The issuance and sale of the Note will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to issue any securities to any Person (other than the Lender) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities.

The Lender acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other person offered to sell the Notes to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to: (i) any advertisement, article, notice, or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

(h)Confidentiality. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement and its advisors who have agreed to keep information confidential or have a fiduciary obligation to keep such information confidential, the Lender has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with the transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

(i)Foreign Lender. If the Lender is not a United States person, the Lender represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Note or any use of this Agreement, including: (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of any Note, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of any Note.

If required under Canadian securities legislation, the information provided by the Lender in Section 5.04 identifying among other things, the name, address, telephone number and email address of the Lender, the securities issued or issuable hereunder, the Loan, the Closing Date and the exemption that the Lender is relying on in connection with the issuance hereunder will be disclosed to the Canadian securities regulatory authorities, and such information is being indirectly collected by the Canadian securities regulatory authorities under the authority granted to it under Canadian securities legislation.

Inquiries Officer

(j)    Information from Company. The Lender and its investment managers, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to obtain any information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations or information presented by the Company in this Agreement and have had all inquiries to the Company answered, and have been furnished all requested materials, relating to the Company and the Offering and sale of the Notes and anything set forth in the Transaction Documents. Neither the Lender nor the Lender’s investment managers, if any, have been furnished any offering literature by the Company or any of its Affiliates, associates, or agents other than the Transaction Documents, and the agreements referenced therein.

(k)    Speculative Nature of Investment; Risk Factors. THE LENDER UNDERSTANDS THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. The Lender acknowledges that: (i) any projections, forecasts or estimates as may have been provided to the Lender are purely speculative and cannot be relied upon to indicate actual results that may be obtained through this investment; any such projections, forecasts and estimates are based upon assumptions which are subject to change and which are beyond the control of the Company or its management, (ii) the tax effects which may be expected by this investment are not susceptible to absolute prediction, and new developments and rules of the Internal Revenue Service, audit adjustment, court decisions or legislative changes may have an adverse effect on one or more of the tax consequences of this investment, and (iii) the Lender has been advised to consult with his own advisor regarding legal matters and tax consequences involving this investment. The Lender represents that the Lender’s investment objective is speculative in that the Lender seeks the maximum total return through an investment in a broad spectrum of securities, which involves a higher degree of risk than other investment styles and therefore the Lender’s risk exposure is also speculative. The Notes offered hereby are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk and Lender should only purchase these securities if Lender can afford to lose their entire investment.

    

(l) Money Laundering. The operations of the Lender are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, applicable money laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no Action or Proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Lender with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Lender, threatened.

Section 4.01     Conversion Procedures. In connection with any full or partial conversion of the Notes resulting in the issuance of Conversion Shares, or a legend removal in accordance with Section 4.02(c) below, as applicable, the following procedures shall apply:

(a)For so long as the Company shall have available one of the five (5) Grace Periods set forth in the Notes in which to make a required installment payment under any of the Notes in order to avoid an Event of Default thereunder, the Lender shall provide the Company during such Grace Periods with not less than three (3) Business Days prior notice of Lender's intent to convert all or any portion of the Notices; and

(b)within one (1) trading day following the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice following an Acceleration Event, the Company shall provide written instructions to its transfer agent substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (the “Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue and deliver electronically to Depositary Trust Company by DWAC the applicable number of Conversion Shares registered in the name of the Lender, representing such number of Conversion Shares as calculated in accordance with the Conversion Price formula.

The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 4.01 will cause irreparable harm to the Lender. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 4.01 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 4.01, that the Lender shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Section 4.02    Transfer Restrictions.

(a)The Notes and Conversion Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with applicable state, provincial and federal securities laws in the United States and Canada, and the policies of the Exchange. In connection with any transfer of any Note other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Note and Conversion Shares under the Securities Act. As a condition of such sale or transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of Lender under this Agreement. In the event that any transfer of any Note is pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144 or Regulation S, the transfer agent shall issue such shares to the Lender, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 4.02(c) below.

(b)The Lender agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.01, of a legend on any of the Note, Conversion Shares in the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION OR PROSPECTUS REQUIREMENTS AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND CANADIAN SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY THIS SECURITY.

    (c) The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.02, the Company will, no later than one (1) trading day following the delivery by the Lender to the Company of a certificate representing the Conversion Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lender a book entry or DWAC statement representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.02. Conversion Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Lender by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the DTC or CDS, as applicable, as directed by such Purchaser.

Section 4.03    Use of Proceeds; Restrictions on Certain Payments. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder only to: (a) pay the fees and expenses related to the sale of the Notes, (b) for general working capital purposes, and (c) for general corporate purposes (other than the payment of dividends or distributions). Until all obligations owed to the Lender under the Notes shall have been paid in full, except for the payment of the weekly installments under any of the Notes and the payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices the Company may not use such proceeds: (i) for the satisfaction of any other portion of the Company’s Indebtedness, (ii) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents; (iii) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation; (iv) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations; (v) to pay any dividends or distributions to any stockholder or other Person, or (v) to lend, give credit or make advances to any officers, directors, employees or Affiliates of the Company, including Gold Flora Acquisition Fund 1, LLC, a California limited liability company and its subsidiary entities that are not wholly owned by the Company.

Section 4.05    [Intentionally Omitted.]

Section 4.06    Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of any Note to the Lender in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of any Note to the Lender.

Section 4.07    Publicity. The Company and the Lender shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases and SEC Reports with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Lender shall issue any such press release or SEC Report nor otherwise make

any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company with respect to any press release of the Lender, or without the prior consent of the Lender with respect to any press release or SEC Report of the Company mentioning the Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement, SEC Report or communication.

Section 4.08    Indemnification of Lender. The Company shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Lender and its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents (and any other persons with other titles that have similar functions) (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from: (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents and (ii) any action instituted against such Indemnitee in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Indemnitee, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Indemnitee’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Indemnitee may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Indemnitee of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Indemnitee which results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 4.09    Reservation of Conversion Shares. The Company shall within 90 days of the Closing Date, call a special meeting of its stockholders and use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) obtain stockholder approval for an increase in authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company or a reverse stock split sufficient to allow the Company to maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of its Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Notes in such amount, as shall be 200% of the Maximum Conversion Shares, as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Notes, and (b) to obtain the approvals contemplated by Section 4.10 below. In each case, the board of directors shall recommend that the stockholders vote FOR such proposals. For the avoidance of doubt, if on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock of the Company is less than 200% of the Maximum Conversion Shares on such date, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of its Common Stock to at least the Maximum Conversion Shares at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 90th day after such date.

Section 4.10     Limitations on Conversion. No conversion of the Notes, whether in whole or in part, shall be permitted where the number of securities of the Company issuable upon such conversion (calculated on a fully diluted basis) is equal to more than 24.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding at the time of conversion (calculated on a non-diluted basis) (the “Maximum Conversion Percentage”). If stockholder approval of any conversion in excess of the Maximum Conversion Percentage is required by the rules of any Exchange, the Company shall not later than sixty (60) day following receipt of a written request from the Lender call a special meeting of its stockholders and the board of directors shall recommend that the stockholders vote FOR such additional conversion. No conversion of the Notes, whether in whole or in part, shall be permitted unless such conversion is in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange and applicable securities laws. Any outstanding principal amount not converted into Common Stock, including by reason of this Section 4.10, shall continue to be repayable in accordance with the terms of the applicable Transaction Documents.

Section 5.01    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Lender by written notice to the Company if the Closing has not been consummated on or before 3rd Business Day after the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by both parties; provided that such termination will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party.

Section 5.02    Fees and Expenses. The Company shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with its negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses, transfer agent fees, fees for stock quotation services, fees relating to any amendments or modifications of the Transaction Documents or any consents or waivers of provisions in the Transaction Documents, fees for the preparation of opinions of counsel, escrow fees, and costs of restructuring the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. When possible, the Company must pay these fees directly, including, but not limited to, any and all wire fees, otherwise the Company must make prompt payment for reimbursement to the Lender for all fees and expenses upon written notice by the Lender or the submission of an invoice by the Lender. In addition, the Company shall pay (i) to the Lender’s counsel in respect of their fees and expenses in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and (ii) the origination fee of $286,000 to the Lender; and (iii) the Monitoring Fee, as specified hereinabove.

Section 5.03    Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

Section 5.04    Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the others shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by or email:

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

Section 5.06    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (other than by merger). The Lender may (i) assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom the Lender assigns or transfers the Notes upon the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, provided that such consent shall not be required during the continuation of any Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) or with respect to any assignment to an Affiliate of Lender), and/or (ii) participate any of such rights in connection with granting of any participation of the Notes, provided that such transfer or participation complies with all applicable federal and State Securities Laws and that any such transferee or participant agrees in writing by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the Lender.

Section 5.07    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

Section 5.08    Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Utah, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the federal and state courts sitting in the County of Salt Lake, Utah (the “Utah Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Utah Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, Action or

Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such Utah Courts, or such Utah Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.

Section 5.09    Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Note.

Section 5.10    Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page was an original thereof.

Section 5.11    Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

Section 5.12    Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever the Lender exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Lender may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

Section 5.13    Reserved.

Section 5.14    Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Lender and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the

Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

Section 5.15    Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Lender pursuant to any Transaction Document or the Lender enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 5.16    Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply after the conversion of any Common Stock into Conversion Shares.

Section 5.17    Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

If any provision of any confidentiality agreement, non-disclosure agreement or other similar agreement between any Loan

Party and Lender conflicts with or contradicts this Section 5.19 with respect to the treatment of confidential information, this section shall supersede all such prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties.

Section 5.20 Cannabis Laws. The Company and Lender acknowledge (x) that the cultivation, production, sale, manufacture, distribution, possession, and use of cannabis is illegal under Federal Cannabis Laws and other U.S. federal laws, rules, and regulations, including (without limitation) (i) the investment in a company engaging in such activities, (ii) making a loan to a Person affiliated to such activities, and (iii) entering into a transaction, contract, or other agreement with a Person affiliated with such activities, and (y) that some or all of the Transaction Documents and some or all of the transactions contemplated thereby may violate or be in violation of Federal Cannabis Laws or other U.S. federal laws, rules, or regulations concerning cannabis or the cannabis industry.  Given the foregoing and notwithstanding Federal Cannabis Laws and any other U.S. federal laws, rules, and regulations, the Company and the Lender hereby (A) EXPRESSLY WAIVES any defense to the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document based upon non-conformance with, or violation of, any Federal Cannabis Laws or any other applicable laws, rules, or regulations relating to cannabis or the cannabis industry, and (B) agrees, acknowledges, and affirms that no such non-conformance with, or violation of, any Federal Cannabis Law or any other applicable laws, rules, or regulations relating to cannabis or the cannabis industry shall render this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or any of the terms and conditions hereof or thereof null, void, or otherwise unenforceable, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
