The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") shall be $1 per share of Common Stock. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which this Note shall be convertible shall be determined by dividing (i) the Conversion Amount by (ii) the Conversion Price. For the purposes of this Section 2(A), conversion shall be deemed to occur on the date that the ALPINE 4 receives an executed copy of the Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Exhibit A. Any failure by the Holder to provide such notice shall be deemed to be an election not to convert any portion of the Holder's Outstanding Balance.

Irrespective of the date of issuance and delivery of any certificates with respect thereto, shares of Common Stock purchased by conversion under this Section 3 shall be, and be deemed to be, issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the deemed date of conversion as provided in Section 3(a).

No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon the conversion exercise of this Note, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price shall be paid in cash to the Holder.

d.	General. The foregoing conversion rights are subject in all respects to compliance by the ALPINE 4 with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

4. Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth hereinafter.

If the ALPINE 4 shall, at any time or from time to time while this Note is outstanding, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the ALPINE 4 is the continuing corporation), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date on which such change shall become effective shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such change and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such change. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

b.	An adjustment to the Conversion Price shall become effective immediately after the payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date of each other event which requires an adjustment.

5. Security. This Note is secured, with a subordinated security interest, by the obligations due pursuant to and under the Security Agreement dated even or near date herewith.

In no event shall the Default Rate exceed the highest rate of interest which may be charged upon default against the obligation of Maker evidenced by this Note in accordance with the law applicable thereto.
