	$700,000	_______, 2020



 


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, eSports
Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to the order of ______________
(the “Payee” or the “Holder”) or registered assigns, on _____________, unless
accelerated due to the occurrence of an Event of Default (the earlier of such dates is referred to as the “Maturity
Date”), the principal amount of Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000) (the “Principal Amount”)
and interest on the Principal Amount (as set forth in Section 3), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Interest on this Note shall accrue on the
Principal Amount outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum computed in accordance with Section 3 hereof.


 


1.              Conversion.


 


A.            Subject to
Section 1.B. below, the Holder may convert the Principal Amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest into Company shares
(the “Shares”) at a conversion price equal to $0.50 per Share (the “Conversion Price”),
which price shall be proportionately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events.


 


B.             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 an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association,
joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity
of any kind (“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 Shares 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 Shares, or (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in
one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Shares or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property,
(each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have
the right to receive, for each Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of
such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 1.C. on the conversion of
this Note), the number of Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and any additional consideration receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Shares for
which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 1.C.
on the conversion of this Note). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company
is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note.
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 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 with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

C.             Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Note, this Note shall not be convertible into Shares to the extent (but only to the
extent) that the Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”)
of the Shares. To the extent the conversion provisions of Section 1.A. would be limited by this Section 1.C, the portion of this
Note not converted may be converted into Shares at a later date or dates, provided that at such later date or dates the limitation
in Section 1.C would no longer apply to the Holder because such Holder would no longer own in excess of the Maximum Percentage.
For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation,
with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented
in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof)
which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or
to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation.


 


2.              Base
Interest Rate; Payment of Interest. The outstanding Principal Amount shall bear interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum. Interest
shall be based on a 365 day year. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.A. above, accrued interest will be due and payable on
the Maturity Date unless converted in Shares.


 


3.              Covenants
of Company


 


A.             Affirmative
Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees that, so long as this Note shall be outstanding, it will perform the obligations
set forth in this Section 3.A.:


 


(i)             Maintenance
of Existence. The Company will do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises and comply with all laws applicable to the Company, except where the failure
to comply would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

(ii)            Non-Performance
of Affirmative Covenants. The Company shall materially default in the due observance or performance of any covenant set forth
in Section 3.A.


 


(iii)           Bankruptcy,
Insolvency, etc. The Company shall:


 


(a)            apply
for, consent to, or acquiesce in, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, sequestrator or other custodian for the Company, or make
a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

A.            Parties

C.             Arbitration.
Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Note or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation

by arbitration in Las Vegas, Nevada before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive
Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules, including
Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules. Judgment on the Award (as defined in the Rules) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
The Company and Holder shall each select one independent arbitrator expert in the subject matter of the dispute (the arbitrators
so selected shall be referred to herein as “Company’s Arbitrator” and “Holder’s Arbitrator,”
respectively). In the event that either such party fails to select an independent arbitrator as set forth herein within 20 days

Arbitrator and Holder’s Arbitrator shall each prepare a list of three independent arbitrators. Company’s Arbitrator
and Holder’s Arbitrator shall each have the opportunity to designate as objectionable and eliminate one arbitrator from the
other arbitrator’s list within seven days after submission thereof, and the third arbitrator shall then be selected by lot

decision. The parties acknowledge that this Note evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision

shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.


 


D.             Notice.
All notices shall be in writing, and shall be deemed given when actually delivered to a party at its address set forth herein personally,
by a reputable overnight messenger.


 


E.             No
Waiver. No delay in exercising any right hereunder shall be deemed a waiver thereof, and no waiver shall be deemed to have
