WHEREAS, Marijuana Company of America, Inc. and Cannabis Global, Inc. are common shareholders in a

WHEREAS, Marijuana Company of America, Inc. and Cannabis Global, Inc. seek to take further steps to deepen the strategic partnership between them, in order to fully leverage on the respective favorable resources of both parties in response to the diverse market demand for their product; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Marijuana Company of America, Inc., and the Board of Directors of Cannabis Global, Inc. have unanimously determined that long-term strategic value can be created by building on the strategic cooperation between the companies through a mutual investment to unlock long-term value for the respective shareholders;

NOW, THEREFORE, MCOA desires to issue and sell the number of shares of MCOA common stock, par value $0.001, equal in value to $650,000 based on the closing price for the trading day immediately preceding the effective date of this Agreement (the “Shares”), in exchange for the number of shares of CBGL common stock, par value $0.001, equal in value to $650,000 based on the closing price for the trading day immediately preceding the effective date of this Agreement (the “Exchange Shares”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein

(the “Exchange”).

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the receipt and

sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE SHARES AND THE EXCHANGE SHARES

Section 1.1 The Shares. The Shares shall be issued to CBGL, and the Exchange Shares shall be issued to MCOA, pursuant to Article II hereof.

ARTICLE II

SHARE EXCHANGE

Section 2.1 Share Exchange. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, MCOA agrees to issue and sell to CBGL, the Shares, and in exchange therefor at the Share Exchange Closing, CBGL shall issue to MCOA the Exchange Shares.

Section 2.2 Share Exchange Closing.

(a)

The Shares and the Exchange Shares will be issued on the books and records of the respective parties’ transfer agents in book-entry form. MCOA will deliver a confirmation from its transfer agent evidencing the issuance of the Shares registered in the name of CBGL, and CBGL will deliver a confirmation from its transfer agent evidencing the issuance of the Exchange Shares and registered in the name of MCOA. MCOA and CBGL may designate their wholly owned subsidiary as holder of the Shares and the Exchange Shares. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI, the time and date of such deliveries shall be 10:00 a.m., Pacific time, on a date and at a place to be specified by the parties (the “Share Exchange Closing”), which date shall be no later than the day after satisfaction or waiver of the latest to occur of the conditions set forth in Article VI.

(b)

The documents to be delivered at the Share Exchange Closing by or on behalf of the parties hereto pursuant to this Article II and any additional documents requested by CBGL pursuant to Section 8.2, will be delivered at the Share Exchange Closing.

Section 2.3 Share Exchange Adjustment. For a period of two years following the Effective Date, at the closing of each fiscal quarter, should the per-share closing price of the common shares of the same class as the Shares or the Exchange Shares, as quoted by the OTC Markets for the last day of the relevant fiscal quarter, decrease below original issuance value with the effect that the aggregate value of the Shares or the Exchange Shares at the fiscal quarter close would be lower than $650,000, then either MCOA, in the case of the Shares, or CBGL, in the case of the Exchange Shares, shall issue the other party the number of shares of common stock necessary to cause the aggregate value of the Shares or the Exchange Shares, as applicable, be $650,000 as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter. The parties shall irrevocably instruct their respective transfer agents to reserve and maintain authorized and unissued common stock in a reserve account designated for the purpose of issuing such shares pursuant to this share exchange adjustment provision. Such share reserve accounts shall be maintained with a number of authorized and unissued common stock not less than three (3) times the number of Shares or Exchange Shares, as the case may be, that are issued pursuant to the Share Exchange Closing.

Section 2.4. Quarterly Financial Data Disclosures. For so long following the Share Exchange Closing as a party hereto remains an investee of the other party and in the holding party’s judgment, applicable Securities and Exchange Commission financial reporting significance tests and thresholds require the disclosure of the investee’s financial statements with the holding party’s financial statements, the investee party shall provide to the holding party, on a quarterly basis no later than 30 days following the close of the relevant fiscal quarter or fiscal year, the investee party’s audited financial statements for the holding party’s reporting purposes. The failure by a party hereto to provide such financial statements in a timely manner shall be a material provision of this Agreement and the parties agree that a breach of these Section 2.4 requirements shall be considered an actionable default under this Agreement.

(c)

Any sales of Shares and Exchange Shares in violation of this Lock-Up Agreement by either party shall constitute an event of default under this Lock-Up Agreement and an equal number of Shares or Exchange Shares shall be forfeited by the selling party.

This remedy shall be in addition to all other remedies available to the parties at law or equity. If any portion of this Section 1 is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Section 1 shall be deemed amended to delete there from the portion so adjudicated, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of this Section 1 in the jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

(f)

Shares and Exchange Shares shall not at any time be used to cover “short” sales of the common stock of either MCOA or CBGL.

SECTION 3. Should any part of this Lock-Up Agreement, for any reason whatsoever, be declared invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced in whole or in part, such decision shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion, which remaining portion shall remain in full force and effect as if this Lock-Up Agreement had been executed with the invalid portion thereof eliminated, and it is hereby declared the intention of the parties hereto that they would have executed the remaining portion of this Lock-Up Agreement without including therein any portion which may for any reason be declared invalid.

SECTION 4. This Lock-Up Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such State without application of the principles of conflicts of laws of such State.
