total of $150,000 (all these Alpharion notes collectively hereinafter referred to as “$150,000 Alpharion Note”). The

and Alpharion Capital Partners, Inc., (“Alpharion”). On December 31, 2012, Alpharion informed the Borrower that Alpharion
had assigned the $150,000 Alpharion Notes to Roy Haddix (the “Lender”).


 


The Lender, the Assignor and Globalwise
Investments, Inc. (the “Assignee”) agree as follows:


 


1. The Lender consents and agrees to the assignment and assumption
as provided for in this Assignment and Assumption Agreement.


 


2. The Lender agrees that no default or event of default has
occurred since the date of the Promissory Note or if any default or event of default has or had occurred, the Lender hereby agrees
to have waived such default or event of default as if such waiver was granted by the Lender before the occurrence of any such default
or event of default.


 


3. The Assignor hereby irrevocably assigns to its parent-corporation,
the Assignee, without recourse to the Assignor, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably assumes from its wholly-owned subsidiary, the
Assignor, without recourse to the Assignor, as of the Effective Date, the principal and interest under the Promissory Note. Assignee
hereby assumes, as its direct and primary obligation, the payment and performance of all of the liabilities and obligations of
Assignor under the Promissory Note, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the principal, interest and fees (if any)
with respect to all such liabilities and obligations, and indemnification obligations (if any) related thereto (collectively the
“Assumed Obligations”) and hereby agrees to make all payments required under Promissory Note in effect and to discharge
the Assumed Obligations as they become due or are declared due. Assignee acknowledges that Assignor has assigned to Assignee all
of the rights of Assignor under the Promissory Note, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Promissory
Note. From and after the date hereof, Assignee agrees to perform and discharge all of the Assumed Obligations, including, without
limitation, performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Promissory Note to be performed or observed
by Assignor thereunder or in connection therewith, and to be bound in all respects by the terms of the Promissory Note as they
relate to Assignor as if Assignee were an original signatory thereto. From and after the date hereof, all references in the Promissory
Note to Assignor as the “Borrower” as defined in the Promissory Note shall be deemed to be a reference to Assignee
as the Borrower.


 


4. The Assignee (a) represents and warrants that it is legally
authorized to enter into this Assignment and Assumption Agreement; (b) confirms that it has received a copy of the Promissory Note;
