hereunder at the rate of 8% per annum commencing April 30, 2020 (“Issuance Date”). This Note shall contain

transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company. The forwarding of such check or

3.
This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”)
and applicable state securities laws. Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void.
Prior to due present- ment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name
this Note is duly registered on the Company’s records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note
be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this
Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth
in Section 4(a), and any prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this
Note is being converted (“Notice of Conversion”) in the form an- nexed hereto as Exhibit A. The date
of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date.


 


4.
(a) The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after full cash payment, to convert all or any amount of the
principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”)
at a price (“Con- version Price”) for each share of Common Stock equal to 65% of the lowest VWAP
of the Com- mon Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC market exchange which the Com- pany’s shares
are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future (“Exchange”), for the twenty
prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company or its transfer
agent (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company or its
transfer agent after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price).
If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall
be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company
of the Notice of Conversion. Accrued but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
The Company agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this increase. In the event the Company experiences a DTC
“Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 55% instead of 65% while that “Chill”
is in effect. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares
of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affili- ates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of
the Common Stock of the Company (which may be increased up to 9.9% upon 60 days’ prior written notice by the Investor).
The conversion discount, look back period and other terms will be adjusted on a ratchet basis if the Company offers a more favorable
conversion discount, interest rate, (whether through a straight discount or in combination with an original issue discount), look
back period or other more favorable term to another party while this note is in effect.


 


(b)
Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 8% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the
Company in Common Stock (“Interest Shares”). Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company
for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall
be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

(c)
During the first 6 months following the Issuance Date, the Company may redeem this Note by paying to the Holder an amount equal
to the sum of 140% of the face amount plus any accrued interest. This Note may not be prepaid after the 6-month anniversary of
the Issu- ance Date. The redemption must be closed and paid for within 3 business days of the Company sending the redemption demand
or the redemption will be invalid, and the Company may not re- deem this Note. In the event this Note is not prepaid within the
6-month period, the Conversion Price described in Section 4(a) shall be decreased from 65% to 60% (reflecting an effective con-
version discount of 40%) in addition, if the Note is no prepaid within the 6 month period from the Issuance Date, the Conversion
Price shall be adjusted from using the lowest VWAP of the Com- pany’ s Common Stock for the twenty prior trading
days to the lowest trading price of the Com- pany’s Common Stock for the prior 20 trading days. The parties may mutually
agree to extend the prepayment period of this Note beyond 6 months.


 


(d)
Upon (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of
related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the
Common Stock, other than a forward or reverse stock split or stock dividend, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Com-
pany with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected
solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of
outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as
a “Sale Event”), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem this Note in cash for 150%
of the principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of re- demption, or at the election of the Holder,
such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into
shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.


 


(e)
In case of any Sale Event (not to include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) in connection with
which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Com- pany shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this
Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares
of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassifica- tion, capital reorganization or other
change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise
of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The forego- ing provisions
shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash,
the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

of the Holder and in the Holder’s sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable, without
present- ment, demand, protest or (further) notice of any kind (other than notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly
waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately,
and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder’s rights and remedies provided herein or
any other rights or remedies afforded by law. Upon an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24%

period is $0.01 per share and the conversion dis- count is 50% the Holder may elect to convert future conversions at $0.005 per
share.

If
the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, in- cluding, without limitation, engaging
an attorney, then if the Holder prevails in such action, the Holder shall be reimbursed by the Company for its attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.


 


Make-Whole

conversion shares by the by the 3rd business day following the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company and if the Holder
incurs a Failure to Deliver Loss, then at any time the Holder may provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
to the Holder in respect of the Failure to Deliver Loss and the Company must make the Holder whole as follows:


 


Failure
to Deliver Loss = [(Highest VWAP for the 30 days on or after the day of exercise) x (Num- ber of conversion shares)]

9.
In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdic- tion to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid
or unenforceable, such provision shall be ad- justed rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum
extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

it previously has been a “shell” issuer that at least 12 months have passed since the Company has reported form 10
type information indicating it is no longer a “shell issuer”. The Company will instruct its counsel to either (i)
write a Rule 144 or similar opinion to allow for salability of the conversion shares or (ii) accept such opinion from Holder’s
counsel, provided such legal opinion is, in the reasonable determination of Company counsel, factually and legally correct.

12.
The Company shall issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions reserving 7,736,000 shares of its Common Stock for conversions
under this Note (the “Share Reserve”). Upon full conversion of this Note, any shares remaining in the Share Reserve
shall be cancelled. The Company shall pay all transfer agent costs associated with issuing and delivering the share certificates
to the Holder, as well as maintaining the Share Reserve. If such amounts are to be paid by the Holder, it may deduct such amounts
from the principal amount being converted. The com- pany should at all times reserve a minimum of four times the amount of shares
required if the note would be fully converted. The Holder may reasonably request increases from time to time to re- serve such
amounts. The Company will instruct its transfer agent to provide the outstanding share information to the Holder in connection
with its conversions.


 


13.
The Company will give the Holder direct notice of any corporate actions, including but not limited to name changes, stock splits,
recapitalizations etc. This notice shall be given to the Holder as soon as possible under law.


 


14.
If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury,
the applicable provision shall automatically be revised to equal the maximum rate of interest or other amount deemed interest
permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not seek to claim
or take advantage of any law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or a portion of the principal or interest
on this Note.


 


15.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly to
be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto. The Holder
and the Company hereby mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the State
of New York or in the Federal courts sitting in the county or city of New York. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
and the facsimile transmission of an executed counterpart to this Agreement shall be effective as an original.
