Investor as a commitment fee for the Investor’s agreement to provide certain equity line financing to the Company;
WHEREAS, on March 18, 2016, the Company and the Investor entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the re-sale of the shares of its common stock underlying the 10% Notes and the 8% Note, including shares of common stock that might be issued to pay interest on the 10% Notes and 8% Note, pursuant to a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”);
WHEREAS, on April 18, 2016, the Company and the Investor entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to provide an equity line of financing to the Company in the maximum amount of $4,000,000 over a period of 24 months (the Securities Purchase Agreement, 10% Notes, 8% Note and Equity Purchase Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Agreements”);
WHEREAS, the Company has filed the Registration Statement with the SEC as required by the Registration Rights Agreement, but such Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective; and
WHEREAS, the parties now desire to amend the terms of the Agreements in certain respects and cause the Company to withdraw from the Registration Statement the re-sale of the shares of its common stock underlying the 10% Notes and the 8% Note with the expectation that such changes will result in the prompt effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Amendment, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investor hereby agree as follows:
|

The Securities Purchase Agreement shall be amended to delete the Company’s obligation to register the Registrable Securities (as defined therein) and to reduce the aggregate amount of 10% Notes to be issued thereunder from $555,555 to $333,333, which the Company and the Investor acknowledge have already been issued. Additionally, the reference to “Transaction Documents” in Section 5.19 of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be replaced with “Notes”.
