 SCHEDULE OF MORTGAGE AND ACCRUED INTEREST

In November 2017, the Company entered into a 10-year mortgage agreement with Bank of New England in the amount of $4,895,000 (the “Initial Mortgage”) for the purchase of a 138,000 square foot industrial property in New Bedford, MA, within which the Company has built a 70,000 square foot cannabis cultivation and processing facility. Pursuant to the Initial Mortgage, the Company made monthly payments of (i) interest-only from the mortgage date through May 2019 at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 2.0%, with a floor of 6.25% per annum, and (ii) principal and interest payments from May 2019 to July 2020 at a rate equal to the prime rate on May 2, 2019 plus 2.0%, with a floor of 6.25% per annum.

In July 2020, at which time the Initial Mortgage had a remaining principal balance of approximately $4.8 million, the parties consummated an amended and restated mortgage agreement, secured by the Company’s properties in New Bedford and Middleboro in the amount of $13.0 million bearing interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum that matures in August 2025 (the “Refinanced Mortgage”). Proceeds from the Refinanced Mortgage were used to pay down the Initial Mortgage and approximately $7.2 million of promissory notes as further in Note 11 – Promissory Notes. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the outstanding principal balance of the Refinanced Mortgage approximated $12,499,000 and $12,834,000, respectively, of which approximately $358,000 and $335,000, respectively, was current.

The Company maintains another mortgage with Bank of New England from the 2016 purchase of a 45,070 square foot building in Wilmington, DE which was developed into a cannabis seed-to-sale facility and is currently leased to the Company’s cannabis-licensed client in that state. The mortgage matures in 2031 with monthly principal and interest payments at a rate of 5.25% per annum through September 2021, and thereafter the rate adjusting every five years to the then prime rate plus 1.5% with a floor of 5.25% per annum. For the remainder of 2021, the interest rate on this mortgage remained at 5.25%. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the outstanding principal balance on this mortgage approximated $1,463,000 and $1,576,000, respectively, of which approximately $130,000 and $114,000, respectively, was current.

In May 2016, the Company entered into a mortgage agreement with DuQuoin State Bank (“DSB”) for the purchase of properties in Anna, IL and Harrisburg, IL which the Company developed into two 3,400 square foot free-standing retail dispensaries. On May 5^th of each year, this mortgage is due to be repaid unless it is renewed for another year at a rate determined by DSB’s executive committee. The mortgage was renewed in May 2021 at a rate of 6.75% per annum. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the outstanding principal balance on this mortgage approximated $778,000 and $815,000 respectively, of which approximately $33,000 and $31,000, respectively, was current.

In July 2021, the Company purchased the land and building in which it operates its cannabis dispensary in Metropolis, IL. The purchase price consisted of 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were valued at $705,000 on the date of the transaction, and payoff of the seller’s remaining mortgage of approximately $1.6 million. In connection with this purchase, the Company entered into another mortgage agreement with DSB in the amount of $2.7 million that matures in July 2041 and initially bears interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum which is adjusted each year based on a certain interest rate index plus a margin. As part of this transaction, the seller was provided with a 30.0% ownership interest in Mari Holdings Metropolis LLC (“Metro”), the Company’s subsidiary that owns the property and related mortgage obligation, reducing the Company’s ownership interest in Metro to 70.0%. At December 31, 2021, the outstanding principal balance on this mortgage approximated $2,658,000, of which approximately $73,000 was current.

In February 2020, the Company entered into a mortgage agreement with South Porte Bank for the purchase and development of a property in Mt. Vernon, IL. Pursuant to the amended mortgage agreement, the mortgage shall be repaid in monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $6,000 which began in August 2021 and continues through its maturity in June 2022, at which time all remaining principal, interest and fees shall be due.
