Entry into Note Purchase Agreement, Exchange
Agreement, and Security Agreement
On September 30, 2016,
the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “
Securities Purchase Agreement
”) with Magic
Farms, LLC (the “
Investor
”) pursuant to which two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, EWSD I, LLC
(“
EWSD I
”) and Pueblo Agriculture Supply and Equipment, LLC (“
Pueblo
”, and
together with EWSD I, the “
Subsidiaries
”) agreed to jointly sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase,
an aggregate of up to $3,349,599 in subscription amount of convertible secured promissory notes (plus the Magic Farms Subscription
Amount of $1,431,401, described below, which was tendered with the first tranche of the Securities Purchase Agreement) (collectively,
the “
New Notes
”) in seven tranches (each, a “
Closing
”).
The Investor’s commitment
to purchase the New Notes may, at the option of the Investor be reduced by up to $700,000 for monies raised by the Company or the
Subsidiaries. The Magic Farms Note Subscription Amount refers to $1,431,401 of 10% convertible notes of the Company previously
issued to Redwood Management, LLC (“
Redwood
”) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement
among Redwood, the Company and the Subsidiaries, dated on or about June 30, 2016, as described in the Company’s Current Report
on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “
Commission
”) on July 14, 2016 (the
“
July SPA
”). The debentures issued pursuant to the July SPA were subsequently assigned to the Investor
and were tendered for cancellation to the Company for the Magic Farms Subscription Amount portion of the New Notes.
The New Notes accrue interest
at a rate of 5% per annum and are issued at a 40% discount to purchase price. Therefore, if each of the seven tranches described
below are fully funded, the Company would receive cash in the aggregate of $1,983,599 in exchange for the issuance of New Notes
with a face value of $3,349,599 in principal to be repaid to the Investor. The first New Note issued in the first tranche under
the Securities Purchase Agreement was for an original purchase price of $1,881,401 (representing the Magic Farms Note Subscription
Amount of $1,431,401 plus $450,000 funded purchase price) and an original principal amount of $2,633,961. The New Notes may be
prepaid inclusive of interest of the greater of one year or the current amount of time that the New Note has been outstanding.
The funding of New Notes
under the Securities Purchase Agreement are as follows: The first tranche of up to $539,306 (of which $450,000 has been funded
and $89,306 remains outstanding) plus the Magic Farms Note Subscription Amount, the second tranche of up to $100,000 (of which
$35,000 has been funded and $65,000 remains outstanding) being closed upon on or about October 1, 2016, the third tranche of up
to $208,424 being closed upon on or about October 17, 2016, the fourth tranche of up to $100,000 being closed upon on or about
November 1, 2016, the fifth tranche of up to $188,818 being closed upon on or about November 15, 2016, the sixth tranche of up
to $182,051 being closed upon on or about December 15, 2016, and the seventh tranche of up to $665,000, the closing of which is
contingent upon, among other things, the purchase of that certain parcel of land located at 212 39th Ln, Pueblo CO 81006 referred
to as “
Farm #2
”, upon terms and conditions that are satisfactory to the Investor and the assignment of
a 20% ownership interest in that certain 320-acres of agricultural land in Pueblo, Colorado (the “
Farm
”)
and Farm #2 to the Investor.
Upon retirement of the
New Notes, the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates as applicable, shall assign twenty percent (20%) of their respective ownership
interest in the Farm and Farm #2 to the Investor.
The Company and Ned Siegel,
Jeffrey Goh, and Clinton Pyatt, each an executive officer of the Company or member of the Company’s Board shall enter into
management contracts with the Company upon terms and subject to conditions that are reasonably acceptable to the Investor.
Furthermore, the Company
shall pay to the Investor as partial repayment of the New Notes or other indebtedness at the end of each calendar month:
(a) Out
of the first $1,000,000 in the aggregate of combined revenues received from all sources, including, without limitation, any revenue
from any legal settlement, judgment, or other legal proceeding (collectively, a “

”), received
of the Company and all of its Subsidiaries net of any payments to an ‘outside farmer’ (collectively, the “
Combined
Revenues
”), 80% of the Combined Revenues, except to the extent the Combined Revenues are from a Legal Matter, in
which event, the percentage shall be 50% (collectively, the “
Combined Net Revenues
”).
(b) Out
of the second $1,000,000 in the aggregate of Combined Revenues, 70% of the Combined Net Revenues, except to the extent the Combined

(c) Out

(d) Upon
full satisfaction of the New Notes, 60% of the Combined Net Revenues shall be used to redeem any outstanding indebtedness owed
to the Investor.
(e) The
foregoing amounts may, at the Investor’s option, be reduced to allow EWSD to meet its overhead not to exceed $120,000 per
month plus a maximum of $100,000 per month to the Company beginning January 15, 2017.
(f) The
Company shall be permitted to enter into one or more agreements with third parties to allocate to such third parties up to no more
than 20% of the Combined Net Revenues. Any such agreements shall reduce the percentage of the Combined Net Revenues to be paid

The Company agreed to use
commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Subordination Agreement (referred to above) to reflect the issuance of New Notes to
the Investor within 14 days of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Redwood and the Investor are affiliates of one another.
In connection with the
negotiation of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company, the Subsidiaries, and the Investor also entered into a Letter Agreement
dated September 30, 2016 (the “
Letter Agreement
”), pursuant to which the Company and the Subsidiaries
agreed to comply with various schedules relating to the expenses, projections, targets, and accounts payable of the Company and
the Subsidiaries. Specifically, the schedules to the Letter Agreement set forth (1) sources and uses of funds for the fourth quarter
of 2016, (2) monthly revenue targets through September 2017, (3) estimated legal and public company expenses through the fourth
quarter of 2016, and (4) monthly operating expense for the Company, and for the Subsidiaries through the fourth quarter of 2016.
The failure of the Company or the Subsidiaries to comply with or meet the specifications set forth in the schedules shall constitute
an Event of Default as such term is described in the New Notes.
The Company and the Subsidiaries
also entered into an Exchange Agreement with Redwood, pursuant to which Redwood agreed to exchange each of the Company’s
outstanding debentures issued in favor of Redwood (in the principal outstanding balance amount of approximately $5,882,242 (plus
accrued interest) (the “
Original Redwood Debentures
”) for certain 10% Convertible Debentures issued by
the Subsidiaries, due June 30, 2017, on substantially the same terms as the Redwood Debentures (the “
Subsidiary Debentures
”).
The Company and the Subsidiaries
also entered into a Security Agreement (the “
Security Agreement
”), securing a lien for the Investor on
the Farm (subject to the rights of the primary lien holder in the Farm pursuant to the Subordination Agreement (as defined above))
and securing a lien for the Investor on Subsidiaries’ other assets on a primary basis. Pursuant to the Security Agreement,
the Company agreed to, within 14 calendar days, negotiate and enter into an amendment to the Subordination Agreement to reflect
the rights of the Investor set forth in the Security Agreement. The Company also intends to negotiate related waivers with its
other creditors.
In the instance of an Event
of Default, as such term is defined in the New Note, the Investor has the right to convert all or any portion of principal and/or
interest of the New Notes into shares of Common Stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the form of 10% Convertible
Debenture dated as of June 30, 2016 issued under the July SPA.
The Investor shall have
a right of first refusal to participate in future equity financings of the Company on the same terms as any new investors for a
period of twelve months from the closing of the last Convertible Debenture.
In connection with the
foregoing, the Company relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering.
The foregoing descriptions
of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the New Notes, the Security Agreement, the Exchange Agreement, and the Letter Agreement do
not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the documents, which shall be filed
