FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CMG Holdings Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to CMGO Investors, LLC or its successors (hereinafter referred to as “Holder”) the principal sum of $725,000 in lawful money of the United States of America, plus interest on the unpaid principal balance calculated from the date hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Promissory Note and the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below) plus the additional percentage of the principal amount, if any, as set forth herein (this “Note”).


 


This Note is one of a series of 13% senior secured convertible extendible promissory notes (herein called this “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,500,000 issued pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and the Purchaser named therein, as of even date herewith, and the Holder is entitled to the benefits and subject to the restrictions thereof.  Each Note shall be on a parity with, and entitled to the same rights and benefits as, each other Note.  The Company hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note.  All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meaning given to such term in the Note Purchase Agreement.

The entire principal amount of this Note, together with the applicable amount owed pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of Applicable Accrued Value contained in the Note Purchase Agreement and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date or, as the case may be, on any prepayment date pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement; provided that, so long as there is no continuing Event of Default, the Company may in its sole discretion extend the Maturity Date for a period of three months by paying the Holders an extension fee equal to 5% of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes.


 


ARTICLE 2. Payment of Interest.  Interest on the unpaid principal of this Note shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate and shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date.  If an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, this Note shall bear interest at the rate per annum equal to 18%.  Interest shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year, and accrued interest shall be payable in arrears on a calendar quarterly basis.


 


ARTICLE 3. Ranking; Security.  The Notes rank senior in right of payment with all Indebtedness of the Company, whether currently existing or issued in the future.

The Holder may convert this Note into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company at any time after the Maturity Date at an initial conversion price of $0.10 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Note Purchase Agreement.  To determine the number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note, divide the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest to be converted by the conversion price in effect on the Conversion Date.  In connection with the conversion of Notes, no fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued, but the Company shall, with respect to any fractional interest:  (i) pay cash with respect to the Market Price of such fractional share; or (ii) round up to the next whole share of Common Stock.

If an Interest Payment Date shall fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable on any principal so extended for the period of that extension.  This Note is subject to transfer restrictions as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement.  Payments pursuant to this Section 5.1 are subject to a 10-day grace period as provided herein and in the Note Purchase Agreement.
