CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY
NOTE


 


FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, BANTEC, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises
to pay to the order of GENEVA ROTH REMARK HOLDINGS, INC., a New York corporation, or registered assigns (the “Holder”)
the sum of $53,500.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on March 11, 2022 (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 commence accruing
on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.0001 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 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 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 (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 shall be equal to the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein)(subject to equitable
adjustments for 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). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 65% multiplied by the Market Price
(as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 35%). “Market Price” means the averate of the two (2) lowest
Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the fifteen (15) 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 mutually determined by the
Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading
Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “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.


 






    2


     


    

 


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 23,857,302 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).


 


The Holder shall be entitled to
deduct $500.00 from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder's deposit fees associated with each Notice
of Conversion. Any additional expenses incurred by Holder with respect to the Borrower's transfer agent, for the issuance of the
Common Stock into which this Note is convertible into, shall immediately and automatically be added to the balance of the Note
at such time as the expenses are incurred by Holder.


 


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.


 






    3


     


    

 


(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 and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates
for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) 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 Withdrawal Agent Commission
(“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.


 






    4


     


    

 


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 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.


 






    5


     


    

 


(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) 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”) or as otherwise agreed to between the Borrower
and the Holder, 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 shall direction 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”).

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 threatens in
writing that it will not honor its obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance

3.10             
Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to
pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a
“going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.


 


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 outstanding, if the result of such

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

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 Agreements, after
the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be 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 Sum (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 SUM (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 upon a Trading Market Prepayment Event pursuant to Section 1.7 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 Sections
1.3 and 1.4(g) 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 Sum”) or (ii) the
“parity value” of the Default Sum to be prepaid, where parity value means (a) the highest number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to such Default Sum in accordance with Article I, treating the
Trading Day immediately preceding the Mandatory Prepayment Date as the “Conversion Date” for purposes of
determining the lowest applicable Conversion Price, unless the Default Event arises as a result of a breach in respect of a
specific Conversion Date in which case such Conversion Date shall be the Conversion Date), multiplied by (b) the
highest Closing Price for the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date of first occurrence of the Event of
Default and ending one day prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Date (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.

other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
