CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE


 


FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
BlackStar Enterprise Group, Inc. a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”) (Trading Symbol:
BEGI), hereby promises to pay to the order of QUICK CAPITAL, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, or registered assigns
(the “Holder”) the sum of US$33,275 together with any interest as set forth herein, on July 16, 2021 (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. A lump-sum interest payment of ten percent (10%) of the Principal Amount shall
be immediately due on the Issue Date and shall be added to the principal balance and payable on the Maturity Date or upon acceleration
or by prepayment or otherwise, notwithstanding the number of days which the Principal is outstanding. This Note may not be prepaid
in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein with the written consent of the Holder which may be withheld
for any reason or for no reason. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest
at the rate of the lesser of (i) twenty-four percent (24%) per annum and (ii) the maximum amount permitted under law from the due
date thereof until the same is paid (the “Default Interest”). Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the
Note is fully funded by Holder and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All
payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 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. 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




    	1 



    	 



    

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. 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.
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
also 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 following the Issue Date, 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) pursuant
to Section 1.6(a) or Article III, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or
any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal 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 (as defined below) 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 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 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




    	2 



    	 



    

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, provided however, that the Borrower shall have the right to pay any or all interest in cash 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 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.


 


1.2 
Conversion Price.


 


Calculation of
Conversion Price. Subject to the adjustments described herein the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall
equal the lesser of: (i) 60% multiplied by the average of the two lowest closing trades during the twenty (20) Trading Day period
preceding the Issue Date (representing a discount rate of 40%), or (ii) 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 60% multiplied by the Market Price (as
defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 40%). “Market Price” means the average of the two (2) lowest closing
trades for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period preceding the conversion date. “Trading Price”
and “Trading Prices” means, for any security as of any date, the lesser of: (i) the lowest trade price on the OTC Pink,
OTCQB or applicable trading market as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by
the Holder or, if the OTC Pink is not the principal trading market for such security, the trading price of such security on the
principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no trading price of such security
is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the trading prices of any market makers for such security that are
listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., or (ii) the closing bid price on the OTC Pink,
OTCQB or applicable trading market as reported by a Reporting Service designated by the Holder or, if the OTC Pink 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” by
the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. To the extent the Conversion Price
of the Borrower’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Borrower will take all steps necessary to solicit
the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Borrower agrees to honor all
conversions submitted pending this adjustment. Furthermore, the Conversion Price may be adjusted downward if, within three
(3) business days of the transmittal of the Notice of Conversion to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent, the Common
Stock has a closing bid which is 5% or lower than that set forth in the Notice of Conversion. If the shares of the Borrower’s
Common Stock have not been delivered within three (3) business days to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent, the Notice
of Conversion may be rescinded. At any time after the Closing Date, if in the case that the Borrower’s Common Stock is not
deliverable by DWAC (including if the Borrower’s transfer agent has a policy prohibiting or limiting delivery of shares of
the Borrower’s Common Stock specified in a Notice of Conversion), an additional 10% discount will apply for all future conversions
under all Notes. If in the case that the Borrower’s Common Stock is “chilled” for deposit into the DTC system
and




    	3 



    	 



    

only eligible for clearing deposit,
an additional 15% discount shall apply for all future conversions under all Notes while the “chill” is in effect. 
If in the case of one or both of the above, an additional cumulative 15% discount shall apply. Additionally,
if the Borrower ceases to be a reporting company pursuant to the 1934 Act or if the Note cannot be converted into free trading
shares after one hundred eighty-one (181) days from the Issue Date, an additional 15% discount will be attributed to the Conversion
Price. 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 Pink, OTCQB or on
the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. The Borrower shall
be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with any such issuance. Holder shall be entitled
to deduct $750.00 from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder’s deposit fees associated with
each Notice of Conversion.


While this Note
is outstanding, each time any 3rd party has the right to convert monies owed to that 3rd party (or receive
shares pursuant to a settlement or otherwise), including but not limited to under Section 3(a)(9) and Section 3(a)(10), other than
the three transactions listed on Schedule 2.6 to the Purchase Agreement at a discount to market greater than the Conversion Price
in effect at that time (prior to all other applicable adjustments in the Note), then the Holder, in Holder’s sole discretion,
may utilize such greater discount percentage (prior to all applicable adjustments in this Note) until this Note is no longer outstanding.
While this Note is outstanding, each time any 3rd party has a look back period greater than the look back period in
effect under the Note at that time, including but not limited to under Section 3(a)(9) and Section 3(a)(10), then the Holder, in
Holder’s sole discretion, may utilize such greater number of look back days until this Note is no longer outstanding. The
Borrower shall give written notice to the Holder within one (1) business day of becoming aware of any event that could permit the
Holder to make any adjustment described in the two immediately preceding sentences.


(a)  
Conversion Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary,
in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other
than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer
all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces
a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement
referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price
shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below),
be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement
Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date,
the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section 1.2(a). For purposes hereof, “Adjusted Conversion Price
Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public
announcement as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i)
above) or the person, group or entity (in the




    	4 



    	 



    

case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly
announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section
1.2(b) to become operative.


 


(b)              
Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the
Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Borrower shall issue to the Holder the number
of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 4.13.


 


(c)              
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 the Conversion Price hereunder shall equal such par value for such conversion
and the Conversion Amount for such conversion shall 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 subject to the minimum price set forth in this Section 1.2(c).


 


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 five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note
(based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount
shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 3(d) of the Purchase
Agreement. 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 Notes. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Reserved Amount be lower than the initial Reserved
Amount, regardless of any prior conversions.


 


If, at any time the Borrower
does not maintain or replenish the Reserved Amount within three (3) business days of the request of the Holder, the principal amount
of the Note shall increase by Five Thousand and No/100 United States Dollars ($5,000) (under Holder’s and Borrower’s
expectation that any principal amount increase will tack back to the Issue Date) per occurrence.


 




    	5 



    	 



    

1.4 
Method of Conversion.


 


(a)  
Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, 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 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 5:00
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.


 


(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. 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.


 


(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 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.


 




    	6 



    	 



    

(e)  
Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. 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 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 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. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall
be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time,
on such date.


 


(f)   
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 contained
in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable 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 At Custodian (“DWAC”) system.


 


(g)              
DTC Eligibility & Market Loss. If the Borrower fails to maintain its status as “DTC Eligible” for
any reason, or, if the Conversion Price is less than $0.005 at any time after the Issue Date, the principal amount of the Note
shall increase by Ten Thousand and No/100 United States Dollars ($10,000) (under Holder’s and Borrower’s expectation
that any principal amount increase will tack back to the Issue Date) and the Variable Conversion Price shall be redefined to mean
forty percent (40%) multiplied by the Market Price, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note.


 


(h)  
Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Delivery 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 (other than a failure due to the circumstances described
in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $250.00 per day in
cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock until the Borrower issues and delivers
a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder's balance account with OTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount (under Holder's and Borrower's expectation that any damages
will tack back to the Issue Date)..




    	7 



    	 



    

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(h) are justified.


 


(i)                
Rescindment of a Notice of Conversion.  If (i) the Borrower fails to respond to Holder within one (1) business
day from the Conversion Date confirming the details of Notice of Conversion, (ii) the Borrower fails to provide any of the shares
of the Borrower’s Common Stock requested in the Notice of Conversion within three (3) business days from the date of receipt
of the Note of Conversion, (iii) the Holder is unable to procure a legal opinion required to have the shares of the Borrower’s
Common Stock issued unrestricted and/or deposited to sell for any reason related to the Borrower’s standing, (iv) the Holder
is unable to deposit the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock requested in the Notice of Conversion for any reason related
to the Borrower’s standing, (v) at any time after a missed Deadline, at the Holder’s sole discretion, or (vi) if OTC
Markets changes the Borrower's designation to ‘Limited Information’ (Yield), ‘No Information’ (Stop Sign),
‘Caveat Emptor’ (Skull & Crossbones), ‘OTC’, ‘Other OTC’ or ‘Grey Market’ (Exclamation
Mark Sign) or other trading restriction on the day of or any day after the Conversion Date, the Holder maintains the option and
sole discretion to rescind the Notice of Conversion (“Rescindment”) with a “Notice of Rescindment.”


 


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 or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or
a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) 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 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note
have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities
as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of this Note 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:






    	8 



    	 



    

 


 


“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND
SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE 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 SOLD PURSUANT TO
RULE 144 OR RULE 144A 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.”


 


The legend set forth above
shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the
Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of
counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration
under the Act, which opinion shall be reasonably accepted by the Borrower 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 Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number
of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. In the event that the Borrower does not accept the opinion
of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as
Rule 144 or Regulation S, 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 either:
(i) 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) 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 the Notes, 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




    	9 



    	 



    

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, thirty (30) days
prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) 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.


 


(d)  
Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues
or sells, or in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, except for shares of Common Stock
issued directly to vendors or suppliers of the Borrower in satisfaction of amounts owed to such vendors or suppliers (provided,
however, that such vendors or suppliers shall not have an arrangement to transfer, sell or assign such shares of Common Stock prior
to the issuance of such shares), any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction
of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion
Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”),
then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share
received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.


 




    	10 



    	 



    

The Borrower shall
be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or
options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common
Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants,
rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and
the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then
in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price
per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount,
if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the
case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration
payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable,
by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion
of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance
of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise of such Options.


 


Additionally, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible
Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the
price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect,
then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price
per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount,
if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus
the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof
at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion
Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.


 


(e)  
Purchase Rights. If, at any time when any Notes are 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




    	11 



    	 



    

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.


 


(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, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment
and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish
to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect
and (iii) 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.


 


1.7 
[Intentionally Omitted].


 


1.8 
Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other
than the 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 (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion
Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion
Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section
1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.


 


1.9 
Prepayment. Subject to the terms of this Note, and provided that an Event of Default has not occurred under this
Note, the Borrower may prepay the amounts outstanding hereunder pursuant to the following terms and conditions:


 


(a)  
At any time during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the date which is sixty (60) days following the
Issue Date, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than five (5) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder
of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full by making a payment to the Holder of an amount
in cash equal to 20%, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding




    	12 



    	 



    

principal amount of this Note plus
(x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note plus (y) Default Interest, if any.


(b)  
At any time during the period beginning the day which is sixty-one (61) days following the Issue Date and ending on the
date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the Issue Date, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less
than five (5) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued
interest), in full by making a payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to 40%, 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 plus (y) Default Interest, if any.


(c)  
After the expiration of one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the Note, the Borrower shall have no right of
prepayment.


1.10         
Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the
Note at its registered addresses by physical mail 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 applicable
prepayment amount to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower. If the Borrower delivers
an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the applicable prepayment amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business
days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to Section
1.9.

all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Further, if a breach of Sections 3.9, 3.10 and/or 3.19 occurs or is
continuing after the six (6) month anniversary of this Note, then the principal amount of the Note shall increase by Ten Thousand
and No/100 United States Dollars ($10,000) (under Holder’s and Borrower’s expectation that any principal amount increase
will tack back to the Issue Date) and the Holder shall be entitled to use the lowest Trading Price during the delinquency period
as a base price for the conversion with the Variable Conversion Price shall at the option of the Holder be redefined to mean fifty
percent (50%) multiplied by the Market Price, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note. For example, if the lowest Trading
Price during the delinquency period is $0.50 per share and the conversion discount is 50%, then the Holder may elect to convert
future conversions at $0.25 per share. If this Note is not paid at Maturity Date, then the outstanding principal due under this
Note shall increase by Ten Thousand and No/100 United States Dollars ($10,000).


 


The Holder shall have the right at any time
after an Event of Default occurs under this Note to require the Borrower, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount and/or
Default Sum, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount and/or Default Sum divided by the
Conversion Price then in effect, pursuant to the terms of this Note (including but not limited to any beneficial ownership limitations
contained herein). This requirement by the Borrower shall automatically apply upon the occurrence of an Event of Default without
the need for any party to give any notice or take any other action.


 


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

hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

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
(and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) 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. Neither




    	20 



    	 



    

the Borrower nor the Holder shall assign this
Note or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 reasonable
costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.


 


4.6 
Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming without
regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated
by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts located in State of Florida or federal courts located in the State of Florida.
The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive 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 TO, 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 TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. The prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note
or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law,
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 any agreement. 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 Agreement or any other Transaction
Document 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 Agreement 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.


 


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




    	21 



    	 



    

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. By its acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the applicable terms of the
Purchase Agreement.


 


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 proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower 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 including,
but not limited to, name changes, recapitalizations, etc. as soon as possible under law.


 


4.10         
Usury. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable
law governing usury, the applicable provision shall automatically be revised to equal the maximum rate of interest or other amount
deemed interest permitted under applicable law. The Borrower covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will
not seek to claim or take advantage of any law that would prohibit or forgive the Borrower from paying all or a portion of the
principal or interest on this Note.


 


4.11         
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. No provision of this Note shall alter or impair
the obligation of the Borrower, which is absolute and




    	22 



    	 



    

unconditional, to pay the principal of, and
interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.


 


4.12         
Severability. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute
or rule of law, 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 provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.


 


4.13         
Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price, Conversion Amount,
any prepayment amount or Default Amount, Default Sum, 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 two
(2) Business Days 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 two (2) Business Days 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 two (2) Business Days, submit via facsimile (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, Default Sum 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 ten (10) Business Days 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.


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 with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder
of such security that was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Note, then the Borrower shall notify the Holder of such
additional or more favorable term and such term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with
the Holder.  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 conversion discounts, prepayment rate, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original
issue discounts, stock sale price, private placement price per share, and warrant coverage.


4.15         
Piggyback Registration Rights. The Borrower shall include on any registration statement that the Borrower files with
SEC all shares issuable upon conversion of this Note and exercise of the Warrant (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Borrower’s
failure to comply with this Section 4.15 shall result in liquidated damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of this
Note, but not less than Fifteen Thousand and No/100 United States Dollars




    	23 



    	 



    

($15,000), being immediately due and
payable to the Holder at its election in the form of cash payment or addition to the balance of this Note.


4.16         
Future Raises; Repayment from Proceeds. The Borrower shall not consummate any capital raising transactions (including
but not limited to from the issuance of debt and/or equity securities) during the initial sixty (60) calendar days after the Issue
Date. Until the Note is satisfied in full, if the Borrower receives cash proceeds from any source or series of related or unrelated
sources, including but not limited to, from the issuance of equity and/or debt securities, the conversion of outstanding warrants
of the Borrower, the issuance of securities pursuant to an equity line of credit of the Borrower or the sale of assets, the Borrower
shall, within one (1) business day of Borrower’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the Holder of such receipt, following which
the Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to require the Borrower to immediately apply all or any portion of such
proceeds to repay all or any portion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder and the Borrower agree and acknowledge
that this Section 4.16 shall not apply to the aggregate financing of up to $200,000 contemplated by the Borrower as of the Issue
Date. Failure of the Borrower to comply with this provision shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 3.4 of the Note.
In the event that such proceeds are received by the Holder prior to the Maturity Date, the required prepayment shall be subject
to the terms of Section 1.9 herein.
