Dear
Mr. Lampert:


 


This
letter will confirm the basis upon which GrowGeneration Corp., a Colorado corporation, and any and all subsidiaries, partners,
affiliates or assignees thereof (individually "Grow" and/or collectively the "Company"), has engaged Cavu
Securities, LLC ("Cavu") on a non-exclusive basis, to render financial advisory and investment banking services.


 


Section
1: Services to be Rendered. Cavu agrees to assist the Company in effecting a sale of the Company's equity securities on the
terms and conditions of this letter agreement. The Company currently is seeking to raise up to $4MM, in any form acceptable to
the Company (the "Capital Raise"), including a private placement and/or eventual listing of the Company's securities
or combination with another entity by which the Company "goes public" (each a "Transaction", or collectively
the "Transactions"). Cavu will provide advice and assistance in connection with the Transactions, which may involve,
to the extent requested by the Company and appropriate for the Transactions, the following services: (i) identify and introduce
potential investors to the Company; (ii) assist in presentations to any investors, at the Company's request; and (iii) advise
on relevant issues regarding structuring and closing any Transaction, iv) advise on potential "go-public" transactions
(collectively, the "Services").


 


Please
note that this letter does not constitute a commitment by Cavu to provide any financing (including participating in the Transaction),
or an obligation of the Company to accept any financing (including the Transaction), nor does it define all of the terms and conditions
of the Transaction. Immediately upon execution of this agreement Cavu will initiate the placement process as described below.
Further, the Company's Board of Directors may reject any proposed Transaction in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section
2: Information. The Company will furnish Cavu with all financial and other information concerning the Company as Cavu
deems appropriate in connection with the performance of the Services contemplated by this engagement and will provide
Cavu with access to the officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of the Company upon
reasonable notice. The Company acknowledges and confirms that Cavu (i) will rely solely on such information in the
performance of the Services contemplated by this engagement without assuming any responsibility for independent investigation
or verification thereof, (ii) assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information or any other
information regarding the Company and (iii) will not make any appraisal of any assets of the Company.


 


The
Company represents and warrants and covenants to Cavu that all information (excluding projection, forecast or forward-looking
information or statements) regarding the Company (the "Company Information") contained in the final Transaction Documents,
taken as a whole and as supplemented from time to time, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or to the Company's
knowledge, omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances under which such statements are made. If at any time prior to the closing date of the Transaction an event occurs
as a result of which the Company Information or any third party information (to the extent it is actually known to the Company)
(as then supplemented or amended) includes any untrue statement of a material fact or to the Company's knowledge omits to state
any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, the Company will promptly notify Cavu of such event and the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to
the Company Information which corrects such statement(s) or omission(s) or, if known, third party information. Any projections,
forecasts and estimates that have been or are hereafter made available to Cavu by the Company or any of the representatives of
the Company in connection with the Transaction are based upon certain assumptions that the Company considers to be reasonable.


 


Section
3: Matters Relating to Engagement. The Company acknowledges that Cavu has been retained solely to provide the Services set
forth in this engagement letter. In rendering such services, Cavu shall act as an Independent Contractor, and any duties of Cavu
arising out of its engagement hereunder shall be owed solely to the Company. In connection with any offering of securities, the
Company acknowledges that Cavu is engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities, as well as the provision of investment
banking and financial advisory services. In the ordinary course of trading and brokerage activities, Cavu and its affiliates may
at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions, for their own account or the accounts
of customers, in debt or equity securities of entities that may be involved in the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


The
Company acknowledges and agrees that Cavu is not, and does not hold itself out to be, an advisor as to legal, tax or accounting
matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible
for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the risks, benefits and suitability of the transactions contemplated
by this engagement letter, and Cavu shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. The Company
further acknowledges and agrees that:


 


	 	a)	it has been advised that Cavu is engaged in a broad range of transactions
which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that Cavu has no obligation to disclose such interests and
transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and




 






    	 	2	 



     


    

 


	 	b)	it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have
against Cavu for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that Cavu shall have no liability (whether
direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim
on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.




 


Section
4: Fees. The Company agrees to pay Cavu for the Services in connection with a Transaction as follows:


 


	 	a)	A
    Cash Success Fee of 7% of the Aggregate Consideration payable in cash upon the closing of a Transaction; and


 


	 	b)	An
    Equity Success Fee of 7% of the Aggregate Consideration in 5 year warrants, with an exercise price equal to the price of securities
    sold in the Transaction, or its split adjusted equivalent("Success Warrants").


 


	 	c)	For
    every $500,000 of capital raised by Cavu in a Transaction, the Company will grant to 15,000 shares of the Company's stock
    to Cavu.


 


	 	d)	If
    Cavu successfully raises $3MM or more for the Company, the Company agrees to retain Cavu for a period of 12 months for capital
    advisory and strategic assistance. Cavu and the Company will negotiate in good faith as to the retainer and fee for additional
    services.


 


For
purposes of this Agreement, the term "Aggregate Consideration" shall mean the total amount of cash, debt and the fair
market value (on the date of closing) of all other property paid or payable directly or indirectly to the Company or received
by the Company in connection with a Capital Raise placed by Cavu.


 


Section
5: Expenses. In addition to any fees that may be payable to Cavu hereunder and regardless of whether any Transaction is proposed
or consummated, Company hereby agrees, from time to time upon request, to reimburse Cavu for all reasonable travel, legal or other
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing the Services, provided, however, that for any individual expense that is estimated
to exceed $500 or for total expenses incurred in a single month to exceed $1,000 in the aggregate, Cavu must obtain prior written
approval. For purposes of this paragraph, an email or text message is adequate written approval.


 


Section
6: Termination of Agreement. Cavu's engagement hereunder may be terminated by either the Company or Cavu, with or
without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to that effect to the other party; provided, however, that Cavu will be
entitled to any reimbursements and its full fees under Section 4 in the event that, at any time during the one (1) year
period following any termination, the Company (i) consummates a Transaction with any investor Cavu introduced to the Company
during the term of the engagement, or (ii) enters into an agreement to consummate a Transaction (a "Tail Period
Transaction"), with any investor Cavu introduced to the Company during the term of the engagement.

Section
7: Indemnification. The Company and Cavu each agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other and the other's affiliates and
their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each, an "Indemnified Person")
from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or proceedings, including security holder actions
or proceedings, in respect thereof), related to or arising out of such engagement or the rendering of services by Cavu as requested
by the Company that are related to the services rendered under the Engagement Letter, or Cavu's role in connection therewith (collectively,
a "Claim" and/or "Loss"), and will reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly for all documented expenses
(including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred by an Indemnified Person in connection with the defense
of any pending or threatened Claim, or any such action or proceeding arising therefrom. ("Proceeding"); provided, however,
that in the event it is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any such Claim or Loss arose solely
out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person then such Indemnified Person shall promptly remit
to the Company any amounts reimbursed or advanced under this paragraph.


 


The
Company and Cavu each also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract
or tort or otherwise) to the other or any person asserting claims on the its behalf or in its right for or in connection with
such engagement, except to the extent that such Claim is filially judicially determined to have resulted solely from such Indemnified
Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.


 


The
Company and Cavu each agrees that without the other's prior written consent it will not enter into any settlement or compromise
of, or consent to, any judgment in a Proceeding arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Engagement Letter and in which
the Company, Cavu or any other Indemnified Person is a party to such Proceeding, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment
(i) includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such Proceeding of all Indemnified Persons from all
liability arising therefrom and (ii) such compromise settlement, consent or termination does not limit the future conduct of an
Indemnified Person whether by injunction, consent decree or other decree or otherwise.


 


Promptly
after an Indemnified Person's receipt of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, an Indemnified Person shall notify the
Company and Cavu in writing of the commencement thereof, but omission so to notify the Company or Cavu will not relieve the Company
or Cavu as the case may be from any liability which the Company or Cavu may have to such Indemnified Person, except the obligations
to indemnify to the extent that the Company or Cavu, as the case may be, suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure.
The Company and Cavu further agree that the Indemnified Persons are entitled to retain separate counsel of their choice in connection
with any of the matters in respect of which indemnification, reimbursement or contribution may be sought under this Agreement,
and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be included in the indemnification hereunder.
