4. ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES warrant that no promise or inducement has been offered to them, except as set forth in this Release; that this Release is entered into without reliance on any statement or representation by the ACACIA RELEASED PARTIES and/or the SAMPLE RELEASED PARTIES, as applicable, or their representatives not contained in this Release; that the ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and/or the SAMPLE  RELEASING PARTIES, as applicable, are legally competent and are fully authorized to execute this Release on behalf of themselves and the persons they purport to bind in this Release; and ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and/or SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES, as applicable, accept full responsibility therefore, and further assume the risk of any mistake of fact on which this Release may be entered into.

5. ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and/or SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES, as applicable, are fully aware that they may have suffered damage for conditions as a result of matters mentioned in paragraph 2 and 3 above, which they may not be aware of at this time, and which may not manifest themselves until sometime in the future. ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES are further aware that they may

3

later discover damages or conditions or monetary losses as a result of the matters mentioned in paragraph 2 and 3 above, which may exist at this time, but which they are not presently aware of, and that they may later discover damages or conditions which do not exist at the present time. Being fully aware of these possibilities, it is the clear intention of ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and the SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES, as applicable, to accept the consideration set forth herein for all damages, conditions and monetary losses as a result of the ACACIA RELEASED CLAIMS and/or SAMPLE RELEASED CLAIMS, as applicable, or any others mentioned in paragraph 2 and 3 above (jointly “RELEASED CLAIMS”), which may have been sustained or may be sustained in the future. ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and/or SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES, as applicable, further understand that, except as specifically excluded from this Release by the express terms of this Release, they are waiving all rights to bring a claim in the future against any of the ACACIA RELEASED PARTIES and/or SAMPLE RELEASED PARTIES, as applicable, based on the RELEASED CLAIMS, even if they later discover damages, conditions or monetary losses, which are not presently known to them, but which presently exist and that might arise in the future.

6. ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES represent and warrant that they have made a full, independent investigation of the facts and law relating to the claims between them and they are satisfied that they fully understand and appreciate the factual and legal ramifications of the claims and that they are represented by independent legal counsel of their own choosing.  ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES understand and accept the risk that facts with respect to which this Release is executed may later be found to be other than true or different from the facts they now believe to be true. This Release shall be and remain effective despite any such untruth or difference in such facts, notwithstanding the fact that knowledge of the existence of any untruth or difference in facts or law at the time of execution of this Release would have materially altered or in any way affected the decision of ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES to enter into this Release.

7. ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES represent, warrant and agree that (i) they will never directly or indirectly commence, file, aid or in any way prosecute or cause to be commenced or prosecuted against the ACACIA RELEASED PARTIES and/or SAMPLE RELEASED PARTIES, as applicable, for any of the RELEASED CLAIMS or otherwise referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 above, and (ii) no portion of any claim, demand, right or cause of action which ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES had, has or may have against ACACIA RELEASED PARTIES and/or SAMPLE RELEASED PARTIES, as applicable, has been or can be assigned or transferred, in any manner, including, but not limited to, assignment or transfer by subrogation or by operation of law, to any other person or entity, including any debtor-in-possession or trustee appointed in any case filed by or against ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and/or SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES, as applicable, to this Release under any Chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In the event

4

that any claim, demand or suit should be commenced or maintained against ACACIA RELEASED PARTIES and/or SAMPLE RELEASED PARTIES, as applicable, on account of any RELEASED CLAIMS then the ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and/or SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES, as applicable, agree to indemnify the ACACIA RELEASED PARTIES and/or SAMPLE RELEASED PARTIES, as applicable, from any and all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, incurred as a result of such claim, demand or suit, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the prosecution or defense of such claim, demand or suit.

 8  To the extent not described in this Release, the PARTIES shall bear their own costs, expert witness fees, attorneys’ fees, and other expenses.

 9.  The PARTIES have entered into this Release in order to avoid the substantial costs, inconvenience and uncertainties and for the best interests of ACACIA DIVERSIFIED and its affiliates and subsidiaries and for the best interests of SAMPLE. It is further understood that the PARTIES deny that they have acted wrongfully towards the other PARTIES; and the execution of this Release shall not constitute an admission by any of them that such PARTY has violated any federal, state or local statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or common law; or that any claim of an opposing PARTY had any merit whatsoever.

10.  The rights and obligations of the PARTIES under this Release shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon their heirs, successors, related entities, affiliates and assigns. The waiver by any PARTY of a breach of any provision of this Release by any other PARTY shall not operate or be interpreted as a waiver of that breach or any later breach of that provision or any other provision.

11. This Release may not be altered, amended, modified, or terminated except by an instrument in writing executed by the PARTIES and/or their authorized representatives with the same formalities as this Release was signed.

            12.           This Release is made and entered into in the State of Florida, and shall be interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflicts of law principals. In the event any portion of this Release shall be declared by any court or Arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed as never having been part of this Release so long as the economic or legal substance of the transaction is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any PARTY that did not assert the invalidity or unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any portion of this Release shall not affect any other portions of this Release not held invalid or unenforceable so long as the economic or legal substance of the transaction contemplated by this Release is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any PARTY that did not assert the invalidity or unenforceability.  The PARTIES agree to attempt to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision and agree that the person resolving any dispute among

5

the PARTIES may replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

             13. The PARTIES represent and warrant that they are solvent and they have no present intention of filing any petition or initiating any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any similar state or federal legislation.

             14. The PARTIES further agree to execute any and all documents and instruments as may be reasonably determined in the future to be necessary in order to effectively carry out the commitments of the PARTIES as set forth herein

             15. This Release may be executed in any number of actual, scanned and emailed, or facsimile counterparts in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and confirmed as delivered shall be an original. The executed signature pages from each actual, scanned and emailed, or facsimile counterpart may be joined together and attached to one such original, which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

              16. Any PARTY breaching this Release agrees to indemnify and hold the other PARTIES harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, or expense, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the non-breaching party should any PARTY to this Release directly or indirectly commence litigation against any other PARTY to this Release.  Should any PARTY be required to seek the services of an attorney to enforce its rights hereunder, the prevailing party in such action shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees and other fees and legal costs incurred by that PARTY in connection therewith, including any such fees and costs incurred in any judicial proceedings, including at the appellate level.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the ACACIA RELEASING PARTIES and SAMPLE RELEASING PARTIES have executed this Release as of the above date.

This Amendment Agreement
No. 2 (the "Agreement") dated as of January 24, 2017, is by and between Great Basin Scientific, Inc., a Delaware
corporation with offices located at 420 E. South Temple, Suite 520, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 (the "Company"),
and the Holder whose signature is set forth below (the "Holder"). All terms used and not defined herein are used
as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes (each as defined below), as applicable.

 

WHEREAS:

 

A. The
Company, the Holder and other Buyers executed and delivered a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement")
dated as of June 29, 2016 in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act,
and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the 1933 Act.

 

B. The
Company authorized the issuance of senior secured convertible notes of the Company (as amended prior to the date hereof, the "Notes"),
in the aggregate original principal amount of $75,000,000 which Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock, in accordance
with the terms of the Notes.

 

C. The
Company and the Holder entered into that certain Amendment Agreement dated January 23, 2017. In compliance with Section 19 of the
Notes, the Company and the Holder, which alone represents the Required Holders (as defined in each of the Notes), desire to further
amend each of the Notes as set forth herein, which amendments shall be binding on the holders of all Notes outstanding as of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Holder, (such time, the "Effective Time").

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1. NO CHANGE TO
TERMS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH. Except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, all terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement,
Notes, Warrants, the Security Documents and other Transaction Documents, as amended prior to the date hereof, are, and shall continue
to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as explicitly set forth herein, the
Holder reserves all of its rights, remedies, powers, and privileges. All references herein and in the Securities Purchase Agreement,
Notes, Warrants, the Security Documents and other Transaction Documents to the Notes shall mean on and after the Effective Time,
respectively, the Securities Purchase Agreement, Notes, Warrants, the Security Documents and such other Transaction Documents,
each as amended by this Agreement.

 

2. CHANGES TO THE
NOTES.

 

a.Section 3(b)(ii)
of the Notes is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

 

     

     

    

 

"(ii)"Conversion
Price" means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, the lowest of (x) $0.50 per share, subject to
adjustment as provided herein, (y) 85% of the lower of (I) the lowest Weighted Average Price
of the Common Stock and (II) the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock, in each case, during the five (5) consecutive Trading
Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day on which the Holder delivers a Conversion Notice to the Company (such trading
prices to be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination, reclassification or similar transaction
during such five (5) consecutive Trading Day period), and (z) 85% of the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the
period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time (or such other time as the Principal Market publicly announces the official
opening of trading), and ending at 1:00:00 p.m., New York time, on the delivery date of the applicable Conversion Notice; provided
however, during the period through and including January 24, 2017 to February 15, 2017, the Conversion Price shall not be lowered
to an amount lower than 90% of the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the
delivery date of the applicable Conversion Notice.

 

b. Section
3(c)(iv) of the Notes is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

 

"Reserve
Allocation; Disputes. The Company has currently reserved the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on Schedule A for each
Holder set forth therein to be issued to each Holder upon such Holder's conversion of its Notes and shall keep such shares reserved
for each such Holder's conversion of its Notes as required herein. In the event that the Company increases the number of authorized
shares of Common Stock after the date hereof, it shall reserve any additional shares of Common Stock required to be reserved hereunder
for each Holder pro rata based on the principal amount of Notes issued to each Holder on the Closing Date. In the event of a dispute
as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall
issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 26."

 

c. Section

to, provide the Holder with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after
the date hereof without the express prior written consent of the Holder. To the extent that the Company delivers any material,
non-public information to the Holder without such Holder's express prior written consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees
that the Holder shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents with respect to, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any
of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public
