3. Use.
A. The Leased Premises shall be used for cultivating marijuana for medical

Article XVIII of the constitution of the State of Colorado ("Sections 14 and
16") ; (ii) that no marijuana shall be used in or near the Property in plain
view of (or in a place open to) the general public or in any way that endangers
the health or well-being of any person; and (iii) that Tenant will not violate
any state law regarding growth or distribution of marijuana in the course of
Tenant's business. In the event that Tenant's cultivation and distribution of
marijuana at any time becomes impermissible under Sections 14 and 16, Tenant

eliminate mold, and correction of any moisture-related conditions). Prior to
Tenant taking possession, Landlord shall cause its qualified environmental
contractor to conduct a baseline review and analysis of any mold currently
existing on or about the Property and/or Leased Premises and in no event shall
Tenant be required to remediate such existing mold conditions. Landlord should
remediate and/or correct any mold condition found and the cause thereof.

of the Leased Premises to be modified by a licensed and qualified contractor to
control moisture condensation prior to obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy or
Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, and (ii) provide to Landlord annually a
written report from a qualified environmental contractor regarding management of
mold and water damage in the Leased Premises. Upon review of the above
referenced annual written report from such qualified environmental contractor,
the Landlord, at the Landlord's sole discretion, may have the right to require
Tenant to remediate any mold issues or concerns, at Tenant's sole expense, in an
amount not to exceed $500,000 aggregate. In addition, Tenant also hereby agrees

aggregate, any mold concerns or issues should they develop and Tenant become
aware of such mold concerns or issues at any point between such annual mold
inspections.

window areas and on the Leased Premises, at locations selected by Tenant,
which are permitted by applicable zoning ordinances, private restrictions

unattractive or otherwise inconsistent with or inappropriate to the Leased
Premises or use of any other tenant. Landlord shall assist and cooperate

authorities or adjoining owners and occupants for Tenant to place or

therein. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days' notice
prior to the commencement of any work in, on, or about the Property, and
Landlord shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or
on the Property as provided by law. If Tenant shall, in good faith, contest

sole expense, defend and protect itself, Landlord and the Property against
the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be
rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Landlord or the
Property. If Landlord shall require, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a
surety bond satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to one and one-half
times the amount of such contested lien, claim or demand, indemnifying
Landlord against liability for the same, as required by law for the holding

participating in such action if Landlord shall decide it is to its best
interest to do so.

and invitees, of the non-reserved common automobile parking areas,

right to designate parking areas within the Property or in reasonable
proximity thereto, for Tenant and Tenant's agents and employees.

purposes.
15. Damage and Destruction. If the Leased Premises or any part thereof or any
appurtenance thereto is so damaged by fire, casualty or structural defects
that the same cannot be used for Tenant's purposes, and Tenant, its agents
or employees are not the cause of the damage, then Tenant shall have the
right within ninety (90) days following damage to elect by notice to
Landlord to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage. In the
event of minor damage to any part of the Leased Premises, and if such

Landlord shall promptly repair such damage at the cost of the Landlord..
Except as provided in subparagraph 8(A) above, Tenant shall be relieved
from paying rent and other charges during any portion of the Term that the
Leased Premises are inoperable or unfit for occupancy, or use, in whole or

for any such periods shall be credited on the next ensuing payments, if
any, but if no further payments are to be made, any such advance payments
shall be refunded to Tenant. The provisions of this paragraph extend not

in part, for Tenant's purposes.

Landlord as herein provided, and if said default shall continue for fifteen
(15) days after written notice thereof shall have been given to Tenant by
Landlord, or if default shall be made in any of the other covenants or
conditions to be kept, observed and performed by Tenant, and such default
shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof in writing
to Tenant by Landlord without correction thereof then having been commenced
and thereafter diligently prosecuted, Landlord may declare the term of this
Lease ended and terminated by giving Tenant written notice of such
intention, and if possession of the Leased Premises is not surrendered.
Landlord shall have, in addition to the remedy above provided, any other
right or remedy available to Landlord on account of any Tenant default,
either in law or equity. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate
its damages. In any action arising from this Lease, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney fees and other costs
of suit including appeals.
17. Quiet Possession. Landlord covenants and warrants that upon performance by
Tenant of its obligations hereunder, Landlord will keep and maintain Tenant
in exclusive, quiet, peaceable and undisturbed and uninterrupted possession
including nuisance related to odor of the Leased Premises during the term
of this Lease. Tenant shall agree to the same terms of Quiet Possession.
18. Condemnation. If any legally, constituted authority condemns the Property
or such part thereof which shall make the Leased Premises unsuitable for

caused by the condemnation. Neither party shall have any rights in or to
any award made to the other by the condemning authority.

attorning to the holder of any such liens as Landlord may request. In the
event that Tenant should fail to execute any instrument of subordination

and last month's rent, shall be paid as set forth in Section 2 above and be
held by Landlord without liability for interest and as security for the
performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this
Lease, it being expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not be
considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord's damages
in case of default by Tenant. Unless otherwise provided by mandatory
non-waivable law or regulation, Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit
with Landlord's other funds. Landlord may, from time to time, without
prejudice to any other remedy, use the Security Deposit to the extent
necessary to make good any arrearages of rent or to satisfy any other
covenant or obligation of Tenant hereunder. Following any such application
of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount
so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.
If Tenant is not in default at the termination of this Lease, the balance
of the Security Deposit remaining after any such application shall be
returned by Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the expiration
of the Term or termination of the Lease. If Landlord transfers its interest
in the Premises during the term of this Lease, Landlord may assign the
Security Deposit to the transferee and thereafter shall have no further
liability for the return of such Security Deposit.

for the number of days of such holding over, plus a pro rata portion of all
other amounts which Tenant would have been required to pay hereunder had
this Lease been in effect. If Tenant holds over with or without Landlord's
written consent Tenant shall occupy the Leased Premises on a tenancy from
month to month at 150% of the Base Monthly Rent and otherwise all other
terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable to such period.

this Lease.

implied from any omission to take any action on account of such default if
such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect
any default other than the default specified in the express waiver and that

Tenant: Strainwise, LLC a Colorado limited liability company
Lease: That certain Lease Agreement between Landlord and Tenant dated April
22, 2014.
Guarantor: Shawn Phillips
Date: April 22, 2014
Tenant wishes to enter into the Lease with Landlord. Landlord is unwilling to
enter into the Lease unless Guarantor assures Landlord of the full performance
of Tenant's obligations under the Lease. Guarantor is willing to do so.
Accordingly, in order to induce the Landlord to enter into the Lease, and for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are
acknowledged by Guarantor:
1. Guarantor unconditionally guarantees to Landlord, and the successors
and assigns of Landlord, Tenant's full and punctual performance of its
obligations under the Lease, including without limitation the payment
of rent and other charges due under the Lease. Guarantor waives notice
of any breach or default by Tenant under the Lease. If Tenant defaults
in the performance of any of its obligations under the Lease, upon
Landlord's demand, Guarantor will perform Tenant's obligations under
the Lease.
2. Any act of Landlord, or the successors or assigns of Landlord,
consisting of a waiver of any of the terms or conditions of the Lease,
or the giving of any consent to any matter related to or thing
relating to the Lease, or the granting of any indulgences or
extensions of time to Tenant, may be done without notice to Guarantor
and without affecting the obligations of Guarantor under this
Guaranty.
3. The obligations for Guarantor under this Guaranty will not be affected
by Landlord's receipt, application, or release of security given or
the performance of Tenant's obligations under the Lease, nor by any
modification of the Lease, including without limitation the
alteration, enlargement, or change of the Premises described in the
Lease, except that in case of any such modification, the liability of
the Guarantor will be deemed modified in accordance with the terms of
any such modification.
4. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty will not be affected
by:
(a) the release of discharge of Tenant from its obligations under the
Lease any creditors', receivership, bankruptcy, or other
proceedings, or the commencement or pendency of any such
proceedings;
(b) the impairment, limitation, or modification of the liability of
Tenant or the estate of Tenant in bankruptcy, or of any remedy
for the enforcement of Tenant's liability under the Lease,
resulting from the operation of any present or future bankruptcy
code or other statute, or from the decision in any court;
(c) the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease in any such
proceedings;
13
(d) the assignment or transfer of the Lease or sublease of all or
part of the Premises described in the Lease by Tenant unless
Landlord consents to release guarantor from this Guaranty of
Lease in writing in connection therewith;
(e) any disability or other defense of Tenant; or
(f) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of
Tenant under the Lease other than as provided in the Lease,
particularly in Paragraphs 5A and 5C of the Lease.
5. Until all of Tenant's obligations under the Lease are fully performed,
Guarantor:
(a) waives any right of subrogation against Tenant by reason of any
payments or acts of performance by Guarantor, in compliance with
the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty;
b) waives any other right that Guarantor may have against Tenant by
reason of any one or more payments or acts in compliance with the
obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty; and
(c) subordinates any liability or indebtedness of Tenant held by
Guarantor to the obligations of Tenant to Landlord under the
Lease.
6. This Guaranty will apply to the Lease, any extension or renewal of the
Lease, and any holdover term following the term of the Lease, or any
such extension or renewal.
7. This Guaranty may not be changed, modified, discharged, or terminated
orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed
by Guarantor and Landlord.
8. Guarantor is primarily obligated under the Lease. Landlord may, at its
option, proceed against Guarantor without proceeding against Tenant or
anyone else obligated under the Lease or against any security for any
of Tenant's or Guarantor's obligations.
9. Guarantor will pay on demand the reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
incurred by Landlord, or its successors and assigns, in connection
with the enforcement of this Guaranty.
10. Guarantor irrevocably appoints Tenant as its agent for service of
process related to this Guaranty.
Guarantor has executed this Guaranty as of the date stated above.
