PROMISSORY
NOTE


 


FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, RESPIRERX PHARMACEUTICALS INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower” or the

limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”), in the form of lawful money of the United States of America,
the principal sum of $27,778.00, which amount is the $25,000.00 actual amount of the purchase price (the “Consideration”)
hereof plus an original issue discount in the amount of $2,778.00 (the “OID”) (subject to adjustment herein) (the “Principal
Amount”) and to pay interest on the unpaid Principal Amount hereof at the rate of ten percent (10%) (the “Interest Rate”)
per annum with interest calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (with the understanding that the first twelve months of interest (equal
to $2,778.00) shall be guaranteed and earned in full as of the Issue Date) 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, as further provided herein.
The maturity date shall be twelve (12) months from the Issue Date (the “Maturity Date”), and is the date upon which the principal
sum, the OID, as well as any accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due and payable.


 


This
Note may not be prepaid or repaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein.


 


Any

Interest”).


 


All
payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Borrower (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. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same
shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the
date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining
the amount of interest due on such date.


 


Each
capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of the Issue Date, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”). As used
in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks
in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed. As used herein, the term “Trading

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 also apply to this Note:


 


ARTICLE
I. CONVERSION RIGHTS


 


1.1
Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right, at any time on or following the Issue Date, to convert all or any portion of
the then outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount and interest (including any Default Interest) into fully paid and non-assessable 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 (as defined below) determined as provided
herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the a
Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving
effect to such issuance after conversion as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
affiliates (the “Affiliates”), and any other Persons (as defined below) acting as a group together with the Holder or any
of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by the Holder and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect
to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion
of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties
and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation
on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 1.1, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the
Holder that the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. In addition, a determination
as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 1.1, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock,
a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or
annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent
written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. “Trading Day”
shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the Principal Market. Upon the written or oral request of
a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion
or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date
as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be
4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the time of the respective calculation hereunder. “Person”
and “Persons” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an
unincorporated organization, any other entity and any governmental entity or any department or agency thereof. The limitations contained
in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. The number of Conversion Shares 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 or Borrower’s transfer agent 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 or Borrower’s transfer agent before 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion
Date”). 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 Rate 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).


 




    	2



     


    

 


1.2
Conversion Price.


 


(a)
Calculation of Conversion Price. The per share conversion price into which Principal Amount and interest (including any Default
Interest) under this Note shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock hereunder (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal
$0.01. If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common
Stock, then at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Conversion Price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the
Conversion Amount for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means
such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable
upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been adjusted
by the Holder to the par value price. The Conversion Price is subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits (including reverse stock
splits and forward stock splits), stock dividends or rights offerings 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. Holder shall be entitled to deduct $500.00 from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder’s
fees associated with each Notice of Conversion.


 


1.3
Authorized and Reserved Shares. The Borrower covenants that at all times until the Note is satisfied in full, 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 a number of Conversion Shares equal to the greater of: (a) 4,1665,700 shares of Common Stock or (b) the sum of (i) the number
of Conversion Shares issuable upon the full conversion of this Note (assuming no payment of Principal Amount or interest) as of any issue
date (taking into consideration any adjustments to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 2 hereof or otherwise) multiplied by
(ii) one and a half (1.5) (the “Reserved Amount”). The Borrower represents that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will
be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer
agent to issue certificates for the Conversion Shares or instructions to have the Conversion Shares issued as contemplated by Section
1.4(f) hereof, 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 or cause the Company to electronically issue shares of Common Stock to execute and issue
the necessary certificates for the Conversion Shares or cause the Conversion Shares to be issued as contemplated by Section 1.4(f) hereof
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 this Note.


 


1.4
Method of Conversion.


 


(a)
Mechanics of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part, on any Trading Day, at any time on or following
the Issue Date, by submitting to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other
reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time). Any Notice of Conversion
submitted after 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time, shall be deemed to have been delivered and received on the next Trading Day.


 


(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 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. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower
shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion
of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note
to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered
as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining
unpaid Principal Amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason
of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount of this
Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.


 




    	3



     


    

 


(c)
Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in
the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that
of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or
property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held
for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.


 


(d)
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 and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the
Conversion Shares (or cause the electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares as contemplated by Section 1.4(f) hereof) within one (1)
Trading Day after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid Principal Amount
and interest (including any Default Interest) under this Note, surrender of this Note). If the Company shall fail for any reason or for
no reason to issue to the Holder on or prior to the Deadline a certificate for the number of Conversion Shares or to which the Holder
is entitled hereunder and register such Conversion Shares on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance
account with DTC (as defined below) for such number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion
of this Note (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (i) the Company shall
pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Deadline and during such Conversion Failure an amount equal to 2.0% of the product of
(A) the sum of the number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Deadline and to which the Holder is entitled
and (B) the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company
could have issued such Conversion Shares to the Holder without violating this Section 1.4(d); and (ii) the Holder, upon written notice
to the Company, may void its Notice of Conversion with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this
Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Notice of Conversion; provided that the voiding of an Notice of Conversion shall not
affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. In addition to the foregoing,
if on or prior to the Deadline the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such Conversion Shares
on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Conversion Shares to which
the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii)
below, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving
from the Company, then the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion,
either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and
other reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”),
at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Conversion Shares) or credit such Holder’s
balance account with DTC for such Conversion Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing such Conversion Shares or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC and pay cash to
the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock,
times (B) the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise. Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue
any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing the Conversion Shares (or to
electronically deliver such Conversion Shares) upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


 




    	4



     


    

 


(e)
Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. At the time that the Holder submits the Notice of Conversion to the Borrower or
Borrower’s transfer agent, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion,
the outstanding Principal Amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest (including any Default Interest) under this Note shall
be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, 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 the Conversion Shares (or cause the electronic delivery of
the Conversion Shares as contemplated by Section 1.4(f) hereof) 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. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date
so long as the Notice of Conversion is sent to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent before 11:59 p.m., New York, New York
time, on such date.


 


(f)
Delivery of Conversion Shares by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion
Shares issuable upon conversion hereof, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast
Automated Securities Transfer or Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian programs, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions
contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically
transmit the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion hereof to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker
with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.


 


1.5
Concerning the Shares. The Conversion Shares 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 1933 Act or are qualified for sale under Regulation A, or (ii)
the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be the Legal Counsel Opinion
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to
an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S, or other
applicable exemption, or (iv) 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). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below),
until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, Rule
144A, Regulation S, or other applicable exemption without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that
can then be immediately sold, each certificate for the Conversion Shares that has not been so included in an effective registration statement
or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear
a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:


 


“NEITHER
THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES MAY BE CONVERTIBLE
OR EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES
MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER, IN A GENERALLY
ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS (A) SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR OTHER APPLICABLE EXEMPTION
UNDER SAID ACT AND (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IS PROVIDED (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM,
THAT SUCH SALE IS PERMITTED UNDER RULE 144 OR OTHER APPLICABLE EXEMPTION UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES
MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”


 




    	5



     


    

 


The
legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue to the Holder a certificate for the applicable Conversion Shares
without such legend upon which it is stamped or (as requested by the Holder) issue the applicable Conversion Shares by electronic delivery
by crediting the account of such holder’s broker with DTC, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws: (a)
such Conversion Shares are registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be
sold pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S, or other applicable exemption without any restriction as to the number of securities
as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) the Company or the Holder provides the Legal Counsel Opinion (as contemplated
by and in accordance with Section 4(m) of the Purchase Agreement) to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Conversion Shares
may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected.
The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with any such issuance. The Holder agrees
to sell all Conversion Shares, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance
with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided
by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Conversion Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, Rule 144A,
Regulation S, or other applicable exemption, at the Deadline, notwithstanding that the conditions of Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation
S, or other applicable exemption, as applicable, have been met, it will be considered an Event of Default under this 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, 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 either: (i) be deemed to be an acceleration event 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 Principal Amount then outstanding plus accrued interest (including any Default Interest) multiplied by 125% , or (ii) be
treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof. “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 this 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 effectuate any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least seven (7) 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 Section 1.6(b). 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.


 




    	6



     


    

 


(d)
Purchase Rights. If, at any time when all or any portion of this Note is issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible
securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record
holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase
Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before
the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date
as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.


 


(e)
Dilutive Issuance. If the Borrower, at any time while this Note or any amounts due hereunder are outstanding, issues, sells or
grants (or has issued, sold or granted as of the Issue Date, as the case may be) any option to purchase, or sells or grants any right
to reprice, or otherwise disposes of, or issues (or has sold or issued, as the case may be, or announces any sale, grant or any option
to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or other securities convertible into, exercisable for, or otherwise entitle any person
or entity the right to acquire, shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, upon conversion of this Note, and any convertible
notes or warrants outstanding as of or following the Issue Date), in each or any case at an effective price per share that is lower than
the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive
Issuance”) (it being agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or other securities so issued shall at any time, whether by
operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants,
options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective
price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion
Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, at the option of the Holder, to a price equal
to the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or other securities are issued. By way of example,
and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Company issues a convertible promissory note (including but not limited to a Variable Rate Transaction),
and the holder of such convertible promissory note has the right to convert it into Common Stock at an effective price per share that
is lower than the then Conversion Price (including but not limited to a conversion price with a discount that varies with the trading
prices of or quotations for the Common Stock), then the Holder has the right to reduce the Conversion Price to such Base Conversion Price
(including but not limited to a conversion price with a discount that varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common
Stock) in perpetuity regardless of whether the holder of such convertible promissory note ever effectuated a conversion at the Base Conversion
Price. In the event of an issuance of securities involving multiple tranches or closings, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.6(e)
shall be calculated as if all such securities were issued at the initial closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be
made under this Section 1.6(e) in respect of an Exempt Issuance.


 


An
“Exempt Issuance” shall mean the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or other securities to officers or directors of the
Borrower pursuant to any stock or option or similar equity incentive plan duly adopted for such purpose by a majority of the non-employee
members of the Borrower’s Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors (“Plan”)
established for such purpose in a manner which is consistent with the Borrower’s prior business practices, including, but not limited
to granting of such as bonuses; (b) securities pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business combination approved
by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Borrower, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or to the equity
holders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic
with the business of the Borrower and shall provide to the Borrower additional benefits in addition to, or in lieu of, an investment
of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Borrower is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital
or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities; (c) securities issued pursuant to any equipment loan or leasing arrangement,
real property leasing arrangement or debt financing from a bank or similar financial institution approved by a majority of the disinterested
directors of the Borrower; and/or (d) securities issued with respect to which the Holder waives its rights in writing under this Section
1.6(e).

(f)
Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events
described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower shall, at its expense and within one (1) calendar day after the occurrence of each respective
adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price, compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate
setting forth (i) the Conversion Price in effect at such time based upon the Dilutive Issuance, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note, (iii) the detailed
facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, and (iv) copies of the documentation (including but not limited to relevant
transaction documents) that evidences the adjustment or readjustment. The Borrower shall, within one (1) calendar day after each written
request from the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price in effect at such time based
upon the Dilutive Issuance, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at
the time would be received upon conversion of the Note, (iii) the detailed facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based,
and (iv) copies of the documentation (including but not limited to relevant transaction documents) that evidences the adjustment or readjustment.


 


1.7
[RESERVED].


 


1.8
Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the Conversion Shares covered thereby (other
than the Conversion Shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion
of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights
as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such
shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure
by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all
shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any
portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so
notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this
Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered,
adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its
rights and remedies for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.


 


1.9
Prepayment. At any time on or prior to the 180th calendar day after the Issue Date (the “Prepayment Period”),
so long as an Event of Default has not occurred under this Note, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on three (3) Trading
Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note (for the avoidance of doubt, the last day that the Borrower may exercise its right
to prepay shall be three (3) Trading Days prior to the 180th calendar day after the Issue Date), to prepay the outstanding
Principal Amount and interest then due under this Note in accordance with this Section 1.9. 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 three (3) Trading Days from the date of the
Optional Prepayment Notice (the “Optional Prepayment Date”). The Holder shall have the right, at all times prior to the actual
receipt of the full prepayment amount on the Optional Prepayment Date, to instead convert all or any portion of the Note pursuant to
the terms of this Note, including the amount of this Note to be prepaid by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 1.9. On the Optional
Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall make payment of the amounts designated below to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the
Holder in writing to the Borrower. If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note in accordance with this Section 1.9, the Borrower
shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to the sum of: (w) 115% multiplied by the Principal Amount then outstanding
plus (x) 115% multiplied by the accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Amount to the Optional Prepayment Date.


 


If
the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the applicable prepayment amount due to the Holder of the Note as
provided in this Section 1.9, then the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay any part of the Note pursuant to this Section
1.9.

through any Subsidiary or affiliate) incur or suffer to exist or guarantee any unsecured Indebtedness that is senior to (in priority
of payment and performance) the Borrower’s obligations hereunder unless the proceeds of such Indebtedness are used to pay off all
amounts owed under this Note. As used in this Section 2.2, the term “Borrower” means the Borrower and any Subsidiary of the
Borrower. As used herein, the term “Indebtedness” means (a) all indebtedness of the Borrower for borrowed money or for the

and (e) all obligations of the kind referred to in clauses (a) through (d) above that the Borrower is not permitted to incur or enter
into that are secured and/or unsecured by (or for which the holder of such obligation has an existing right, contingent or otherwise,
to be secured and/or unsecured by) any lien or encumbrance on property (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the Borrower,
whether or not the Borrower has assumed or become liable for the payment of such obligation.


 


2.3
Distributions on Capital Stock. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not without
the Holder’s written consent (a) pay, declare or set apart for such payment, any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash,

shares of Common Stock or (b) directly or indirectly or through any subsidiary make any other payment or distribution in respect of its
capital stock except for distributions pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan which is approved by a majority of the Borrower’s
disinterested directors.

or options to purchase or acquire any such shares.


 


2.5
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.


 


2.6
Advances and Loans; Affiliate Transactions. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall
not, without the Holder’s written consent, lend money, give credit, make advances to or enter into any transaction with any person,
firm, joint venture or corporation, including, without limitation, officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates of the
Borrower, except loans, credits or advances (a) in existence or committed or publicly stated as contemplated in SEC Documents on the
Issue Date and which the Borrower has informed Holder in writing prior to the Issue Date, (b) in regard to transactions with unaffiliated
third parties, made in the ordinary course of business or (c) in regard to transactions with unaffiliated third parties, not in excess
of $250,000.00. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s
written consent, repay any affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower in connection with any indebtedness or accrued amounts
owed to any such party outside the ordinary course of business.





2.7
Section 3(a)(9) or 3(a)(10) Transaction. So long as this Note is outstanding, the Borrower shall not enter into any transaction
or arrangement structured in accordance with, based upon, or related or pursuant to, in whole or in part, either Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act (a “3(a)(9) Transaction”) or Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act (a “3(a)(10) Transaction”).
In the event that the Borrower does enter into, or makes any issuance of Common Stock related to a 3(a)(9) Transaction or a 3(a)(10)
Transaction while this note is outstanding, a liquidated damages charge of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, but
not less than $25,000.00, will be assessed and will become immediately due and payable to the Holder at its election in the form of a
cash payment or added to the balance of this Note (under Holder’s and Borrower’s expectation that this amount will tack back
to the Issue Date). Notwithstanding the forgoing, transactions contemplated by subsection (a) of the definition of “Exempt Issuance”
in Section 1.6(e) that are considered Section 3(a)(9) or 3(a)(10) Transactions will not cause a liquidated damages charge under this
Section 2.7.

material assets other than in the ordinary course of business; or (c) enter into a Variable Rate Transaction or merchant cash advance
transactions. In addition, so long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall maintain and preserve,
and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, its existence, rights and privileges, and become or remain, and cause each
of its Subsidiaries (other than dormant Subsidiaries that have no or minimum assets) to become or remain, duly qualified and in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business
makes such qualification necessary.


 


2.9
Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate or Articles
of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms
of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to
protect the rights of the Holder.


 


2.10
Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder
to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute

Note, whether at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, or fails to fully comply with Section 1.10 of this Note.


 


3.2

uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not be rescinded in writing) for two (2)
Trading 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 added to the principal balance
of the Note.

Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made in the Purchase Agreement, this
Note, the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions, Warrant, or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto
or in connection herewith or therewith shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or
with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.


 


3.5
Receiver or Trustee. The Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of 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

Maintenance of Assets. The failure by Borrower to maintain any material intellectual property rights, personal, real property
or other assets which are necessary to conduct its business (whether now or in the future).


 


3.12
Financial Statement Restatement. The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC for any date or
period from two years prior to the Issue Date of this Note and until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement
would, by comparison to the unrestated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with
respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.


 


3.13
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

3.19
Rights and Remedies Upon an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in this Article III, this
Note shall become immediately due and payable, and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder,

ARTICLE
IV. MISCELLANEOUS


 


4.1
Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies of the Holder existing hereunder

4.3
Amendments. This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the
Holder. The term “Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally
executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.


 


4.4
Assignability. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit
of the Holder and its successors and assigns. The Borrower shall not assign this Note or any rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Holder. The Holder may assign its rights hereunder to any “accredited investor” (as defined
in Rule 501(a) of the 1933 Act) in a private transaction from the Holder or to any of its “affiliates”, as that term is defined
under the 1934 Act, without the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, this Note may be pledged
as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance
of this Note, acknowledge and agree that following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount
of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.


 


4.5
Cost of Collection. If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees.


 


4.6
Governing Law; Venue; Attorney’s Fees. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions
contemplated by this Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby shall be brought only in the
state courts located in New York, NY or federal courts located in New York, NY. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection
to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue
or based upon forum non conveniens. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST,
A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action
or proceeding in connection with this Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby
by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address
in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law. The prevailing party in any action or dispute brought in connection with this the Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument
or document contemplated hereby or thereby shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and
costs.


 


4.7
Certain Amounts. Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding Principal
Amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest,
the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult
to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate
the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired
upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note. The Borrower and the Holder
hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt
of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

4.8
Purchase Agreement. The Company and the Holder shall be bound by the applicable terms of the Purchase Agreement and the documents
entered into in connection herewith and therewith.


 


4.9
Notice of Corporate Events. Except as otherwise provided below, the Holder of this Note shall have no rights as a Holder of Common
Stock unless and only to the extent that it converts this Note into Common Stock. The Borrower shall provide the Holder with prior notification
of any meeting of the Borrower’s shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders). In the
event of any taking by the Borrower of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive
payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger,
consolidation, reclassification or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other
right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any change in control or any proposed
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower, the Borrower shall mail a notice to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior
to the record date specified therein (or thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier),
of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief
statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time. The
Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with
the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9.


 


4.10
Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder,
by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at
law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in
equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach
of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without
any bond or other security being required.


 


4.11
Construction; Headings. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the Holder and shall not be construed
against any person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect
the interpretation of, this Note.


 


4.12
Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever
claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, in connection with any action or proceeding that may be brought by the Holder in order to enforce any right
or remedy under this Note. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, it is expressly agreed and provided
that the total liability of the Company under this Note for payments which under the applicable law are in the nature of interest shall
not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing,
in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums which under the applicable
law in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under this Note exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if
the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by applicable law and applicable to this Note is increased or decreased by statute or any
official governmental action subsequent to the Issue Date, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum
Rate applicable to this Note from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under
any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Holder with respect to indebtedness
evidenced by this the Note, such excess shall be applied by the Holder to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be
refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Holder’s election.


 


4.13
Severability. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of
law (including any judicial ruling), then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under
any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.

4.14
Terms of Future Financings. So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries
of any security, or amendment to a security that was originally issued before the Issue Date, with any term that the Holder reasonably
believes is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the Holder reasonably
believes was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Note, then (i) the Borrower shall notify the Holder of such additional or more
favorable term within one (1) business day of the issuance and/or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security, and (ii) such
term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with the Holder (regardless of whether the Borrower
complied with the notification provision of this Section 4.14). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable
to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing prepayment rate, interest rates, and original issue
discounts.


 


4.15
Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price, Conversion Amount, any prepayment
amount or Default Amount, Issue, Closing or Maturity Date, the closing bid price, or fair market value (as the case may be) or the arithmetic
calculation of the Conversion Price or the applicable prepayment amount(s) (as the case may be), the Borrower or the Holder shall submit
the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile (i) within one (1) Trading Day after receipt of the applicable notice
giving rise to such dispute to the Borrower or the Holder or (ii) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder
learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Borrower are unable to agree upon such determination
or calculation within one (1) Trading Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation (as the case may be) being submitted
to the Borrower or the Holder, then the Borrower shall, within one (1) Trading Day, submit (a) the disputed determination of the Conversion
Price, the closing bid price, the or fair market value (as the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by
the Borrower and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Price, Conversion Amount, any prepayment
amount or Default Amount, to an independent, outside accountant selected by the Holder that is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.
The Borrower shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify
the Borrower and the Holder of the results no later than one (1) Trading Day from the time it receives such disputed determinations or
calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent
demonstrable error.
