CONVERTIBLE
PROMISSORY NOTE


 


FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, BLACKSTAR ENTERPRISE GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the
“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of POWER UP LENDING GROUP LTD., a Virginia corporation,
or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $43,000.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on
July 24, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of ten
percent (10%)(the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until
the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not
be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this
Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date
thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year
and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall commence accruing on the Issue Date but shall not be payable until the
Note becomes payable (whether at Maturity Date or upon acceleration or by prepayment). All payments due hereunder (to the
extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the
terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as
the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each
capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the
“Purchase Agreement”).


 


This
Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive
rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.


 


The
following terms shall apply to this Note:


 


ARTICLE
I. CONVERSION RIGHTS


 


1.1  Conversion
Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which
is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii)
the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III), each in respect of the


 



    	1 



    	 



    

 





remaining outstanding amount of
this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of this Note into fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of
the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the
“Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however,
that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon
conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates
(other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of
the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would
result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G
thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion
as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each
conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion
Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided
that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to
result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion
Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be
the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum
of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s
option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the
Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the
immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder
pursuant to Sections 1.4 hereof.


 


1.2 Conversion
Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as
defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the
securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions
and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 61% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined
herein) (representing a discount rate of 39%). “Market Price” means the lowest one (1) Trading Price (as defined
below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the
Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB,
OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable
reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the
principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or
trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of
the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in
the “pink sheets”. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner
provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as reasonably determined by the


 






    	2 



    	 



    

 


Borrower. “Trading
Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange
or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.


 


1.3
Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide
for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The
Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon
full conversion of the Note (assuming that the 4.99% limitation set forth in Section 1.1 is not in effect)(based on the
respective Conversion Price of the Note (as defined in Section 1.2) in effect from time to time, initially 46,478,112
shares)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased (or decreased with the written consent of
the Holder) from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that
upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall
issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into
which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper
provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from
preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed
its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its
issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing
stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Note.


 


If,
at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of
the Note.


 


1.4 Method
of Conversion.


 


(a)               
Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth
in Section 1.1 hereof, from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty
(180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the
Default Amount, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date,
by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched
on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note
at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).


 


(b)                Surrender
of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless
the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing
the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory
to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.


 


(c)                
Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion.
Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication)
of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and
deliver or cause to be issued


 






    	3 



    	 



    

 


 


and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion within two (2) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion
of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement.
Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall
be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect
to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other
securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion
as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect
to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay
in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation
or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other
circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. 


 


(d)                Delivery
of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast
Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions
set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its
Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system.





 


(e)                Failure
to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies,
including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall
pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common
Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure
is a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the
best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth
day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the
Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount
of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional
principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that
the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate,
interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that
the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(e) are justified.


 



1.5
Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred
unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer
agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold


 






    	4 



    	 



    

 


 


or transferred may be sold or transferred
pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such
shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise
transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).


 


Any
restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and
the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer
agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions
of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without
registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in
the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an
effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the
event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of
Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.


 


1.6
Effect of Certain Events.


  


(a)               
Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc.
At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the
effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of
the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other
Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined
in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition
to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III). “Person” shall mean any individual,
corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.


 


(b)                Adjustment
Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of
all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other
similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different
number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale
or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete
liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this
Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive
in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any
limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the
rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without
limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the
Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter
deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless
(a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5)


 






    	5 



    	 



    

 


 


days
prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record
date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar
event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor
or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions
shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.


 


(c)                
Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the
Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as
a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s
shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”),
then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders
entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the
record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.


 


1.7
Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the periods set
forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Periods”), the Borrower shall have the
right, exercisable on not more than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the
outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.7. Any notice of prepayment
hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered
addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment
which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for
prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount
(as defined below) to Holder, or upon the direction of the Holder as specified by the Holder in a writing to the Borrower
(which direction shall to be sent to Borrower by the Holder at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment
Date). If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in
cash equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this
paragraph opposite the applicable Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of
this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional
Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z)
any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”). If the Borrower
delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within
two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note
pursuant to this Section 1.7.

ARTICLE
II. CERTAIN COVENANTS


 


2.1
Sale of Assets. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without
the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the
ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the
proceeds of disposition.

on this Note, whether at maturity or upon acceleration and such breach continues for a period of five (5) days after written
notice from the Holder.


 


3.2
Conversion and the Shares. The Borrower fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or announces or

(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of
or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, the Borrower directs its transfer agent not to transfer
or delays, impairs, and/or hinders its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form)
any certificate for shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note
as and when required by this Note, or fails to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or

thereof) on any certificate for any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to

to honor the obligations described in this paragraph) and any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written
announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not be rescinded in writing) for two (2) business days
after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion. It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its
obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed,
hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder,
the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds
shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty-eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.

Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any
agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without
limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which

creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its
property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.


 


3.6

3.10
Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to

3.11
Financial Statement Restatement. The restatement of any financial statements filed by the
Borrower with the SEC at any time after 180 days after the Issuance Date for any date or period until this Note is no longer

a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.


 


3.12
 Replacement of Transfer Agent. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the
Borrower fails to provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision
to


 






    	8 



    	 



    

 


irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and
the Borrower.


 


3.13
Cross-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion
documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the Other

considered a default under this Note and the Other Agreements, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event
required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note and the Other Agreements by reason of a
default under said Other Agreement or hereunder. “Other Agreements” means, collectively, all agreements and
instruments between, among or by: (1) the Borrower, and, or for the benefit of, (2) the Holder and any affiliate of the
Holder, including, without limitation, promissory notes; provided, however, the term “Other Agreements” shall not
include the related or companion documents to this Note. Each of the loan transactions will be cross-defaulted with each
other loan transaction and with all other existing and future debt of Borrower to the Holder.


 


Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Section 3.1 (solely with respect to failure
to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due at the Maturity Date), the Note shall become immediately due and
payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the
Default Amount (as defined herein). UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SPECIFIED IN
SECTION 3.2, THE NOTE SHALL BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AND THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO THE HOLDER, IN FULL SATISFACTION
OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (Y) THE DEFAULT AMOUNT (AS DEFINED HEREIN); MULTIPLIED BY (Z) TWO (2). Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Sections 3.1 (solely with respect to failure
to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note or upon acceleration), 3.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11,
3.12, 3.13, and/or 3.14 exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Borrower by such Holders (the
“Default Notice”), and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified the remaining sections of Articles
III (other than failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon at the Maturity Date specified in Section 3,1
hereof), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of
its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the greater of (i) 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding
principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the
date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts
referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4(e) hereof (the
then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y)
and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall
immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived,
together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall
be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.


 


If
the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable,
then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that
there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default
Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in
effect.
