(4)
CONVERSION OF NOTE. This Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Section 4.


 


(a)
(a) Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right at any time on or following the earlier of (i) the date that an Event of
Default (as defined in this Note) occurs or (ii) the date that the Uplist Offering is consummated, to convert all or any portion of the
then outstanding and unpaid Principal and Interest into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists
on the Issuance Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such Common Stock shall hereafter
be changed or reclassified, at the Conversion Price (as defined below) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”).
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be equal to
the quotient of dividing the Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common
Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round

fees, costs and any other fees or costs that may be incurred or charged in connection with the issuance of shares of the Company’s
Common Stock to the Holder arising out of or relating to the conversion of this Note.


 


(b)
Mechanics of Conversion.


 


(i)
Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date that the Holder is permitted to
effectuate a conversion pursuant to the terms of this Note (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by
email, facsimile, or other form of delivery, on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, NY Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice
of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. On or before
the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of Holder’s transmission of a Conversion Notice (the “Share
Delivery Date”), the Company shall (A) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to
the then existing provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144”) or any other applicable exemption or
registration and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”)
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Holder provides full and complete DTC delivery instructions, credit such aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account
with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system, (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate or book-entry position,
registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled
which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant the Rule 144.or (C) if a restrictive legend is required
to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the then existing federal securities laws, issue and deliver to the address
as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall bear the applicable restrictive legend. If this Note is
physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion
Amount being converted, then the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3)
Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding
Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Conversion
Notice.


 






    4


     


    

 


(ii)
Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s transmission of the facsimile,
email, or other form of delivery of the Conversion Notice to the Company, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to Holder pursuant
to the terms of this Note the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of
any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), the Original Principal Amount of the Note shall increase by $2,000
per day until the Company issues and delivers the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled to the Holder pursuant
to the terms of this Note (under Holder’s and Company’s expectation that any damages will tack back to the Issuance Date).
If the Company fails to deliver the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled on or before the Share Delivery
Date, resulting in a Conversion Failure, the Holder, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole
or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the
Outstanding Balance with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Company (under Holder’s and Company’s expectations
that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the original date of the Note), provided that the rescission of any portion, in
whole or in part, of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior
to the date of such rescission.


 


(iii)
DWAC/FAST Eligibility. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Shares by DWAC/FAST electronic transfer
or by delivering a physical stock certificate pursuant to the terms of this Note, or if there is a Conversion Failure as defined in Section
4(b)(ii) of this Note, and if the Holder incurs a Market Price Loss (as defined below), then at any time subsequent to incurring the
loss the Holder may provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Market Price Loss
and the Company must make the Holder whole by either of the following options at Holder’s election:


 


Market
Price Loss = [(High trade price for the period between the day of conversion and the day the shares clear in the Holder’s brokerage
account) x (Number of shares receivable from the conversion)] – [(Net Sales price realized by Holder) x (Number of shares receivable
from the conversion)].


 


Option
A – Pay Market Price Loss in Cash. The Company must pay the Market Price Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be
made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.


 


Option
B – Add Market Price Loss to Outstanding Balance. The Company must pay the Market Price Loss by adding the Market Price Loss to
the Outstanding Balance (under Holder’s and the Company’s expectation that any Market Price Loss amounts will tack back to
the Issuance Date).


 


(iv)
Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion
Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice
may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company
shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.


 


(c)
Limitations on Conversions or Trading.


 


(i)
Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any conversions of this Note and the Holder shall not have the right to convert
any portion of this Note or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to
such conversion or receipt of such interest payment, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the
Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would
result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to
any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation
to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that
the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount
of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice
for a principal amount of this Note that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own,
would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall
honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(a)
and, any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note.
The provisions of this Section may be waived by Holder upon not less than 65 days prior written notification to the Company.


 






    5


     


    

 


(ii)
Capitalization. So long as this as this Note is outstanding, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall furnish to
the Holder the then-current number of common shares issued and outstanding, the then-current number of common shares authorized, and
the then-current number of shares reserved for third parties.


 


(d)
Other Provisions.


 


(i)
Share Reservation. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock a number of shares
equal to at least 2 (two) times the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under this
Note; and within 3 (three) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder’s notice that such minimum number of
shares of Common Stock is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply
with such requirement.


 


(ii)
Prepayment. At any time prior to the date that an Event of Default occurs under this Note, the Company shall have the option,
upon 10 Business Days’ notice (the “Prepayment Notice Period”) to Holder, to pre-pay the entire remaining outstanding
principal amount of this Note in cash, provided that (i) the Company shall pay the Holder (x) 115% of the Outstanding Balance plus
(y) accrued and unpaid interest on the Outstanding Balance, (ii) such amount must be paid in cash on the next Business Day following
such the Prepayment Notice Period, and (iii) so long as Holder is entitled to convert the Note at such time pursuant to the terms of
this Note, the Holder may still convert the Note pursuant to the terms hereof at all times until such prepayment amount has been received
in full . Except as set forth in this Section the Company may not prepay this Note in whole or in part.


 


(iii)
Terms of Future Issuances. So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of
any promissory note, debenture or security (each referred to as a “Security”) (or upon any amendment to or conversion of
any existing 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 Company shall notify the Holder of such additional or more favorable
term and such term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the Note. 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, conversion
lookback periods, conversions or exchanges of existing notes or debentures, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sale price,
private placement price per share, and warrant coverage.


 


(iv)
Dilutive Issuances. If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall
sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to re-price, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer,
sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire
shares of Common Stock (other than an Exempt Issuance), at an effective price per share less than the then Conversion Price (such lower
price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions,
floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection
with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Conversion Price,
such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion
Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may only enforce its rights under this Section 4(d)(iv) after
the date that is one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the Issuance Date, provided, however, that at such time the Holder may
enforce its rights to all adjustments hereunder that apply even if the Dilutive Issuance occurred prior to the date that is one hundred
eighty (180) calendar days after the Issuance Date. “Exempt Issuance” shall mean: (i) Common Stock and Common Stock
Equivalents issued pursuant to an Uplist Offering, (ii) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued to employees or directors
of, or consultants, advisors or service providers to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iii) shares Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of Common Stock Equivalents
for which an adjustment has already been made pursuant to this Section 4(d)(iv), (iv) Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents
issued to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment
leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (v)  Common Stock and Common Stock
Equivalents issued to suppliers or third party service providers in connection with the provision of goods or services pursuant to transactions
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (vi) Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents issued as acquisition consideration
pursuant to the acquisition of another business by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization
or to a joint venture agreement, provided that such issuances are approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, and (vii) Common
Stock and Common Stock Equivalents issued in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, OEM,
marketing or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(v)
Notice of Dilution Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following a Dilutive
Issuance subject to Section 4(d)(iv), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion
price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether
or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 4(d)(v), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance,
after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless
of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Conversion Notice. All calculations under this Section 3 shall
be rounded up to the nearest $0.00001 or whole share.


 


(vi)
Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3 herein
for the Company’s failure to deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder
shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall
not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.


 


(5)
PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company shall include all shares issuable upon conversion of this Note for resale by Holder
at prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) on the first registration statement the Company files with the SEC after the Uplist

of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Holder to insist upon
strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right
thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in writing.


 


(10)
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Holder and Company agree that in the event Company fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of
this Note, Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’
inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Holder
and Company agree that any fees, balance adjustments, default interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but
instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Holder’s and Company’s expectations
that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Closing Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144).


 


(11)
ADJUSTMENTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Conversion Price is subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits
(including reverse stock splits and forward stock splits), stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company relating to the Company’s
securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Company, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions
and similar events.


 


(12)
USURY. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever
claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, in connection with any action or proceeding that may be brought by the Holder in order to enforce any right
or remedy under this Note. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, it is expressly agreed and provided
that the total liability of the Company under this Note for payments which under the applicable law are in the nature of interest shall
not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing,
in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums which under the applicable
law in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under this Note exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if
the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by applicable law and applicable to this Note is increased or decreased by statute or any
official governmental action subsequent to the Issuance Date, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum
Rate applicable to this Note from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under
any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Holder with respect to indebtedness
evidenced by this the Note, such excess shall be applied by the Holder to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be
refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Holder’s election.

(13)
SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of
law (including any judicial ruling), then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under
any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.
