(c) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Securities to be received by Seller hereunder will be acquired for Seller's own account, not as nominee or agent, and Seller is not a broker-dealer registered with the Commission under the Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered.

No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company or any Seller for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of Seller.
(e) Accredited Investor. Seller is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act ("Regulation D") and meets the requirements of at least one of the suitability standards for an accredited investor as set forth in Rule 501 of Regulation D. Seller, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial, tax and other matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and to make an informed investment decision with respect to, the prospective investment in the Securities, which represents a speculative investment, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Seller is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(f) Acknowledgement of Risk. Seller agrees, acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Securities involves a significant degree of risk, including, without limitation that: (a) the Company is a development stage business with limited operating history and may require substantial funds; (b) an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only Persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Securities; (c) the Seller may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d) transferability of the Securities is extremely limited; and (e) in the event of a disposition of the Securities, the Seller can sustain the loss of its entire investment. Seller has considered carefully and understands the risks associated with an investment in the Securities.
(g) Restricted Securities. Seller understands and agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not require registration under the Securities Act (based in part on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Seller contained herein), and that such Securities must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such registration. The Seller acknowledges that the Seller is familiar with Rule 144 and that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. The Seller understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, the Seller will be unable to sell any Securities without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.
(h) Reliance on Representations. The Seller agrees, acknowledges and understands that the Company and its counsel are entitled to rely on the representations, warranties and covenants made by the Seller herein. Such Seller further represents and warrants that this Agreement and the Investor Questionnaire accompanying this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 do not contain any untrue statement or a material fact or omit any material fact concerning the Seller.
6. Piggy-Back Registration. If at any time on or after the date of this Agreement, the Company proposes to file a registration statement with the Commission in compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (a "Registration Statement") with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or by shareholders of the Company for its own account, then the Company shall register the sale of such number of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares and Option Shares converted into shares of the Company (collectively, the "Registrable Securities") as the Seller may request in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice (a "Piggy-Back Registration"). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof.

Expiration Date: May 18, 2019 at 5:00 PM, New York Time
ELITE DATA SERVICES, INC.(OTCBB:DEAC), a Florida corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, XXXXX & XXXXX & ASSOCIATES LLC, a Nevada limited liability and/or assigns, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Preferred Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Preferred and/or Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the "Warrant"), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 5:00 p.m., New York time, on May 18, 2019 (the "Expiration Date"), Three Million (3,000,000) fully paid nonassessable shares of Preferred Stock (as defined below) (the "Warrant Shares"). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Note and Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") dated as of May 18, 2016 by and among the Company and the original Holder hereof.
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part, by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company's transfer Agent ("Transfer Agent"). On or before the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall issue in book position, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Preferred Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are delivered by book position confirmation evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section IV) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Preferred Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
24 |
(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, the ("Exercise Price") means $0.001 per share for the total amount of the Warrant Shares granted to Holder in this Warrant.
(c) Payment of Exercise Price. Within two (2) Trading Days of the date of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall make payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds. In lieu of such cash payment, the Holder may also exercise the Warrant by delivery to the Company a written note of an election to effect a cashless exercise for Warrant Shares in whole or in part, pursuant to this Section 1(c) (the "Cashless Exercise"). To the effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder will surrender this Warrant for that number of shares of Preferred Stock determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between (i) the then current Market Price of a share of the Preferred Stock on the date of exercise, and (ii) the Purchase Price, and the denominator of which shall be the then current Market Price per share of Preferred Stock. In the event that this Warrant is not exercised in full immediately prior to the end of the Exercise Period, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised as to the remaining Warrant Shares at such time by Cashless Exercise without the delivery of any written notice from the Holder.
(d) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed.
(e) Beneficial Ownership. The Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person's affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The Company shall be entitled to rely on Holder's exercise notice as an indication that Holder will not, pursuant to such exercise, exceed the Maximum Percentage.

(the "Company") promises to pay to the order of XXXXX XXXXX AND ASSOCIATES LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and its authorized successors and permitted assigns ("Holder"), the aggregate principal face amount of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS (US $500,000.00), at ten percent (10%) interest per annum commencing on January 13, 2013, the execution date of the Original Note (the "Effective Date"), due and payable to Holder by Company in eight (8) separate equal quarterly payments of Sixty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars (USD $62,500.00), plus accrued interest to date, due on the first day of each quarter beginning on the date of the first quarter following the date of execution of this Note (each a "Maturity Date"), pursuant to the terms of Note and Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement dated even date herewith between Company and Holder, of which this Note is made apart. The Company will pay interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note at the sixth month anniversary and continuing until the Maturity Date. The forwarding of such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer. Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 3(f) herein.
This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:
1. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.
2. This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"), and applicable state securities laws.

The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date.
37 |
3. Note Conversions; Interest Payments; Prepayments, Transfers, Etc.
(a) The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, beginning on the 181th day after Effective Date, at any time, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") at a price ("Conversion Price") for each share of Common Stock equal to the lesser of $0.01 or a discount of fifty-eight percent (58%) of the lowest trading price of the Common Stock as reported on the OTCQB market place which the Company's shares are traded or any market upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future ("Exchange"), for the ten (10) prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company and its transfer agent (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered by electronic method of communication to the Company or its transfer agent after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price) beginning on the 181th day after Effective Date.
(b) If the shares have not been delivered within three (3) business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the transfer agent of the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within three (3) business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Accrued but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Company's Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Company 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 Company agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this decrease.
(c) At any time or times on or after the Maturity Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert all of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with the stated Conversion Price. The Holder shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock issuable in connection with the unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the following, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of 4.99% ("Conversion Limitation 1"). The Holder shall have the authority to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 3(c) will limit any conversion hereunder. The Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in this Section 3(c), in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61-days prior written notice to the Company to increase such percentage to up to 9.99% ("Conversion Limitation 2").
(d) The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion; if such issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share except in the event that rounding up would violate the conversion limitation set forth in section 3(c) above.
38 |
(e) If the Company, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock ("Convertible Securities"), other than the Note, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold (collectively, the "Common Stock Equivalents") and the aggregate of the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the consideration received by the Company for issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent (the "Aggregate Per Common Share Price") shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall make the Aggregate Per Share Common Price be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be reduced to the lower of: (i) the Conversion Price; or (ii) a twenty-five percent (25%) discount to the lowest Aggregate Per Common Share Price (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents are actually then exercisable, convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of the earlier of (A) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, or (B) the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 6 upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Issuance Date. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.
(f) Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum with the first payment being made on the sixth-month anniversary of this Note. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares").

The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.
4. The Holder agrees that so long as this Note from the Holder and the Company remains outstanding, the Holder will not enter into or effect "short sales" of the Common Stock or hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock of the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of a conversion notice by the Holder, the Holder immediately owns the shares of Common Stock described in the conversion notice and any sale of those shares issuable under such conversion notice would not be considered short sales.
5. No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.
6. The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereto.
7. The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in collecting any amount due under this Note.
8. If one or more of the following described "Events of Default" shall occur:
(a) The Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest on this Note to the Holder by the Company as of the Maturity Date; or
(b) Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein or in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note under which this note was issued shall be false or misleading in any respect; or
(c) The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any respect, any covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company under this Note or any other note issued to the Holder; or
(d) The Company shall (1) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; (2) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; (3) file a petition for bankruptcy relief, consent to the filing of such petition or have filed against it an involuntary petition for bankruptcy relief, all under federal or state laws as applicable; or
40 |
(e) A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or
(f) Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company; or
(g) One or more money judgments, writs or warrants of attachment, or similar process, in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate, shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder with the exception of the current litigation that is already disclosed as reported on the Company's public filings; or
(h) The Company shall have its Common Stock delisted from a market (including the OTCQB marketplace) or, if the Common Stock trades on an exchange, then trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended for more than ten (10) consecutive days;
(i) The Company shall not deliver to the Holder the Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 herein without restrictive legend within three (3) business days of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion (provided that a reasonable attorney opinion has been provided by Holder to the Company in which it deems it can reasonably rely); or
(j) The Company shall not be "current" in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and such shall not be cured within ten (10) business days; or
(k) The Company shall lose the "bid" price for its stock and a market (including the OTCBB marketplace or other exchange)
Then, or at any time thereafter, unless cured within five (5) business days, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or (further) notice of any kind (other than notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law. Upon an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law. In the event of a breach of Section 8(i) the penalty shall be $50 per day the shares are not issued beginning on the 5th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company. This penalty shall increase to $100 per day beginning on the 10th day. The penalty for a breach of Section 8(k) shall be an increase of the outstanding principal amounts by 20%. In case of a breach of Section 8(h), the outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by 50%. Further, if a breach of Section 8(m) occurs or is continuing after the 6-month anniversary of the Note, then the Holder shall be entitled to use the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period (after cure period) as a base price for the conversion. For example, if the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period is $0.01 per share and the conversion discount is 50% the Holder may elect to convert future conversions at $0.001 per share. If this Note is not paid at maturity, the outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by ten percent (10%).

9. At the Holder's election, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the conversion shares by the by the 3rd business day following the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company and if the Holder incurs a Failure to Deliver Loss, then at any time the Holder may provide the Company written notice and documentary evidence indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Failure to Deliver Loss and the Company must make the Holder whole as follows: Failure to Deliver Loss = [(High trade price at any time on or after the day of exercise) x (Number of conversion shares)]. Such failure to deliver will be repayable in the Company's Common Stock.
10. 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 provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
11. Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.
12. The Company represents that it is not a "shell" issuer and has never been a "shell" issuer or that if it previously has been a "shell" issuer that at least 12 months have passed since the Company has reported Form 10 type information indicating it is no longer a "shell issuer.

AAA shall designate an arbitrator from an approved list of arbitrators following both parties' review and deletion of those arbitrators on the approved list having a conflict of interest with either party.
