 This Guaranty (this “Guaranty”), dated as of November 22, 2021,  by Unrivaled Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation (together with its successors and, if permitted, assigns, the “Company”) and each of the other operating subsidiaries listed on the signature pages hereof as guarantor (together with the Company, the “Guarantors”), in favor of the purchasers (the “Purchasers”) of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes of the Company, designated as its Senior Secured Promissory Note due February 22, 2022 (the “Notes”) and Commitment Shares (“Commitment Shares” and together with the Notes, referred to collectively as the “Securities”), each issued and sold by the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2021, between the Company and the Purchasers (the “Purchase Agreement”) and ___________, a ________ limited liability company (together with its successors and registered assigns, “___________”), as collateral agent for the Purchasers (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall be used to refer to any item included within the definition of such term under the Notes, including if such term is defined in such Note merely by reference to such definition in the Purchase Agreement.
  
 W I T N E S S E T H:
  
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the initial Purchasers have severally agreed to purchase the Securities from the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; 
  
 WHEREAS, each Guarantor has agreed to guaranty the Guaranteed Obligations, as defined below;
  
 WHEREAS, many Guarantors are operating Subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”);
  
 WHEREAS, each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the purchase of the Securities under the Purchase Agreement; and
  
 WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation of the initial Purchasers to purchase the Securities from the Company under the Purchase Agreement that the Guarantors shall have executed this Guaranty and delivered it to such initial Purchasers;
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to induce the initial Purchasers to purchase the Notes from the Company thereunder, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Purchaser as follows:
  
 ARTICLE I GUARANTY
  
 1.1 Guaranty. To induce the initial Purchasers to purchase the Securities, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance with any Transaction Document, of all the Obligations of the other Company Parties owing to any Purchaser or any Purchaser Party whether existing on the date hereof or hereinafter incurred or created (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This guaranty by each Guarantor hereunder constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.
  
 1.2 Limitation of Guaranty. Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which any Guarantor that is not a direct or indirect owner of stock in the Company (any “Subsidiary Guarantor”) shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Subsidiary Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable Requirements of Law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution established in Section 3 and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under this Guaranty.

 1.3 Contribution. To the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Subsidiary Guarantor from the Notes and other Obligations of each Purchaser and Purchaser Party and (b) the amount such Subsidiary Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Subsidiary Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Company and any Guarantor that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor) in the same proportion as such Subsidiary Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary Guarantors on such date, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Subsidiary Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Subsidiary Guarantors on such date.
  
 1.4 Authorization; Other Agreements. The Purchasers, the Purchaser Parties and each other Purchaser of an Obligation or Purchaser or beneficiary of a Guaranteed Obligation or beneficiary of a Lien granted under any Transactional Document (collectively, and together with their successors and permitted assigns, the “Beneficiaries”) are hereby authorized, without notice to or demand upon any Guarantor and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without incurring any liability hereunder, from time to time, to do each of the following:
  
 (a) (i) modify, amend, supplement or otherwise change, (ii) accelerate or otherwise change the time of payment or (iii) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with, any Guaranteed Obligation or any Transaction Document;

 (e) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations.
  
 1.5 Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense, whether arising in connection with or in respect of any of the following or otherwise, and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following (which may not be pleaded and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding with respect to this Guaranty):
  
 (a) the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of the Company or any other Guarantor under any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (including any amendment, consent or waiver thereto), or any security for, or other guaranty of, any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
  
 (b) the absence of (i) any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof or from the Company or any other Guarantor or other action to enforce any of the same or (ii) any action to enforce any Transaction Document or any Lien thereunder;

 (e) any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other Asset Sale involving Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by any Beneficiary to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance with such Beneficiary’s rights under any applicable law (including any applicable Regulation or Consent of any Governmental Authority); or 
  
 (f) any other defense, setoff, counterclaim or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Company, any other Guarantor or any of the Company’s other Subsidiaries, in each case other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
  
 1.6 Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness, presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder including any of the following: (a) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest, (b) any notice of acceptance, (c) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable and (d) any other notice in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Company or any other Guarantor.

Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Company, each other Guarantor and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that no Beneficiary shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Guarantor, such Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information that such Beneficiary, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantor.
  
 ARTICLE II MISCELLANEOUS
  
 2.1 Representations and Warranties; Covenants. To induce the initial Purchasers to enter into the Transaction Documents, each Guarantor hereby agrees to each of the following with the Purchasers and the other Beneficiaries, as long as any Guaranteed Obligation remains outstanding with respect to any Guarantor:
  
 (a) the representations and warranties as to such Guarantor and its operating Subsidiaries made by the Company in Article III (Representations and Warranties) of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct on each date as required by Section 2.4(b) of the Purchase Agreement; and

 2.2 Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Company Party or other Person and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared or sought to be declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, then, if, prior to any of the foregoing, any provision of this Guaranty (including the guaranty of such Guarantor hereunder) shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Guarantor in respect of the amount of such payment.
  
 2.3 Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Guaranteed Obligations. If any Guaranteed Obligation is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, a Purchaser may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Guarantor or any other Company Party and without first joining any other Guarantor or any other Company Party in any proceeding.
  
 2.4 No Waiver by Course of Conduct. No Beneficiary shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 5), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Beneficiary, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Beneficiary of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Beneficiary would otherwise have on any future occasion.
  
 2.5 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 6.3(b) (Amendments) of the Purchase Agreement.
  
 2.6 Additional Guarantors. [reserved].
  
 2.7 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon any Purchaser or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 6.4 (Notices) of the Purchase Agreement; provided, that, any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to the Company’s notice address set forth in such Section 6.4.
  
 2.8 Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of each Beneficiary and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Guaranty except as authorized in the Purchase Agreement.
  
 2.9 Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Guaranty by facsimile transmission or by e-mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
  
 2.10 Interpretation. This Guaranty is a Transaction Document and as such is subject to various interpretative, amendment and third party beneficiary and other miscellaneous provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement that expressly apply to Transaction Documents, located principally in Article VI thereof. In particular, without limitation, none of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 6.3(b) (Modifications and Signatures) of the Purchase Agreement. 
  
 2.11 Severability.
