agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 4. Conversion.
a) Voluntary
Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note shall be convertible,
in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the
conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(e) hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company
a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”),
specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (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. No 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.
To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the
entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder
shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion.
The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s).
The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) 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. 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 may
be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Conversion
Price. The fixed conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal $ per share (the
“Conversion Price”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time after the occurrence of any
Event of Default the Holder may require the Company to, at such Holder’s option and otherwise in accordance with the provisions
for conversion herein, convert all or any part of this Note into Common Stock at the Alternate Conversion Price. Nothing herein
shall limit a Xxxxxx’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 hereof and the
Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking
to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
c) [Intentionally
Omitted].
d) Mechanics of Conversion.
i. Conversion
Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall
be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted by (y) the
Conversion Price.
ii. Delivery
of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery
Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing
the Conversion Shares which, on or after the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date, shall be free of restrictive legends
and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by this Note) representing the number of Conversion Shares
being acquired upon the conversion of this Note, (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest (if the Company
has elected or is required to pay accrued interest in cash) and (C) a bank check in the amount of the Make-Whole Amount. All certificate
or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(d) shall be delivered electronically through the Depository
Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If the Conversion Date is prior to the
six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date, then the Conversion Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in the following form,
as appropriate:
“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND
SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT
BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN
A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE
144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN
ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”
iii. Failure
to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to
or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to
the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event
the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return
to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.
iv. Obligation
Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. 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; provided, however, that such delivery
shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder
of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company 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 to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion
of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder
in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain
in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to
the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or,
if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate
or certificates pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading
Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Share
Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Xxxxxx’s
right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver
Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it
hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise
of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under
applicable law.
v. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant
to Section 4(d)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open
market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating
to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition
to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase
price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B)
at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(d)(ii).
For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an
attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage
commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence,
the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein
shall limit a Xxxxxx’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition,
if the Company fails to timely (within three (3) Business Days), deliver the Conversion Shares per the instructions of the Holder,
free and clear of all legends in legal free trading form, the Company shall allow the Holder to add two (2) days to the look-back
(the mechanism used to obtain the Conversion Price along with the discount) for each Business Day the Company fails to timely (within
three (3) Business Days) deliver the Conversion Shares, on the next Conversion.
vi. Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 200% of the Required Minimum for the sole
purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive
rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes), not
less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in any transaction
document issued in connection with this Note) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon
the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that
all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
If, on the first Closing Date, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment
of interest on this Note is less than 200% of the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Company to file a Form 14A with the Commission to increase the number of authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock so that at least 200% of the Required Minimum shares of Common Stock are available for issuance upon conversion
of this Note and payment of interest on this Note at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 60th day
after such date.
vii. Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to
any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its
election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.
viii. Transfer
Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without
charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery
of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note
so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction
of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any
Notice of Conversion.
e) Xxxxxx’s
Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to
convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of
Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder
or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).
For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates
shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination
is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining,
unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion
of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes or the Warrants) beneficially owned
by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(e),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(e) applies, the determination of whether this Note is
convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of
this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed
to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers
a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company
shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s
most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by
the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s 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. In any case, the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities
of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of
the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event
exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares
of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section
4(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice
is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms
of this Section 4(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect
to such limitation. 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. The
limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.
Section 5. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise
makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents
(which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment
of interest on, the Notes), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including
by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event
of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall
be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares
of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) [Intentionally
omitted].
c) Subsequent
Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues
or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record
holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to
acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired
if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to
any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) 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 shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights
(provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such
extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase
Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in
the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
d) Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Note is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other
distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of
a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution"),
at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable upon complete exercise of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation,
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in
such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution
would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate
in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution
to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if
ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
e) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly,
effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets
in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether
by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange
their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common
Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization
or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted
into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions
consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization,
recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or
party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other
business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note,
the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately
prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(e) on the conversion of
this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving
corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such
Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior
to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(e) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes
of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration
based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction,
and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative
value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities,
cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate
Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any
successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”)
to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other transaction documents entered into contemporaneous
with this Note and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction
and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor
Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding
number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable
and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking
into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares
of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic
value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed
to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the
other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise
every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction
Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
f) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall
be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.
g) Notice
to the Holder.
i. Adjustment
to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall
promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice
to Allow Conversion by Xxxxxx. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C)
the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required
in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office
or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address
as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record
to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date
as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common
Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes,
or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously
file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this
Note during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice
except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict
of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors,
officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to
the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each
party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding
by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the
address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of

the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
e) Waiver.
Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a
waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or
the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or
deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note on any other
occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.
f) Severability.
If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any
provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances.
If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury,
the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under
applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead,
or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would
prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein,
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and
the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but
will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
g) Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative
and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s
right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The
Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided
herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof)
shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation
of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that,
in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies,
to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that
is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Note.
h) Next
Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
i) Headings.
