GROSS REVENUE ASSIGNMENT

FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by CANNASYS, INC., a Nevada corporation (“CannaSys”), MHB, INC., a Colorado corporation doing business as Mile High Brands (“MHB”), does hereby execute and deliver this Gross Revenue Assignment (this “Assignment”), effective as of November 3, 2015. CannaSys and MHB are hereinafter referred to individually, as a “Party,” or collectively, the “Parties.”

Recitals

Pursuant to that certain Share Exchange Agreement (“SEA”) dated of even date between the Parties (the “SEA”), MHB agreed to assign and transfer to CannaSys an amount equal to 10% of the Gross Revenues (as defined below) of MHB and in consideration of the SEA and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, is executing and delivering this Assignment pursuant to the SEA in order to effectuate the same.

Agreement

NOW THEREFORE, upon these premises, which are incorporated herein by this reference, MHB does hereby covenant, agree, assign, transfer, represent, and warrant as set forth below:

1.           Assignment; Operative Definitions

1.1.           In consideration of the SEA, MHB hereby assigns, transfers, and sets over unto CannaSys an amount equal to 10% of the Gross Revenues of MHB, commencing on 12:01 a.m., on November 3, 2015), continuing thereafter and payable as provided below, to have and to hold the same unto CannaSys and its successors and assigns, forever and perpetually, with the full power and authority to enforce, defend, sue for, and collect the same.

1.2.           When used herein, the term “Gross Revenues” shall mean all cash payments and the fair value of all noncash consideration actually received by MHB from any source and recognized or recognizable as gross revenue under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”), less only: (a) returns, refunds, credits, and allowances actually made or allowed by or to distributors, subcontractors, licensees or sublicensees, or other customers of MHB; (b) customary trade discounts (including anticipations) afforded to and actually taken by distributors, subcontractors, licensees or sublicensees, or other customers for any products or services of any kind or nature; and (c) taxes or tariffs assessed on sales or importation (only where applicable and when paid or payable by MHB), excluding only any distributions, dividends, fees, charges, or other amounts whatsoever received by MHB from CMHB, Inc., a Nevada corporation, the joint venture corporate entity owned and operated by the Parties in accordance with the SEA. “Gross Revenue” shall include cash consideration paid to MHB and the fair value, as determined in accordance with GAAP, of noncash consideration. MHB understands, agrees, and acknowledges that in the event that any sale or other disposition or transfer is made by or on behalf of MHB to any person, organization, middleman, distributor, subcontractor, licensee or sublicensee, or other entity of any kind that is, has been during the preceding 180 days, or becomes, within 180 days after the transaction in question, related or connected in any manner to MHB, or its officers, directors, or major shareholders (individually and/or collectively (a “Related Third Party”), the amount used for reporting Gross Revenue of such a sale or transfer shall always be the amount of cash or other consideration booked and/or received by MHB only from the first Party that is not a Related Third Party in the commercial chain for the sublease, license, or transfer to the final consumer or user. MHB’s receipt of a cash deposit, letter of credit, or other security to assure future payment does not constitute Gross Revenue until earned, in accordance with GAAP.

1.3.           MHB shall, within 45 days of the end of each calendar quarter (a “Reporting Period”), furnish to CannaSys complete and accurate statements, signed and certified to be true and complete by a duly authorized officer of MHB, showing the following related to such Reporting Period:

(a)           MHB’s sales of all products and services produced and sold by MHB (“MHB Products”), including sale volume by units and Gross Revenue (without deductions of any kind) by country or region and by distribution channel;

(b)           any deductions or adjustments in accordance with the first sentence of Section 1.2; and

(c)           Gross Revenue payable to MHB.

1.4           At the same time as delivering such statement, MHB shall make a payment of the amount of Gross Revenues receivable during such Reporting Period and the amount paid to CannaSys respecting such Reporting Period. MHB shall submit statements in accordance with the foregoing even if no sales have been made by MHB during such Reporting Period. MHB Products are considered sold when invoiced, shipped, delivered and when MHB receives payment.

1.5           All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars without deduction whatsoever, including deduction of any expenses or withholding or other taxes that MHB is legally obligated to pay (amounts specified to be net of taxes payable by MHB). Payments shall be made in cleared funds to CannaSys by bank transfer to the account provided to MHB from time to time in writing.

1.6           When reasonably requested by CannaSys and with each Reporting Period), MHB shall provide CannaSys with: (a) copies of MHB’s most recent internal financial statements (and, if available, audited, compiled, or reviewed financial statements, including footnotes); and (b) an updated list of the names and addresses, to the extent known by MHB, of all manufacturing sources, subcontractors, distributors, suppliers, dealers, wholesalers, retailers, accounts and others which have been engaged in the design, manufacture, advertising, promotion, sale, distribution or other dealings with any or all of the MHB Products and related materials.

1.7           Overdue payments shall bear interest at the rate of 4% per annum.

1.8           MHB shall pay any withholding or similar taxes that MHB is legally obligated to pay in a timely manner and shall, on written request, promptly provide CannaSys with a receipt evidencing such payment.

1.9           CannaSys will not be liable for any withholding tax, including any interest, penalties, or other associated costs, relating to any withholding obligation imposed by the government or taxing authority of any country, state, province, municipality, or any other government jurisdiction arising as a result of sales by, or other commercial activities of, MHB or its subcontractors governed by this Assignment.

2.           Books and Records

2.1           MHB shall, at all times, keep and maintain complete and accurate books and records in connection with sales of MHB Products and the computation of Gross Revenues in respect thereof, including correspondence, banking, financial, and other records relating to the various items to be shown on the sales reports to be submitted under Section 1.3 hereof. Such books and records shall be available for inspection and audit at any time or times during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable notice by CannaSys or its authorized representatives. If CannaSys conducts an audit and inspection that discloses a deficiency of less than 5% between the amount found to be due to CannaSys and the amount actually paid or credited to CannaSys, then MHB shall pay CannaSys the amount of the deficiency plus interest at the rate set out in Section 1.7. In that circumstance, CannaSys shall bear the full costs and expenses of the audit. If the audit discloses a deficiency of 5% or more between the amount found to be due to CannaSys and the amount actually paid to CannaSys, then MHB shall, in addition to paying the deficiency together with interest as calculated above, promptly reimburse CannaSys and its representatives for all costs and expenses incurred in conducting such audit (including professional and staff fees and travel, accommodation, and local meal expenses).

2.2           CannaSys may, at its own expense, retain an independent certified public accounting firm, or other public accounting firm approved by MHB, to prepare a statement detailing the information required under Section 1.3. MHB shall cooperate with CannaSys and its accounting firm to provide them with access to MHB’s books, records, and business information relevant to the compilation and preparation of such a detailed statement.

2.3           Upon CannaSys’s written request, MHB shall provide CannaSys with true and correct copies of any internal financial statements (and if available, audited, compiled, or reviewed financial statements, including footnotes) that have been prepared by or for MHB for the requested fiscal year(s).

2.4           The exercise by CannaSys, in whole or in part or at any time or times, of the right to audit records and accounts or of any other right herein granted; the acceptance by CannaSys of any statement or statements; or the receipt and deposit by CannaSys of any payment tendered by or on behalf of MHB shall be without prejudice to any rights or remedies of CannaSys.

3.           Representations and Warranties

3.1           Each Party represents and warrants that: (a) it has the full right and authority to enter into this Assignment, perform its obligations, and grant the rights granted hereunder; and (b) its execution, delivery, and performance of this Assignment will not result in a breach of any material assignment or understanding to which it is a party or by which it or any of its material properties may be bound.

3.2           MHB represents and warrants that: (a) MHB is neither insolvent, nor shall be rendered insolvent by entering into this Assignment or the transactions contemplated hereunder; and (b) MHB is able to perform all obligations and make all payments contemplated hereunder.

3.3           Except as expressly set forth in this Assignment, and to the extent permitted by law, each Party expressly disclaims all warranties and representations, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, noninfringement, or fitness for a particular purpose.

4.           Indemnity

4.1           MHB shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CannaSys and its subsidiary and affiliated entities, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents, from and against any claims, liabilities, costs (including reasonable legal fees), damages, loss of profits or goodwill, or other loss (whether direct, indirect, or consequential) whatsoever arising out of or in connection with this Assignment, including: (a) the design, manufacture, sale, advertising, promotion, distribution, or use of MHB Products by MHB, any of its subcontractors, or any of their affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents, and other representatives; (b) any use of the MHB Products by MHB; (c) any violation of any intellectual property rights used by MHB in connection with the MHB Products; (d) any alleged breach or breach by MHB or any of its subcontractors of any of the undertakings, representations, warranties, or other terms contained in this Assignment; (e) any violation or alleged violation of or other noncompliance with any law by MHB or any of subcontractors; (f) any alleged action or failure to act whatsoever by MHB; and (g) any sales or distribution by MHB or any of its subcontractors of the MHB Products to a country or region in which MHB Products may lawfully be sold or used. MHB shall cause each of its subcontractors to execute a similar indemnity provision in favor of MHB and CannaSys, which provision shall expressly identify CannaSys as an intended third-party beneficiary.

4.2           CannaSys shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MHB and its subsidiary and affiliated entities, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents, from and against any claims whatsoever arising out of or in connection with any alleged or actual material breach by CannaSys of any of its representations, warranties, or undertakings hereunder.

4.3           If an indemnifiable claim is made against an indemnified party, such party will promptly notify the indemnifying party of such claim. Failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that the indemnifying party might have, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s legal rights. The indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense and/or settlement of such claims; but, the indemnifying party shall assume control of the defense of such claim. The indemnified party may participate in the defense of the claim at its own cost. Notwithstanding anything contained herein: (a) the indemnified party shall not enter into any settlement or compromise that provides for any remedy of the claim without the prior written approval of the indemnifying party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld; and (b) MHB may not enter into any settlement or compromise that involves or affects any property, product, or assets of CannaSys without CannaSys’s prior written approval.
