CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE


 


	U.S. $111,500.00  	Dated:  December 31, 2012 


 


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Globalwise Investments, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the “Maker”), hereby promises to pay to Alpharion Capital Partners, Inc., a corporation, or its
successors and assigns (the “Lender”), at his address at 9300 Shelbyville Road, Suite 1000, Louisville, KY 40222,
or to such other address as Lender shall provide in writing to the Maker for such purpose, a principal sum of ONE HUNDRED AND
ELEVEN THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS (U.S. $111,500.00). The aggregate principal amount outstanding under
this Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) will be conclusively evidenced by the schedule annexed as Annex B hereto
(the “Loan Schedule”), up to a maximum principal amount of U.S $111,500.00. The entire principal amount hereunder shall
be due and payable on January 1, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”), or on such earlier date as such principal amount may earlier
become due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof.


 


1. Interest Rate. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid
principal amount of this Note at the rate of 3.25% per annum from the date of the first making of the loan for such principal
amount until such unpaid principal amount is paid in full or earlier converted into restricted shares (the “Shares”)
of the Maker’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest hereunder shall
be paid on such date as the principal amount under this Note becomes due and payable or the interest shall be converted into Shares
of Maker’s Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days elapsed.


 


2. Conversion of Principal and Interest. Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Lender, at its sole option, may deliver to the Maker a notice in the form attached hereto as Annex
A (a “Conversion Notice”) and an updated Loan Schedule, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and
prior to the payment of the principal amount and all accrued interest thereon (the date of the delivery of a Conversion Notice
shall be referred to herein as a “Conversion Date”), to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount
of this Note plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for a number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the dollar
amount of such outstanding principal amount of this Note plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon being converted by the Conversion
Price (as defined in Section 14). Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this
Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder in an amount equal to the applicable conversion, which shall be evidenced
by entries set forth in the Conversion Notice and the Loan Schedule.

3. Certain Conversion Limitations. The Lender may not
convert an outstanding principal amount of this Note or accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the extent such conversion would
result in the Lender, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act (as defined in Section 14) and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock. Since the Lender will not be obligated to report to the Maker the number of shares of Common
Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the beneficial ownership
in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (inclusive of any other shares which may be beneficially owned
by the Lender or an affiliate thereof), the Lender shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether and the extent
to which the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder. The Lender may waive the provisions
of this Section upon not less than 75 days prior notice to the Maker.


 


4. Deliveries. Not later than thirty (30) Trading Days
(as defined in Section 14) after any Conversion Date, the Maker will deliver to the Lender (i) a certificate or certificates representing
the number of Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the principal amount of this Note and any interest accrued thereunder
being converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3 hereof), and (ii) an endorsement
by the Maker of the Loan Schedule acknowledging the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon not converted (an “Endorsement”). The Maker’s delivery to the Lender of stocks certificates
in accordance clause (i) above shall be Maker’s conclusive endorsement of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this
Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon not converted as set forth in the Loan Schedule.


 


5. Prepayment Right. The Maker shall have the right to
prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.


 


6. No Adjustments. If the Maker, at any time while any
portion of the principal amount due under this Note is outstanding, (a) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution
or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common
Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of
the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Maker, then the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 14) shall not be adjusted.


 


7. No Waiver of Lender’s Rights, etc. All payments
of principal and interest shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. No delay or failure on the part of the Lender
in exercising any of its options, powers or rights, nor any partial or single exercise of its options, powers or rights shall constitute
a waiver thereof or of any other option, power or right, and no waiver on the part of the Lender of any of its options, powers
or rights shall constitute a waiver of any other option, power or right. The Maker hereby waives presentment of payment, protest,
and notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or endorsement of this Note. Acceptance
by the Lender of less than the full amount due and payable hereunder shall in no way limit the right of the Lender to require full
payment of all sums due and payable hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.

8. Modifications. No term or provision contained herein
may be modified, amended or waived except by written agreement or consent signed by both parties to this Note.


 


9. Cumulative Rights and Remedies; Usury. The rights
and remedies of the Lender expressed herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies otherwise available. If
it shall be found that any interest outstanding hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of
interest outstanding hereunder shall be reduced to the maximum permitted rate of interest under such law.


 


10. Successors and Assigns. This Note shall be binding
upon the Maker and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns. The term “Lender”
as used herein, shall also include any endorsee, assignee or other holder of this Note.


 


11. Lost or Stolen Promissory Note. If this Note is lost,
stolen, mutilated or otherwise destroyed, the Maker shall execute and deliver to the Lender a new promissory note containing the
same terms, and in the same form, as this Note. In such event, the Maker may require the Lender to deliver to the Maker an affidavit
of lost instrument and customary indemnity in respect thereof as a condition to the delivery of any such new promissory note.


 


12. Due Authorization. This Note has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Maker and is the legal obligation of the Maker, enforceable against the Maker in accordance with
its terms.


 


13. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada without regard to the principles of conflicts
of law thereof.


 


14. Definitions. For the purposes hereof, the following
terms shall have the following meanings:
