WHEREAS , the Company and all the individuals who have been sued by COHEN in the Cohen Case categorically and vehemently deny all of COHEN’s claims and allegations, have maintained that the allegations are false, and were prepared to assert counterclaims of their own until this resolution and COHEN’s retraction of certain of these allegations was achieved;

WHEREAS , Golden Dragon Holding Company initiated an action against COHEN for libel and tortious interference with its business relationships in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, which was assigned Case No. 1:14-cv-07073-RMB-AMD (“the Golden Dragon Case”);

14. Mutual Non-Disparagement and Non Admission. CPRx and COHEN agree not to make, publish or communicate publicly any false or intentionally disparaging remarks or statements about the other. For CPRx and its related entities, such obligation will only apply to their then directors and officers while they are holding such positions with CPRx, and that only the corporate entity, not any individual officer or director, will be subject to liability for any violation of this obligation. The Parties also agree that neither is admitting to any liability owed to the other. For the avoidance of doubt, COHEN acknowledges that the statements described in paragraph 4 of this Agreement are not false and do not disparage him, and the Company’s distribution of the press release and letter as set forth in Paragraph 4 above are not a breach of the Company’s non-disparagement obligations.

15. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. COHEN acknowledges that the confidential information and trade secrets of the Company, including business and financial information, plans, ideas, programs, designs, drawings, methods, materials, equipment, customer lists, inventions, processes, files, materials, and the like, are valuable assets of the Company, the disclosure of which to those outside the Company could cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Company. COHEN therefore agrees that except upon the prior written consent from the Company, he will not use, convey, or disclose to any person, corporation or entity any such confidential information or trade secrets that he may have acquired or gained access to while he was associated with the Company.

16. Non-Interference with Gary Cohen’s Legally Protected Rights. The Company and COHEN understand and agree that nothing in this Agreement interferes with or in any way restricts the Parties’ legal rights to participate or cooperate truthfully in any inquiry, investigation or proceeding by any federal, state or local government agency charged with the enforcement of any laws. The Company and COHEN agree, however, that COHEN is releasing and waiving any right or demand to recover for himself (as COHEN is defined in this Agreement) any monetary damages, award, or other legal or equitable relief in connection with any such inquiry, investigation, or proceeding.

17. Return of Company Property. By or before the effective date of the Agreement, COHEN shall return to the Company, in a manner and at a location as the Company directs, all property of the Company of any kind in his possession or under his control, including but not limited to all computers, laptops, computer passwords, phones, keys, credit cards, book displays, marketing materials), and any hard copies and electronic business records. By signing this Agreement, COHEN acknowledges that he has not kept possession of, or deleted, destroyed, encrypted, downloaded, emailed, or copied, any of the Company’s electronic business information for the purpose of using, possessing or disclosing the same for any personal, business or other purpose following his separation from CPRx.

18. Cooperation in Legal Matters. For the seventeen-month period following the effective date of this Agreement, COHEN agrees that upon reasonable notice from the Company, he will make himself available to the Company, and cooperate with and assist the Company, in connection with any proceeding before a federal, state, or local governmental agency, or in any arbitration or court of law, pertaining to any matter for which he has knowledge or information as a result of his affiliation with the Company through the effective date of this Agreement. In the event that a subpoena or other lawful process is properly served upon COHEN requiring production or disclosure of information or documents concerning the foregoing matters, COHEN or his legal counsel shall promptly notify the Company’s President, in writing, and provide the President with copies of any subpoena or other process served upon him. COHEN shall thereafter make such documents available to the Company for inspection and copying at a reasonable time and place designated by the Company prior to their production. In the event that the subpoena or other process requires testimony or statements from COHEN, COHEN agrees to meet, telephonically or in person, with attorneys or agents designated by the Company, at a time and place designated by the Company and prior to the testimony, for the purpose of discussing such testimony. Nothing herein shall give the Company the right to control or dictate the content of any testimony given by COHEN, or any documents produced by him, it being understood that COHEN shall testify truthfully and shall provide all information lawfully required of him. In the event that the Company requires any information or testimony from COHEN in connection with any claim made against the Company, or any claims made by the Company against persons or entities not party to this Agreement, COHEN agrees to cooperate reasonably but fully with the Company,

Page 5

including: (a) appearing at any trial, hearing, deposition or arbitration; (b) meeting telephonically or in person with attorneys or agents designated by the Company, at a time and place designated by the Company and prior to the testimony, for the purpose of discussing such testimony and any other matters relating to the claim; and (c) providing the Company with any documentation in COHEN’s custody or control. The Company agrees to reimburse COHEN for reasonable costs, pre-approved by the Company, that he incurs in assisting the Company in the foregoing matters. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Paragraph shall not apply to any action brought under this Agreement.

19. Adequate Consideration. COHEN agrees that the covenants and promises made by him in this Agreement are in consideration of the payment and other promises made hereunder by the Company, which he acknowledges to be sufficient, just and adequate consideration for his covenants and promises. COHEN further acknowledges that, but for his execution of this Agreement, he would not be entitled to the settlement payment or Settlement Shares being provided to him under this Agreement.

20. Non-Disclosure. The Parties agree not to disclose the terms of this Agreement publicly except as may be required by law, in any SEC filing or other similarly required public disclosure or release, or as CPRx may reasonably need to do so for business purposes (such as in a discussion with a future investor or shareholder, etc.). COHEN agrees not to disclose the terms of the Agreement to anyone other than his counsel, tax or financial advisors, immediate family members (or current girlfriend), subject to each of their respective agreements to keep the terms strictly confidential and to not disclose the terms to any other person or entity.

21. Relief for Breach. The Parties agree that if either Party at any time asserts that any of the terms of this Agreement have been violated, that Party shall have the right to seek specific performance of such term or terms, appropriate injunctive relief to prevent a breach of the term or terms, and any other necessary and proper relief, including monetary damages, from any court of competent jurisdiction, and that the prevailing Party (by court judgment, order, verdict or a private settlement) shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs (including discovery costs), expenses and attorney’s fees incurred in connection with any such legal and/or equitable action.

22. Governing Law and Interpretation. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with New Jersey law, that any action brought by any Party hereunder may be instituted and maintained only in the appropriate federal or state court located in New Jersey where CPRx maintains its headquarters, and that the Parties consent and agree to the personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction of either such court, and that this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and not strictly for or against any Party.

23. Modification, Waiver and Assignment. This Agreement shall not be changed, modified, terminated, canceled or amended except by a written instrument signed by both CPRx and COHEN. The failure to exercise or a delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof. The Parties agree that the Company, but not COHEN, may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without notice to or consent from COHEN.

Tampa, Florida – The lawsuit filed in Florida on October 30, 2014 against CannaPharmaRx, Gary Herick, Gerry Crocker, Jim Smeeding, Mat Sherwood and Bo Liess by former CannaPharmaRx executive Gary M. Cohen has been resolved and dismissed. The parties amicably resolved their differences before any discovery occurred or before any decision by the court on the merits of any claims.

In addition, Golden Dragon Holding Co. and Mr. Cohen have resolved their differences in Golden Dragon’s lawsuit filed against Mr. Cohen on November 11, 2014 in New Jersey. Golden Dragon has dismissed its claims of libel and tortious interference. In his answer to the complaint, Mr. Cohen maintained that he had not libeled Golden Dragon or tortiously interfered with its business relationships.
