other than upon termination following a change in control, Mr. Dennedy is entitled to receive (i) one year regular base salary
and target annual incentive (if applicable) and (ii) a lump sum payment in cash in an amount equal to the total premiums that

a change in control, if Mr. Dennedy is terminated within 12 months without “cause” or the employment is terminated
by Mr. Dennedy due to a change in position, he is entitled to (i) two times the sum of (a) his annual base salary and (b) target
annual incentive, in each case determined by the greater of the rate applicable immediately prior to the change in control or

James
H Dennedy, as President and Chief Operating Officer (“Executive”), you are a valuable urban-gro, Inc. (“urban-gro”)
employee, and we expect you to make a significant contribution to urban-gro’s success. As a result, urban-gro wishes to
employ you under the terms of this Agreement.

 

1.
Employment Period. Subject to termination pursuant to Article 5 hereof, the term of the Executive’s employment by
urban-gro pursuant to this Agreement shall commence on February 18, 2021 (the “Effective Date”) and continue for the
period of three (3) years (the “Employment Period”). However, if a Change in Control occurs during the Employment
Period, the Employment Period shall expire no earlier than the first anniversary of the date on which such Change in Control occurs.

 

2.
Position. Executive shall initially be employed in the position set forth above, with the duties and responsibilities customarily
associated with that position. From time to time, urban-gro may determine that it is in urban-gro’s best interest to add
to, subtract from, or otherwise change your duties and responsibilities, or change or eliminate your title.

 

3. Best
Efforts. You shall devote your business time and attention to your duties as an employee of urban-gro. You shall use your
best efforts, energies, and skills to advance the business of urban-gro, to further and improve its relations with suppliers,
customers and others, and to keep available to urban-gro the services of its employees. You shall perform your duties in
compliance
with all laws and urban-gro’s published policies, including the employee handbook.

 

4.
Compensation. Your compensation will be pursuant to urban-gro’s standard programs in effect from time to time. urban-gro
reserves the right, however, in its sole discretion, to impose salary reduction, and/or other cost reduction programs, which may
reduce your targeted cash compensation (provided that any such program is not discriminatory and treats you the same as other
urban-gro employees holding similar positions). During the term of your employment, you shall be eligible to receive stock options,
restricted stock, stock units or other equity awards from time to time at the sole discretion of the Board in accordance with
urban-gro’s 2019 Incentive Stock Option Plan or other equity plans that may be adopted by urban-gro. You shall be eligible
to participate in any and all employee benefit plans made available from time to time to urban-gro employees generally.

 

5.
Termination. Your employment may be terminated for Cause by urban-gro, voluntarily by you, or without Cause by urban-gro.
The last date of your employment as a result of termination for any of these reasons is the “Termination Date.”

 

A.
Termination for Cause and Voluntary Termination. If your employment terminates for any of the following reasons: (a) your death,
disability, or legal incompetence; (b) the issuance by urban-gro of a notice terminating your employment “for Cause”
(which, for these purposes, means: (i) breach of any term of this Agreement or any other duty to urban-gro; (ii) dishonesty, fraud,
or failure to abide by the published ethical standards, conflict of interest, or other policies of urban-gro; (iii) your conviction
for any felony crime, or for any other crime involving misappropriation of money or other property of urban-gro; (iv) misconduct,
malfeasance or insubordination; or (v) gross failure to perform under this Agreement (not including simply a failure to attain
quantitative targets); or (c) you voluntarily resign your employment, then your salary will end on the Termination Date.

 

 

B.
Termination Without Cause. If your employment is terminated by urban-gro for any reason other than those identified in Paragraph
5.A., above, upon signing a release, you will be paid a severance (“Severance Payments”) equal to one (1) year regular
base and target annual incentive salary (if applicable), which will be at the rate applicable to you at the time your employment
terminates and will be paid during regular pay intervals during the one (1) year period (“Severance Period”). In case
of termination without Cause, you will also receive a lump sum payment in cash on the 60th day following the Termination Date
an amount equal to the total premiums you would be required to pay for twelve-months of COBRA continuation coverage under the
employer’s health benefit plan (i.e., medical, dental and vision coverage), determined using the COBRA premium rate in effect
for the level of coverage that you have in place for you and your dependents immediately prior to the Termination Date, regardless
of whether you or your dependents elect COBRA (the “COBRA Payment”). You will not otherwise be eligible for severance
under any urban-gro severance plan.

 

C.
Position. If urban-gro changes your position such that your responsibilities or compensation are substantially lessened (a “Change
of Position”), then you may terminate your employment due to a Change of Position if you provide notice to urban-gro within
30 days of the condition giving rise to the Change of Position and urban-gro fails to materially cure such condition within 30
days following the date of such notice, upon which failure to cure your employment shall immediately terminate for Change of Position.
Such termination for Change of Position will be deemed a termination by urban-gro without Cause for purposes of this Agreement
and you shall be entitled to the Severance Payments described in Paragraph 5.B. or 5.D, as applicable.

 

D.
Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if your employment hereunder is terminated within twelve
(12) months following a Change in Control (as defined below) by urban-gro (or its successor or assignee) without Cause or by you
due to a Change of Position, in addition to payment of any accrued but unpaid base salary and the balance of any earned and unused
vacation pay, as of the Termination Date, then you will be entitled to receive:

 

i.
A lump sum payment in cash on the 60th day following the Termination Date an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of (a) your
annual base salary and (b) target annual incentive, in each case determined by the greater of the rate applicable immediately
prior to the Change in Control or your Termination Date; and

 

ii.
A lump sum payment in cash on the 60th day following the Termination Date an amount equal to the COBRA Payment.You will not otherwise

of urban-gro’s assets under Section 409A.

the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of urban-gro’s business, or any division or unit thereof, whether by way
of sale of stock, sale of assets, merger or other transaction. Such assignment by urban-gro will not constitute nor be deemed
a termination of your employment by urban-gro and will not give rise to any rights under Paragraph 5 of this Agreement. After
such assignment, any further rights which you have under this Agreement will be the responsibility of the Assignee.

 

13.
General. This Agreement constitutes our full understanding relating to your employment with urban-gro, and replaces and
supersedes any and all agreements, contracts, representations or understandings with respect to your employment, including, without
limitation, your involvement with our Board of Directors effective August 24th, 2018. This Agreement is governed by and is to
be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to principles of
conflicts of law. In the event of a conflict between the terms hereof and the provisions of urban-gro’s Employee Handbook
or its Policies and Procedures, the terms hereof shall control; otherwise, the provisions of the Employee Handbook shall remain
applicable to your employment relationship. This Agreement may not be superseded, amended, or modified except in a writing signed
by both parties.

 

 

14.
Section 280G.

 

A.
Reduction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary,
if any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by urban-gro or its affiliates to your or for your benefit pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute parachute payments (“Parachute Payments”)
within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would, but for this Section 14, be subject to the excise tax imposed under
Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest
or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then the Covered Payments shall be either:

 

i.
reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax (that amount,
the “Reduced Amount”); or

 

ii.
payable in full if your receipt on an after-tax basis of the full amount of payments and benefits (after taking into account the
applicable federal, state, local and foreign income, employment and excise taxes (including the Excise Tax)) would result in the
Participant receiving an amount greater than the Reduced Amount.

 

B.
Order of Reduction. The Covered Payments shall be reduced in a manner that maximizes the Executive’s economic position.
In applying this principle, the reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code,
and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced
on a pro rata basis but not below zero.

 

C.
Determinations. Any determination required under this Section 14 shall be made in writing in good faith by the accounting firm
that was urban-gro’s independent auditor; or tax advisor immediately before the occurrence of the Change in Control (the
“Accountants”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations to you and urban-gro as requested by you or urban-gro.
You and urban-gro shall provide the Accountants with such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request
in order to make a determination under this Section 14. For purposes of making the calculations and determinations required by
this Section 14, the Accountants may rely on reasonable, good faith assumptions and approximations concerning the application
of Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code. The Accountants’ determinations shall be final and binding on you and urban-gro.
urban-gro shall be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by the Accountants in connection with the calculations required
by this Section 14.

 

15.
Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement are exempt from, or to the extent required,
comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”), and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted,
this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Section 409A. To the extent required to avoid an
accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A: each payment or benefit amount shall be construed as a separate identified payment;
if you are a “specified employee” when you separate from service, amounts of “nonqualified deferred compensation,”
if any, otherwise payable during the six-month period immediately following your separation from service shall instead be paid
on the first business day after the date that is six months following your separation from service (or, if earlier, your date
of your death).

 

 

In
witness whereof the parties have executed this Agreement this 18th day of February, 2021.
