Article I - CONVERSION RIGHTS AND CERTAIN COVENANTS

At any time and from time to time, the Holder shall have the right to convert in whole or in part the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount under this Note into shares of Common Stock. The Outstanding Balance of Note together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon and any other amounts payable hereunder, or such portion thereof, that has not previously been converted into common stock, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), if any, shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date. Should Borrower fail to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over Borrower or any of it securities on Borrower’s ability to issue shares of Common Stock, in lieu of any right to convert this Note, this will be considered an Event of Default under the Note. The Holder shall have the right to convert the Outstanding Balance together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon of this Note into shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock as set forth below.

(a) Conversion Price. The conversion price for each conversion shall be equal to the lesser of (i) .22 or (ii) 80% of the average of the 5 lowest trading prices of the common stock during the previous twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions, similar events and Conversion Adjustments as set forth in this Note) as reported on the Nasdaq, NYSE, OTCQB or applicable trading market or as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder or as reported on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no VWAP of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the trading prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Borrower’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Borrower will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Borrower agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this adjustment. At any time after the note is funded, if in the case that the Borrower’s Common Stock is not deliverable by DWAC (including if the Borrower’s transfer agent has a policy prohibiting or limiting delivery of shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock specified in a Notice of Conversion), an additional 10% discount will apply for all future conversions under all Notes. If in the case that the Borrower’s Common Stock is “chilled” for deposit into the DTC system and only eligible for clearing deposit, an additional 15% discount shall apply for all future conversions under all Note. If in the case that the Borrower’s Common Stock is not trading on a listed exchange, an additional 15% discount shall apply for all future conversions under all Note. If in the case of both of the above, an additional cumulative 25% discount shall apply. Additionally, if the Borrower ceases to be a reporting company pursuant to the 1934 Act or if the Note cannot be converted into free trading shares after one hundred eighty-one (181) days from the Issue Date, an additional 15% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the Nasdaq, NYSE, OTCQB or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. The Borrower shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with any such issuance. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Conversion Price may be adjusted downward if, within three (3) business days of the transmittal of the Notice of Conversion to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent, the Common Stock has a closing bid which is 5% or lower than the closing bid price on the day the Notice of Conversion was submitted. If the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock have not been delivered within three (3) business days to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Notwithstanding the above calculation of the Conversion Price, if, prior to the repayment or conversion of this Note, in the event the Borrower consummates a registered or unregistered primary offering of its securities for capital raising purposes (a “Primary Offering”), the Holder shall have the right, in its discretion, to (x) demand repayment in full of an amount equal to any outstanding Principal Amount and interest (including Default Interest) under this Note as of the closing date of the Primary Offering or (y) convert any outstanding Principal Amount and interest (including any Default Interest) under this Note into Common Stock at the closing of such Primary Offering at a Conversion Price equal to the lower of (i) the Conversion Price and (ii) a 20% discount to the offering price to investors in the Primary Offering. The Borrower shall provide the Holder no less than ten (10) business days’ notice of the anticipated closing of a Primary Offering and an opportunity to exercise its conversion rights in connection therewith. To the extent the Conversion Price is below the par value per share, the Borrower will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law, provided however that the Borrower agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this increase. If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Conversion Price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the Conversion Amount for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been adjusted by the Holder to the par value price. In the event the Borrower has a DTC “Chill” on its shares, an additional discount of ten percent (10%) shall apply to the Conversion Price while that “Chill” is in effect. For purposes of this section, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

Each time, while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower enters into a Section 3(a)(9) transaction (including but not limited to the issuance of new promissory notes or of a replacement promissory note), or Section 3(a)(10) transaction, in which any 3^rd party has the right to convert monies owed to that 3^rd party (or receive shares pursuant to a settlement or otherwise) at a discount to market greater than the Conversion Price in effect at that time (prior to all other applicable adjustments in the Note), then the Conversion Price shall be automatically adjusted to such greater discount percentage (prior to all applicable adjustments in this Note) until this Note is no longer outstanding. Each time, while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower enters into a Section 3(a)(9) transaction (including but not limited to the issuance of new promissory notes or of a replacement promissory note), or Section 3(a)(10) transaction, in which any 3^rd party has a look back period greater than the look back period in effect under the Note at that time, then the Holder’s look back period shall automatically be adjusted to such greater number of days until this Note is no longer outstanding. The Borrower shall give written notice to the Holder, with the adjusted Conversion Price and/or adjusted look back period (each adjustment that is applicable due to the triggering event), within one (1) business day of an event that requires any adjustment described in the two immediately preceding sentences. The Conversion Price is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that the Company issues any Common Stock at a per share price lower than the Conversion Price (each a “Dilutive Price”) then in effect, provided, however, that Holder shall have the sole discretion in deciding whether to utilize such Dilutive Price instead of the Conversion Price otherwise in effect at the time of the respective conversion. Holder shall be entitled to deduct one thousand nine hundred dollars from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder’s deposit fees associated with each Notice of Conversion. If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Conversion Price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the Conversion Amount for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been adjusted by the Holder to the par value price.

(b) Adjustment to Conversion Price. At any time after the Issue Date, (i) if in the case that the Borrower’s Common Stock is not deliverable by DWAC (including if the Borrower’s transfer agent has a policy prohibiting or limiting delivery of shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock specified in a Notice of Conversion), (ii) if the Borrower ceases to be a reporting company pursuant or subject to the Exchange Act, (iii) if the Borrower loses a market (including the OTCBB, OTCQB or an equivalent replacement exchange) for its Common Stock, (iv) if the Borrower fails to maintain its status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason, (v) if the Conversion Price is less than or equal to one cent ($0.01) at any time after the thirtieth calendar day after the Issue Date, (vi) if the Note cannot be converted into free trading shares on or after six months from the Issue Date, (vii) if at any time the Borrower does not maintain or replenish the Reserved Amount (as defined herein) within three (3) business days of the request of the Holder, (viii) if the Borrower fails to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC Markets or an equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE MKT, (ix) if the Borrower fails to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; the reporting requirements necessary to satisfy the availability of Rule 144 to the Holder or its assigns, including but not limited to the timely fulfillment of its filing requirements as a fully-reporting issuer registered with the SEC, the requirements for XBRL filings, the requirements for disclosure of financial statements on its website, (x) if the Borrower effectuates a reverse split of its Common Stock, (xi) if OTC Markets changes the Common Stock of the Borrower or the Borrower’s designation to ‘No Information’ (Stop Sign), ‘Caveat Emptor’ (Skull and Crossbones), or ‘OTC’, ‘Other OTC’ or ‘Grey Market’ (Exclamation Mark Sign) or if it has any notation on the OTC Markets Group website other than “Current Information”, (xii) the restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC for any date or period from two years prior to the Issue Date of this Note and until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the unrestated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement, (xiii) any cessation of trading of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC Markets or an equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE MKT, and such cessation of trading shall continue for a period of five consecutive (5) Trading Days, and/or (xiv) the Borrower loses the “bid” price for its Common Stock ($0.0001 on the “Ask” with zero market makers on the “Bid” per Level 2), and/or (xv) if the Holder is notified in writing by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent that the Company does not have the necessary amount of authorized and issuable shares of Common Stock available to satisfy the issuance of Shares pursuant to a Conversion Notice, and/or (xvi) within three business days of the transmittal of the Notice of Conversion, the Common Stock has a closing bid which is lower than that set forth in the Notice of Conversion or if the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock have not been delivered within three business days, and/or (xvii) the Borrower’s Common Stock is “chilled” for deposit into the DTC system and only eligible for clearing deposit, then the Holder shall be entitled to an additional twenty percent (20%) discount for that conversion and all future conversions, for each occurrence, cumulative or otherwise, to be factored into the Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding and an additional $15,000 of principal shall be added to the Note.

(d) Conversion. The Holder shall have the option, but shall not be required, to convert all or a portion of the Note into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”). The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Outstanding Balance together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon of this Note to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price. The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company. Non ink-original Notice of conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization of any Notice of Conversion form be required.

(b) (e) Mechanics of Conversion. As a condition to affecting the conversion set forth in Section 1.1(b) above, the Holder shall properly complete and deliver to the Company a Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit B (“Conversion Notice” or Notice of Conversion”). The Notice of Conversion shall set forth the Outstanding Balance together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be affected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. Upon timely delivery to the Borrower of the Notice of Conversion, certificates evidencing that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance herewith shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit / Withdrawal at Custodian system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Conversion Shares to, or resale of the Conversion Shares by, the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Conversion by the date that is two Trading Days after the Conversion Date (such third day being the “Share Delivery Date”). The Borrower will not issue fraction shares or scrip representing fractions of shares upon conversion, but the Borrower will round the number of the shares up to the nearest whole share. Moreover, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, in the event Borrower or its transfer agent refuses to deliver any Conversion Shares or shares without a restrictive securities legend to Lender on grounds that such issuance is in violation of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), Borrower shall deliver or cause its transfer agent to deliver the applicable Conversion Shares to Lender with a restricted securities legend, but otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In conjunction therewith, Xxxxxxxx will also deliver to Lender a written explanation from its counsel or its transfer agent’s counsel opining as to why the issuance of the applicable Conversion Shares violates Rule 144.

(f) Charges. Issuance of Common Stock to Holder, or any of its assignees, upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance fee, transfer tax, postage/mailing charge or any other expense with respect to the issuance of such Common Stock. Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees incurred from the issuance of the Common Stock to Holder and acknowledges that this is a material obligation of this Note.

(g) Par Value Adjustments. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Borrower’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Borrower will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Borrower agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this adjustment, provided, however, that the Holder, in its sole and absolute discretion may elect to instead to set the Conversion Price to par value for such Conversion(s) and the Conversion Amount for such Conversion(s) shall be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such Conversion(s) to equal the same number of Conversion Shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been set to par value pursuant to this Section.

(h) Rescindment of a Notice of Conversion. If (i) the Borrower fails to respond to Holder within one business day from the date a Notice of Conversion is sent confirming the details of the Notice of Conversion, (ii) the Borrower fails to provide any of the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock requested in the Notice of conversion within two business days from the date of receipt of the Note of Conversion, (iii) the Holder is unable to procure a legal opinion required to have the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock issued unrestricted and/or deposited to sell for any reason related to the Borrower’s standing, (iv) the Holder is unable to deposit the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock requested in the Notice of Conversion for any reason (v) at any time after a missed deadline, at the Holder’s sole discretion, (vi) if, within three business days of the transmittal of the Notice of Conversion, the common Stock has a closing bid which is 5% lower than that set forth in the Notice of Conversion or (vii) if OTC Markets changes the Borrower’s designation to ‘Limited Information’ (Yield), ‘No Information’ (Stop Sign), ‘Caveat Emptor’ (Skull & Crossbones), ‘Otc’, ‘Other OTC’ or ‘Grey Market’ (Exclamation Mark Sign) or other trading restriction on the day of or any day after the Conversion Date, then the Holder maintains the option and sole discretion to rescind the Notice of Conversion by sending a Notice of Rescindment.

1.2 Obligation to Deliver Conversion Shares Absolute; Certain Remedies.

(a) Obligation Absolute. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. The Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. In the event that the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the Outstanding Balance hereof and accrued but unpaid interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this note, the Borrower may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Borrower posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of two hundred percent of the Outstanding Balance of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Borrow shall issue conversion shares upon a properly notices conversion. All payments under this Note (whether made by the Borrower or any other person) to or for the account of the Holder hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by reason of any present and future income, stamp, registration and other taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, together with interest thereon and penalties with respect thereto, if any on or in respect of this Note (such taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges being herein collectively called “Taxes”). The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

(b) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Delivery Date. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties to this Note agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered as required by the Share Delivery Date (a “Conversion Default”), Holder, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Outstanding Balance with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Borrower (under Xxxxxx’s and Xxxxxxxx’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the original date of the Note). In addition, for each conversion, in the event that the shares are not delivered as required by this Note by the Share Delivery Date, the Borrower shall pay the “Conversion Default Payment”. Such cash amount shall be paid to the Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued (the “Conversion Default Payment Due Date”). In the event such cash amount is not received by the Holder by the Conversion Default Payment Due Date, at the option of the Holder (without notice to the Borrower), the Conversion Default Payment shall be added to the Outstanding Balance of this Note and will tack back to the original date of the Note and interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note. If the Company does not deliver the Conversion Shares underlying this Note from its transfer agent after receipt of a Notice of Conversion within TWO (2) Business days following the period allowed for any objection, the Company shall be responsible for any differential in the value of the converted shares underlying this Note between the value of the closing price on the date the shares should have been delivered and the date the shares are delivered. In addition, if the Company fails to timely (within 72 hours, 3 business days), issue a treasury order to its transfer agent or otherwise cause to be delivered, the Conversion Shares per the instructions of the Holder, free and clear of all legends in legal free trading form, subject to all applicable securities laws, the Company shall allow Holder to add two (2) days to the look-back (the mechanism used to obtain the conversion price along with discount) for each day the Company fails to timely (within 72 hours, 3 business days)) deliver shares, on the next conversion.

(d) Adjustment. The number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 1.1(b), shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

(e) Reservation of Shares. The Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees at all times to have authorized and reserved the greater of; (a) 125,000,000 shares of Common Stock or (b) five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of this Note (based on the Conversion Price in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”). Initially, the Company will instruct the Transfer Agent to reserve 125,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the name of the Holder for issuance upon conversion hereof. The Holder has the sole right to have the Borrower’s transfer agent to increase the shares to equal the Reserved Amount at any time without the consent of the Borrower. The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time as required to ensure compliance with this provision. The Borrower represents and warrants and covenants and agrees that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of this Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to EXHIBIT C: IRREVOCABLE INSTRUCTIONS which forms a part of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note. Should any of the above events in this section occur, Company will have three business days to increase the reserve with their transfer agent or this will constitute an Event of Default. The Reserved Amount detailed in this Note is specific to this Note and it is in addition to any and all other shares reserved for the Holder in other notes or agreements. Further, it does not amend nor affect any previous Reserved Amount for the Holder. If at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount of five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of this Note sixty days after the issuance of the note, it shall constitute an Event of Default. Holder shall not be required to fund this note, until the proper amount of shares are reserved for this Note under the provisions of this Note or Exhibit C: Irrevocable Instructions. The Borrower will instruct its transfer agent to provide the outstanding share information to the Holder in connection with its conversions. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Reserved Amount be lower than the initial Reserved Amount, regardless of any prior conversions, and the Reserved Amount will be increased by a factor of two (2) each time the Borrower issues a variable price security or a security or convertible promissory note where the issuance of shares changes according to the market price of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Reserved Amount be lower than the initial Reserved Amount, regardless of any prior conversions. The Reserved Amount will be increased by a factor of two, each time the Borrower issues a Variable Security (as defined herein). A Variable Security shall mean any security issued by the Borrower that (i) has or may have conversion rights of any kind, contingent, conditional or otherwise in which the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such conversion right varies with the market price of the common stock; (ii) is or may become convertible into common stock, including without limitation convertible debt, warrants or convertible preferred stock, with a conversion or exercise price that varies with the market price of the common stock, even if such security only becomes convertible or exercisable following an event of default, the passage of time, or another trigger event or condition; or (iii) was issued or may be issued the future in exchange for or in connection with any contract, security, or instrument, whether convertible or note, where the number of shares of common stock issued or to be issued is based upon or related in any way to the market price of the common stock, including, but not limited to, common stock issued in connection with a section 3(a)(9) exchange, or a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. In the event that the Borrower shall be unable to reserve the entirety of the Reserved Amount (the “Reserve Amount Failure”), the Borrower shall promptly take all actions necessary to increase its authorized share capital to accommodate the Reserved Amount (the “Authorized Share Increase”), including without limitation, all board of directors actions and approvals and promptly (but no less than 60 days following the calling and holding a special meeting of its shareholders no more than sixty (60) days following the Reserve Amount Failure to seek approval of the Authorized Share Increase via the solicitation of proxies. If there are no shares available in the Share Reserve, the shares may be taken from “Company Use”, “Corporate Use” or any similar type of special Company category. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust or the Company’s current transfer agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and irrevocably directed by the Company to disclose the number of shares available in Company treasury and the “Company Use” or “Corporate Use” category to the Holder upon Xxxxxx’s request.

(f) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding other provisions of this Note and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon any conversion due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorization Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this section to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under the Note, and the then outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by Fifteen Thousand United States Dollars.

(g) Make-Whole Rights. Upon liquidation by the Holder of Conversion Shares issued pursuant to a Conversion Notice, provided that the Holder realizes a net amount from such liquidation equal to less than the conversion amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice (such net realized amount, the “Realized Amount”), at the election of the Holder, the value of the Conversion Amount less the Realized Amount owed shall be added back to the Outstanding Balance of the Note or the Borrower shall issue to the Holder additional shares of the Borrower’s Common stock equal to: (i) the conversion amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice; minus (ii) the Realized Amount, as evidenced by a reconciliation statement from the Holder (a “Sale Reconciliation” showing the Realized Amount from the sale of the Conversion shares; divided by (ii) the average volume weighted average price of the Borrowers Common Stock during the five business days immediately prior to the date upon which Xxxxxx delivers notice (the “Make-Whole Notice”) to the Borrower that such additional shares are requested by the Holder (the “Make-Whole Stock Price” (such number of additional shares to be issued, the “Make-Whole Shares”). Upon receiving the Make-Whole Notice and Sale Reconciliation evidencing the number of Make-Whole Shares requested, the Borrower shall instruct its transfer agent to issue certificates representing the Make-Whole Shares, which Make Whole shares shall be issued and delivered in the same manner and within the same time frames as set forth in Article II of this Note. The Make-Whole Shares, when issued, shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock. Following the sale of the Make-Whole Shares by the Holder: (i) in the event that the Holder receives net proceeds from such sale which, when added to the Realized Amount from the prior relevant Conversion Notice, is less than the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice, the Holder shall deliver an additional Make-Whole Notice to the Borrower following the procedures provided previously in this paragraph, and such procedures and the delivery of Make-Whole Notices shall continue until the Conversion Amount has been fully satisfied; (ii) in the event that the Holder received net proceeds from the sale of the Make-whole Shares in excess of the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice, such excess amount shall be applied to satisfy any and all amounts owed hereunder in the excess of the Conversion Amount specified in the relevant Conversion Notice.

(h) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. 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 commons Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance section 5.18.

(i) Security. The Note shall be secured though Exhibit E Security Agreement.

(j) Book Entry upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(j) Repayment from Proceeds. While any portion of this Note is outstanding, if the Company receives cash proceeds from any source or series of related or unrelated sources, including but not limited to, from payment from customers, the issuance of equity or debt, the conversion of outstanding warrants of the Borrower, the issuance of securities pursuant to an equity line of credit of the Borrower or the sale of assets from the date of this Note, the Borrower, shall, within one business day of Borrower’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the Holder of such receipt, following which the Holder shall have the right in it’s sole discretion to require the Borrower to immediately apply all or any portion of such proceeds to prepay all or any portion of the outstanding amounts owed under this Note pursuant to the formulas found in the Optional Redemption Right provision in this Note. Failure of the Borrower to comply with this provision shall constitute an Event of Default.

1.3 Effect of Certain Events. (a) Fundamental Transaction Consent Right. The Borrower shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below), unless the Borrower obtains the prior written consent of the Holder to enter into such Fundamental Transaction.

(b) Adjustment Due to Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of this Note, there shall be any Fundamental Transaction that is pre-approved in writing by the Holder pursuant to Section 1.2(a) above, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions.

(c) Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s stockholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining stockholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such Distribution.

(d) Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this section hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance. Such adjustments described above to the Conversion Price shall be permanent (subject to additional adjustments under this section). In the event that Borrower (or any subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then Borrower’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of Lender, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section will increase the Conversion Price.

The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (2) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(e) Purchase Rights. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(f) Adjustment Due to Non-DWAC Eligibility. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding thereafter, the Holder delivers a Notice of Conversion and at such time all DWAC Eligible Conditions are not then satisfied, the Borrower shall deliver certificated Conversion Shares to the Holder pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and the Non-DWAC Eligible Adjustment Amount shall be added to the Outstanding Balance of this Note, without limiting any other rights of the Holder under this Note or the other Transaction Documents.

(g) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or the addition of the Non-DWAC Eligible Adjustment Amount to the Outstanding Balance as a result of the events described in this Note, the Borrower, the Non-DWAC Eligible Adjustment Amount shall be added to the Outstanding Balance of this Note, without limiting any other rights of the Holder under this Note or the other Transaction Documents.

(h) Conversion Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Note, in the event Company (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any corporation or sell or transfer all or substantially of the assets of the Company or (ii) any person publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of Company’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the “Announcement Date”, then the conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of the (x) Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this section. For purposes hereof, “Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme for which a public announcement as contemplated by this section has been made, the date upon which Company (in case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender off or takeover scheme) which caused this section to become operative. If the effective Conversion Price as calculated in is less than one cent at any time (regardless of whether or not a Conversion Notice has been submitted to the Company), the Principal balance of the Note shall increase by fifteen thousand dollars (under Holder’s and Company’s expectation that any Principal Amount increase will tack back to the Issuance Date). In addition, the Conversion Price shall be permanently redefined to equal the lesser of one cent or forty percent of the lowest trade occurring during the thirty consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder elects to convert all or part of this Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note.

1.4 Method of Conversion. Note may be converted by the Holder, in whole or in part, as described in Section 1.1(a) hereof. Upon partial conversion of Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.

1.5 Limitations on Conversion. Holder shall not effect any conversion of this Note or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto, to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provision of this section. No prior inability to convert this Note, or to issue shares of Common Stock, pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Note. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally to the Holder and, if requested, in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Note. Should the Company fail to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities on Company’s ability to issue shares of Common Stock, in lieu of any right to convert this Note as described in this section, this shall be deemed an Event of Default. Upon full liquidation by the Holder of all Conversion Shares issued pursuant to a Conversion Notice, provided that the Holder realizes a net amount from such liquidation equal to less than the total Outstanding Balance of the Note (“Balance”), at the election of the Holder, the Balance less the value of all the Conversion Shares sold shall be added back to the Outstanding Balance of the Note.

1.6 Non-circumvention. The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the Borrower will not, by amendment of its Certificate or Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.

1.7 Amortization Payments. The Borrower shall make the following amortization payments (each an “Amortization Payment”), which payments shall not be subject to Section 4.1 hereof, in cash to the Holder towards the repayment of this Note, as provided in the following table:

1.11 Other Indebtedness. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not (directly or indirectly through any Subsidiary or affiliate) incur or suffer to exist or guarantee any Indebtedness that is senior to or pari passu with (in priority of payment and performance) the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section shall prevent a subsidiary to obtain a mortgage secured by real estate, either as a permanent mortgage or a construction loan, that may be senior to this Note.

1.12 Distributions on Capital Stock. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not without the Holder’s written consent (a) pay, declare or set apart for such payment, any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, property or other securities) on shares of capital stock other than dividends on shares of Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock or (b) directly or indirectly or through any subsidiary make any other payment or distribution in respect of its capital stock except for distributions pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan which is approved by a majority of the Borrower’s disinterested directors.

1.14 Sale of Assets. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition, but otherwise such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

1.15 Advances and Loans; Affiliate Transactions. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, lend money, give credit, make advances to or enter into any transaction with any person, firm, joint venture or corporation, including, without limitation, officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates of the Borrower, except loans, credits or advances (a) in existence or committed on the Issue Date and which the Borrower has informed Holder in writing prior to the Issue Date, (b) in regard to transactions with unaffiliated third parties, made in the ordinary course of business or (c) in regard to transactions with unaffiliated third parties, not in excess of $100,000. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, repay any affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower in connection with any indebtedness or accrued amounts owed to any such party outside the ordinary course of business. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, no current or, to the Knowledge of the Company, former, employee, partner, director, officer or shareholder (direct or indirect) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any associate, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any Affiliate of any thereof, or any relative with a relationship no more remote than first cousin of any of the foregoing, is presently, or has ever been, (i) a party to any transaction with the Company or its Subsidiaries (including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services by, or rental of real or personal property from, or otherwise requiring payments to, any such director, officer or shareholder or such associate or affiliate or relative Subsidiaries (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries)) or (ii) the direct or indirect owner of an interest in any corporation, firm, association or business organization which is a competitor, supplier or customer of the Company or its Subsidiaries (except for a passive investment (direct or indirect) in less than 5% of the common stock of a company whose securities are traded on or quoted through any securities market), nor does any such Person receive income from any source other than the Company or its Subsidiaries which relates to the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or should properly accrue to the Company or its Subsidiaries. No director, executive officer, or 10% or greater shareholder of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or member of his or her immediate family is indebted to the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, nor is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them, other than (i) for payment of salary for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, and (iii) for other standard employee benefits made generally available to all employees or executives (including stock option agreements outstanding under any stock option plan approved by the Board).

1.16 Restriction on Equity Sales. If at any time after the date that is six months from the funding of this note, Borrower is unable to issue Common Stock to Lender as result of any lock-up or other agreement or restriction prohibiting the issuance of Common Stock for a certain period of time, then the Outstanding Balance will automatically be increased by five percent for each thirty day period that the Borrower is prohibited from issuing Common Stock (which increase shall be pro-rated for any partial period). For the avoidance of doubt, such increase to the Outstanding Balance shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Lender under this Note and the other Transaction Documents and shall not be in lieu of, nor deemed to be a waiver of any other rights or remedies available to Lender under this Note or any of the other Transaction Documents, including without limitation calling an Event of Default if Borrower fails to deliver Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of this Note.

1.17 No Integrated Offering. Other than as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the Securities Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of shareholders of the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or under any applicable shareholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause the offering of any of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings of securities of the Company.

5.11 Legal Opinion. Upon request of the Holder, the Company’s counsel shall provide an opinion regarding the applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Note, which provides that upon conversion at any time following the date hereof, the shares received as a result of the conversion shall be issued unrestricted in accordance with the appropriate exemption. The Company agrees and accepts that any licensed attorney may provide an opinion regarding the applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note, which provides that upon conversion at any time following the date hereof, the shares received as a result of the conversion shall be issued unrestricted in accordance with the appropriate exemption. The Company further agrees and accepts that their transfer agent shall be able to rely upon any licensed attorney’s legal opinion regarding the applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note, which provides that upon conversion at any time following the date hereof, the shares received as a result of the conversion shall be issued unrestricted in accordance with the appropriate exemption. If the Company attempts to refuse the legal opinion of a licensed attorney chosen by the Borrower, such refusal shall constitute an Event of Default under this Note.

5.12 Post-Closing Expenses. Any Post-Closing Expenses not paid by the Borrower shall retroactively offset the reduction of the principal balance of this Note that occurs through the conversions. Failure by the Borrower to honor this provision shall be deemed an Event of Default.

5.13 Savings Clause. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provision of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In no event shall the amount of interest paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof allowable by applicable law. If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the excess collected shall be applied to reduce the principal debt. If the interest actually collected hereunder is still in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the interest rate shall be reduced so as not to exceed the maximum allowable under law.

5.14 Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection. In the event of any action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Note or any of the other documents related to this financing, the parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with the litigation and/or dispute without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.

5.15 Fees and Charges. The parties acknowledge and agree that upon the Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Note, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, the Holder’s increased risk, and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder, among other reasons. Accordingly, any fees, charges, and interest due under this Note are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not a penalty, and shall not be deemed in any way to limit any other right or remedy Holder may have hereunder, at law or in equity. Each time the Company incorrectly challenges a conversion request or fails to provide the current issued and outstanding to the Noteholder within five business days of the request, the Outstanding Balance of this Note shall increase by two thousand dollars. If within ten business days after the Clearing Date, the Common Stock has a trading price that is lower than that set forth in the Notice of Conversion, the Conversion price will be reset and reduced to the lowest traded price during that period. The Clearing Date is the date that the shares are in the brokerage account of the Investor and approved for sale by the compliance department of the brokerage firm holding the shares.

5.16 Notice of Corporate Events. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Holder of this Note shall have no rights as a Holder of Common Stock unless and only to the extent that it converts this Note into Common Stock.

The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this section.

5.17 Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing covenants or any of the covenants or agreements contained in any other Transaction Document, by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of such Holder), in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the Transaction Documents, the Holder shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such breach or such material, non-public information, as applicable, without the prior approval by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents.

To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to the Holder without the Holder’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Holder shall not have any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor the Holder shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Holder, to make the Press Releases and any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filings and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) the Holder shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release).

5.41 Right of First Refusal. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Company has a bona fide offer of capital financing from any 3rd party, that the Company intends to act upon, then the Company must first offer such opportunity to the Holder to provide such capital or financing to the Company on the same terms as each respective 3rd party’s terms. Should the Holder be unwilling or unable to provide such capital or financing to the Company within 10 trading days from Xxxxxx’s receipt of written notice of the offer (the “Offer Notice”) from the Company, then the Company may obtain such capital or financing from that respective 3rd party upon the exact same terms and conditions offered by the Company to the Holder, which transaction must be completed within 30 days after the date of the Offer Notice. If the Company does not receive the capital or financing from the respective 3rd party within 30 days after the date of the respective Offer Notice, then the Company must again offer the capital or financing opportunity to the Holder as described above, and the process detailed above shall be repeated. The Offer Notice must be sent via electronic mail to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xx.xx

5.42 Variable Security Blocker. The Borrower shall not enter into a similar type financing transaction (e.g. convertible promissory note) with, or issue a Variable Security to, any party other than the Holder while the Note and Warrants are outstanding. A Variable Security shall mean any security issued by the Borrower that (i) has or may have conversion rights of any kind, contingent, conditional or otherwise in which the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such conversion right varies with the market price of the common stock; (ii) is or may become convertible into common stock (including without limitation convertible debt, warrants or convertible preferred stock), with a conversion or exercise price that varies with the market price of the common stock, even if such security only becomes convertible or exercisable following an event of default, the passage of time, or another trigger event or condition; or (iii) was issued or may be issued in the future in exchange for or in connection with any contract, security, or instrument, whether convertible or not, where the number of shares of common stock issued or to be issued is based upon or related in any way to the market price of the common stock, including, but not limited to, common stock issued in connection with a Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. The Borrower agrees that this is a material term of the Note and any breach of this Section will result in an Event of Default under this Note.

5.43 Opportunity to Consult with Counsel. The Borrower represents and acknowledges that it has been provided with the opportunity to discuss and review the terms of this Note and the other Transaction Documents with its counsel before signing it and that it is freely and voluntarily signing the Transaction Documents in exchange for the benefits provided herein. In light of this, the Borrower will not contest the validity of Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated therein. The Borrower further represents and acknowledges that it has been provided a reasonable period of time within which to review the terms of the Transaction Documents.

5.44 International ACH Transaction Specification (“ACH”) Option. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, on any date for an Amortization Payment or at any time on or after the date that an Event of Default occurs under this Note, and at the Lender’s option in addition to any other rights and remedies as set forth in this Note, the Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to deduct International ACH payments from the bank account (“ACH debit transaction or International ACH debit transaction”) (initially, the bank account identified on Exhibit H attached hereto, but also including any subsequent bank account of the Borrower if such account is changed) of the Borrower (or any of its subsidiaries) in the amount of up to $99,800.00 per calendar month until such time as the Borrower has paid an amount equal to the principal balance, interest, accrued interest, and any other fees as set forth in the Note. Borrower shall provide Lender with all required access codes to effectuate any and all International ACH debit transactions as provided for in this Note. Xxxxxxxx understands that it is responsible for ensuring that at least the minimum amounts identified above remain in the Borrower’s bank account (the “Bank Account”) on each business day until this Loan is satisfied in full, and that the Borrower shall be responsible for any charges incurred by the Lender resulting from a rejected ACH attempt, insufficient funds in the Bank Account, and/or all related bank charges. Such charges shall be immediately added to the outstanding balance of the Note. Lender shall not be responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that result from Xxxxxx’s ACH debiting of the Borrower’s bank account as provided in this Note. The Lender may, from time to time, provide a schedule to the Borrower via electronic mail (each a “Schedule”), showing the outstanding balance of the Note as well as all ACH debits, and/or all other adjustments as provided in the Loan (the “Schedule”). If the Borrower does not respond to the Lender, via electronic mail, stating that the respective Schedule is accurate or disputing the amounts contained therein (with objective documentation unequivocally supporting such dispute), within two (2) business days of receipt of the respective Schedule, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have irrevocably approved the amounts contained in such respective Schedule. In the event that the Borrower fails to meet the requirements of this section, this shall be deemed an Event of Default. If the Borrower changes it bank account to an account that differs from the bank account specified on Exhibit B attached hereto, without (i) prior signed written consent of the Lender and (ii) Xxxxxxxx’s execution of a signed authorization agreement for preauthorized payments that is exactly the same as the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (except for the new bank account information) with respect to the new bank account, this shall be deemed an Event of Default. If the Borrower blocks, rejects, or otherwise restricts any action taken by Lender pursuant to Lender’s rights under this Note with respect to the Borrower’s bank account, including but not limited to Lender’s withdrawal of the amount due for an Amortization Payment pursuant to an International ACH debit transaction or otherwise from the Borrower’s bank account, or the Lender’s withdrawal of funds from the Borrower’s bank account pursuant to an ACH debit transaction or otherwise is rejected for any reason. The monthly repayment amount shall automatically adjust to such prorated higher amount based upon the addition of charges to the Outstanding Balance of Note, as well as to reflect any penalties incurred or events of defaults triggered under the terms of the Note (to be calculated as follows: the total outstanding amount under the Note (including but not limited to all principal, interest, charges, penalties, and additions due to any event of default) divided by the number of business days remaining prior to the Maturity Date). Lender shall not be responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that result from Xxxxxx’s ACH debiting of the repayment amount as provided in this Note and the exhibits hereto.

5.45 Dilutive Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Warrant Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable on any exercise of the Preferred Shares will increase in certain circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable on any exercise of the Preferred Shares in accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants and the Certificate of Designations is, absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

5.46 Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.47 Real Property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries holds good title to all real property, leases in real property, facilities or other interests in real property owned or held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Real Property”) owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as applicable).

Any Real Property held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

5.48 Fixtures and Equipment. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the tangible personal property, equipment, improvements, fixtures, and other personal property and appurtenances that are used by the Company or its Subsidiary in connection with the conduct of its business (the “Fixtures and Equipment”).

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns all of its owned Fixtures and Equipment free and clear of all Liens except for (a) Liens for current taxes not yet due, and (b) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property subject thereto.

(a)

The Company and its Subsidiaries (A) are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws, (B) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (C) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)

No Hazardous Materials have been disposed of or otherwise released from any Real Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of any Environmental Laws; or are present on, over, beneath, in or upon any Real Property or any portion thereof in quantities that would constitute a violation of any Environmental Laws.

None of the Company’s Intellectual Property Rights have expired or terminated or have been abandoned or are expected to expire or terminate or are expected to be abandoned, within five years from the Effective Date. To the Knowledge of the Company, there is no infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others.

Commencing on the initial Covenant Measuring Date, the Company shall publicly disclose and disseminate (such date, the “Announcement Date”), if any Financial Test has not been satisfied for such calendar month, Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable, a statement to that effect no later than the tenth (10^th) day after the end of such calendar month, Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable, and such announcement shall include a statement to the effect that the Company is (or is not, as applicable) in breach of a Financial Test for such calendar month, Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable. On the Announcement Date, the Company shall also provide to the Holder a certification, executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, certifying that the Company satisfied the Financial Tests for such calendar month, Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable, if that is the case. If the Company has failed to meet one or more Financial Tests for a calendar month, Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable, (each a “Financial Covenant Failure”), on or prior to the Announcement Date, the Company shall provide to the Holders a written certification, executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, certifying that such Financial Test(s) has not been met for such calendar month, Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable (a “Financial Covenant Failure Notice”).

5.52 Independent Investigation.

If the Independent Investigator determines that such breach of this Note has occurred, the Independent Investigator shall notify the Company of such breach and the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of the Note of such breach. In connection with such investigation, the Independent Investigator may, during normal business hours, inspect all contracts, books, records, personnel, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, to the extent available to the Company after the Company uses reasonable efforts to obtain them, the records of its legal advisors and accountants (including the accountants’ work papers) and any books of account, records, reports and other papers not contractually required of the Company to be confidential or secret, or subject to attorney-client or other evidentiary privilege, and the Independent Investigator may make such copies and inspections thereof as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company shall furnish the Independent Investigator with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business and properties of the Company as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company shall permit the Independent Investigator to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with, and to make proposals and furnish advice with respect thereto to, the Company’s officers, directors, key employees and independent public accountants or any of them (and by this provision the Company authorizes said accountants to discuss with such Independent Investigator the finances and affairs of the Company and any Subsidiaries), all at such reasonable times, upon reasonable notice, and as often as may be reasonably requested.

5.53 Confession Of Judgment. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers, the Lender and any attorney-at-law, each as the Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, to appear ex parte in any court of record and to confess judgment against the Company for the unpaid amount of this Note as evidenced by an affidavit signed by Xxxxxx setting forth the amount then due, including attorneys’ fees plus costs of suit, and to release all errors, and waive all rights of appeal. If a copy of this Note verified by an affidavit, shall have been filed in the proceeding, it will not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney. The Borrower waives the right to contest Xxxxxx’s rights under this section, including without limitation the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect. No single exercise of the foregoing warrant and power to confess judgment will be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable, or void; but the power will continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as Holder may elect until all amounts owing on this Note have been paid in full. The Company hereby further waives and releases any and all claims or causes of action which the Company might have against any attorney acting under the terms of authority which the Company has granted herein arising out of or connected with the confession of judgment hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Holder shall not exercise its rights with respect to the foregoing power of attorney unless or until an Event of Default has occurred. Neither the Confession of Judgment nor the Investor shall not be bound by Section 5.6 of this Agreement and the Investor shall have the option to commence legal proceedings with any court of their choosing.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Xxxxxxxx has caused Note to be signed in its name by an authorized officer as of the 29^th day of November 2023.

Exhibit A1

Definitions

“Closing Bid Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”), or other applicable primary trading market as reported by a reliable reporting service designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTCBB is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (formally Pink Sheets LLC). If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Closing Bid Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the Holder in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Note. In the event that a bid price does not exist for one of the twenty days used to calculate the Market Price, of it the Company loses DTC eligibility, or gets “chilled for deposit”, then instead of using zero, the Conversion Price shall be .00001.

“Conversion Default Payment” Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Share Delivery Date the Borrower shall pay to the Holder the Conversion Default Payment. Conversion Default Payment shall mean $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Share Delivery Date that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock until the Borrower issues and delivers a certificate to the Holder or credits the Holder’s account with the Borrower’s transfer agent for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Xxxxxx’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (under Xxxxxx’s and Borrower’s expectation that any damages will tack back to the Issue Date). Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, and interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Note are justified.

“Event of Default Effect” shall mean (a) the Outstanding Balance, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration shall immediately increase to one hundred and fifty percent of the Outstanding Balance (except with respect to Sections 2(m), 2(n), 2(t), 2(u), 2(w), 2(bb), 2(ll) and 2(mm) and 2(vv), in which case the one hundred and fifty percent shall be replaced with two hundred percent) immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default and such increase in the Outstanding Balance shall tack back to the Issuance Date of the Note, (b) this Note shall then accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate which shall be equal to the lesser of twenty four and a half percent per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law during a default on a Note and (c) the “Conversion Price”) shall be equal to sixty five percent multiplied by the lower of (i) the lowest intraday trading price in the forty Trading Days prior to the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) the lowest closing bid price in the one hundred Trading Days prior to the applicable Conversion Date. For purpose of this section, the trading price of the Common Stock shall be the trading price as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market, or the trading price in the over-the-counter market or, if the Common Stock is listed on another stock market or exchange, the trading price on such exchange as reported by xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx or the Wall Street Journal. For each additional Event of Default there will be an additional five percent discount to the conversion price. Interest calculated hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, shall compound daily and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note. The remedies under this note shall be cumulative and automatically added to the principal value of the Note. By acceptance hereof, Holder hereby warrants and represents to Borrower that Xxxxxx has no intention of charging a usurious rate of interest. Should any interest or other charges paid by Borrowers result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the highest rate permissible under applicable law, any and all such excess shall be and the same is hereby waived by the Holder hereof. Holder shall make adjustments in the Note as applicable, as necessary to ensure that Borrower will not be required to pay further interest in excess of the amount permitted by applicable law. All such excess all be automatically credited against and in reduction of the outstanding principal balance. The Default Effects shall automatically apply upon the occurrence of an Event of Default without the need for any party to give any notice or take any other action. The Holder need not provide, and the Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind regarding an Event of Default. Further, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Holder may by written notice to the Borrower declare the entire Outstanding Balance immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, immediately and without notice, all outstanding obligations payable by the Borrower hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Transaction Documents to the contrary (“Automatic Acceleration”). The Holder shall retain all rights under this Note and the Transaction Documents, including the ability to convert the then Outstanding Balance of this Note at all times following the occurrence of an Automatic Acceleration until the entire then Outstanding Balance has been paid in full. If one or more of the “Events of Default” as described in the Agreement shall occur, the Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which the Holder may incur in collecting any amount due under, or enforcing any terms of, this Note. The Borrower covenants that until all amounts due under this Note are paid in full, by conversion or otherwise, the Borrower shall notify Holder in writing within one day of any of the above Events of Default.

The provisions of this section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note. As a condition to pre-approving any Fundamental Transaction in writing, which approval may be withheld in the Holder’s sole discretion, Holder may require the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) to assume by written instrument all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Note and all the other transaction documents with the same effect as if such successor or acquirer had been named as the Borrower hereto and thereto. If Borrower engages in a Fundamental Transaction without the written consent of the Holder, the Fundamental Transaction shall be considered null and void. “Installment Date” shall mean six (6) months after the Issuance Date and on the same day of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date. Maturity Date shall mean November 29, 2024

“Market Price” means the lesser of (a) the lowest intraday trading price in the forty Trading Days prior to the applicable Conversion Date or (b) the lowest intraday trading price in the forty Trading Days prior to the date of this Note. For purpose of this section, the trading price of the Common Stock shall be the trading price as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market, or the trading price in the over-the-counter market or, if the Common Stock is listed on another stock market or exchange, the trading price on such exchange.

(regardless of whether or not a Conversion Notice has been submitted to the Company), the Principal balance of the Note shall increase by fifteen thousand dollars (under Xxxxxx’s and Company’s expectation that any Principal Amount increase will tack back to the Issuance Date).

The “Non-DWAC Eligible Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the number of applicable Conversion Shares multiplied by the excess, if any, of (i) the closing price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date, over (ii) the Trading Price of the Common Stock on the date the certificated Conversion Shares are freely tradable, clear of any restrictive legend and deposited in the Holder’s brokerage account. In any such case, Holder will use reasonable efforts to timely deposit such certificates in its brokerage account after it receives them and cause such restrictive legends to be removed, and, without limiting any other provision hereof, Borrower agrees to fully cooperate with Xxxxxx in accomplishing the same.

“Permitted Lien” means the individual and collective reference to the following: (i) any lien for taxes not yet due or delinquent or being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP, (ii) any statutory Lien arising in the ordinary course of business by operation of law with respect to a liability that is not yet due or delinquent, (iii) any Lien created by operation of law, such as materialmen’s liens, mechanics’ liens and other similar liens, arising in the ordinary course of business with respect to a liability that is not yet due or delinquent or that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (iv) Liens (A) upon or in any equipment acquired or held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to secure the purchase price of such equipment or indebtedness incurred solely for the purpose of financing the acquisition or lease of such equipment, or (B) existing on such equipment at the time of its acquisition, provided that the Lien is confined solely to the property so acquired and improvements thereon, and the proceeds of such equipment, (v) Liens incurred in connection with the extension, renewal or refinancing of the indebtedness secured by Liens of the type described in clause (iv) above, provided that any extension, renewal or replacement Lien shall be limited to the property encumbered by the existing Lien and the principal amount of the Indebtedness being extended, renewed or refinanced does not increase, (vi) leases or subleases and licenses and sublicenses granted to others in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, not interfering in any material respect with the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (vii) Liens in favor of customs and revenue authorities arising as a matter of law to secure payments of custom duties in connection with the importation of goods, (viii) Liens arising from judgments, decrees or attachments in circumstances not constituting an Event of Default, (ix) Liens incurred in connection with Permitted Indebtedness under clause (i) and, solely to the extent existing as of the Issuance Date, clause (ii) of the definition thereof (including any extensions, refinancings and renewals of such Indebtedness that constitute Permitted Indebtedness).

“Post-Closing Expenses” shall mean the cost of legal opinion production, transfer agent fees, escrow fees, equity issuance fees, fees charged for delivering, vetting and accepting physical certificates, any and all fees and costs charged by the Holder’s brokers or custodians in handling and transacting in the shares of the Company on behalf of the Holder, any costs incurred by the Holder in paying for a registration statement.

“Prohibited Transaction” shall refer to the issuance by the Company of any “future priced securities,” which shall mean the issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock where the purchase, conversion or exchange price for such Common Stock is determined using any floating discount or other post-issuance adjustable discount to the market price of Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to any equity line financing, stand-by equity distribution agreements, at the market transactions or convertible securities and loans, common stock issued in connection with a Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. Securities in a registered direct public offering or an unregistered private placement where the price per share of such securities is fixed concurrently with the execution of definitive documentation relating to the offering or placement, as applicable and securities issued in connection with a non-convertible secured debt financing, shall not be a Prohibited Transaction.

“Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time).

“Conversion Adjustments” shall mean if the Borrower issues a convertible promissory note or any instrument, security or agreement with a convertible feature to any Person other than the Holder or its Affiliates which contains a conversion price (the “Third-Party Conversion Price”) which is less than the effective Conversion Price (after giving effect to any shares of Common Stock issued, or issuable, to the Holder or its Affiliates in connection with this Note or any other agreement between the Borrower and the Holder), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the Third-Party Conversion Price. The Borrower shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with any such issuance, transfer or transaction. Holder shall be entitled to deduct the costs from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder’s deposit fees associated with each Notice of Conversion. In the case that conversion shares are not deliverable by DTC an additional ten percent discount will apply to the Conversion Price; and if the shares are ineligible for deposit into the DTC system, or if the Conversion Price is less than one cent at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Outstanding Amount of the Note shall increase by fifteen thousand dollars and an additional eighteen percent discount shall apply to the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the other terms of this Note. If no objection is delivered from Borrower to Holder regarding any variable or calculation of the conversion notice within twenty four hours of delivery of the conversion notice, the Borrower shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto. On the date that is thirty trading days (a “True-Up Date”) from each date Borrower delivers unrestricted Conversion Shares to Holder, there shall be a true-up where Holder shall have the right to require Borrower to deliver to Holder additional Conversion Shares (“True-Up Shares”) if the Conversion Price as of the True-Up Date is less than the Conversion Price used in the applicable Conversion Notice. In such event, Borrower shall deliver to Holder the True-Up Shares in a future Notice of Conversion. The number of True-Up Shares shall be equal to the difference between the number of Conversion Shares originally delivered to Holder pursuant to the applicable Conversion Notice and the number of Conversion Shares that would have been delivered to Holder on the True-Up Date based on the Conversion Price as of the True-Up Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Conversion Price as of the True-Up Date is higher than the Conversion Price set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice, then Borrower shall have no obligation to deliver True-Up Shares to Holder, nor shall Holder have any obligation to return any excess Conversion Shares to Borrower under any circumstance. Failure by the Holder to request True-Up Shares in a timely fashion shall not waive the right of the Investor to the True-Up Shares as Investor shall have an evergreen right to receive the True-Up Shares any time after the thirty trading days after a conversion. If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Conversion Price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the Conversion Amount for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been adjusted by the Holder to the par value price.
