”) among the Company ,GB Sciences Nevada LLC (“

B.
Notice of Prepayment.
Before the Company shall be permitted to prepay this Note pursuant to 1A hereof, the Company shall provide thirty (30) days prior notice to the Payee of its intent to make such prepayment, which notice shall state the date and amount of such prepayment (the “
Prepayment Date

Maximum Rate
”), then such interest shall be recalculated for the period in question and any excess over the Maximum Rate paid with respect to such period shall be credited, without further agreement or notice, to the Principal Amount outstanding hereunder to reduce said balance by such amount with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Payee had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment. All such deemed prepayments shall be applied to the principal balance payable at maturity. In no event shall any agreed-to or actual exaction as consideration for this Note exceed the limits imposed or provided by Applicable Usury Laws in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident applicable to the use or detention of money or to forbearance in seeking its collection in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident.

5.
Conversion of Note
.
A.
Optional Conversion
. The Holder of this Note shall have the option, at any time and from time to time, prior to the date on which the Company makes payment in full of the Principal Amount of this Note in accordance herewith, all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable thereunder to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (such Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest to be so converted the “
Conversion Amount
”) into shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“
Common Stock
”), of the Company at an initial conversion price per share equal to $0.25 per share (the “
Conversion Price
”), subject to adjustment as provided in subsection 5F below. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at the Conversion Price are referred to herein as the “
Conversion Shares
.”
B.
Conversion Limitation
. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The Holder may void the Conversion Share limitation described in this Section 5B upon 65 days prior notice to the Company or without any notice requirement upon an Event of Default.
C.
Mechanics of Conversion
.
(i)
Before the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5A, such holder shall give written notice to the Company in the form attached hereto as
Annex A
(“
Conversion Notice
”), at its principal corporate office, by email, facsimile or otherwise, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the Conversion Amount and the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. On or before the third (3rd) business day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall (A) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the then existing provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“
Rule 144
”) and provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company's (“
DTC
”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC, or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant the Rule 144.
(ii)
All Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Note will, upon issuance, be duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
D.
Authorized Shares
. At all times the Company shall have authorized and shall have reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Principal Amount outstanding under this Note at the then effective Conversion Price. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if, at any time, the Conversion Price is decreased, the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance upon the conversion of this Note shall be proportionately increased.
E.
Failure to Timely Deliver Shares
. If within five (5) business days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile or email copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of this Note (a “
Conversion Failure
”), the Company shall pay to the Holder $3,000 per day until the Company issues and delivers a certificate to the Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any portion of the Principal Amount of this Note. If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in this Section, resulting in a Conversion Failure, the Holder, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular Conversion Notice attributable to the unsold shares.
F.
Anti-Dilution Provisions
. The Conversion Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
(i)
In case the Company shall hereafter (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(ii)
Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Subsection (i) above, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the number of Conversion Shares initially issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Conversion Price in effect on the date hereof and dividing the product so obtained by the Conversion Price, as adjusted.
(iii)
In case of any reorganization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (including any such reorganization, reclassification or change in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into, any other entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), or of any sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person or entity, this Note shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or sale by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note would have been converted prior to such transaction. The provisions of this subsection (iii) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers or sales immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or sale.
6.
Amendments and Waivers
.
A.

No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Payee shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.
C.
To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Payee, and such payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently for any reason invalidated, set aside and/or required to be repaid by the Payee to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made by the Payee or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
7.

D.
Pursuant to the Original Royalty Agreement, PACIFIC LEAF has provided the Intellectual Property to GBS Delaware for the use of GBS Nevada in its operations in the State of Nevada.

1.2
Royalty Payments
. In consideration of the transfer by PACIFIC LEAF of the Intellectual Property pursuant to the Section 1.1, and the Support provided by PACIFIC LEAF to GBS Nevada and GBS Delaware, during the period (the “Royalty Period”) commencing on the Effective Date and ending ten (10) years after the date the first royalty payment in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) is made to PACIFIC LEAF pursuant to this Agreement (the “First Royalty Payment Date”), GBS Nevada shall pay to PACIFIC LEAF within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter an amount equal to the Royalty Rate (defined below) multiplied by the gross sales revenues of GBS Nevada and its subsidiaries from all sources during the preceding fiscal quarters, including, without limitation (i) from the sale of cannabis produced at the Teco Facility, (ii) from the sale of its cannabis at dispensaries operated by GBS Partners, and (iii) received by it in respect of the Profits Interest issued to under the GBS Partners Agreements.

provided, however
, that following the later of (i) the seventh anniversary of the First Royalty Payment Date, and (ii) the date that all amounts outstanding under the Note have been repaid in full, the Royalty Rate shall be reduced by 50%.
1.3

1.5
Good Faith and Fair Dealing.
GBS Delaware and GBS Nevada further agree that the royalty payments provided by this Agreement shall be paid in good faith and with fair dealing and that GBS Delaware and GBS Nevada will not enter into any arrangement to modify pricing or transfer sales or revenue that would have the effect of depriving PACIFIC LEAF of the full payment of royalties due under this Agreement.

The audit may be performed once during any calendar quarter by any person or persons designated by PACIFIC LEAF during regular business hours and in a manner that does not materially interfere with the operations of GBS Delaware and GBS Nevada.
