2.7 In furtherance thereof, in addition to the other representations and warranties of the undersigned Investor made herein, the undersigned further represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company as follows: (i) the undersigned realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the undersigned is subscribing for and acquiring the Notes for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise; (ii) the undersigned has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his/her/its investment in the Securities, has adequate means for providing for his/her/its current needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Securities offered by the Company; (iii) the undersigned, either individually or by its officers and principals, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities; (iv) the undersigned, if an entity and not a “natural person,” represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities; (v) the undersigned has been provided an opportunity for a reasonable period of time prior to the date hereof to obtain additional information concerning the Offering, the Company and all other information the undersigned deems relevant, to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense; and (vi) the undersigned understands that as of the date of this Offering and perhaps for the foreseeable future, the Company is not a reporting company under nor has it filed any reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

2.16 The undersigned understands that the Notes and the conversion price of $1.00 per Share applicable to the principal amount and accrued interest does not necessarily bear any relation to the assets, book value or net worth of the Company and was determined arbitrarily by the Company and its management after taking into consideration, among other things, the Company’s new business direction, name change and (1 for 200) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
2.17 The undersigned further understands that there is a substantial risk of further dilution on his/her/its investment in the Company because of the issuance and sale of additional Notes, Shares or other securities by the Company.

2.19 Neither the execution or delivery by the undersigned of this Subscription Agreement to which the undersigned is a party, nor the consummation or performance by the undersigned of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will, directly or indirectly, (a) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any provision of the organizational documents of the undersigned (if the undersigned is not a natural person); (b) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default (or an event or condition which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination or acceleration of, any agreement or instrument to which the undersigned is a party or by which the properties or assets of the undersigned are bound; or (c) contravene, conflict with, result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, impair the rights of the undersigned under, or alter the obligations of any person under, or create in any person the right to terminate, amend, accelerate or cancel, or require any notice, report or other filing (whether with a governmental authority or any other person) pursuant to, or result in the creation of a lien on any of the assets or properties of the undersigned under, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the undersigned is a party or any of the undersigned’s assets and properties are bound or affected.

2.23 The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the Company may refuse to transfer the Securities, unless the undersigned complies with this Subscription Agreement and any other restrictions on transferability set forth herein.

Capitalized terms not defined in this Note shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreement dated as of the date hereof.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
Section 1. The Note:
1.1 This Note in the principal amount of $____________ (the “Principal”) is being issued to the Holder pursuant to the Subscription Agreement between the Company and the Holder dated ___________, 2018.
1.2 This Note is being issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated under Regulation D thereunder.

1.3 The Holder hereby represents to the Company that the Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.
1.4 The Holder acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the terms of the above-referenced Subscription Agreement that this Note: (i) bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum (the “Interest”); (ii) is due and payable on a date twelve (12) months from the Issuance Date (the “Maturity Date”); and (iii) the Interest and principal amount of this Note payable to Holder is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) at a conversion price of $1.00 per Share (the “Conversion Price”).

2.3 The Company may prepay the Principal and Interest due on this Note provided that the Company delivers twenty (20) days advance written notice of the Holder (the “Prepayment Notice”).
2.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2 above, the entire unpaid Principal sum of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, unless the same shall be converted into Shares, shall become immediately due and payable upon: (i) the execution by the Company of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against the Company of a petition in bankruptcy or any petition for relief under the federal bankruptcy act or the continuation of such petition without dismissal for a period of 90 days or more; or (iii) the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of the property or assets of the Company.
2.5 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.2 through 2.4 above, the Holder, at any time after the Issuance Date or prior to the expiration of the twenty (20) day period following which the Company has given Holder the Prepayment Notice, may, at Holder’s sole discretion, elect to convert the entire unpaid Principal together with accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, into Shares at the Conversion Price set forth in Section 1.4 above, in accordance with the procedures of Section 3 below.
Section 3. Conversion:
3.1 The Holder shall have the option to (i) convert this Note and any accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time during the term of the Note or (ii) upon the Maturity Date. The number of shares that shall be issuable upon conversion of the Note shall equal the number derived by dividing (x) the principal amount of the Note plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon by (y) US $1.00. No fractional shares shall be issued upon a conversion. In lieu of any fractional shares to which Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall round up to the nearest whole share. In order to convert this Note in to Common Stock, the Holder must deliver a dated and signed notice of conversion (the “Notice of Conversion”), a copy of which is attached to this Note as Exhibit A, stating its intention to convert the full principal amount of this Note into Common Stock, Notices of Conversion shall be deemed delivered on the date sent, if personally delivered, to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer at the Company’s principal place of business, or when actually received if sent by another method. The Notice of Conversion shall be accompanied by the original Note.
(i) As soon as possible after the conversion has been effected (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), the Company or acquirer shall deliver to the converting holder a certificate or certificates representing the Common Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting holder has specified.
11
(ii) The issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the holder hereof in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company or acquirer in connection with such conversion.

Section 4. Transfer; Successors and Assigns:
The terms and conditions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Parties.
