May 28, 2015

Messrs. Shayan Haye and Muhammad Humza:

Gentlemen:

This letter is to confirm our mutual  agreement with respect to (Shayan Haye and
Muhammad Humza) creating a company called "The Medics USA, Inc.", domiciled as a
New Jersey  corporation,  for the purpose of distributing  CBD enriched hemp oil
and all other related products.

This agreement, allows you to become a distributor on an exclusive basis subject
to the below  conditions,  on all the products we manufacture  and market in the
State of New York, the State of New Jersey and the Sovereign State of Pakistan.

The Medics USA will  purchase  product from us as necessary to fill the needs of
the customers developed in the territory you have been awarded.  The branding on
all products will be exclusively  "EARTH SCIENCE TECH" (unless  modified for any
reason) and no labeling may be affixed without prior written  approval.  We will
at all  times  recognize  that  although  the  customers  developed  are for our
products,  the client relationship belongs to you. Upon periodic notification of
your  new  customers  as  well as your  existing  ones,  the  Company  will  not
circumvent  you in any way; and if any such  customers  attempt to deal directly
with us, we will immediately refer them to you. Additionally, if you should sell
to a customer outside your exclusive territory,  that customer will remain yours
and will be treated as though they were located inside your exclusive territory.
This will exist for the life of the  agreement.  Although  it is  required  as a
general  matter that all customers be registered  with us, we are  prohibited to
sell to any customer in your territory, being on an individual basis, registered
or not.

To maintain exclusivity a minimum sales criteria must be met follows:. A) During
the first year of the distributorship,  you must achieve total sales of at least
$1,800,000.00  B) In each successive  year,  sales must increase by 10% which is
equivalent  to,  $1,980,000.00  in the second year and C)  $2,178,000.00  in the
third  year.  The  contract is for three  years,  renewable  by mutual  consent.
Regarding  the minimums,  we will address them at 3-month  intervals and monitor
them  accordingly.  In the first year,  meeting the minimum will  require  total
quarterly  sales of at least  $450,000.00  - 25% of the yearly  minimum  for the
first year.  This will increase  proportionately  in the second and third years,
consistent with the increased minimums applicable to those years. If total sales
in any quarter fail to meet the portion of the yearly minimum applicable to that
year, the shortfall must be made up in the following  quarter for exclusivity to
continue.   Also,   continuing  to  maintain   exclusivity  is  that  no  single
jurisdiction  of the three which  comprise the  territory can have sales of less
than  $200,000.00 in any quarter.  If that should occur,  we may opt to withdraw
exclusivity,  only in that jurisdiction  regardless of the level of sales in the
other parts of the  territory.  Alternatively,  in the event of a  shortfall  in
either the  entire  territory  or any  jurisdiction  within  it, we may  require
corrective  measures  designed  to  stimulate  sales  on  such  terms  as we may
establish.  In either event, if there is a continued failure to achieve required
sales levels  and/or  comply with  requirements  in place,  our agreement may be
terminated by written notice.

Within the spirit of our  relationship,  we intend to advertise  and promote our
brand in the territory,  country and  internationally  and wherever  possible to
provide you with leads and incentives.

The pricing for our products will be  established by a separate price list which
you will be asked to review,  approve  and  initial.  We reserve  the right,  to
adjust  the price from time to time as the market  conditions  dictate,  but you
will always retain a price lower than any other distributor.

Please note that Earth  Science Tech will continue to advertise and promote on a
worldwide  basis  and  anticipates  establishing  its  brand  with  considerable
penetration.  If we should  acquire a client in the  territory  or  consummate a
broad-based deal there,  you will receive,  as the distributor of that territory
as long as your  exclusivity  is intact,  10% of net sales  achieved  as long as
sales  continue  regardless of the status of this  agreement.  For clarity,  ten
percent  (10%) of the net profit being defined as gross sales less cost of goods
sold - will be  disbursed by us on a monthly  basis for deals in this  category.
All goods that require  shipping in your  territory  will be routed  through you
including deals closed by us where you have minimal involvement.  It should also

<PAGE>

be clear that we will take care of our own  labeling and shipping for deals that
we bring to the table so that no additional expense will incur.

If you are asked to have additional involvement or work in connection with deals
that we coordinate in your territory,  you will be compensated,  however,  after
prior arrangement and specific agreements are mutually acceptable.

Secure  packing  will  be the  responsibility  of  EST  along  with  broad-based
advertising and marketing.

After  accepting  purchase  orders that can be delayed due to lack of product or
for any other  practical  reason which  prevents you from filling the order in a
timely manner, such orders will be counted against your minimum requirements. If
other adjustments are necessary to satisfy customers they can be negotiated in a
spirit of cooperation between us.

This  agreement  stays in force and  nothing in writing and or signed can modify
it. EST represents we are not partners, joint venturers or mutual agents. We are
independent  companies each of which speak,  acts and performs for itself.  If a
dispute arises and we can't resolve it between  ourselves and formal  procedures
are  necessary,  jurisdiction  will be in the courts of Florida for all purposes
and Florida law will apply.

The  terms  of  this  agreement   including  pricing   arrangements,   supplies,
formulations, practices, prospects, plans or potentials is confidential and will
not  under  any   circumstances   to  be  divulged  outside  the  orbit  of  our
relationship.

All payments are expected to be by wire transfer and no credit  transactions are
anticipated.  You will be fully  insured  for  product  liability  as will we. A
certificate of Insurance will be required naming EST as additionally insured.

We own and will continue to own the relevant patents and trademarks and maintain
exclusive  control over them.  Any suspected  Infringement  must be  immediately
reported  to us.  Conversely,  any  claim  that we may  infringe  on needs to be
immediately  reported.  If its  determined  that either party has breached  this
agreement  by a court of competent  jurisdiction  and  prevails  accordingly  in
litigation, that party may recover its attorney's fees as well as any damages.

If agreed -, please  countersign  below and return to me for  execution.  Please
understand that while you may want to do business  corporately,  you are signing
individually and will be responsible as individuals for performance.

Sincerely,
The undersigned hereby accept and agree to the above provisions in all respects:

Earth Science Tech, Inc.

	(c)	Termination by ARC for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason. If Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by ARC for Cause pursuant to Section 7(c), or by Executive without Good Reason

 Page 6 of
18 

	 	(ii)	On or after his date of termination, Executive executes a Release Agreement in the form attached as Appendix C to this Agreement (or such substantially similar form as may be provided by ARC) and the Release Agreement
becomes effective within the time frame specified by ARC in the Release Agreement. If Executive fails to execute the Release Agreement within such time frame or revokes the Release Agreement before it becomes effective, then Executive shall not
receive the additional compensation and benefits set forth in paragraph (b) below. 

  

	(b)	Additional Compensation. ARC shall provide Executive with the following compensation and benefits, commencing as soon as practicable after the Effective Date provided for in the Release Agreement:

  

	 	(i)	ARC shall continue to pay Executive his Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to his termination date as if he had continued in employment until the end of the twelve (12)-month period beginning on such
termination date (the “Severance Pay Period”); 

  

	 	(ii)	Continuation of coverage and premium payments by ARC under ARC’s group insurance programs for Executive and his eligible family members under Section 4 of Appendix B during the Severance Pay Period;

  

	 	(iii)	unvested stock options, restricted stock or similar rights granted to Executive shall accelerate and become vested and exercisable immediately as of the effective date of termination. 

 

	(c)	Parachute Payments. In the event that the severance, acceleration of stock options and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute
payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or replaced (the “Code”) and (ii) but for this Section 9(c), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Executive’s benefits hereunder shall be either: 

  

	 	(i)	provided to Executive in full; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 provided to Executive only as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of
the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some
portion of such benefits may be taxable under the Excise Tax. Unless ARC and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 9(c) shall be made in writing in good faith by ARC’s independent public
accountants (the “Accountants”). For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 11(e), the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable,
good faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code. ARC and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this

  
 Page 7 of
18 

	 	
Section 9(c). ARC shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 9(c). Any reduction in benefits shall be
applied by ARC in its discretion in the following order and in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code: (i) reduction of any cash payments otherwise payable to Executive that are exempt from Section 409A;
(ii) reduction of any cash payments otherwise payable to Executive that are subject to Section 409A on a pro rated basis; (iii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards (other than stock options) that are exempt from
Section 409A; (iv) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options that are exempt from Section 409A; and (v) reduction of any other payments and benefits otherwise payable to Executive by ARC on a pro rated basis. If
acceleration of vesting of Executive’s stock options or other equity awards is to be reduced pursuant to clauses (iii) or (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence, such acceleration of vesting shall be accomplished, to the extent
necessary, by cancelling vesting installments as they would otherwise vest in reverse chronological order. 

  

	(d)	Special Section 409A Rules Applying to Severance Compensation. 

  

	 	(i)	This Section shall apply to all or any portion of any payment or benefit a payable under the Agreement as a result of termination of the Executive’s employment that is not exempted from Section 409A of the
Code (“409A Severance Compensation”). 

  

	 	(ii)	Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the following rules shall apply to any 409A Severance Compensation in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code:

  

	 	(A)	If the termination of the Executive’s employment does not qualify as a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(h) from the “Company’s Controlled
Group”, then any 409A Severance Compensation will not commence until a “separation from service” occurs or, if earlier, the earliest other date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code. For this purpose, the
“Company’s Controlled Group” means (i) the Company; (ii) any corporation which is a member of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code) which includes the Company; and (iii) any
trade or business (whether or not incorporated) which is under common control (as defined in Section 414(c) of the Code) with the Company. 

  

	 	(B)	 In any case where the earliest and latest dates on which Executive could deliver a Release Agreement that becomes effective fall in two separate
taxable years, any payments or benefits required to be made to Executive that are conditioned on the effectiveness of the Release Agreement and are treated as nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code shall be
made in the later taxable year, with any payments or benefits deferred pursuant to this clause (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the

  
 Page 8 of
18 

	 	
absence of such deferral) shall be paid or provided to Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the
payment dates otherwise specified for them herein. 

  

	 	(C)	If at the time of the Executive’s separation from service, Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of any 409A
Severance Compensation (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the date that is six (6) months following your separation from service or, if earlier, the earliest other date as is
permitted under Section 409A. 

  

	 	(D)	The right to receive any 409A Severance Compensation that is paid in installments will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments for all purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

  

	10.	ARBITRATION AND EQUITABLE RELIEF 

  

	(a)	Arbitration. In consideration of Executive’s employment with ARC, its promise to arbitrate all employment-related disputes and Executive’s receipt of the compensation paid to Executive by ARC, at
present and in the future, Executive agrees that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes with anyone (including ARC and any employee, officer, director, shareholder or benefit plan of ARC in their capacity as such or otherwise) arising out
of, relating to, or resulting from Executive’s employment with ARC or the termination of that employment with ARC, including any provision of this Agreement, shall be subject to binding arbitration under the arbitration rules set forth in the
California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1280 through 1294.2, including section 1283.05 collectively (the “Rules”) and pursuant to California law. Disputes which Executive agrees to arbitrate, and hereby agrees to waive any right
to a trial by jury, include without limitation, any common law claims, statutory claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers
Benefit Protection Act, the California Fair Employment And Housing Act, the California Labor Code (except for workers compensation or unemployment insurance claims), or ERISA, claims of harassment, discrimination or wrongful termination and any
other statutory claims under state or federal law. 

  

	(b)	 Procedure. Any arbitration will be administered by JAMS and a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its rules for the
resolution of employment disputes. The arbitrator shall have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication and motions to dismiss and demurrers, prior to any
arbitration hearing. The arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies, including attorneys’ fees and costs, available under applicable law. ARC will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the arbitrator or JAMS except
that Executive shall pay the first $200.00 of any filing fees associated with any arbitration Executive initiates. The arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner consistent with the Rules. To the extent that the

  
 Page 9 of

JAMS rules for the resolution of employment disputes conflict with the Rules, the Rules shall take precedence. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing. 

 

	(c)	Remedy. Except as provided by the Rules and this Agreement, arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive and final remedy for any dispute between ARC and Executive. Accordingly, except as provided for by the Rules
and this Agreement, neither ARC nor Executive will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful ARC
policy, and the arbitrator shall not order or require ARC to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law which ARC has not adopted. 

  

	(d)	Availability of Injunctive Relief. In addition to the right under the Rules to petition the court for provisional relief, ARC may also petition the court for injunctive relief, notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement requiring arbitration, where ARC alleges or claims a violation of this Agreement, or any separate agreement between Executive and ARC regarding trade secrets, confidential information or non-solicitation, or California Labor Code
§2870. No bond shall be required of ARC. Executive understands and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or of any such separate agreement will cause irreparable injury to ARC or its subsidiaries or affiliates and that
money damages will not provide an adequate remedy therefore, and Executive hereby consents to the issuance of an injunction. In the event either party seeks injunctive relief, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and
attorney fees related thereto. 

  

	(e)	Administrative Relief. This Agreement does not prohibit Executive from pursuing an administrative claim with a local, state or federal administrative body such as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing,
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the Workers’ Compensation Board. This Agreement does, however, preclude Executive from pursuing court action regarding any such claim. 

 

	(f)	Voluntary Nature of Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by ARC or anyone else. Executive further acknowledges and
agrees that he has carefully read this Agreement, that he has asked any questions needed for him to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement, and that he fully understands this Agreement, including that he is waiving
his right to a jury trial. Finally, Executive acknowledges that he has been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of his choice before signing this Agreement. 

 

	11.	WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. 

 ARC shall withhold from any
compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement all applicable federal, state, local, or other taxes. 
  

	12.	COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A. 

 ARC and Executive agree
to modify and administer the Agreement to the extent possible to comply with Section 409A of the Code and to avoid incurring any interest and additional tax liability that might be imposed on Executive or ARC. To the extent a provision of this

  
 Page 10 of
18 

 
Agreement is contrary to or fails to address the minimum requirements of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance issued thereunder, ARC may, in its sole discretion, take such steps
as it deems reasonable to provide the coverage or benefits provided under the Agreement so as to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued thereunder; provided, however, that, any and all tax liability and
interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code shall remain the sole responsibility of Executive. 
  

	13.	EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION RECOVERY POLICY 

 By
signing this Agreement, Executive voluntarily and knowingly acknowledges and accepts that all incentive-based compensation is subject to ARC’s Executive Compensation Recovery Policy, as it may be amended from time to time. Accordingly,
Executive agrees that in the event that ARC is required to prepare restated financial results owing to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements, it will recover or cancel any incentive-based compensation paid to Executive during
the three (3)-year period preceding the date as of which ARC is required to prepare the accounting restatement, to the extent that such compensation exceeds the amount that would have been paid to Executive had it been based on the restated results,
or will offset any compensation otherwise payable in the event Executive fails to repay any incentive-based compensation subject to forfeiture or clawback. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that Executive’s incentive-based
compensation is not considered earned under applicable wage and labor laws until the foregoing requirements lapse, and Executive irrevocably waives any right to contest enforcement of the foregoing policy under such wage and labor laws. 

 

	14.	NO CLAIM AGAINST ASSETS. 

 Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as giving Executive any claim against any specific assets of ARC or as imposing any trustee relationship upon ARC in respect of Executive. ARC shall not be required to establish a special or separate fund or to segregate
any of its assets in order to provide for the satisfaction of its obligations under this Agreement. Executive’s rights under this Agreement shall be limited to those of an unsecured general creditor of the ARC and its affiliates 

 

	15.	GOVERNING LAW. 

 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to California conflict of laws principles. 
  

	16.	NOTICES. 

 Any notices or other communications desired or required under this Agreement
shall be in writing, signed by the Party making the same, and shall be deemed delivered when personally delivered or on the second business day after the same is sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows (or to such
other address as may be designated by like written notice):

	17.	SEVERABILITY. 

 In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision. 
  

	18.	ASSIGNMENT. 

 Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither party shall assign
this Agreement or any rights hereunder without the consent of the other party, and any attempted or purported assignment without such consent shall be void; provided that Executive’s consent under this Agreement shall not be required
hereby for any of the transactions involving a Change of Control. This Agreement shall otherwise bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, legatees, devisees, executors, administrators and
legal representatives. 
  

	19.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. 

 This Agreement contains the
entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, correspondence, understandings and agreements between the parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. Any prior employment agreement, bonus
agreement or other compensation agreement between Executive and ARC or any predecessor, subsidiary or affiliate of ARC, is hereby amended and superseded as of the Effective Date. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing signed
by both parties. 
  

	20.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

  

	(a)	Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver thereof or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon
strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. 

  

	(b)	Separability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is declared illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction and cannot be modified to be enforceable, such term or provision shall
immediately become null and void, leaving the remainder of this Agreement in full force and effect. 

  

	(c)	Headings. Section headings are used herein for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of this Agreement. 

 

	(d)	Rules of Construction. Whenever the context so requires, the use of the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa. 

 

	(e)	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts will together constitute but one Agreement.

AGREEMENT 
 APPENDIX C

 RELEASE AGREEMENT 
 I
understand that my position with ARC Document Solutions, Inc. (“ARC”) terminated effective
                        (the “Separation Date”). ARC has agreed that if I choose to sign this Agreement, ARC
will pay me severance benefits (minus the standard withholdings and deductions) pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement entered into on June 9, 2015 between myself and ARC (the “Severance
Benefits”). I understand that I am not entitled to the Severance Benefits unless I sign this Agreement. I understand that in addition to the Severance Benefits, ARC will pay me all of my accrued salary and vacation, to which I am entitled
by law.  
 In consideration for the Severance Benefits I am receiving under this Agreement, I agree not to use or disclose any of ARC’s
proprietary information without written authorization from ARC, to immediately return all Company property and documents (including all embodiments of proprietary information) and all copies thereof in my possession or control, and to release ARC
and its officers, directors, agents, attorneys, employees, shareholders, and affiliates from any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, causes of action, attorneys’ fees, damages, or obligations of every kind and nature, whether they are
known or unknown, arising at any time prior to the date I sign this Agreement. This general release includes, but is not limited to: all federal and state statutory and common law claims, claims related to my employment or the termination of my
employment or related to breach of contract, tort, wrongful termination, discrimination, wages or benefits, or claims for any form of compensation. This release is not intended to release any claims I have or may have against any of the released
parties for (a) indemnification as a director, officer, agent or employee under applicable law, charter document or agreement, (b) severance and other termination benefits under my employment agreement and any related written documents,
(c) health or other insurance benefits based on claims already submitted or which are covered claims properly submitted in the future, (d) vested rights under pension, retirement or other benefit plans, or (e) in respect of events,
acts or omissions occurring after the date of this Release Agreement. 
 In releasing claims unknown to me at present, I am waiving all rights and benefits
under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and any law or legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction: 
 “A
general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” 

I acknowledge that I am knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing any rights I may have under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of
1967, as amended (“ADEA”). I also acknowledge that the consideration given for the waiver in the above paragraph is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled. I have been advised by this writing, as required
by the ADEA that: (a) my waiver and release do not apply to any claims that 

  
 Page 17 of

may arise after my signing of this Agreement; (b) I should consult with an attorney prior to executing this release, (c) I have twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this
release (although I may choose to voluntarily execute this release earlier); (d) I have seven (7) days following the execution of this release to revoke the Agreement; (e) this Agreement will not be effective until the eighth day
after this Agreement has been signed both by me and by ARC (“Effective Date”); and I will not be paid any of the Severance Benefits until this Agreement has become effective. 

This Agreement constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between ARC and me with regard to the subject matter hereof I
am not relying on any promise or representation by ARC that is not expressly stated herein. This Agreement may only be modified by a writing signed by both me and a duly authorized officer of ARC. I accept and agree to the terms and conditions
stated above:
