CONVERSION, REPAYMENT AND PARTICIPATION RIGHTS
Lender’s Conversion Right
6.1 Upon the latter of: (a) one year after granting of a medical marijuana dispensary license by the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission to the Borrower, or (b) one year after entering into this Agreement Lender may, in its sole discretion, subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.1, elect to convert all of the Indebtedness into the Preferred Units at a conversion price equal to the Indebtedness (a “Conversion”), subject to approval of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission (together, with Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b), the “Ownership Pre-Conditions”). The parties agree the spirit of this Section 6 is that Holder will finalize the Conversion as soon as possible and as near to the one-year mark post execution of the Loan Agreement. All Preferred Units so acquired on Conversion shall be issued within 5 days of notice and shall bear a legend restricting transfer for a period of one year from the Conversion and any other legend required under Applicable Securities Laws. Subject to the Lender’s remedies under Section 9.2 of this Agreement or under the Note, in the event that any of Ownership Pre-Conditions to Lender’s exercise of Conversion rights under this Section 6.1 fail to occur prior to the Maturity Date, then Borrower shall repay the loan plus accrued interest and any other amounts due hereunder or under the Convertible Note. In the event that any Interest payable as of the date of Conversion has not been paid to the Lender, such unpaid Interest shall remain a payment obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it shall be required to obtain, and the Lender covenants to provide all reasonable assistance to obtain, all necessary regulatory approvals from the applicable Governmental Authorities to engage in the Business, including, but not limited to, a medical marijuana dispensary license from the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission.
Repayment of Principal and Interest
6.2 Borrower shall pay Interest to Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.1.

| - 6 - |
Maturity Date Extension Option
6.3 Either the Borrower or the Lender may unilaterally extend the Maturity Date by one (1) year and may thereafter continue to extend the Maturity Date on a yearly basis by increments of one (1) year (each, an “Extension Option”) by providing written notice of the exercise of the Extension Option by the party seeking an extension to the other party prior to the expiration of the then-current Maturity Date, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall any extended Maturity Date extend beyond the expiration of the term of that certain Management Agreement of even date herewith between Nevada Medical Group, a Nevada limited liability company, and Comprehensive Care Group LLC, an Arkansas limited liability company. The Spirit of this Agreement is that the parties desire that a Conversion occur as soon as possible, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Neither party may unilaterally extend the Maturity Date, nor may it exercise an Extension Option, any time after the date of Conversion.
Prepayment
6.4 The Borrower is not entitled to prepay all or part of the principal before the Maturity Date without prior written approval of the Lender.
Manner of Payment
6.5 All payments to be made to the Lender hereunder will be made:

(b) and each party will be responsible for its own tax liabilities.
Allocation
6.6 Payments made by the Borrower in respect of the Advances and moneys realized from any security held therefor, including moneys realized from enforcement, shall be applied firstly against the costs of collection upon default, if any, then the interest accrued to the date of such payment and lastly, against the principal amount.
Payments
