EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 29th day of March, 2021, by and between Healthier Choices Management Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the holder signatory to the signature page hereto (the “Holder”).
WHEREAS, the Holder holds the
securities of the Company set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (such securities, the “Exchange Securities”); and
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company and the
Holder have agreed to exchange the Exchange Securities for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements, representations and warranties, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the
following terms have the meanings set forth in this Section 1:
“Affiliate” means any Person that, directly
or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
“Liens” means a lien, charge, pledge,
security interest, encumbrance, right of first refusal, preemptive right or other restriction.
“Rule 144” means Rule 144 promulgated by the
Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended or interpreted from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission having substantially the same purpose and effect as such Rule.
“Trading Day” means a day on which the
principal Trading Market is open for trading.
“Trading Market” means any of the following
markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE, American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, OTCQB,
OTCQX or the over the counter market as reported in the OTC Pink (also known as “Pink Sheets”) by OTC Markets Group Inc. (or any successors to any of the foregoing).
“Transaction Documents” means this Agreement,
all exhibits and schedules thereto and hereto and any other documents or agreements executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder.
2. Exchange. On the Closing Date (as defined below), subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Company agrees to issue to the Holders, in exchange for the Exchange Securities held by the Holder as of the date hereof and as set forth on Schedule
I attached hereto, a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) equal to the principal amount outstanding of such Exchange Securities as set forth on Schedule I divided by $0.0011. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Exchange would otherwise cause the Holder to exceed the beneficial ownership limitations (as defined below), the Company
shall only issue such number of Shares to the Holder that would not cause the Holder to exceed the maximum number of Shares permitted thereunder with the balance to be held in abeyance until written notice from the Holder that the balance (or
portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such limitations. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares
of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder, as determined pursuant to Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Exchange shall take place virtually at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP (“EGS”), on the second Trading Day (as defined above) after the date hereof, or at such other time and place as the
Company and the Holder mutually agree (the “Closing” and the “Closing Date”).
At the Closing, the following transactions shall occur (such transactions in this Section 2, the “Exchange”):
2.1 On the Closing Date, in exchange for the Exchange Securities, the Company shall issue the Shares to the Holder’s account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or
Withdrawal at Custodian system. Upon receipt of such certificate or other evidence of the delivery of the Shares to the Holder in accordance with this Section 2.1, all of the Holder’s rights under the Exchange Securities shall be extinguished and
Holder shall acknowledge the repayment of all outstanding indebtedness pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of August 18, 2020, the Company, among the Company, the Healthy Choice Markets. Inc. and The Vape
Store, Inc., a Florida corporation (collectively, the “Guarantors” and each individually, a “Guarantor”), Sabby Healthcare Master Fund, Ltd., and Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd. Subject only to the issuance of the Shares, the Holder
hereby releases, waives, discharges and relinquishes any and all rights, claims, demands, contentions and causes of action of every kind, nature, character and description whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, apparent or
concealed, fixed or contingent, arising from the Notes on or before the Closing Date, which it now has or hereafter may be entitled to claim against the Company, its directors, officers, managers, members, agents and employees (the “Released
Parties”), including but without limiting the generality of foregoing, all claims arising from or in connection with or otherwise resulting from any matter, event, state of facts, claim, contention or cause whatsoever, occurring or existing in
connection with or relating to the Credit Agreement and the debt evidenced by the Note on or before the Closing Date (collectively, the “Claims”). The Holder agrees that the waiver and release described in this Section 2.1 applies to all Claims,
whether or not the Holder currently knows about them or suspects that they exist. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein, none of the foregoing released Claims shall include any claims against a Released Party arising
by reason of such Released Party’s breach of this Agreement. In addition, none of the foregoing releases extend to any breach of this Agreement, and no remedies for any such breach are being released herein. At Closing, the Holder shall deliver
the original Note evidencing the indebtedness pursuant to the Credit Agreement, marked paid in full or such other evidence of payment in full as the Company shall reasonably request. The Holder agrees the Credit Agreement and each of the
Guaranties shall be deemed terminated as of Closing and the Company may file upon Closing any termination statements needed to terminate UCC-1 financing statements filed by the Holder in connection with the Loan Agreement.

a material adverse effect on the business, operations or financial condition of the Company.
4.3 Valid Issuance of the Securities. The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and
paid for in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents. The
Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock a number of shares of Common Stock for issuance of the Shares issued hereunder.
4.4 Acknowledgment Regarding Holder’s Exchange of Exchange Securities for Shares. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder is acting solely in the capacity of arm’s length Holder with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and that the Holder is not (i) an officer or director of the Company,
(ii) an “affiliate” of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), or (iii) to the knowledge of the Company, a “beneficial owner” of more than 10% of the shares of Common Stock (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Company further acknowledges that the Holder is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, and any advice given by the Holder or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to the Holder’s acceptance of the Shares. The Company

acting independently in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and is not acting as part of a “group” as such term is defined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
4.6 Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its

materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and issuance of the Shares which have been requested by the Holder. The Holder has had the opportunity to review the Company's filings
with the Commission. The Holder and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Holder or its advisors, if any, or
its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Holder’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. The Holder understands that its investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk. The Holder has
sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares. The Holder is relying solely on its own accounting, legal and tax advisors, and not
on any statements of the Company or any of its agents or representatives, for such accounting, legal and tax advice with respect to its acquisition of the Shares and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
5.3 No Governmental Review. The Holder understands that no United States federal or state
agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits
of the offering of the Shares.
5.4 Validity; Enforcement; No Conflicts. This Agreement to which the Holder is a party
has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Holder and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Holder enforceable against the Holder in accordance with their respective terms, except as
such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’
rights and remedies. The execution, delivery and performance by the Holder of this Agreement to which the Holder is a party and the consummation by the Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the
organizational documents of the Holder or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Holder is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities or “blue sky” laws) applicable to
the Holder, except in the case of clause (ii) above, for such conflicts, defaults or rights which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Holder to perform its
obligations hereunder.
5.5 Ownership of the Exchange Securities. The Holder owns and holds, beneficially and of
record, the entire right, title, and interest in and to the Exchange Securities set forth on the signature page hereto free and clear of all rights and Liens. The Holder has full power and authority to transfer and dispose of the Exchange
Securities to the Company free and clear of any right or Lien. Other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, there is no outstanding vote, plan, pending proposal, or other right, of any Person to acquire all or any part of the
Exchange Securities.
5.6 No Commission Paid. Neither the Holder nor any of its Affiliates nor any person
acting on behalf of or for the benefit of any of the foregoing, has paid or given, or agreed to pay or give, directly or indirectly, any commission or other remuneration (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder) for soliciting the Exchange.
