This Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) is being issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2022 by and among Maker and Payee (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Maker is purchasing all of the outstanding equity interests of NEXT LEVEL INTERNET, INC., a California corporation.

2. Interest. Interest on this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding at the rate of ZERO PERCENT (0.00%) per annum (the “Base Rate”), computed on a year consisting of 360 days. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), this Note shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus EIGHTEEN PERCENT (18.00%) per annum (the “Default Rate”); provided, however, that the rate of interest (either Base Rate or Default Rate) accruing and payable from time to time shall never exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (as hereinafter defined). In the event that the rate of interest (either Base Rate or Default Rate) accruing and payable at any time would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate at any time, such interest rate shall be reduced to the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, Payee does not intend to charge and Maker shall not be required to pay any interest or other fees or charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law; and any payments in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall be refunded to Maker or credited to reduce principal hereunder.
3. Payments. This Note shall be payable in eight equal quarterly installments of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND and NO/100 UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($250,000.00) (each, an “Installment Payment”), commencing on April 30, 2022 and continuing on each following January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 (each, an “Installment Payment Date”) until and including January 31, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time all remaining principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable in full. If any payment on this Note shall become due on a date other than a Business Day (as hereinafter defined) then such payment shall be due on the first Business Day that follows such payment due date. For purposes hereof, “Business Day” shall mean any day excluding Saturday, Sunday and any day which is a legal holiday under the laws of the State of New York or is a day on which banking institutions located in such state are required by law or other governmental action to close.
4. Conversion. This Note may be converted into shares of DIGERATI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the “Issuer”) Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Stock”) as follows:
(a) Definitions.
(i) “Conversion Notice” means (A) the Notice of Conversion in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Note accompanied by (B) the Lock-Up Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Note, and (C) the Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C to this Note, each with all blanks completed and signed by Payee.
(ii) “Conversion Price” means an amount equal to the volume weighted average price per share of Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date on which a Conversion Notice is received by Maker; provided, however, that (i) if the Stock is not then listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Conversion Price shall be the volume weighted average transaction price per share reported by the OTC Reporting Facility for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date on which such Conversion Notice is received by Maker and (ii) if, at any time within the 10 consecutive trading days prior to receipt of a Conversion Notice by Maker, the Stock was offered and sold by the Issuer to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, the Conversion Price shall be the price to the public set forth in the most recent prospectus included in such registration statement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a stock subdivision or combination during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date on which a Conversion Notice is received by Maker, the volume weighted average price per share of Stock for those days prior to the stock subdivision or combination shall be adjusted to reflect such subdivision or combination.
(iii) “Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(b) Conversion.
(i) All or a portion of the unpaid principal amount outstanding on this Note may be converted on a one-time basis into shares of Stock at the option of Payee, in Payee’s sole and absolute discretion, at any time during the period either (A) commencing on the six-month anniversary of this Note and ending 30 days after such six-month anniversary or (B) if Maker elects to prepay this Note in accordance with the terms of Section 7 hereof prior to the six-month anniversary of this Note, commencing on the date of Payee’s receipt of notice of Maker’s intention to prepay this Note and ending 30 days thereafter, each in accordance with the procedure set forth in this Section 4(b).
(ii) If Payee desires to convert all or a portion of the unpaid principal amount outstanding of this Note, the Payee shall deliver to Maker a Conversion Notice specifying the principal amount of the Note then outstanding that Payee elects to convert into shares of Stock (the “Conversion Amount”).
(iii) Within five Business Days after receipt of a Conversion Notice in accordance with Section 4(b)(ii) (or as soon thereafter as Issuer’s transfer books are open for issuance of new shares of Stock), Maker shall (A) cause to be issued in the name of Payee, the number of shares of Stock equal to the quotient (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Stock) obtained by dividing (1) the Conversion Amount by (2) the Conversion Price in effect on the date that Maker received such Conversion Notice, and (B) pay to Payee an amount in cash equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole $.01) obtained by multiplying (1) FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND and NO/100 UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($500,000.00) by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Amount and the denominator of which is TWO MILLION and NO/100 UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00).
(iv) Upon conversion of any principal amount of the Note into shares of Stock, Payee shall receive such Stock in full and complete discharge and satisfaction of all obligations and liabilities of the Maker with respect to such converted portion of this Note (including outstanding principal converted into shares of Stock, interest thereto and any other amounts thereto), such converted portion of this Note shall be terminated and of no further force and effect immediately upon such conversion and the remaining Installment Payments shall be reduced proportionately. Payee shall cooperate and take such action and execute any documents as may be requested by Maker in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of the preceding sentence. Payee hereby waives any and all demands, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, proceedings, assessments and rights in respect of (i) the portion of this Note that is converted into shares of Stock, including any rights arising from any past or present actual or alleged default or event of default relating to the portion of this Note that is converted into Stock, (ii) amounts otherwise paid or deemed to be paid under, this Note, (iii) amounts paid, or deemed to have been paid or forgiven under this Note, including any rights arising from any past or present actual or alleged default or event of default relating to the amounts paid or deemed to have been paid or forgiven under this Note, and (iv) any principal or interest payments in excess of the amounts as provided herein and hereunder.

(c) Adjustment of Conversion Price.
(i) In the event that, after receipt of a Conversion Notice but before the issuance of Stock to Payee, Issuer shall subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Stock, or issue additional shares of Stock as a dividend or other distribution on the outstanding shares of Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately adjusted so that, with respect to each such subdivision or dividend or distribution, the number of shares of Stock deliverable upon conversion of this Note shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the number of then outstanding shares of Stock resulting from such subdivision or dividend or distribution, and, with respect to each such combination of shares of Stock, the number of Stock deliverable upon conversion of this Note shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease in the number of then outstanding shares of Stock resulting from such combination.
(ii) Any such adjustment in the Conversion Price and the number of shares deliverable as a result of an adjustment to the Conversion Price shall become effective, in the case of any subdivision or combination of shares of Stock, at the close of business on the effective date thereof, and, in the case of any such dividend or distribution, at the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of persons entitled thereto, or on the first business day during which the transfer books of Maker shall be closed for the purpose of such determination, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be made by reason of the issuance of shares of Stock or of any securities convertible into shares of Stock in exchange for cash, property or services, or in any event other than those specifically set forth in this Section 4(c)(i).
(d) Liquidation, Dissolution, Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Reclassification. In the event that, while this Note shall remain outstanding, there shall be any liquidation or dissolution of Maker, consolidation or merger of Maker with another person, sale to another person of all or substantially all of the assets or 50% of more of the capital stock of Maker, or reclassification of the Stock into other securities, then Payee shall thereafter have the right to convert the outstanding principal amount of this Note into the kind and amount of other securities and property receivable upon such liquidation, dissolution, consolidation, merger, sale of assets or stock or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Stock into which the outstanding principal amount of this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, consolidation, merger, sale or reclassification. The instruments effecting such liquidation, dissolution, consolidation, merger, sale or reclassification, and, where appropriate, the certificate of incorporation of the surviving or resulting or purchasing corporation shall provide for such conversion rights, and the provisions of this Section 4(d) shall similarly apply to successive liquidations, dissolutions, consolidations, mergers, sales or reclassifications. In case securities or property other than shares of Stock shall be issuable or deliverable upon conversion as aforesaid, then all references to shares of Stock in this Section 4 shall be deemed to apply, so far as appropriate and as nearly as may be, to such other securities or property.
(e) Reservation of Adequate Shares. Maker shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized capital, for issuance upon conversion of this Note as herein provided, such number of shares of Stock as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of this Note. All shares of Stock which shall be so issuable shall, when so issued upon any such conversion, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

10. Rights and Remedies. All rights and remedies of Payee herein shall be cumulative and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the option of Payee. The acceptance by Payee of any partial payment shall not constitute a waiver of any default or of any of Payee’s rights under this Note.

14. Successors and Assigns. This Note and the rights, interests, and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Payee nor any subsequent holder of this Note may sell, assign or transfer this Note or any of its rights hereunder, without the prior consent of Maker, which consent shall not, subject to compliance by Payee with all applicable securities laws, be unreasonably denied, conditioned or delayed by Maker. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void and of no force or effect.
15. Amendment and Modification. No amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Note, and no consent by Payee to any departure therefrom by Maker, shall be effective unless such modification or waiver shall be in writing and signed by both Maker and Payee. Any such waiver by Payee shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Payee or the obligations of Maker to Payee in any other respect at any other time.

Accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, if any transaction or transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, or any agreement entered into in connection with this Note, it is agreed as follows: (i) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (ii) the aggregate of all interest under applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received under this Note shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be promptly credited to Maker by Payee (or, if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess shall be promptly refunded to Maker by Payee), (iii) neither Maker nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable in connection with this Note shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum interest permitted by the applicable usury laws, and (iv) the effective rate of interest shall be ipso facto reduced to the Highest Lawful Rate (as hereinafter defined).

The maximum lawful interest rate, if any, referred to in this paragraph that may accrue pursuant to this Note is referred to herein as the “Highest Lawful Rate”.
18. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

To the extent permitted by law, Shareholder will indemnify and hold harmless Issuer, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person, if any, who controls Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, any underwriter, any other Person selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Person, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state securities Law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Shareholder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and Shareholder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.02, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or Action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.02 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or Action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Shareholder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 3.03 Defense of Claims. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Article III of notice of the commencement of any Action (including any Action by a Governmental Authority), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Article III, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such Action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such Action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Article III, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Article III.
Section 3.04 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article III is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any Loss, Liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Loss, Liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Loss, Liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note – Exhibit C
Section 3.05 Effect on Indemnity Provisions in Underwriting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in any underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
Section 3.06 Survival. The obligations of Issuer and Shareholder under this Article III shall survive the completion of any offering of Registerable Securities in a registration statement under Article II and otherwise. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or Action, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or Action.
Article IV
Miscellaneous

Within thirty (30) days after issuance of the Registerable Securities or, if Shareholder is not married or in a domestic partnership at the time the Registerable Securities are issued, within thirty (30) days after Shareholder marries, remarries or enters a domestic partnership, Shareholder shall obtain his or her spouse’s or domestic partner’s acknowledgment of and consent to the existence and binding effect of all restrictions contained in this Agreement by such spouse’s or domestic partner’s execution and delivery of a Consent of Spouse attached hereto.

No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
