fees or charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law; and any payments in excess of such maximum shall be refunded
to the Company or credited to reduce principal hereunder.

and interest shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America. If any day on which a payment is due pursuant to
the terms of this Note is not a business day, such payment shall be due on the next business day following. All payments received

Conversion.


 


(a)
Principal. At any time prior to or at the time
of repayment of this Note by the Company on the Maturity Date, with respect to the outstanding principal on this Note, the Payee
may elect to convert some or all of the principal owing on this Note into shares of the Company ‘s common stock at a price
of $0.25 per share. If the current bid is below $0.25 when the election to convert is made then the conversion rate shall be equal
to the lower of $0.18 or fifty percent (50%) of the lowest three (3) daily VWAPs (Volume Weighted Average Price) of the Company’s
common stock during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the date on which Holder elects to convert all or part of
the Note. (the “Conversion Rate”). Such election to convert shall be evidenced by completion of the conversion notice
attached hereto and delivery of such notice to the Company. The Payee’s right to convert the principal due under this Note
to common stock shall supersede the Company’s right to repay such obligations in cash.


 


(b)
Interest. With respect to interest payments due
hereunder, the Payee may elect to convert some or all of the interest payable into shares of the Company’s common stock
at the stated Conversion Rate at anytime.


 


(c)
Stock Splits. If the Company subdivides its outstanding
common shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combines its outstanding common shares, the purchase price then applicable to shares
covered by this Note shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately increased in
the case of a combination.


 


(d)
Reserve of Shares for Conversion. The Company
covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized common shares, free from all preemptive
rights, which will be sufficient to permit the exercise of the conversion of this Note. The Company further covenants that such
shares as may be issued pursuant to the conversion of this note will be, upon issuance, duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges.


 




    	 



     

    

 


(e)
In no event shall the Payee 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 Payee and its affiliates (other than shares of common stock which may be deemed beneficially
owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security
of the Company 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 Payee and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of common stock of the Company. 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, and Regulations 13D-G
thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion
may be waived by the Payee upon, at the election of the Payee, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the
provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the
Payee, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).


 


In
the event any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
in whole or in part or in any respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note operate or would prospectively
operate to invalidate this Note, then and in any such event, such provision(s) only shall be deemed null and void and shall not
affect any other provision of this Note and the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain operative and in full force and
effect and in no way shall be affected, prejudiced, or disturbed thereby. Should all or any part of the indebtedness represented
by this Note be collected by action at law, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other court proceedings, or should this
Note be placed in the hands of attorneys for collection after default, the Company hereby promises to pay to the Payee, upon demand
by the Payee at any time, in addition to the outstanding principal balance of, accrued interest and all (if any) other amounts
payable on or in respect of this Note, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and other collection charges and expenses
incurred or sustained by the Payee. This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of The State of
Utah and shall have the effect of a sealed instrument. The Company hereby irrevocably waives notice of acceptance, presentment,
notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, suit and all other conditions precedent in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
collection and/or enforcement of this Note or any collateral or security therefor. The failure of the Payee to exercise any or
all of its rights, remedies, powers or privileges hereunder in any instance shall not constitute a waiver thereof in that or any
other instance. The Company will at all times in good faith assist, insofar as it is able, in the carrying out of all of the provisions
of this Note in a reasonable manner and in the taking of all other action which may be necessary in order to protect and preserve
the rights of the Payee set forth herein.
