DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Promissory Note (this “Note”), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

Coastal Compassion, Inc.

New Bedford, MA 02739

AMERICANN, INC

3200 Brighton Blvd, Unit 114

Denver, CO 80216

2.

DEBT: For value received, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the order of the Lender the Loan Amount, or so much of the Loan Amount as has been advanced by the Lender, together with interest on the unpaid balance under this Note at the applicable interest rate set forth in Section 3 below and with all other amounts due hereunder. All amounts due from Borrower to Lender under this Note shall be made without benefit of any setoff, counterclaim, or other defense.

3.

INTEREST: From the date the loan is made, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance at a fixed rate of interest equal to eighteen (18) percent, compounded quarterly (the “Fixed Rate”). Interest shall at all times be calculated on a 90-day quarter of three 30-day months, but shall accrue and be payable on the actual number of days elapsed.

4.

PAYMENTS: Commencing on the first Payment Date and thereafter on each subsequent Payment Date until the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall make equal monthly payments of principal and interest sufficient to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the Fixed Rate over a five (5) year period of time. If not otherwise paid, all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest shall otherwise be paid on or before the Maturity Date. If interest is due and accrued for a period of more or less than one (1) quarter on the First Payment Date, the amount of the first payment shall be increased or decreased to the extent that the amount of interest then due exceeds or is less than one (1) quarter’s interest.

5.

DELINQUENCY CHARGES: If the Borrower fails to pay any amount due under this Note for thirty (30) days after such payment becomes due, the Lender may, at its option, whether immediately or at the time of final payment of the amounts evidenced by this Note, impose a delinquency or “late” charge equal to five (5) percent of the amount of such past due payment, notwithstanding the date on which such payment is actually paid in full. To the extent permissible by law, the Borrower and Lender agree that any such delinquency charges shall not be deemed to be additional interest or penalty, but shall be deemed to be liquidated damages because of the difficulty in computing the actual amount of damages in advance.

6.

DEFAULT: “Event(s) of Default” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

a.

The Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest on the Note when due thereunder or any other payment obligation in respect of this Note within thirty (30) days of the date when due, unless excused in writing by the Lender; or

b.

The Borrower defaults in the performance of any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Note and such default shall continue uncured for thirty (30) days; or

c.

The Borrower is dissolved, becomes insolvent or bankrupt or ceases paying its debts as they mature for a period of thirty (30) days after such maturity or Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or a trustee, receiver or liquidator is appointed for the Borrower or for a substantial part of the property of the Borrower; or bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or similar proceedings are instituted by or against the Borrower under the laws of any jurisdiction (provided that, if involuntary, such proceedings shall not be an Event of Default unless they are not stayed or dismissed within forty-five (45) days); or

d.

Entry of any court order against the Borrower which enjoins, restrains or in any way prevents the Borrower from conducting a substantial part of their business activities or materially interferes with the ownership, use or occupation of any if their assets which court order is not rescinded or dismissed within ninety (90) days of its issuance; or

e.

The criminal conviction or indictment of the Borrower or any director, officer or manager of the Borrower, or the entry of any judgment against the Borrower or any director, officer or manager of the Borrower for any act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, theft, unethical business conduct or any conduct which, in the reasonable discretion of the Lender, substantially and materially impairs or injures the reputation of the Borrower or any senior officer or manager of the Borrower or substantially and materially harms the Borrower in any way; or

f.

Borrower’s breach of any representations or warranties made or agreed to be made in this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Note by any party to this Agreement or the in any respect or if such representations and warranties shall prove to be false or misleading in any respect when made; or

g.

A levy be made on any property of the Borrower under any process, or any lien creditor commences suit to enforce a judgment lien against any property of the Borrower or any assets of the Borrower and such levy or action shall not be bonded against by sureties deemed by Lender to be sufficient in its sole opinion and judgment; or

h.

Borrower’s failure to obtain a final registration to operate a RMD in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or such registration has been revoked or suspended for a period of sixty (60) days or longer.

7.

ACCELERATION AND OTHER REMEDIES: If an Event of Default, as such term is defined in Section 6 of this Note occurs, then, and in any such event, the Lender may, at its option, declare the entire unpaid balance of this Note, together with interest accrued thereon, to be immediately due and payable and may proceed to exercise any rights or remedies that it may have under this Note, or such other rights and remedies which the Lender may have at law, equity or otherwise, and Lender shall be released from any and all obligations to the Borrower under the terms of this Agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded in equity and under all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into between Lender and the Borrower, and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by Lender of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar the Lender from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of the Lender to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the obligations of Borrower have been indefeasibly paid and performed.

8.

LIMITATION OF REMEDIES: Notwithstanding any provision of this Note, the Lender hereby agrees that Lender’s rights and remedies following a default shall not include the seizure of assets protected by the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana Act, Ch. 369 of the Acts of 2012, i.e. any product containing any amount of marijuana. The Lender shall not be entitled to a repayment or remedy that provides to Lender inventory of Borrower that contains any amount of marijuana, in any form, whether flower or infused product. The Lender hereby forfeits any such remedy. In addition, Lender hereby understands and agrees that a Certificate of Registration, whether provisional or final, is non-transferrable, and may not be assigned or transferred without prior Department of Public Health approval. Lender agrees that Borrower’s Certificate of Registration is not an asset that may be seized by Lender or available as a remedy for Borrower’s default under this Agreement, and hereby expressly waives any such remedy.

9.

COSTS AND EXPENSES UPON DEFAULT: In addition to principal, interest and delinquency charges, the Lender shall be entitled to collect all costs of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with Lender’s collection efforts, whether or not suit on this Note is filed, and all such costs and expenses shall be payable on demand.

10.

APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS: All payments hereunder shall be applied first to delinquency charges, costs of collection and enforcement and other similar amounts due, if any, under this Note, then to interest which is due and payable under this Note, and the remainder, if any, to principal due and payable under this Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Event of Default has occurred which has not been waived in writing by the Lender, such payments may be applied to sums due under this Note in any order and combination that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine.

11.

PERMITTED PREPAYMENT: The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in whole, or in part, together with all delinquency charges and any other amounts which may be due hereunder at any time, without premium or penalty. The Borrower must give Lender no less than five (5) days’ prior written notice of the Borrower’s intention to prepay. The date fixed for prepayment in such notice shall become the maturity date with respect to such portion of the outstanding balance being repaid.

12.

INDEMNIFICATION: To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Lender and its directors, officers, agents, and employees (individually and collectively, the “Indemnitee(s)”) harmless from and against:

a.

Any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action (including, without limitation, any such matters that relate to Lender’s direct or indirect involvement in the funding or construction of the RMD) that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any person, if the claim, demand, action or cause of action, directly or indirectly, relates to a claim, demand, action, or cause of action that the person has or asserts against the Borrower; and

b.

Any and all liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action specified in this Section 11.

13.

COSTS; ILLEGALITY OF LOAN: The Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand:

a.

All costs and reasonable expenses of the Lender in connection with, and any stamp or other taxes or charges (including filing fees) payable with respect to, this Note and the enforcement hereof;

b.

Any amount necessary to compensate the Lender for any losses or costs (including funding costs) sustained by it as a consequence of any Event of Default by the Borrower hereunder; and

c.

Any increased costs the Lender may sustain in maintaining the borrowing evidenced hereby due to the introduction of, or any change in, law or applicable regulations (including the interpretation thereof) or due to the compliance by the Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or governmental authority. In addition, if it shall become unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert it to be unlawful, for the Lender (or any bank which is directly or indirectly funding the Lender with respect to the Loan) to maintain the borrowing evidenced hereby, the Borrower agrees to prepay this Note in full together with accrued interest and other amounts payable hereunder on demand. It is understood that the marijuana is currently illegal under the laws of the United States of America and such illegality shall have no effect upon this loan.

14.

WAIVERS: THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY STATE OR FEDERAL LAW WITH RESPECT TO ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WHICH THE LENDER MAY DESIRE TO USE, and, further, irrevocably waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment, diligence in collection, commencement of suit against any obligor, notice of protest, and protest of this Note and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the payment of this Note, before or after the maturity of this Note, with or without notice to the Borrower, and agrees that its liability shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Lender. The Borrower consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted by Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the collateral for this Note, or any part thereof, with or without substitution of said collateral, and agrees to the addition or release of any guarantor, all whether primarily or secondarily liable, before or after maturity of this Note, with or without notice to the Borrower, and without affecting its liability under this Note. Any delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right under this Note shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, and any waiver granted or consented to on one occasion shall not operate as a waiver in the event of any subsequent default.

15.

NO USURY: The Lender and the Borrower intend to comply at all times with applicable usury laws. If at any time such laws would ever render usurious any amounts called for under this Note, then it is the Borrower’s and the Lender’s express intention that the Borrower shall not be required to pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the maximum lawful rate, that the provisions of this Section 12 shall control over all other provisions of this Note which may be in apparent conflict herewith, that such excess amount shall be credited to the principal balance of this Note (or, if this Note has been fully paid, refunded by the Lender to the Borrower), and the provisions hereof shall be reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible under this Note reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any further documents, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery by the Lender of the fullest amount otherwise called for under this Note. Any such crediting or refund shall not cure or waive any default by the Borrower under this Note. If, at any time following any reduction in the interest rate payable by the Borrower there remains unpaid any principal amount under this Note and the maximum interest rate allowed by applicable law is increased or eliminated, then the interest rate payable under this Note shall be readjusted, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, so that the dollar amount of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the dollar amount of interest which would have been paid by the Borrower without giving effect to the reduction in interest resulting from compliance with applicable usury laws. The Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not any interest payable under this Note exceeds the highest rate allowed by law, any non-principal payment (except payments specifically stated in this Note to be “interest”), including, without limitation, if any are applicable as provided herein, prepayment fees and delinquency charges, shall, to the maximum extent allowed by law, be an expense, fee or premium rather than interest. The term “Applicable Law”, as used in this Note shall mean the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the laws of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

16.

JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY: The liabilities of the Borrower are joint and several; provided, however, the release by Lender of any other person liable hereunder shall not release any other person obligated on account of this Note. Each reference herein to “Borrower” or “Borrowers” is to such party individually and also to all such parties jointly. No party obligated on account of this Note may seek contribution from any other party also obligated unless and until all liabilities to Lender from the party from whom contribution is sought have been satisfied in full.

17.

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and upon its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors, endorsees, and assigns.

18.

SECURITY: The Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security interest in all personal property, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, leases, tangible property, intangible property not subject to an encumbrance by a lessor, contractual agreements with third parties, and any and all deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Lender to the Borrower and any cash, securities, instruments, or other property of the Borrower which now or hereafter are at any time in the possession or control of the Lender, and such sums shall constitute additional security to the Lender for the liabilities of the Borrower to the Lender, including, without limitation, the liability evidenced hereby, and may be applied or set off by the Lender against such liabilities at any time from and after an Event of Default hereunder or after demand for payment is made by the Lender, whether or not available to Lender. Borrower agrees that Lender may file any financing statement, lien entry form or other document Lender requires in order to perfect, amend or continue Lender’s security interest and Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender as may be necessary to accomplish said filing and to do whatever Lender deems necessary to protect Lender’s security interest. Borrower agrees and warrants that all records shall be located at Borrower's address as set forth in Section 1. In the event of Default, the security interest described herein shall be disbursed to all Lenders on a pro rata basis based on their loan amount as compared to the entire loan amount. Lender hereby agrees that filing a UCC-1 statement or bringing an action in the trial court shall not make their interest superior or provide priority above any other Lender’s interest, but instead agrees to the pro rata disbursement of the security interest as defined herein.

19.

COLLECTION: Any check, draft, money order or other instrument given in payment of all or any portion hereof may be accepted by the Lender and handled by collection in the customary manner, but the same shall not constitute payment hereunder or diminish any rights of the Lender except to the extent that actual cash proceeds of such instrument are unconditionally received by the Lender and applied to this indebtedness in the manner elsewhere herein provided.

20.

AMENDMENTS: This Note may be changed or amended only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

21.

In the event such litigation is commenced, the Borrower agrees that service of process may be made, and personal jurisdiction over the Borrower obtained, by service of a copy of the summons, complaint and other pleadings required to commence such litigation upon the Borrower at the address set forth in Section 1 of this Note or at another address provided in writing by the Borrower to the Lender. The terms of this Agreement shall be subject to approval by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and in the event that the Department of Public Health requires amendments, this Agreement shall be amended as required by the Department of Public Health and to reflect the intent of the parties.

22.
